In Her Wildest Dreams

It’s no mystery why veterinarian Callie Webber is having a hard time getting into the holiday spirit. When the residents of her small hometown aren’t pitying her because of her ex-husband’s very public departure, they’re attempting to hook her up with a man…any man. Fed up with being everyone’s favorite charity case, Callie considers closing her animal clinic and moving to the big city. But, before she goes, she decides to give herself a Christmas treat to remember: a romantic holiday fling. And who better to have a fling with than the gorgeous newcomer who is turning heads around Maplesville?

When injured Navy pilot Stefan Sutherland reluctantly rescues a gutter cat for the sake of his five-year-old nephew, he never imagined it would lead to him discovering Maplesville’s most fascinating attraction…its smoking hot vet. Getting involved with a woman was the last thing Stefan anticipated when he agreed to care for his nephew during his Army nurse sister’s deployment, but if he’s going to spend the holidays in this sleepy Southern town, why not make the most of it with the perfect holiday fling.
 

Guy Rule #1: Never date a woman on the rebound...
 

Leave that to Dexter Bryant. The self-declared relationship advisor specializes in “counseling” women who have just ended long-term relationships. He wines them. He dines them. He treats them like queens, all with the purpose of rebuilding their self-confidence. Most importantly, he excels in the fine art of making ex-boyfriends jealous. But Dexter is trying to shake off the stud-for-hire persona in hopes of turning his service into a legitimate consulting business.

However, a stud-for-hire is exactly what Asia Carpenter is looking for. The career-minded PR Crisis Manager is completely blindsided when her ideal man dumps her for another woman, leaving her with a broken heart...and the bill for her engagement ring. Humiliated and dreading the looks of pity from her friends and co-workers, Asia hires Dexter as her pretend love interest, to show her ex-fiancé that she can land a sexy man—and keep him. What Asia doesn’t anticipate is how quickly their pretend love turns into the real thing.

As a result of her parents' messy divorce Keysa Donovan refuses to celebrate Christmas or to let herself fall in love. A successful marketing exec she's positive she doesn't need anyone else in her life to be happy. Until Ian Sanchez, her sexy co-worker, catches her off guard with homemade cocoa, old holiday movies and kisses that promise the heat of pleasure. Now, Keysa's second guessing everything she thought she beleived and wondering if Ian's touch is worth risking her heart this holiday season.

A dangerous Donovan.

Benjamin Donovan is one of Las Vegas' top defense attorneys, his dynamic and debonair personality winning kudos in the courtroom, while breaking hearts in the process. But Ben draws the line at going against his ethics, except when those ethics lead a line of murder right to his door.

And the woman that steals his heart.

She'd been rejecting him for as long as she'd known him and years later, prosecutor Victoria Lashley is still giving Ben a run for his money. Only this time Victoria has no choice but to team up with Ben as her job is on the line and the killer she's prosecuting has set his sights on her.

Will she lose the biggest case of her career, along with her life? Not if a Donovan has anything to do with it.
