There’s no place like home…

When Amelia’s father remarries right as she’s college-bound, she decides to leave behind his happy new beginning—and her annoying new stepbrother, Theo—for good. The three months they lived together proved they have nothing in common except mutual disdain.

Now, ten years later, Amelia finds herself in a situation where she has nowhere else to go but home. To her dad, who is madly in love with his second wife, a woman she barely knows and has never accepted. To her childhood home that has been methodically erased of her late mother and the memories she had of her real family.

And, worst of all, to Theo. Except he’s no longer the awkward teenager she barely remembers. Adding insult to injury, he has somehow transformed into one of the Abercrombie models featured on her posters from high school.

When their jobs collide and their personalities clash, these opposites never expect to fall in love.

Bex Sterling knows what she wants and exactly how to get it. Her bold personality and hard work have earned her two million YouTube subscribers. If she were to fall in love, it would have to be with the right guy—easy-going, chill, and up for anything.

So, basically, everything that Roman Powell is not.

But he is on the cover of Business Success magazine as one of the nation’s Top 10 Young (and Single) CEOs, so he’d make a great interview for her channel. Surely she can endure him for a simple interview. For her viewers’ sake, of course.

Except that their interview refuses to follow the plan.

Alex Ryder is the best detective in her division, but she’s harboring a secret that could kill her entire career.

When Detective Alex Ryder picks up a new homicide case, no one knows her secret connection to the murder. As personal issues and an obsessive nature threaten her career, Alex follows a lead onto the Emerald Adventure, a cruise ship heading to the Bahamas for five days. But the killer’s on board, and it’s only a matter of time before someone else dies.

Dreams do come true . . .

Artist and café owner Lucy Daumier’s marriage is on the rocks. All her husband Gerry seems to do these days is put her down.

Then she wins a brand-new purple motorbike in a raffle. It’s always been her dream to ride one and she’s never had the chance . . . until now.

Gerry says she’s too fat to ride a motorbike and should sell it. When did he become so cruel? She’s determined to prove him wrong.

Under the watchful eye of bearded biker Ashley, Lucy begins to take motorbike lessons. But she’s definitely not a natural . . .

And there’s more to Ashley than meets the eye. He’s single dad to seven-year-old Daisy and hides a big heart beneath those leathers. Lucy begins to get the hang of riding and grows closer to Ashley by the day.
