Laura was ready for her first teaching job...or at least she thought she was. She graduated top of her class and had finally ditched her filthy rich, mean-spirited high school sweetheart Jonathan. She made a bargain with him -- if they didn't meet anyone before they turned thirty, they would marry each other. Laura knew it was over, but did Jonathan? Laura was excited to fulfill her dream of becoming a teacher. Everything fell away when she met Nick Bloomgren, the principal of Whispering Pines Elementary. Their eyes locked and intuitively knew they could not live without exploring their connection intimately. How could Laura resist Nick's charms? He was the perfect All-American man: blonde hair, blue eyes, and a muscular build. They both needed to lose their bad relationships so that they could move forward together. But were they willing to risk their jobs to consummate their love?

After college, Kai had landed her dream job as an interior designer in Manhattan. But while everything was going great with her career, her love life was a mess. She had stopped dating completely after her college boyfriend cheated on her and just hadn't felt ready to put herself out there again. Then Adrian Moretz walked into the design studio and everything changed. Adrian and Kai felt an immediate attraction. Adrian was and older, wealthy real estate mogul who had recently broken up with a model. He needed someone to design his dream estate and had chosen the studio where Kai worked. Kai was caught off guard by his distinguished looks and his kindness to her. When he took her far away to his estate to get a feel for the work it needed, something special happened between them that forever changed their lives. Could they make a relationship work? Or would a secret from Adrian's past destroy any hope of a future together?
