Tucker Greenleaf has spent her whole life trying to rise above her questionable childhood. With her past finally behind her - broken heart, broken family, broken dreams - she's got her sights on a bright future. And she's got a plan to do it. No men. No distractions. No tolerance for big egos and even bigger trucks. And it's all going smoothly...until Joey Fox walks into her life. Joey Fox is too charming for words, drifting through college life on a trust fund and a gorgeous smile. He's not ashamed to admit that he's cultivated a bit of a reputation. Daddy's money. (Lots of it.) One night stands. (Lots of them.) And zero apologies for any of it. It's working well for him...until he spies a girl with long, red hair and mismatched shoes. Both are trying to outrun their pasts. Both have something to prove. She wants to save a small part of the world. He wants to escape from under his dad's thumb. When their two worlds collide, sparks and parking tickets fly, secrets come to the surface and heartbreak seems like a given. Will Joey be able to break down the wall Tucker's built around her heart? Once Tucker knows everything about Joey, will she be able to forgive him enough for both of them? And most importantly...can love and forgiveness find their way through, and give Joey and Tucker a chance they never thought they'd have? Previously published under the name "Bad Reputation", Colliding Hearts is the 2013 winner of the SYTYCW contest.

Ginnie Silver has always been a planner. Ever since her father walked out on her at twelve years old, she's scheduled everything down to the last detail. College education. Check. Rewarding career path. Check. Handsome husband. Check. So Ginnie never dreamed that the last four years of her life - the last four years of planning - would become a write off. But that's just what's happened. Twelve weeks ago, her husband had their marriage annulled - the last thing Ginnie would ever have expected. Now, she's on a solo trip to Vegas, determined to get the man out of her system. She only has two small problems. First, her former husband has decided to make the trip, too. And he's bringing a new friend. And a lot of questionable baggage. And second, her plane has made an unexpected stop in Nowheresville, USA. Oh. And there's the small matter of a third thing. Hot-bodied, pierced in all the wrong (or is it right?) places Quinn Mcdavid, who - for some unfathomable reason - seems to be following Ginnie around and getting her more than a little hot and bothered. Retired undercover cop, Quinn Mcdavid only took this job for something to keep his mind busy. His friend Jase needed a favor - keep an eye on his sister, Ginnie, while she takes some crazy, all-by-herself trip to Las Vegas. Quinn thought it sounded easy. Distracting. But easy and distracting don't even begin to describe the way Ginnie makes him feel. The straight-laced woman with the flashing green eyes is so much more than he bargained for. He's supposed to stay low and keep out of sight, but when Ginnie almost gets herself kicked off the plane (before she even gets on!) every protective instinct Quinn has kicks in, and he suddenly finds himself not only defending her, but sitting beside her in first class and helping her plot revenge on her jerk of an ex. He thinks their unexpected stopover in small town, USA, might give him a chance to break away from the attraction. Instead, it forces them even closer. And as the weekend passes, Quinn realizes there's a good chance that Ginnie needs protection from more than just herself. To do that, he'll have to keep her close. A chance at love and the risk of a broken heart. An unstable ex and a questionable history. Nothing is easy. Nothing is guaranteed. And as the heat rises...So do the stakes...When Quinn and Ginnie confront their pasts, can they avoid a collision with their present? Do they have any hope for a future? Or is this nothing more than a Mile High Weekend?

Kiss the next man who falls into your lap." When Mia Diaz agrees to the dare, she doesn't expect it to happen so literally.

Her long-buried libido certainly thinks it's the right move ... as long as what comes next is strictly a one-night affair. Mia has dedicated the last few years to building her jewelry store. She's not about to put her heart in a stranger's hands, no matter how skillful they might be ... Ethan has made his fortune by seizing opportunities. So when he finds himself tangled up in long legs, red hair, and satin bed sheets, he doesn't complain--until he finds out the redhead in question is Mia Diaz. The same Mia who's been dodging his emails and calls for weeks, ignoring all his offers to buy her out. Ethan is a master of the takeover. Mia refuses to give in. And what started out as a simple dare has become the ultimate challenge, where the only way to win may be to surrender.
