Neighbors Like ThatHe started our war–I intend to finish it. Buying a house in the suburbs was supposed to be low stress: my own little haven to decorate and landscape exactly how I want.Instead I find myself locking my garbage can to keep pests out–pests that are six-foot-one, green-eyed, and far too good looking.My trespassing neighbor is rude and entitled. It isn’t long before war is declared and I find myself stooping to immature pranks. When trouble lands at my door, my unlikely neighbor starts knocking on my heart. Was I ready to answer?Christmas Like ThisI know exactly what I’d like to put in Trey’s stocking: the biggest lump of coal I can carry. Unfortunately, I won’t get the chance, because our boss has delivered an ultimatum: plan the company Christmas party with Trey and learn to get along, or else. After only one day of trying to plan the Christmas party, I’m ready to pick the “or else.”Is it possible to learn to get along with the most aggravating, overprotective, handsome guy I’ve ever known?We’re about to find out if we can get our names off the naughty list or not.Friends Like TheseWhat do you get when you take over a failing golf course? A woman.My grandfather left me his golf course so he could enjoy an early retirement. Unfortunately, it wasn’t the only thing he left for me… Page comes to my golf course—winning the hearts and minds of (most) my staff by permanently relocating the deadly mascot left by my grandfather.This beautiful woman with a million terrible ideas and a wanderer’s heart is determined to help me. I don’t need her help—but I can’t seem to tell her no, even if I end up being the proud owner of a one-legged chicken.Page Boone is going to drive me crazy—and I wouldn’t have it any other way.Vacations Like ThisSome people view nosiness as a character flaw. I prefer to think of it as a useful skill. Like a sixth sense or intuition. It’s my super power. And since I became a reporter for my small town newspaper, I like to think my super power puts bagels on my table.A tiny (quite big, actually) mistake has me eagerly accepting a contract job investigating a resort being built in a small Colorado town. But there’s one small problem. (6’4” according to his license—maybe my nosiness does go too far sometimes.)What I didn’t count on was being double-booked in a cabin with Mack Boone. Our families have known each other since high school, so it feels wrong to kick him out of my cabin.Besides…he’s kind, he’s protective, and a great kisser. Three qualities I admire in a man.But when I find out why he is in town, I realize I’ve made yet another mistake.No more kissing, Kimber. He’s the enemy. Lines are drawn. (Literally.) Wars fought. Hills sledded. Lips kissed. Oh right, I wasn’t going to do that one anymore. Maybe I’ll call it research…The more I investigate the resort, the more time I spend with Mack…the more I wonder what I’m really fighting against. The more I wonder if I can take a chance on love.What if the villain is really the hero in this story?Tuesdays Like ThisMy grandma’s dying wish is to see me married. That’s kind of hard when my idea of commitment is finishing a TV series.So I organize a fake wedding to Jordan Boone.I’ll be the wish grantor and keep my freedom.Do I know my fake husband? Barely. We played together as children since our grandmothers were best friends, so I’m grateful he’s willing to go along with my wild idea.Except someone (ahem, Mimi Boone) interferes, and apparently we’ve been married for real. My very real hunk of a husband has grown up to be a fiiiine man.That still isn’t enough for me to want to be trapped in a marriage. Undoing it should be easy. It will be easy. Just as soon as I get this inheritance mess straightened out…
