The Lover
Summary
Ellie Quick recap. My dad died leaving me an orphan. Jake stepped in and married me rather than letting me go to a foster home. Did I mention I was only 16 at the time? It was okay for a while until it wasn't. Because those feelings that I had for Jake as my oldest friend slowly turned into something else over the years. Feelings he could not deal with. So I did the right thing and divorced him. It was the right thing. I'm pretty sure it was the right thing. Okay it was probably the wrong thing...but I don't think either of us know where we go from here. Jake I had to let her go. I had to let her see there was more to the world than the ranch. Than me. She's never had a choice really, in any of this. I think I did the right thing. I know I did the right thing. Did I do the right thing? More importantly if I didn't...how do I get her back? Contains mature themes.

Stone
Summary
First, hate. Then, want. But in the end? Heartbreak. My celebrity life was supposed to be easy, and this movie was the biggest break of my career. But from the moment Officer Levi Fox gave me a speeding ticket on my way into town, he's been nothing but a thorn in my side. Dominant. Cocky. Callous. Midnight blue eyes, a bad attitude, and muscles for days, he's exactly the kind of man I should avoid. But as the Cold, Montana Police Department's official movie liaison, he's taken up a permanent place in my life that I can't shake. We fight. A lot. Then, we kiss - and my carefully crafted hate toward him no longer feels so much like hate. I'm falling, falling, falling. But how often do alpha-jerks cushion the landing?

Conceited
Summary
Ariel I would like to say we were old lovers. That once upon a time he was my everything, and I was his, but that would be a lie. He may have been mine, but I wasn’t his. I was his sister’s annoying little friend who he didn’t even know was in love with him. Years later, after seeing him again for the first time, nothing has changed. Except now, he notices me, and I will do everything in my power to avoid him. Because Falcon is the most conceited man on this planet, and because when he looks at me with steel eyes, my heart still misses a beat. Falcon I get what I want, and I’m never denied anything either. It’s my charm. It’s hard to say no to something you never knew you desired until I’m standing in front of you. That’s not just who I am, it’s what I do. I help men achieve everything they have ever wanted. Most people would go to great lengths to be near me. Yet, my sweet Ariel, I can’t even get her to stay in the same room as me.

It couldn’t possibly be anything else, because let’s face it, I’m perfect. All audiobooks in the series can be listened to as stand-alone stories.

Summary

Conceited Concierge
Summary
A fresh start in Temecula, CA, was exactly what I needed to get over my breakup. I was looking forward to Palm Trees, fine wine, the beaches, and killer sunsets. But I never expected to run into handsome Levi Bateman while still on my way to California. The last thing I needed was a conceited passenger. I had a job to focus on. I knew Levi would be a distraction because we would be working in close proximity. He was so sure of himself, resisting him was even harder. Not only did I have a job to focus on, I had a broken heart to mend and I was 10 years older than Levi. There was too much baggage between the both of us. Besides I didn't know if I'd be staying in Temecula after the job was complete. All good things must come to end. Maybe before it even started. Except our ending was one I didn't see coming.
