description: Texas Heat
  Isabelle Reed is having a bad year. The classical violinist is struggling with a divorce, and a broken arm has left her unable to play. So when she receives a wedding invitation from her cousin Morgan, her heart just isn't in it. Going to the wedding will mean seeing everyone from back home, and seeing everyone back home will mean facing the music about her divorce. Unable to miss her cousin's wedding, she bites the bullet and takes off--and lands right in the arms of Morgan's brother-in-law, country western music star Tate McGill. She'd heard about the singer and his bad-boy reputation, but there's something about those storm-filled eyes that made her yearn to look deeper. Even though she should know better than to risk being the subject of a song on his next album.
  Country western singer Tate McGill is living the good life. He's surrounded by beautiful women, hit music, and a great family. But he gets more than he bargained for when he agrees to babysit his nephew Jake for his brother Seth Blake, and finds a beautiful woman in his way. Isabelle Reed is talented and strong-willed, and she's a natural with little Jake. But she's keeping a secret from Tate, and he's determined to find out what it is...

  "New baby. New adventures. Love deluxe. "
  Philadelphia Titans quarterback Seth Blake couldn't be happier. Toddler Jake is growing like a weed, and Seth's wife Morgan is expecting another baby. He's just signed a new contract to play football for five more years and has a plan for retirement. Things couldn't be better...until an unexpected family crisis turns the world upside down for them all.

  The Perfect Storm
  "Sometimes you have to tear everything down and start over..."
  Private security specialist Samantha Jane Carson gets the surprise of her life when she arrives at Blake Enterprises for the annual security audit. Instead of her usual contact, she's greeted by the company president himself, the sexy and elusive J.J. Blake. It's her job to know everything about the Blake family, and J.J.'s recent divorce is the talk of the town. Women are lined up to become the next Mrs. Blake, and who wouldn't want to be? J.J.'s gorgeous, rich, and has stormy green eyes that hold women captive.
  J.J. Blake is making some major changes in his life. Freshly divorced from ex-wife Eden, he's building a new house, coming to terms with the injury that ended his NFL career, and is ready to start fresh--without romance complicating things. His friends and family encourage him to get back into the dating pool, but he'd rather not be sucked into those rough waters again. Work is the obvious diversion, and he opts to handle the security audit himself for some good old-fashioned guy/tech work. But when Sam Carson walks into his office, J.J.'s brought up short. The "Sam" he was expecting turns out to be Samantha--beautiful, smart, and a tough-as-nails ex-cop in a polished, professional package. And she's just the kind of woman who could drag him under...
