Rosewood River
An emotional series with a side of angst and a dash of humor.
1. STEAL MY HEART by Laura Pavlov
SYNOPSIS
Henley Holloway is my boss’s daughter and I’ve been assigned to mentor her. The problem is, I’m not looking to babysit anyone. But I’m determined to make partner at the firm, and this is the final obstacle in my way. So, I agree to take the little princess under my wing. I’ll work her so hard, she’ll beg me to leave her alone.
But from the first day she walks into the office and spills scalding hot coffee on my chest—I’m intrigued. She’s a Harvard grad. Her work ethic rivals mine. She’s witty and funny and beautiful all at the same time. I don’t want to like her. I have a hard and fast rule about relationships, and I will not break it with my boss’s daughter. That’s a hard no.
But she’s everywhere I turn, and I can’t seem to get enough. Weren’t rules meant to be broken anyway? From the moment we cross the line—I’m done for. Henley Holloway has seeped her way into my heart, one that I didn’t even know still worked.
But sometimes loving someone isn’t enough. I’m living proof of that.
2. MY SILVER LINING by Laura Pavlov
SYNOPSIS
Lulu Sonnet is the bane of my existence. She’s caused me more physical pain than any man should ever endure. From an accidental throat punch to a near death by shovel—don’t even get me started on that vicious pool ball accident where she almost robbed me of my family jewels. She’s a hot little heathen, and what’s worse? She’s staying in my brother’s rental house while I’m temporarily living in the guest house. And now she needs a favor. A fake boyfriend.
I’ll dote on her for a few weeks, she’ll return the favor so my boss’s daughter will stop nagging me, and then we’ll part ways. It seems simple enough. Until we end up in the same shower. And then the same bed. The lines are blurring. She’s beautiful and fierce and sexy all at the same time. But Lulu isn’t staying in Rosewood River forever. The place I call home is just a pitstop for her.
But suddenly everything I thought I wanted is no longer important to me. My fake girlfriend has turned my world upside down. And now nothing feels right without her.
3. OVER THE MOON by Laura Pavlov
SYNOPSIS
Hockey is my first love. And I’m coming off the best season of my life. In the process of scoring the winning goal that gave us the Stanley Cup I tore my MCL, and I’ll need to spend the next few months recovering. Eloise Gable, the team’s new physical therapist, has been sent to Rosewood River to help me heal and get me ready for the new season. Yet, she doesn’t seem all too happy about the situation. In fact, she can’t stand me most days.
It doesn’t stop me from staring at her any chance I get. She’s beautiful and brilliant, but she’s got her guard up the minute I get close. Eloise is a distraction I wasn’t prepared for. Did I mention that she’s also my coach’s daughter?
But after a long run together in the summer heat, our built-up tension snapped. We end up stripping down and jumping in the river. It seemed like the logical thing at the time. The problem is, Eloise Gable is completely off-limits. But I’m a professional hockey player, and in my world, limits were meant to be pushed.
Hockey may be my first love, but after falling for my coach’s daughter—it’s definitely not my last.
4. CRAZY IN LOVE by Laura Pavlov
SYNOPSIS
Emilia Taylor hates me, which is absolutely fine by me, because I don’t particularly care much for her either. Maybe I took things too far, but I decided she was the enemy a long time ago, and she gave me no reason to think differently. At least not until recently. And when she sets her mind to prove me wrong, she goes all in.
I’m willing to admit when I’m wrong—because it sure as hell doesn’t happen very often. But being vulnerable with a woman who I was convinced was out for my family was a big pill to swallow. So, I’d rather send her a fancy gift and call this vendetta done. However, she is anything but predictable. She doesn’t want a fancy gift from a man who she’s declared a broody, heartless billionaire. Her words not mine. And it’s not like you can send flowers to a woman who owns a floral shop.
She wants a sincere apology instead but that may be more than I can give. She’s sunshine and rainbows, and I’m… well not. But when the first tear rolls down her cheek, I swear something inside me cracks. Turns out, my cold jaded heart still works. Apparently, it beats for the one woman I never saw coming.
5. IN A HEARTBEAT by Laura Pavlov
SYNOPSIS
Wren Waterstone isn’t just one of the most decorated equestrians in the world―she was also my best friend for as long as I can remember. Until she wasn’t. Now she’s back in Rosewood River, and thanks to a temp agency, Wren has been placed at my ranch. I have no intention of allowing my ex-best-friend to work for me, but when I see the desperation in her eyes, I can’t turn her away, even though I know I should.
Old habits die hard. Seeing her every day is more challenging than I expected. She’s guarded. Wounded. And she looks at me like I’m the enemy. I need to know why. The more time we spend together, the more the lines between past and present blur―and we find our way back to one another. The only problem is, she’s got big dreams to chase. And I only want to chase her.
I’ve loved this girl my entire life, and our time apart didn’t change that. I let Wren Waterstone get away once. Am I really going to make that mistake again?
6. WHISPER SWEET NOTHINGS by Laura Pavlov
SYNOPSIS
Winnie Smith is the perfect nanny. She’s reliable, warm, and my daughter adores her. She cooks like a pro, styles pigtails like a fairy godmother, and knows her way around a car engine better than most mechanics. She’s made life easier. The house feels full again. And maybe… so do I.
But living under the same roof has its challenges. Like catching her in the kitchen after midnight… barefoot, in tiny sleep shorts, eating ice cream straight from the tub. Don’t even get me started on the way that her lips wrapped around that spoon. I digress. It shouldn’t mean anything. She’s a decade younger. I’m her boss. She’s off-limits. And yet, it’s all I can think about.
I was just looking for a nanny—not nightly cold showers and definitely not feelings. But the more we blur the lines, the harder it is to keep pretending. We say it’s temporary. No strings. Just one harmless arrangement. But what if she’s not just what my daughter needs… What if she’s exactly what I’ve been missing too?
