He Needs Her 

Fatherhood is the last thing on navy SEAL Calder Remington's mind. On the job, he's a hardworking hero; in civilian life, he's a carefree bachelor. When he finds a baby–his baby–on his doorstep, he's got no choice but to be a dad. He needs help, and that's where super–nanny Pandora Moore comes in. She's perfect in every way. Calder can't deny that he's powerfully attracted to her. 

But she's his employee, which puts her strictly off–limits. And though Pandora may seem perfect, she becomes evasive whenever talk turns to her past. Calder can't help wondering if she's hiding something. He never imagines that the truth may tear them apart–just as they dare to imagine a future together.

Navy SEAL Deacon Murphy's tryst with Ellie Hilliard was white–hot, but quickly forgotten when she met her husband, his best friend, Tom. That was fine by Deacon. As a rule, he avoided making commitments, at least to anything other than the navy.

But when Tom died, Deacon promised that he'd watch over Ellie and her daughter, Pia–not knowing that Pia was actually his, and never expecting that he'd fall for them both in the process.

Ellie is terrified of getting too close to Deacon, and not just because of his high–risk career. Losing Tom was hard enough. If Tom's parents knew the truth about Pia, she could lose them, too–and they're the only family she has left.

Successful oilman Tag O'Malley is shocked—and overjoyed—when he hears the news. He's a father! But the child comes with strings attached…namely, the baby's mother. A complete stranger!

Olivia Marshall was planning to raise her baby on her own. Now, thanks to a mistake at the lab, she's about to meet her child's father. What else can a desperate single mom do but run? Yet she can't hide forever, and now the handsome, take–charge widower insists on getting to know mother and child…by having them move in with him.

That's when the battle really begins to heat up!

A pilot's widow, Stephanie Olmstead isn't afraid of flying…until the plane takes off, triggering a panic attack! Suddenly, the single mother of twins has a new man in her life. Brady McGuire, the pilot who saved her from a major meltdown, now sees himself as her protector. And friend.

Between flying and moving across the country to be closer to his daughter, Brady's life is hectic enough. But ever since he played hero, he can't stay away from the gorgeous single mom and her infant girls. That's when things start happening really fast. But is Stephanie ready to move on? Brady has his doubts. One thing's for sure, it's going to be a bumpy ride!

His Toughest Mission Yet 

Navy SEAL Mason Brown left Conifer, Alaska, and his broken marriage behind long ago. Until one call changed everything. His ex–wife has died in a tragic accident, and given custody of her twin baby girls to Mason and her sister Hattie. 

Hattie Beaumont always dreamed of having a family–and Mason–but never like this. Now those old longings seem like betrayal, especially since playing house with Mason comes naturally. She can tell he feels it, too, so why is he determined to leave? 

Mason knows Hattie and the girls are the greatest Christmas gift he'll ever get. But even though he's risked his life countless times, risking his heart again feels so much more dangerous.

He's defended his country and upheld the code of the navy SEALs, but Garrett Solomon has never faced a mission quite like this. As teenagers, he and Eve Barnesworth were passionately in love. Eve's unplanned pregnancy only deepened his commitment to her. But Eve's powerful father, fearing a scandal, whisked her away. As far as Garrett and Eve knew, their baby had died–and with it, their love. Years later, the loss and betrayal still pain Garrett deeply.

Then comes shocking news: the child is still alive. Determined to find their stolen son, Garrett and Eve join forces. Working together is strictly business…until it isn't. Because it seems their powerful attraction–like the child they once thought was gone forever–is still very much alive.
