Billionaire CEO Lucas Taylor has everything a man could possibly want, except the one thing he never had as a child in foster care—a family. He’s trying to adopt a baby, but it’s a difficult process as a single man.

So when his administrative assistant, Allie Dickenson, asks him for a sizeable loan to keep her father in a care facility, Lucas makes a counter offer: a platonic marriage between them. Give him two years as his wife to get through the adoption process, and he will fund her father’s care for as long as he lives.

Allie reluctantly agrees despite her unspoken feelings for him. With time, she falls ever deeper in love. But will Lucas ever open his heart to her and all a family can offer?

Tomás Herrera experienced one tragedy after another in his life. First he lost his parents and landed in foster care. Then his marriage to his childhood sweetheart, Becca, ended when she miscarried. His second wife kidnapped their toddler daughter, Lea. His daughter was four when he learned his second wife had died, and he could finally bring Lea home.

Now Tomás runs a program that teaches life and job skills to aged-out foster youth. His daughter is so traumatized, it’s been hard getting her to open up. Then, to his surprise, Becca unexpectedly applies for a teaching job with his program.

He wants to send her packing, but Lea instantly bonds to Becca. Reluctantly, Tomás gives Becca the job for his daughter’s sake, but soon discovers his feelings for her never died. Can his heart take another chance at love?

Sure, everyone knows my name now. I’m Sam Harrison, mega-bestselling thriller author, six blockbuster movie adaptations and counting. But I came from less than nothing, spent years in foster care.

All those years I dreamed of Christmases filled with love and family—the whole house trimmed with lights and tinsel, a gorgeous decorated tree, presents piled high around it.

And someone to share the holiday with. Someone like Jana. My best friend who now needs my help and shelter from the storm. She’s pregnant and baby daddy ghosted her, so of course I took her in. But now I’m starting to wonder if all my Christmases will only be bright if I’m sharing them with Jana.

After a childhood in foster care, Darius Jones thought he’d hit the lottery when he married his sweet, beautiful wife. When she was killed, his world came crashing down. Now he hides in his isolated wilderness home where he runs a successful business. Some days he’s agonized by grief and thoughts that he somehow might have prevented his wife’s murder.

Five years later, Darius rescues a woman about to drown in a storm-swollen creek on his land. When he asks her name, she remembers nothing about herself or her life. The only clue is her ankle bracelet with the name Mia.

As the anniversary of his wife’s death approaches, Darius’s anguish intensifies when he realizes he’s attracted to Mia. Fighting his feelings, he wants nothing more than to find out where she belongs and send her on her way.

But as Mia starts to heal from her ordeal, she remembers the darkness that sent her running. Can a life with Darius light her way and give them a future together?
