JUST ENGAGED. WHO SAID ANYTHING ABOUT LOVE? The plan was simple: find the perfect girl, wife her for a few months, and save my parents from a stinging case of heartbreak. That was before I got my first taste of Skye's whip-sharp tongue. Before she woke up wearing my ring and a hundred questions. Before I found out it takes more than a million dollars to put the sun back in her smile. She needs a friend. A protector. A relentless caveman who won't quit until her haunted, uptight good girl act is history. One glaring problem: Cade doesn't do serious.

I didn't know how wrong I could be. She's scandalized my very soul. Every secret, every touch, every smoldering glance is fresh insanity. We're on a collision course. There's no hiding the truth when Skye, my delicious little lie, has me asking the unthinkable. What if the woman I'm about to pretend marry is chaos incarnate? What if her kiss is an obsession? And what if I can't let our sweet madness end? Complete stand alone romance novel with the tears, lip-biting alpha hotness, and drama dreams are made of. Happily Ever After guaranteed. Wall Street Journal bestselling author Nicole Snow knows how to bring it!

Jilted at the altar, Talia Dobson instead marries her groom's older brother, the dashing Earl of Ashcombe, and, after one night of unforgettable passion, is dispatched alone to his country estate where she, after an encounter with danger, demands forever after from her husband.

He saved her life… When Annalise Hadley is tossed over the side of her honeymoon barge, the newly minted duchess knows she’s been left for dead—for her husband’s only interest is in her vast dowry, not her muddied lineage. However, she didn’t count on a savior. Especially not an honorable, sinfully intriguing earl who will tempt her to risk everything—again. Now he will seduce her heart and soul. A man with his own demons, Owen Crawford, the reclusive Earl of McDowell, is enchanted by the mysterious, courageous woman he rescued. He will help her heal, teach her to protect herself, and then send her away—so that she’ll never see he’s far from the hero she believes him to be. But days and nights alone prove that some secrets are meant to be discovered…some desires are too powerful to resist…and some wounds can be healed only by love.

ON PAPER, IT'S PRETEND. BUT MY HEART KNOWS WHAT'S REAL. His proposal came in a little black envelope with thirteen unlucky words: You still owe me that favor, doll, and I'm cashing in. Marry me. In a normal life, I'd never get hitched to Calvin Randolph. Not with his heart-stopping blue eyes, infamous player reputation, and an ego bigger than the part of his anatomy he loves boasting about the most. Been there, done that. All except the last part, which he's left to my shameful imagination for seven years apart. Of course, the fake fiancee contract I just signed is anything but normal. Neither was the tragic day our schoolyard romance died, when he made an unspeakable sacrifice. He saved my life. He paid a terrible price. Now, I owe him big. He's come to collect in make believe: the blushing lies, the sideways glances leaving me breathless, the teasing kisses every time his teeth grab my bottom lip in front of the world. It shouldn't be this hard. It's just pretend. It's just a few weeks. I can totally resist the demanding, cold, obscenely handsome man he's become. We have our rules. But the simple one I kept to myself might be harder: don't fall in love. I already did that once. I know the risks. I won't let it happen. Because if his charm steals my heart again, if I let him go all the way when his lips trace scary promises on mine, this paper engagement becomes real enough to ruin us...
