Matt

I have no interest in love after witnessing my parents' destructive relationship. Then Holly walks into my life and everything changes in an instant. Her gentle smile, blue eyes, and sunny personality light up the dark corners of my world. I may fight fires for a living, but there’s no dousing the fire she's ignited in my heart and soul. She's my one--the woman I want to marry and make a future with.

But then tragedy strikes when Holly’s building catches fire with her inside, threatening to turn our dreams to ashes. Despite rescuing her, the fire continues to haunt her every time she looks in the mirror. Holly's light has dimmed, but I have light enough for us both and I won't rest until I've proven to her that our love is a fire that can never be extinguished.

Nio

Fostering the orphaned baby girl I rescued from a burning building isn’t part of my plan, but one look at Gracie’s adorable face and there's no way I can leave her to the mercy of the care system. I know what it's like to be alone, how it feels to lose a loved one, and I won't turn my back on her. But taking care of a six-month-old baby is tough, and it’s not long before I’m in over my head. I need help. Fast.

The new nanny I hire is supposed to ease my mind, not make me daydream about happy families. But Romy is my perfect woman, and her loving nature and pure heart set my soul on fire. I want to erase the sadness I see in her eyes, to have her to stay with us forever--not as the nanny, but as Lola's mommy and my wife.

Romy

Nio's job offer as live-in nanny for his baby daughter is a gift from heaven. The only problem is, Gracie's daddy is a whole lot of heavenly, too. The handsome firefighter makes me feel valued and safe and cared for, but I need to keep things professional. Falling in love with Nio would be all too easy but if he ever discovers my secret, any dreams I have of the three of us becoming a real family will be shattered, along with my heart.

Slater

I've returned to my hometown after six years - and to Nora, the woman I left behind. I'm sure she hates me for the way I left - no note, no goodbye - there one day and gone the next. But she doesn't know the truth of why I left, why I had no choice but to leave her behind. The scars of my past run deep, but maybe now I can prove I'm worthy of the love of a woman as sweet and pure as Nora.

Nora

I've never recovered from losing Slater. I've tried to forget him, to move on with my life and forget the deep connection we shared. But years later, he's returned to our hometown, stirring up emotions I've tried so hard to bury. Will Slater's past continue to keep us apart? Or can we finally move forward together into a bright future?

Rick

Nothing prepared me for the sight of her in the flesh. She took my breath away from the moment I saw her and her natural beauty and warmth pulled me to her like a magnet. I keep telling myself that I have to remain professional, that she's off-limits, but the truth is, I need to be near her, even though I can never have her. I've got a job to do but it's hard to resist her emerald eyes, killer smile, and delectable curves. I can't afford to be distracted, to lose focus, because if I do, it could put us both in grave danger.

Andrea

I was attracted to him the second he walked through the door of the diner where I work. His tall, lean body and piercing eyes have awakened desires I thought were long dead, and I'm curious about what lies beneath his mysterious veneer. His intense gaze conveys all kinds of promises, making my lonely soul yearn for his love. But when I discover the real reason he's here, my trust is shattered, and I know he's the one man I can never give my heart to.

Jesse

I don't have a great track record when it comes to women and relationships since my bitter break-up with my fiancée. I can't risk having my heart broken again so love is not on my agenda. But everything changes when a beautiful siren falls into my arms at a costume party, setting my blood on fire and igniting my dormant heart. One taste of her sweet lips will never be enough and nothing less than a lifetime with her in my arms will do.

Melody

There's no denying the attraction simmering between Jesse and I, and the temptation to give in is overwhelming. But I have secrets, things that could break me all over again if I let him get too close. Am I brave enough to take a chance on him? A chance that he might fulfil every desire I’ve ever had? I want to escape my past so I can move on with my future. But will that future include Jesse once he knows the truth?

Talia

Discovering my whole life is built on lies sends me on a quest to find my birth parents, and almost lands me in jail. Luckily for me, Detective Jackson Lamont swoops in and saves me from an uncomfortable night in a cell. And it just so happens, Jackson is the skinny senior I tutored in high school, only now he's six-feet-five of mouth-watering man. It's all too easy to lose myself in his warm gaze and strong embrace, and forget about my messed up life. But as our attraction grows, my search for answers takes a deadly turn, and the only man who can save from a deluded monster is a monster himself--my father.

Jackson

In the five years since I've seen Talia, she's blossomed into most beautiful woman I’ve ever laid eyes on. She pulls me effortlessly into her orbit and unleashes protective instincts I never knew I had. When I discover that Talia is caught up in the case I'm working on, I vow to do anything to protect the woman who's stolen my heart and keep her safe.
