As a single mom, Dr. Sabrina Bankhead doesn't have time for romance. She reluctantly agrees to take part in a dating show fundraiser for a children's hospital. Once she sets eyes on the journalist hired to cover the show, none of the four contestants stand a chance. But if she doesn't choose an eligible bachelor, the hospital doesn't raise a cent. What's a lovestruck doc to do?

Investigative journalist Quinn Donnelly is recovering after an assignment overseas left him physically and emotionally scarred. Though he's itching to return, he'll have to be content with this fluff assignment covering a dating show. One-night stands are Quinn's forte-but after he meets Sabrina, he's ready for the long haul. After years of chasing the next story, Quinn is starting to wonder if maybe home really can be where the heart is . . .

Riley Pommer doesn't want to be lassoed into any relationship. But with the family ranch in dire straits, his sisters' crazy plan to turn the ranch into the setting for a dating competition is the only thing blocking foreclosure. The rules of the game change the instant Riley lays eyes on the spirited Ainsley. As others try to stampede over them, can Riley prove to Ainsley that true love is a prize worth fighting for?

The Fallen Boys were at their zenith when Zac’s luck ran out. Accustomed to adulation, wall-to-wall glamour, sex and all the illusions of fame, Karl and the remaining Boys find themselves in strange territory. No longer courted, with zero prospect of resurrecting the group, they find themselves facing harsh realities.

Karl is driven to appear on chat shows and accept pantomime roles: all the P.R. exercises he previously spurned. Desperate for work he even auditions for a blue movie. Reluctantly, he participates in a TV reality series soon after he meets Lizzie Keating, daughter of an IRA bomber.

Hormones and adrenalin surge as the challenges to their relationship surface: Karl’s father, ex-Army and implacable in his hatred for the Irish; Karl’s wandering eye; Lizzie’s refusal to play second fiddle to anyone.
