6. The Agreement by J.C. Reed: “That’s what life is supposed to be like. As the rightful heir to Waterfront Shore, I would gladly refuse my inheritance. I don’t want the money.

7. To Love Jason Thorn by Ella Maise: “Oh, how stupidly in love with that boy I was. He was the first boy that made me blush, my first official crush. Sounds beautiful so far, right?

10. Loving My Neighbor by C.M. Steele: “Trent Davenport isn’t your average rich playboy. He may have wealth, but what he doesn’t have is patience—for people which includes the opposite sex. Loving his solitude, Trent was taken by surprise with his need to possess his new neighbor.”
