One cramped exam room... a hot British footballer... and an innocent nurse.What could go wrong?Turns out, everything.Conor Kelly-hot British striker and notorious playboy-has landed himself across the pond for recovery, after a potentially career-ending injury.I'm a shy nurse-stuck back in my Oregon hometown, and desperately trying to figure out my life.Then our paths cross at one unexpected appointment-and suddenly, everything is thrown for a loop.It started with a flirt, and then a pact: to transform me from good girl to confident woman, to help me win the heart of my long-time crush.It's a win-win, right? I finally get the guy, and he gains an amusing distraction while he's stuck in town.But it doesn't take long before the lines between us become blurred...Before the lessons and emotions feel altogether too real...Before clothing and rules and shouldn'ts end up tossed aside.Suddenly, nothing between us feels like "practice" at all.Now I've found myself caught in the middle of a game I never expected, with a man who never had any intentions of settling down-though now, his eyes tell me otherwise.And all I want to do with this hot footballer is play for keeps.

I'm a single dad veterinarian, in desperate need of a nanny for the summer.She's an awkwardly intense plant scientist, in desperate need of funds.But what kind of a man opens his door to a woman with no references, no experience and clearly, no interest in the job...... and agrees to hire her?Me. I'm that guy.I mean, why the hell not? It's not like anything else in my life has ever made a lick of sense.Like leaving Texas behind to start over again with my daughter-and my veterinary practice-up north in my brother's small town, leaving behind a painful past I'm trying to forget.I never expected Erica Grant to get under my skin from the moment we met.That woman has built walls around herself all the way to China.And God, she's distractingly desirable-without even knowing it.Seeing her bond immediately with my daughter was a happy accident.Falling for her myself was never meant to be part of the plan.Yet those private moments between us somehow manage to blur all of our carefully drawn lines.Our accidental kiss may have lit the match-but that stormy, passionate night in the stables left me unable to walk away. Hard as I try, I can't ignore the voice in my head, reminding me of my past mistakes-and this time, the stakes are higher than ever. Because once again, it's not just my daughter's heart on the line...it's also my own.

I knew better than to get myself involved with a musician.Especially someone like Irish rocker, Aidan Flynn.It was one lucky gig, meant only to help my family's struggling bar make a comeback.I didn't ask for him to show up, looking like a hot snack.Or to find myself on my back... with his deliciously muscular body on top of mine, in the bar after hours.But I can't forget what happened the last time I let a rockstar into my heart.And between the two of us, Aidan and I have more baggage than anyone could possibly unpack in a lifetime.I'm a small town girl with a business to save-and he's an arrogant charmer with money, fame and the world at his feet.Not only do we clash-we're not even in the same stratosphere.But that doesn't stop me from wanting him... or remembering the feel of his lips, blazing a trail of fire across my soul.Or maybe this time... I just don't want to resist.

The moment that grumpy cowboy strode up in his half-buttoned shirt, looking like a tall drink of water - I knew I was a goner. Dealing with someone like Carter Hill was not what I'd signed up for. This was just supposed to be a temp job, a punishment from my sleazy boss after I refused to give him a you-know-what. The plan was simple - Get in, fix the horse, then get back to my life within a few weeks.Except the horse I'd been sent to rehab ended up being way more complex than I'd imagined. But my attraction to this sexy, muscled and condescending rancher is about a hundred times more challenging than anything on four legs. We're butting heads from the moment we meet. And on a small ranch, it's damn near impossible to keep your distance. Even harder? Preventing the constant push-and-pull between us from combusting... into a smoldering fire. Which is why it doesn't take long before our hands, lips, everything are all over each other. But beneath Carter's stoic facade is a soulful man with a broken past. I can't help wanting to rehab the cowboy, too...in countless ways. If I stay, I risk my job, my reputation... and my career. Walking away means I'll lose out on forever - with the man who has branded my heart. Bound to the Cowboy is a steamy age-gap, opposites attract, off-limits small town romance. Packed with light humor, forced proximity, and grumpy-meets-sunshine main characters. Standalone/HEA.
