She’s an accountant who likes order. He’s a bounty hunter for whom life is chaotic and dangerous. Can opposites attract when his world comes knocking on her door?

JOSIE

I’ve always craved balance in my life, so training to be an accountant and joining the family business, was a no-brainer. It’s safe, secure and there are never any surprises. That’s just how I like it.

On leaving the office Friday night, I never could have imagined that someone like Chase Hunter would end up dominating my weekend and potentially my life.

Sure I’ve seen him from afar, and maybe even drooled over him, but finding all six-foot-three of him in my backyard, and missing a shirt, is a different story. A story I find myself longing to read, slowly and thoroughly.

CHASE

Chase Hunter, bounty hunter, and yeah, I’ve heard ALL the jokes, so don’t bother. I prefer to call myself a bail enforcement agent, rather than model myself on some long haired reality star. Sure, I like to get my man and the reward as much as my famous counterparts; I just do it with less bravado.

It’s this drive to succeed that has me chasing a felon through half a dozen backyards on a Friday night. It's when the creep breaks into a house that things really get interesting. Sure, I catch the guy, but I also find Josie Robinson. And what a find. Could she be the woman I've been searching for all along?

She’s all about body positivity, refusing to hide her curves any longer. He’s all about hiding from the world, his past, and especially his future.

MANDY

I’m the queen of voice-over, something that often finds me locked in a sound-proof room. I’m sure it’s where smoking hot but grumpy, Logan Young would prefer I stay.

But, I’m burning to show him the error of his ways, plus a few other things, meaning this songbird is about to break the bars on her self-imposed cage and fly the coop. I’m about to be confronted as never before, and by someone I didn’t see coming; especially not, when I was naked.

LOGAN

I like my own company all while protecting the forest, people’s homes, and even myself. I’m starting to think that where my body is concerned Mandy Gibson, might be a bigger threat than fire.

I prefer to keep away from the world, with any amount of solitude better than having my heart ripped out of my chest and stomped on again. Unfortunately, fate and an intimate glade in the forest, have other ideas, tempting me as never before.

She’s never gotten over that first love, instead devoting herself to her business. Meanwhile, his career is over, although not through any fault of his own.

BRIDGET

I’ve always had green thumbs, to the point I’ve now made a business out of it. The only thing I don’t seem to be able to nurture, is love. It wasn’t always this way. Back in high school I’d had my pick of the boys, although there’d only ever been one for me, Jason Adams. Sadly he chose the army over us, something I’ve never forgiven him for. On bumping into him again after all these years, the wounds are as fresh as day.

JASON

I’ve been trained to hurt, but those days are over for me. Budget cuts have me leaving the army sooner than I'd have liked, sooner than I'd have thought possible. Growing up an army brat, it was a given I’d enlist, and yet my baby brother beat me to it. Okay, so baby is a misnomer with Seth only the baby by half-an-hour and half-an-inch. It didn’t matter that I was in love at the time; it had been my duty to protect him. I guess we all make mistakes, right?

She needs a lucky break if she’s making ends meet. He’s stuck running one of the family’s smaller hotel casinos. Could pretending to be engaged be a gamble that pays off for both of them?

DONNA

Fleeing San Francisco for Coogan’s Break was so much easier than dealing with things that went bump in the middle of the night. Usually Bryan—my ex—drunk and attempting to break in.

Three months later and I’m in a dead-end job for a guy who pays below minimum wage, and who thinks state taxes are optional. I’m also short on my latest rent payment.

Entering the casino at Maddigan’s Resort and Spa, I'm hoping for a small payout. But could the gorgeous Liam Maddigan prove himself my ultimate jackpot?

LIAM

I know why I’m stuck in Coogan’s Break. It’s because dad wants me to abandon the playboy lifestyle and settle down. He might have mentioned grandchildren.

I’ve been here two months already, and it’s killing me. The thought of spending the summer in small town California has me cursing his name until I spot her.

The way Donna Wilder has herself perched on that bar stool does it for me. Could it be life is about to get interesting AND I can keep the old man off my back?

She’s a librarian who loves steamy romances. He’s a surfer who likes it wet and wild. Will these two finally get it on when their long-held desires bubble to the surface?

CHLOE

I’m a bookworm, which sees me working at the local library to feed my addiction. Little did I know my life as a librarian was about to be interrupted by something hotter than any of the steamy novels to hand.

