Teddy: If there''s one thing I don''t do, it''s commitment. You don''t become an award-winning photographer by staying in one place. I''m always on the road, looking for the next shot, the next award, the next hot body. Which is how I end up on Dr. James Marian''s front porch in the middle-of-nowhere Alaska. He''s known as the Wildlife Whisperer, and I want to photograph him in action. He''s reluctant at first, but I can be persuasive. Soon enough I have him in bed saying yes over and over and over again, but my ability to shoot and scoot is frozen by a Denali snowstorm.Jamie: I always thought of myself as the marrying type. Until I got left at the altar. Now I have a new motto: never commit and never fall in love. So when a cocky nature photographer decides I''m the key to his next masterpiece, it seems like the perfect arrangement: the hotshot''s only in town for a brief assignment and then he''ll be gone. No commitment, no strings, and no chance of getting my heart broken again.There''s just one problem: I think I''m falling in love. Now I''m afraid that maybe I''m the marrying type after all. And he definitely is not.While it can also be read on its own, Taming Teddy is the second in the new Made Marian series. Each book tells the story of one of the Marian brothers'' search for true love. The first in the series, Borrowing Blue, is available now.

The man asked me to valet his damn car.Look, I left LA for a reason. I've had my fill of big Hollywood stars and their even bigger egos. I want something genuine. Something real. And it doesn't get any realer than being the new sheriff of Aster Valley, Colorado.That is, until entitled Finn Heller appears on the scene, handing me the keys to his convertible like I'm his personal servant. The former child star and wannabe action hero is the hottest thing I've ever seen. He's also a snarky party animal with legions of adoring fans and attitude for days.Or so I thought. The longer the film crew stays in town, the more I begin to wonder if Finn is hiding his true self, one that's as beautiful inside as out. He's a star alright, but the kind that shines bright enough to light up the night sky... the kind I want to make a wish on. A wish Finn will find a way to make things work with me, even if it means his next role is my very own leading man.

Julian:I've been in love with my best friend since forever. Okay, fine. Like, kindergarten. It started out platonic, obviously, but then became... nope. Still platonic. The problem is that Parker Ellis has been straight since forever. And that makes it difficult to convince him the two of us are meant to be together.And now there's no point. All is lost. He's gone and gotten engaged to his high-school sweetheart which means I have to grin and bear it while pretending to be the happy, supportive best man while he prepares to commit his life to a woman I can't even fault. She's great. We've all been friends forever. I know he'll be happy with Erin, just not... just not as happy as he could be with me.Parker:I'll admit. Sometimes I press the easy button. Like when Julian Thick had offered me half his sandwich back in grade school after noticing I didn't have any food. Or when I'd needed a date to homecoming in tenth grade and Erin told me she was it. Or when I'd used the one thing that came easy to me, skiing, to get my college tuition paid for. Or when Erin had showed back up in my life six months ago and told it was time to marry and start a family...But for the first time in my life I'm facing something that's not at all easy. It's my wedding weekend and I've just been left at the altar. Not only that, but when my best friend whisks me away to drown my sorrows in a snowy cabin in Aster Valley, I accidentally discover Julian's been keeping secrets. Big secrets.The kind of secrets that lead to hot experimental kisses in front of a blazing fire, tentative physical exploration in a way I'd never imagined before, and the kind of intimate, true confessions I'd never even dreamed of between me and the one person who's always been my true home.But after twenty-plus years of thinking of Jules as my friend without benefits, is it truly possible to change who we are to each other? There's no easy button this time, but I'm willing to do the work. I only wonder if Julian is ready to trust I really mean it.

