About this ebook
His Best Friend's Girl
by Christine Rimmer
True love might be patient…but how long is too long?
Ethan Bravo had been in love with Matilda Hunt since…well, since before she was Matilda Hunt, actually. Because he and Gabe Hunt had been best friends since high school. So Matty was off-limits to Ethan. Even now, after Matty has been a widow for three years, he considers her forbidden fruit. It was easy when she lived in LA, but now Matty’s moved home for good. And instead of betraying his best friend’s memory and revealing his heart, Ethan settled for being her confidant.
Except Matty is pregnant with the child from her now ex-boyfriend—a man who wants nothing to do with Matty or the baby. So Ethan is stepping up, becoming the one man Matty can trust. Sharing his true feelings now would shatter that trust. And Ethan can’t risk losing Matty—again. He can be the one man she deserves, even if keeping his secret could break his heart.
Beach Cottage Kisses
by Tara Taylor Quinn
Helping her best friend is a no-brainer
Unfortunately, so is falling for him
Aside from a spontaneous kiss at his sister’s wedding, Scott Martin and Iris Shiprock’s relationship has remained firmly—safely—in the friend zone. And why not? They’re both confident, independent commitmentphobes. But when a surfing accident leaves Scott in need of 24/7 care, Iris moves in to help…exposing the lingering attraction simmering beneath the surface.
Learning to rely on someone is hard for Scott, and Iris finds that caring for her stubborn best friend is almost impossible without falling for him. But with a strong foundation—and two meddling dogs—anything can happen!

And when her sexy ex offers to reignite their old fling and accompany her on an Alaskan adventure, Kaylin can’t say no. Ethan Harrington knows how to get her out of her funk. Fun is the theme for the week, down to the white water rafting and their fabulous old-timey fake wedding. Except the paperwork is genuine—and now two commitmentphobes are married. The real question is, will it be for better or for worse?
Love Letters from the Trail
by Tif Marcelo
Rivals in reality…but a perfect match on paper!
Military widow Evangeline Espiritu’s world turns topsy-turvy the minute wealthy Cruz Forrester invades the peaceful hiking trail behind her bucolic Virginia bed-and-breakfast. With the privacy of her business at stake, at least she has her trail pen pal, Rolling Stone, to pour her heart out to!
After surviving cancer, Cruz is at a crossroads. And whatever he does seems to exasperate the attractive Filipina host, who’s alternately infuriating…and intriguing.