But it’s true. Blake Mitchell, my dream guy, is back in town and apparently determined to give me my own wet and wild chapter.

BLAKE

I’ve always loved my life on the road, of chasing the surf, and being free. Of late, though, I’ve been longing for something more permanent, a home of my own.

But they say home is where the heart is, and there’s only one heart I’m interested in. But, thanks to my ‘here today, gone tomorrow’ reputation, my chances of attracting Chloe Henderson’s affections are zero.

And then she shows me the error of my ways, as well as her gorgeous curves, and all is right with my world.

TRIGGER WARNING: In Surf Break, Chloe is bullied. However, with Blake's love she overcomes this, coming out on top in more ways than one. There is definitely an HEA as regards this, as no one should be bullied, ever. As one reviewer put it: "Just love a story where the girl not only gets her happily ever after, but her self worth too. Bravo Ms. Malone - 5-STARS"

She’s hiding out at the crumbling mansion she’s inherited from her great aunt. After taking the fall for a crime he didn't commit, he’s decided the view from a prison cell isn’t to his liking. Will this pair escape together?

LINDSEY

The reviews of my last novel went from blah to downright vicious. Brutal enough that I’m holed up at Eagle’s Nest to lick my wounds and make sure my next book has the critics choking on their words.

It doesn’t take long to realize the place is a dump. Fortunately, the spectacular views help soften this blow. Best of all is the view of Ethan Hunter making use of the outdoor bathtub.

The guy has bad-boy written all over him, mainly in ink. He’s not the sort I’d usually go for, and yet here I am salivating over his naked form. He does it for me in a big way, and I wish he would.

ETHAN

Coogan’s Break, the scene of many a youthful escapade, and some downright stupid crap I should never have got involved in. It’s those indiscretions that have me back in town, after a good long time away.

I’ve got one shot to clear my name if only for the sake of my grandfather, and that means playing with fire. Little could I know I was about to get burnt in the best way possible.

When Lindsey Abbott storms out of the bushes and grabs my clothes, I’m glad the water is cold enough to quell my response. I don’t need this—make that her—in my life right now.

She’s a lawyer who is questioning the toll her career is taking. He’s already faced the consequences of an all-consuming profession. Will these two learn that love beats work any day?

ANGIE

I’m being eaten alive by a career that’s consumed me for years, when I suddenly find myself on administrative leave. Unless I rediscover my killer instincts in the courtroom, I’m out of there.

When asked to house-sit by a fellow lawyer, I don’t give it a second’s thought. So what if I don’t have a clue where Coogan’s Break is? Anything is better than staring at the walls of my apartment.

On my second visit to Dynamic Five Dance, any thoughts of my job back in the city flee. The last time I saw Drew Morton-Huxley was at his final performance with Manhattan Modern Dance.

His dancing was the hottest thing I’d ever seen, leaving me squirming in my seat. The way he’s looking at me now and I wonder if I’m about to discover if he’s as good in the flesh as he had been on stage.

DREW

It has taken years, but I’ve finally accepted my life as a dancer is over. If I was a racehorse, they would have shot me that night.

I haven’t left that world behind completely, deciding that if I can no longer dance, I should pay my dues by helping those who still can, or at least want to.

While my dance school pays the bills, it doesn’t light my fire as performing used to. All that changes the second I spot Angela Bennington out in reception.

Womanly curves coupled with a body that moves like silk and I’m burning to dance with her. I’ll need to move fast though, if I’m to beat Juan Alcaraz, my teacher of Latin American, to it.

She’s a doggy daycare owner who’s being run ragged by her charges. He’s a personal trainer who loves a challenge. It’s anyone’s guess who’ll be the first to lie down and roll over when they get together.

BETTANY

I can’t ignore the ache in my knees any longer. Then my Doctor says ‘absolutely not’ to my request for cortisone injections. Nope, she’s got something far more painful in mind.

I know she’s right with her advice, but this won’t make it any easier to swallow. I’m complaining bitterly right up until the point I see who’ll be administering her particular brand of medicine.

Dax Nichols is a polar opposite of me. Even Stella, his Staffordshire Bull Terrier, carries more muscle than I do. Does this mean he’ll go easy on me? According to him, that’d be a big fat NO.

We haven’t even started our first training session when my heart rate is already through the roof. That man without a shirt on is enough to burn calories all on its own. I hope he knows mouth-to-mouth.

DAX

When my big sister says she’s recommended me as a personal trainer, I’m annoyed. I’ve got enough on my plate getting my latest fitness app over the line. That’s when I see my new client.

