Every time I turn around, Maverick is there. I'm doing my best to hold it all together, but the truth is, when I see him with my daughter, I know I've already fallen too far.

Jase Andrews is trouble...but the best kind. Too gorgeous for his own good, the former professional athlete is every woman's dream, including mine. I need to stay away, but he's relentless.

I watched my father give my mother the world and the stars. She took everything from him, then left him as a broken man with nothing to live for. I told myself I'd never fall in love. I'm guarding my heart and emotions, only looking out for number one.

There comes a point in your life where you have to say enough is enough. I wasted my college years on a guy who played with my head, played with my heart. I was blinded by the fairy tale, the one that didn't exist. The day I gave up on the idea of happily ever after, my focus became me. Moving forward and establishing my career. Until one day.... I didn't expect him. My new boss, a six foot two, inked rock god. I believed I was working for the record label - I was wrong.

My name's Ava Evans, and I'm in love with my older brother's best friend, Nate Garrison.

They tell you that a parent's love is all consuming. I never put much thought into it. Not until the minute I heard her take her first breath. That little girl is my world.

They're trying to say I can't give her what she needs.

I'm out of my depth participating in a blind-date photo shoot. Not only am I meant to act like I'm open for dating, but I'm meant to be sexy and get up close and personal with a complete stranger.

Owen Riggins is too good to be true. The best things in life usually are. He's good looking, generous, and interested in me. Too bad someone like him and someone like me aren't meant to be together. He's used to the best things in life, and I've grown up with the worst.

From the moment I see her, I'm hooked. One thing's for sure, I can't stay away from the new kindergarten teacher with the kind smile and secrets in her brown eyes. There's no hiding in a small town, and she's suddenly everywhere. My family loves her, my niece won't stop talking about her, and I just want to make her mine. Crosby is everything I didn't know I was looking for, but the wall she keeps up makes it impossible to love her the way I want to. I have to figure out how to tear it down, and fast.

Being a single mom is not how I envisioned life would turn out. But after my happily ever after ended way too soon, I'm doing my best and taking each day as it comes. Life is full of surprises, though, both good and bad...like Marshall Riggins coming to my rescue in the pharmacy line.

She came into my life without warning. It wasn't love at first sight, but the more time I spent with her, I knew she was the one.

From the first moment I sit next to the sexy suit on the plane, the butterflies in my stomach have nothing to do with turbulence and everything to do with the way he's looking at me.

Griffin: All it takes is four days to change my carefully planned-out life. Four days to fall for Peyton Monroe. Four days to convince her to give me . . . us a chance.

But from the moment my frisbee lands at her feet on the beach, I can't stop thinking about her. She's beautiful, funny, smart . . . and lives thirteen hours away. Long-distance love is a complication I should avoid, but staying away from Peyton is not an option.
