Executive Seduction

H L Wampler

Catching His Songbird

Catching His Songbird

Jane Anne

Wren never wanted a baby. Or a boyfriend. Or to see her best friend Morgan naked. Oops. One out of three ain’t bad.

Wren Lancaster has her life perfectly under control—no messy feelings, no romantic entanglements, and absolutely no babies. That is, until her infuriatingly charming best friend Morgan suggests the unthinkable: have a baby together.

It’s not like they haven’t already crossed some lines. Okay, several lines. But what starts as a completely logical, totally non-sexual agreement (with a few steamy exceptions, for science) quickly spirals into a chaotic whirlwind of late-night confessions, shower escapades, and surprise feelings.

Now there’s a baby. Possibly love. And definitely a whole lot of awkward conversations to come.

If Wren can survive her past, Morgan’s unsolicited bird-themed baby name list, and the world’s most persistent ex-girlfriend, she might just stumble into the one thing she swore she never wanted… happiness.

But danger from Mackenzie’s past creeps closer, turning misunderstandings into something riskier. As trust grows where judgment once lived, Mackenzie must decide how long she can keep running. Because sometimes the person who sees you all wrong might be the only one who can keep you safe.

A Wild Raven

A Wild Raven

C. Swallow

My father died when I was a baby.

My mother died when I was two.

I grew up in foster care, constantly shifting between families.

I’m twenty-three now, and still moving from place to place. If there’s a ranch or a farm that needs an extra set of hands, I’m there.

But my greatest wish? To find my forever family.

The job at the Devonshire Ranch is only supposed to last through Christmas. But for the first time in my life, I don’t want to leave.

Maybe it’s the family that doesn’t treat me like an outsider. Maybe it’s the bond that’s grown between me and the horses.

Or maybe it’s Coal Wilde and his dark stare. His skin glistening in the winter sun. His warm hand on my thigh, waiting for me to ask for more.

Will this be the Christmas I get my wish?
