1. THE WAY I HATE HIM by Meghan Quinn
SYNOPSIS
Why am I holding a box of stolen memorabilia in my arms? Itβs calledβ¦ revenge.
After failing my last semester of grad school, I decided to come back to my hometown and wallow in my boyfriendβs sympathetic arms. Instead, he proceeded to dump me... for being boring! Now, Iβm not typically a spiteful person, but thereβs only so much I can take. Hence why Iβm holding the box of his most cherished possessionsβ¦ stolen possessions no less! The plan? To give the box back to its rightful owner and rat my ex out. Howβs that for being boring?
But plans never go the way you want them, because instead of dropping off the box with a note, Iβm pinned with the crime by the true owner of the box himself. Hayes Farrow is grumpy, arrogant, and stupidly hot in a way that makes it hard to even look him in the eye. Not to mention heβs my brotherβs nemesis so I fully intended to stay far far away from the gorgeous jerk.
But to add insult to the injury that has become my life as of late, Hayes gives me two options: turn me into the police and press full charges... or work it off. How could I possibly work for someone I canβt stand? Easy, I donβt look good in orange.
But working for Hayes isnβt as horrible as I thought it would be. The way I hate him begins to turn into something elseβsomething I never thought Iβd feel. But the way my brother reacts when he finds out Iβm working for his enemy? Heβd prefer me in prison orange.
Marriages of convenience have this incredible ability to turn virtual strangers into lovers.
2. THE REASON I MARRIED HIM by Meghan Quinn
SYNOPSIS
He proposed... and I said yes.
Normally a jovial occasion for a couple in love, but this proposal has a very different feel. Because the man that Iβll be calling my husband blew into town with one thing on his mind... to make my life a living nightmare.
So why did I say yes? Well, because we both need something from each other. Namely, I want the farm land he currently owns, and he needs a wife in order to inherit his family cabin in his grandfatherβs will. So as he so eloquently put it, my hand, for his land.
At first, I thought the idea was nuts. Who really gets married out of convenience? Apparently, I do. And now we have to sell our relationship to the town. Meaning, weβre holding hands, heβs pinching my cheeks... upper and lower. Weβre even forced to share the one-bedroom guest house on the farm where his monstrous body is taking up a large percentage of the bed.
But weβre so persuasive about our farse, that now Iβm starting to think he actually might like me. Especially when he grabs me by the wrist and teases the shell of my ear as he whispers, βMineβ.
Sometimes life throws you a love curveball, and all you have to do is hit it.
3. THE PATH TO LOVING HIM by Meghan Quinn
SYNOPSIS
What does one do when they completely blow an interview?
If youβre me, you pick up a one-night stand with the most gorgeous man youβve ever seenβ¦
Thatβs right, after a lousy interview that could have changed everything for me, I headed over to the local small town bar to sulk when the one man I shouldnβt want walked in. And when my friend convinced me to take him back to my hotel room, I didnβt think about it, I just did it... well, I did him. It was an unforgettable night, but I didnβt stay for breakfast. Instead, I got out of there and tried not to think about him again.
Everything was fine until I received a call from the interviewer saying I got the job as the assistant baseball coach at Almond Bay High. Iβd be working directly under the one and only Ryland Rowleyβmy one-night stand.
Now, Iβm not only working with him but renting the apartment above his garage. And I have to deal with the fact that heβs the man I dream about and canβt have while not letting my attraction get in the way of keeping the harmony between us. Sounds easy, doesnβt it?
It should have been, except the plan falls apart when my shower breaks, and night after night I have to slip into his house to use the bathroom only to find him in the kitchen, staring me down with those hungry, single dad eyes.