Falcon: Three years ago I arrived at the scene of an art heist to find Kingston Wilde tied to a radiator, claiming to be an innocent bystander in the wrong place at the wrong time. It was only later I learned he was actually the elusive art thief I'd been tracking for years. And I was the one who'd let him sweet-talk his way out of my grasp. Ever since, I've made it my mission to get my hands on him again, and this time I don't plan on letting go.Unfortunately, fate has other plans. A priceless artifact has gone missing, and King is the only one who can help recover it. I thought nothing could be worse than being forced to work with the egotistical SOB, but I was wrong. Falling for the charming art thief in the middle of an operation is way, way worse. King: The key to being a good art thief is knowing when to call it quits. After one close call too many, I decide that time is now and head home to Hobie, Texas, intending to hang up my lock picks for good. Unfortunately, the FBI has other plans. Agent Dirk Falcon approaches me with an offer I can't refuse: full immunity for my past crimes in exchange for helping him with one last job.The catch? The job involves stealing from the very man who taught me everything I know. The same man who double-crossed me years ago. Pulling this off means trusting Falcon and his team, but how do I trust the sexy agent when he's staked his career on taking me down?King Me is the seventh book in the Forever Wilde series but you do not have to have read any of the others to enjoy it.

I didn't mean to stow away on the yacht, I swear. My first mistake was going home with the jerk at the bar, but in my defense, Prescott said he owned the Worthington-ninety feet of sleek, yachty perfection-and if I could get the chief mate's job, I'd have an excuse to stay on board and keep avoiding my family and my future. How was I supposed to know he was the owner's cheating, gold-digging almost brother-in-law, or that I'd end up stuffed in a closet when the ship left the harbor?When the real owner finds me and offers me a different job-being his fake boyfriend on a cruise through the British Virgin Islands to tempt Prescott to reveal his cheating ways-that's when I make my second mistake: I agree.Turns out, Jonathan Worthington isn't just a billionaire, he's funny and generous and a little bit of a control freak. He's also six feet of sleek, gorgeous silver fox perfection, and suddenly, it's not just his yacht I'm lusting over.Worth thinks I'm way too young and flighty for anything more serious than spending the week in his bed... but if you believe we won't fall in love before the cruise is over, I have a yacht in the Caribbean to sell you.

Tiller:As the first openly gay professional football player, I can''t afford to make any mistakes, on or off the field. And the absolute biggest mistake I could make right now would be to fall for Mikey Vining, my best friend, employee and, more importantly, Coach''s baby boy. I might fantasize about Mikey at night--every night-but actually touching him would be a serious personal foul. And falling for him? That''s completely out of bounds.Mikey:I''ve learned my lesson about falling for one of my dad''s players. They''re a bunch of spoiled jocks with more muscles than brains. I''ve spent years learning to keep my eyes, and my hands, to myself. But resisting the temptation becomes nearly impossible when Tiller Raine and I end up together in a small cabin in a remote Colorado town. Suddenly, there''s not much to do but look at each other. And talk. And hopefully, hopefully touch.But what happens when our stay in Aster Valley is over and it''s time to return to the real world? Will Coach blow the whistle on our relationship? Or will Tiller admit there might actually be something he loves more than football after all?

Griff: I learned early on that the easiest way to avoid a broken heart is to always be the first out the door. Caring about anyone or anything is asking to be disappointed, which is why I avoid relationships and chase freelance gigs - ghost writing restaurant reviews and penning articles about the efficacy of cheesy pick up lines - instead of chasing my dreams.Besides, dreams don''t come true for people like me.

Because I''m never risking my heart again.Sam: As a bartender I''ve watched a million pick-up artists work their magic, but none as talented as Griffin Marian. He''s a flirt, a good time.

I have my own future to worry about, especially after that stupid food critic scuttled my hopes of finally opening my own restaurant.But, the more time I spend with Griff, the more I''m beginning to realize that my plans mean nothing without him. If only I can convince him to give us a chance to follow our dreams together.Fair warning: this book includes flirty sweetness, detailed descriptions of man parts touching, and the dirtiest thing to come out of Aunt Tilly''s mouth yet.Grounding Griffin is the fourth book in the best-selling Made Marian series. It can be read on its own but is much more fun read as part of the series. The series begins with Borrowing Blue and each book follows a Marian brother''s search for his HEA.
