Only for a Moment

Can love in the spotlight really have a chance to shine?

Playing the lead in the summer's hottest new show is a dream come true for Cal McCormick. It’s the big break he’s been waiting for after leaving his modeling career—and ex-girlfriend—behind in Australia. Things only get better after meeting the seriously cute and unassuming local real estate agent.

Milena Hill transformed her entire life by kicking her deadbeat boyfriend out and embarking on a new career. She’s ready to take on the world—or at least the town of Cedar Springs. The last thing she expects is to fall for an incredibly sexy movie star. Even more unexpected? He’s just as into her.

Caught up in a whirlwind romance is exciting, but dating a celebrity has its drawbacks, especially for a woman like Milena who hates the limelight. Enter Cal’s sexy co-star who shares a history with him that’s ripe for tabloid gossip, and things only get more complicated. How can Milena compete with a woman who is so unfairly gorgeous and as comfortable in the spotlight as Cal?

Cal must show Milena that living a life in the spotlight will only give her a chance to shine. But can Milena trust in a love that will turn her life upside down? And more importantly, can their new love withstand the pressures of stardom or is it nothing more than fresh gossip for the tabloids?

She needs a fiancé. He’s happy to help. Can they see that the love that was never supposed to be real, is as real as it gets? Or will it be too late?

For years, single mom, Evie Rose has managed just fine on her own thank you very much. But when her son’s father unexpectedly reappears on the scene, she risks losing everything if she can’t demonstrate a stable family environment for her son. And fast.

Declan McCormick has dedicated his life to helping others. So when the super sexy, fiercely independent, Evie Rose asks for his help, there’s no way he can say no.

Especially since she needs him to be her fake fiancé.

After all, anything that means stealing a kiss or two, seems like a pretty good deal.

As Evie and Declan spend more time together, not only does their relationship start to look real, it starts to feel more real than anything she’s ever felt before. But when everything starts to unravel, tough decisions have to be made—quickly.

Evie will do anything to keep her son and the life they’ve built. Even if it means closing her heart to something she’s never felt before. Declan didn’t think love was possible, but if he doesn’t open his eyes to see what’s in front him, he could lose the family he’s grown to love—forever.

Two men. Two very different futures. The problem? She’s falling for both of them.

After spending the summer with her family, Chelsea McCormick is ready to move on and is looking forward to the future. Whatever it holds. But when two very different men begin to vie for her attention, everything starts to change, and Chelsea’s future once again starts to look very uncertain.

Scott Harding has always loved the small-town life. Settling down in a place with a sense of community, like Cedar Springs, falling in love and starting a family is Scott’s idea of perfection. And Chelsea is just the woman who makes everything he’s ever wanted finally seem possible.

Driven and ambitious, Lucas Lee sees his time in town as a temporary launching pad to catapult him into a more prestigious position. He’s never been interested in a serious relationship, but Chelsea just might be special enough to change his mind forever.

Scott and Lucas represent two very different futures. The problem is, Chelsea's drawn to both of them for wildly different reasons. Love, adoration and a future? Or excitement, passion and the unknown? One man appeals to who she wants to be, and one to who she realizes she’s always been. How can she possibly choose?

He’s totally off limits and wrong for her in so many ways. That’s why he’s perfect…for the moment.

Amber McCormick has always had a plan. As long as things were orderly and she was in complete control, she couldn’t get hurt. But when life throws her a curve ball, she decides it’s time for a change. Or at least, time for a little fun. The fun she’s looking for comes in the form of her best friend’s smoking hot big brother. She knows she shouldn’t go there, but it’s only going to be temporary and it’ll be over before anyone gets hurt. 

Cole Price doesn’t do relationships, especially serious ones. Which is why sharing one hot weekend with his little sister’s college roommate is perfect. Who knew up-tight, super strait-laced Amber McCormick could be so wild?

But when a few days turn into a few more, and then…a few more, Cole realizes he doesn’t want it to end. However, Amber seems determined to return to her carefully controlled life. Can he prove to her that what they share goes beyond a red-hot fling? Can she allow herself to take a chance on Cole or was their relationship only meant to be perfect for a moment?

She can’t get over the past. He's falling for a lie. Is their love strong enough to survive the truth?

With a hot new look, and an even hotter new social media career, Gwen is barely recognizable from the overweight, awkward girl she’d been the last time she spent a summer in the resort town of Cedar Springs. And that’s exactly what she’s counting on. Gwen knew there was a chance she’d run into the boy who broke her heart all those years ago, but she wasn’t prepared for the man he’d become—or the fact that he doesn’t remember her at all.

It’s been ten years since Ian McCormick has been back in town and he’s more than ready to put his family drama behind him, start a new business and maybe even have a little fun. And what better way to enjoy summer at the lake than with the gorgeous brunette he can’t stop thinking about?

It was just supposed to be a fun little experiment for her followers. A test to see if looks really do matter. Would Ian be interested the new and improved version of her after all these years?

It was perfect.

At least until all the feelings she thought were long dead, come rushing back. And once the plan is in motion, she can’t back out. With their hearts on the line, can Gwen continue to play a game that could devastate them both and destroy the only real chance at love she’s ever had?

Harrison had to marry and produce an heir or he’d lose his title.  And he had a very short period of time in which to accomplish that miracle.  Unfortunately, the only woman who had ever affected him wouldn’t give him the time of day…until he discovered her brother stealing priceless artifacts out of his home.  Now he could manipulate the situation to his benefit.  The woman who had evaded him for so many years would finally be his!

Dassar needed a wife.  The lovely Luna fit none of his criteria.  She was too soft, too sweet and would be hurt by palace life.  So why couldn’t he forget her?  Why could she get under his skin so easily?  And why couldn’t he simply walk away?  

And then she’d asked him to teach her how to attract a man!  If any of his competitors knew what a soft spot he had for this woman, he’d have to destroy them.  But there it was.  He could crush his competition without breaking a sweat, but he couldn’t deny Scarlett when she asked him for help. 

Scarlett had loved Grayson since she was a young teenager, and the feeling had only grown stronger as the years had passed.  But every time she’d decided that she was going to tell him about her feelings, the man had yet another paramour on his arm.  She hated him and loved him…and had no idea how to break out of this painful cycle.  How could she convince him that she could love him better than all of those silly women?  Or failing that, how could she move on with her life?

This book includes additional free bonus content:

- a new novella about Sierra's brother Daniel from The Duke's Blackmailed Bride,

- the introduction stories for the new Samara Royal Family Series,

- and an excerpt of the first book in the new series, Pregnant with the Sheik's Baby!

The Mount Trilogy continues with Defiant Queen... 

I’m his entertainment. His toy. Payment on a debt.

I tell myself I hate him, but every time he walks into the room, my body betrays me. How can I want him and fear him in the same moment?

They told me he’d mess with my head. Make it go to war with my body.

But I didn’t realize it would be complete anarchy.

I should’ve known better. When Mount’s involved, there are no rules.

I will not surrender. I will not show weakness. I’ll stand my ground and make it out of this bargain with my heart and soul intact.

But he has other plans . . .

Defiant Queen is the second book of the Mount Trilogy and should be read after Ruthless King. Mount and Keira's story concludes in Sinful Empire.
