Emme, Sophie, Ethan, and Carter are seniors at a performing arts school, getting ready for their Senior Showcase recital, where the pressure is on to appeal to colleges, dance academies, and professionals in show business. For Sophie, a singer, it's been great to be friends with Emme, who composes songs for her, and to date Carter, soap opera heartthrob who gets plenty of press coverage. Emme and Ethan have been in a band together through all four years of school, but wonder if they could be more than just friends and bandmates. Carter has been acting since he was a baby, and isn't sure how to admit that he'd rather paint than perform.

Christmas is a time for remembering.

But Sophia has paid the price for her youthful transgressions. The man she did marry was rich and powerful but abusive. So when he goes missing, she secretly hopes he'll never come back—until she learns that he died running from an FBI probe of his investment firm. Not only has he left Sophia penniless, he's left her to face all the townspeople he cheated.
Sophia is reduced to looking for any kind of work to pay the bills and support her daughter. With no other options, she becomes housekeeper for none other than Ted, now a successful suspense writer. He can't bring himself to turn his back on her, not at Christmas, but he refuses to get emotionally involved. He learned his lesson the last time.
Or will the season of love and forgiveness give them both another chance at happiness?

She goes looking for her biological father, but never expects to find a senator running for president. As his long-lost 'love child,' Dani could seriously derail the election- something his handsome campaign manager Alex Canfield isn't going to let happen. Dani isn't about to let Alex run her life, no matter how tempting she finds him-and Alex isn't going to allow Dani to melt his cynicism, no matter how close he has to get. The last thing either of them wants is love, especially with scandals brewing and family trouble on the way. But Dani and Alex are forced to trust each other, and when trust turns to passion, the potential for disaster is only a tabloid scandal away.
When tragedy strikes, Zoe Anderson finds herself in the one role she never expected to have: mother. Sharing guardianship of four-year-old twins with sexy Rafe Kirkland is a responsibility she simply cannot accept. Rafe is just going to have to take care of the boys himself.
Rafe’s not prepared to be a single parent either, but deserting the children is not an option-and he’s never been as attracted to a woman as he is to their godmother. He proposes a solution: Zoe and the boys will move in with him, at least until other arrangements can be made. Or until he can convince her to make their temporary family permanent.
Zoe reluctantly agrees to the plan, but even after she loses her heart to the twins, she can’t possibly take that emotional risk with Rafe…
Cuando Dani Buchanan decidió encontrar a su padre biológico, no esperaba descubrir que éste fuera un senador que optaba a la presidencia del país. Dani podía poner en serio peligro la elección del senador, algo que su atractivo hijo adoptivo y director de campaña, Alex Canfield, no permitiría que ocurriera. Ella tampoco iba a dejar que Alex dirigiera su vida, por tentador que le encontrara.
Ninguno de los dos quería enamorarse, sobre todo teniendo en cuenta el escándalo y los problemas que eso supondría para la familia Canfield, pero finalmente se vieron obligados a confiar el uno en el otro y, en cuanto la confianza se convirtió en pasión, el escándalo estuvo servido.
Tenía todo lo que una mujer podía desear. Mi marido, James. La casa junto al lago. Mi vida. Nuestra perfecta vida. Hasta que Alex vino a visitarnos.
La primera vez que vi al mejor amigo de mi marido, no me gustó. No me gustaba cómo se comportaba James cuando estaba con él, no me gustaba que me siguiera a todas partes con sus penetrantes ojos grises. Pero eso tampoco me impedía desearlo. Y lo más sorprendente era que a James no parecía importarle.
Se suponía que tenía que ser divertido. Un romance compartido por los tres para las cálidas semanas de verano que Alex pasaría con nosotros. Se suponía que nadie tenía que enamorarse o desenamorarse. Yo no necesitaba otro hombre, aunque aquél en concreto destilara sexo por los cuatro costados y conociera todos los secretos que yo desconocía, unos secretos que mi marido no había compartido conmigo. Al fin y al cabo, teníamos una vida perfecta.

My name is Twyla Tafel and I-ve uncovered an insane plot to unleash berserk vampires on those unsuspecting revelers. I have to stop it, armed only with my great admin skills, my useless art degree-and Nikos, a severely hot vampire who I-d love to photograph as a Spartan king roaring his muscular challenge at the Persians.
