 Welcome to Bliss, Illinois, the Matrimonial Capitol of the Midwest!
Winning the Husband of the Year crown is serious business for the married couples competing in Bliss’s Husband Games, the unique annual competition of husbandly skill, matrimonial smarts, and romantic prowess. But not every couple can be a winner. Someone has to lose, and sometimes the losers end up alone.
Natalie Castellano counts among those who suffered the greatest defeat. Now, she has inherited planning the festivities for the 50th Anniversary of the Games. Still bruised from her disastrous appearance, she steps up to the plate only to honor her mother’s memory, despite having to make nice with CJ Blue, the man who has haunted her darkest memories of the Games.
Winning the Husband Games was the brightest spot in CJ’s short and heartbreaking marriage. After escaping the pain of loss on a world adventure tour, CJ’s back in Bliss, where he’s been invited to participate in the Games once again in the name of closure. And he can’t decide what bothers him more—that Natalie doesn’t think he belongs in the Games, or that she’s right.
Natalie has no interest in falling for the man who derailed her own marriage, but proximity is a funny thing: the closer they get to the Games, the harder they fall. She’s battled Bliss’s bridal brigade, and he’s jumped out of airplanes and soared over waterfalls, but now they’re both facing the biggest risk of all: taking another chance on love.
Let the Games begin!

 A Spy without a Country
Simon Weston grew up royal in a place where aristocracy still mattered. Serving Queen and country meant everything to him, until MI6 marked him as damaged goods and he left his home in disgrace. Ian Taggart showed him a better way to serve his fellow man and introduced him to Sanctum, a place to pursue his passion for Dominance and submission. Topping beautiful subs was a lovely distraction until he met Chelsea, and becoming her Master turned into Simon’s most important mission.
A Woman without Hope
Chelsea Dennis grew up a pawn to the Russian mob. Her father’s violent lessons taught her that monsters lurked inside every man and they should never be trusted.

Their only chance to survive lies in a mystery even Chelsea has been unable to solve.

 Professional rodeo team roper, Katie Upton, is tired of being called the “Mild Child” in relation to her less inhibited twin sister. She’s spent a lifetime cleaning up her sister’s messes, the last of which landed her working for the handsome, but standoffish, owner of the Rockin’ D ranch in Amarillo.
Katie whips the ranch and ranch hands into shape in no time, and tries to help Tommy corral his spoiled little princess of a daughter, Dixie, too. Stubborn little Dixie doesn’t like that much and tells her daddy that Katie is boring, and that she wants Katie’s twin sister back at the ranch, because she’s fun. Katie realizes Dixie feels that way, because the little hellion is just like her sister!
When Tommy talks to Katie about Dixie, he basically tells her he thinks she’s boring too. Katie is tired of living in her vibrant twin’s shadow, so she leaves the ranch determined to redefine herself according to her twin sister’s rules, and find out what all the hoopla is about being uninhibited.
One she-devil tattoo, a new blond hairdo, and a hot red motorcycle later, Katie sees what it’s all about, and feels freedom like she’s never known before. Unfortunately, that freedom leads her back to Tommy Tucker, and a hot night of truck sex, which lands her in a lot of trouble–the kind of trouble that makes her want to want to find more of it with the oh so sexy widowed rancher. Katie thinks he needs to loosen up and live his life again, and she is determined to show him how to do that…with her.
At only twenty-four years old, Tommy Tucker had been forced to make a decision that no husband or expectant father should ever have to make, to either save his wife, or his daughter, after a horrific truck accident. He chose his daughter, because that’s what he felt his wife would have wanted him to do, but his mother-in-law felt differently, and blamed him for her death. The woman hadn’t spoken to him in ten years, and refused to have anything to do with her granddaughter, either. But his former mother-in-law couldn’t blame Tommy any more than he blamed himself. Every day, he had to live with the incredible guilt, as he did the best he could to raise his daughter alone, and make his quarter horse ranch successful.
Although it was dull, his life had settled into comfortable territory, until a set of beautiful redheaded twins show up at the ranch. Even thought they’re identical twins, he finds out the two women were as different as night and day. One is a hellion who courts trouble at every turn, and the other is a sensible, responsible woman who tries to keep her sister out of trouble, someone he thought would be perfect for him.
No matter how much he wants Katie Upton though, Tommy can’t get involved with her. For ten years, he’d avoided relationships, so he didn’t cause his mother-in-law more grief, or have to explain to his daughter that he’d killed her mother. He’d hired her to work at his ranch, but where she was concerned, it was hands off.
After Katie hears some misspoken words between him and his daughter, she runs from him and the Rockin’ D, hurt and angry at him. Feeling guilty, Tommy tracks her down to apologize. Instead of the nice, sweet woman who’d left the ranch a week prior, he finds someone he doesn’t even recognize, a hellion twice as bad as her sister, riding a damned motorcycle.
When the hot blond sets out to seduce him in his pickup, Tommy is powerless to resist her. He quickly finds out that sweet Katie Upton isn’t so sweet after all, she’s hotter than habaneras in July, and she is determined to give him an education, one in which he wants to earn a masters degree.
Before he can explore the possibilities with her however, Tommy has to fend off his wealthy and connected mother-in-law, who is somehow getting information on the goings on at his ranch. The woman is determined he isn’t going replace her daughter in his life, or he is going to pay the price, by losing his own daughter.
