But, as the residents soon find out, they can't hide from love. Family Dinners with the Billionaire When Jetton Bolt’s supermodel wife died two years ago, his kids handled it surprisingly well. After all, she was hardly ever home. Now that they’ve moved back to Jetton’s home town of Seattle, however, problems arise, and the counselor he’s hired recommends he spend more time with his children. First thing on the list: eat dinners together, and cook them together, too. Jetton doesn’t cook, but that’s what money’s for, right?

When sparks begin to fly in the Bolt kitchen between Jetton and Julie, both will have to redefine their ideas of success if they have any hope of believing what their hearts are telling them.

    ♥ ♥Lucy Morrowitz has two dreams. First, to reopen the Starlight Drive-In Theater left to her by her parents. And second, to marry her celebrity crush—renowned motivational speaker Carter Hughes. Neither goal is remotely attainable, and she’s fine with that—they’d never been more than a lark—until her co-worker, WHHR’s morning drive DJ Crew Keller, convinces the Harvest Ranch community to rally around Lucy in saving the small-town landmark. Then, when Carter Hughes accepts her Hail Mary of an invitation to give the kickoff speech at the Harvest Ranch spring cleanup, suddenly, neither of her dreams feels quite as far out of reach.Zachary Hughes, on the other hand, has never been much of a dreamer. He doesn’t have glamorous a job as his brother, but it’s steady and reliable, even if he doesn’t love it. He’s not as well-known, either, but he’s never been one to seek attention. In fact, there’s nothing Carter has that Zach envies—until he meets his fiancée. Because of her, Zach finds himself reaching for more: A job he looks forward to every day, rather than settling for the family business. A town where he’s known, and not just as Carter’s little brother. And the perfect person to spend his life with—someone who laughs with him, challenges him, accepts him, loves him. Someone like Lucy.And yet, are these the kind of dreams that will bring either one of them happiness? Perhaps the motivational speakers are right—Lucy and Zach can reach your dreams. They just have to make sure they’re reaching for the right ones.♥ ♥ Enjoy this fresh take on a classic '80s rom-com. A small-town, sweet forbidden romance that has you dreaming of an evening spent at the drive-in with your sweetheart. ♥ ♥

    Can Gemma Stone transform him into a respectable Seattle billionaire without losing her heart to this Texas cowboy in the process? Welcome to The Cove With heavy iron gates, two security stations, and a groundskeeper's cottage, The Cove has everything a billionaire could ask for in a home. Dubbed Billionaire Bachelor Cove because of the resident's single status and income portfolios, The Cove is the perfect place to hide away from the world. But, as the residents soon find out, they can't hide from love. 
Her Brilliant Cowboy Billionaire Her Brilliant Cowboy Billionaire Gemma Stonewall considers her new position as a public relations/personal assistant for Jamon West two rungs down on the career ladder. At the request of her former employer, the prestigious billionaire, Adam Moreau, she accepts her assignment to transform West into a respectable billionaire with apprehension. This rags-to-riches cowboy wears boots to breakfast and anywhere in between and his Texan terminology requires translation. Gemma’s first day on the job leaves her feeling as though she’s brought an itinerary and organizational skills to a gun fight. Jamon West never intended to be a billionaire. When his college chemistry project turned him into an instant millionaire and two years later a billionaire, he wasn’t prepared to leave his ranching way of life behind. Orphaned as a teenager along with his older brother, Jamon’s known hard times, but nothing prepared him for life as a billionaire bachelor. Distant relatives appeared out of nowhere, gold-digging women snuck into his bedroom, his brother wanted his money and he’d never felt more alone. Jamon needed a change and The Cove called like a haven in the storm. Seattle is the perfect place to build his research facility and gain respect among the scientific community. To do that, Jamon has to dress the part—even if the idea of a new wardrobe is as painful as a burr in his boot. In short, he needs Gemma’s professional help and soon finds that he also needs her love. But, Jamon’s already lost many of the people who mattered most to him and if he allows himself to love Gemma only to lose her, he’d never survive. All the money in the world can’t stop a heart from breaking. He’s got a choice to make and he’s about to find out just what being a real cowboy is all about.