I live in a world where muscle is king. Meanwhile, Bettany Brooks is curvy and all the more gorgeous for it. What was my sister thinking? I wouldn’t change a thing about this woman; she’s perfect as she is.

But, on hearing the challenges of her day and seeing her grimace in pain as we walk along the boardwalk at Coogan’s, I know I can help. And all without sacrificing that stunning figure of hers.

I’ve got a month to prove she won’t end up looking like Schwarzenegger, and that I’m the right man for her. With pup Stella at my side, how can I fail?

She’s a plus-size model who’s in danger of having her career and life derailed. He’s in the business of making sure people play nice, whether they want to, or not.

PHOEBE

I should be out celebrating making the cover of Sports Fan Magazine, and in a bikini, no less. Instead, I’m hiding out in my hotel room, jumping at the slightest sound.

It hasn’t always been this way, but with fame, came the crazies. Men who think I’m destined to be theirs, even if this would see us living in their mom's basement.

Wyatt Cassidy, Head of Security at Maddigan’s, is anything but crazy. He’s tough, he’s hot, and he’s confident, especially about his ability to keep me safe. But for him to do that, I’ll have to leave my room.

The questions I’m facing now are, do I trust him enough to follow him through that steel door at the back of the hotel’s underground car park? And do I trust myself to keep my hands off him?

WYATT

When my boss at Maddigan’s Resort and Spa says he has a special assignment for me, he isn’t kidding. However, she’s more than special. She’s perfect. Perfect for me, that is.

Before meeting Phoebe Jackson, I think she’s just out for attention when she says she’s in danger. That’s until I see the guy skulking outside her room, the one who takes off when he spots me.

I’ve been Head of Security at the hotel for too long to ignore the warning signs, and on showing Phoebe a screen-grab from the security camera, she confirms my suspicions. Apparently, the guy’s backed her into a corner more than once, and he frightens her.

Experience also tells me I can’t keep her safe in a hotel the size of Maddigan’s. For that, we have to disappear. And if this sees us in self-imposed lock-down until he’s stopped, I’m sure I can think of one or two things to keep us occupied.

She loves everything about Christmas. He’s more bah humbug about the season. Will sparks fly when the elf in charge of illuminations and the electrician connect?

NATASHA

I love Christmas in California. I love the fake snow, the eggnog, the music, but I especially love the lights. The more the merrier being my mantra with illuminations. This year I might have gone a teensy bit overboard. I think it was life-sized reindeer that pushed me over the edge.

Lucian Davis sure as heck isn’t happy about my design choice, mind you, he’s never happy. Nope, he’s grumpy with a capital G. It’s a good thing he’s also G for gorgeous. However, on stepping in to help me with my reindeer issue, he’s way beyond grumpy, he’s furious.

LUCIAN

I don’t get the appeal. To me, Christmas is just another day, one where I’ll get more call-outs than usual. What is it about folks overloading their electrical panels at this time of year? One house last year had enough lights that it would have been visible from space, if not for them blowing all the fuses.

On seeing Natasha Frank skating around on the roof of the Coogan's Break Welcome Center, I come close to blowing a fuse of my own. This is thanks to her elf costume highlighting all her good bits—and trust me, I’d know—and her about to hurt herself if I don’t step in.

She spends her days designing and making jewelry. He also makes things, although he’s happier with wood. Are they destined to build a life together, or will his past get in their way?

MACIE

I’ve always loved sparkly things, being a bit of a magpie when I was a kid. Hours spent combing the sand, looking for beach glass, each discovery more exciting than the last. If I was as lucky at finding love as I am, the opaque beauties that litter the beach after a storm, my life would be perfect.

Then life hits me with my very own storm. The first time I see Brad McKenna he’s out cold and naked thanks to my backhanding him with a tennis racket. What can I say? I thought he was a burglar. I also think he’s as hard and gorgeous as any beach glass I’ve collected.

BRAD

By heading west, I had hoped to leave my old life behind, and I would have but for an appalling twist of fate. Having done my time, I should have been free to get on with my life, but my old crew has other ideas. Ideas that will leave me in danger of going back inside, something I want to avoid at all costs.

The one thing in my new life that I don’t want to avoid is Macie Hart, having fallen for her even before she introduced me to her vintage Slazenger. There’s something about her that has me thinking I can be a better man, an honest one, one able to leave his past behind for good.
