"A sizzling combination of heat and heart." Barbara Freethy, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author



Cooper Daggett enjoys playing the field, until he falls for a woman who doesn't look at love as just a game…


Winning a designer's services in a community raffle doesn't mean beautiful Willow Ray will rearrange Cooper's life, right? Except then she's in his home and in his workplace and in his head…can his heart be far behind?


Willow wants a man and a family. Security and commitment. While Cooper has all the sexy charm in the world and was made for a thrilling one-night stand, she questions if there can be more. Because everybody knows you can't re-make a dedicated bachelor into the forever man you need…unless love steps in with its own plan.


Enjoy the 7-Stud Club! Seven poker night buddies who are very good with their hands…and are about to lose their hearts! Only great risk leads to great reward…
