Flawed

Destiny is what happens when dreams collide with reality. I've made a name for myself as a world famous lingerie model. I'm rich and powerful now. Not too bad for a girl from small town Texas. All I really wanted was to become so beautiful that Luke, my teenage crush, would fall at my feet. But thirteen years is a long time. Long enough for this little girl to grow up and glue back together the pieces that were chipped away as a child. Plenty of time for me to figure out that love isn't made of fairy tales and high school crushes who didn't even know I existed. Maybe it's even long enough for me to realize what's staring at me through my best friend's eyes - even as I try to say we're just business partners. Then Gran dies. Now I have to go back to that same small town that destroyed me. I keep telling myself I've got this - right up until Luke shows up in my life again. This time, he's noticed me, but he comes with a troubled daughter that reminds me a little too much of myself. Then there's the new guy I just hired. He's the best person for the job, even if he is my best friend's ex - and looking at my crush a little too hard. I'm supposed to be taking over Gran's business, but the rumors are flying. This town hates me. My neighbor wants to see me fail, my love life is out of control, and Luke's daughter? It looks like she's going to be the only one who ends up hurt unless something changes. What good is success if I can't use it to help anyone else? I came home to save something. I just had no idea it was more than just a house.

Collide

Converge

She was supposed to rescue strays, not become one. Brook had her life together. For six years, she checked off all the right boxes: beautiful home, middle-class life, and a dream job managing an animal rescue. She'd worked hard to reach those pillars of success, but there was one thing she didn't plan for. An abusive husband. She thought no one noticed, but her latest court-appointed volunteer didn't miss the bruise on her arm. Ryder knew something was up, and he wouldn't rest until the beautiful woman with a heart big enough for every dog in the shelter had her own happy ending. Those were what he specialized in, after all. He just had to remind himself that he wasn't a hero. This was no different than rescuing a stray. All he had to do was follow the steps. Step one: get her away from the abuse. Step two: find her a safe place to live. And that was the problem. The home he shared with his twin brother was not a safe place for her. If one man did that much damage, how much worse would it be when she was locked alone with two? Still, he and Hunter had to help, even if they had their own demons - and she was bringing them all back to the surface. This one desperate woman was about to find herself in the middle of a storm she never saw coming. Because when it rains, It pours.

When It Rains

Combust

True love is facing your own fears so your family can conquer theirs. The world is supposed to be mine. I took it when I was younger, and now I'm just coasting on my success. As an internationally renowned lingerie designer, I have everything I've ever wanted, including the three loves of my life. Or so I thought. Because if the world is mine, then it needs to bend to my will, and this small Texas town refuses to do that. These people look at me and see one thing: gay. I'm not. Bi-erasure is real, and it's starting to piss me off. I've been playing good so my boyfriend doesn't end up paying the price, but this? These redneck bubbas have gone too far this time. They think throwing out a flew slurs or beating the crap out of me will scare me off? They're wrong. I'm Ashton Walker. I came from nothing, and I promised myself I would never go back there. So I'll change the world instead. The first step is to get Southwind open again. That means we need some people on our side, and Gran always said that we'd catch more flies with honey than vinegar. I'm about to risk it all for this place. If I fail, we'll have nothing - maybe not even us. So I'll fight for my family with everything I have. My money, my fame, and even that cruel streak that makes it so easy to tear others down - or lift them up. They want to call me gay? Well, it's time these cowboys see what happens when their wives meet me. After all, I come bearing lingerie. I know I'm going to end up paying for this stunt. I just hope it won't be with my life.
