In the quiet of suburbia, a single dad and an ambitious neighbor discover love in the most inconvenient of places. A lone wolf risks his secrets for a woman he shouldn't crave. A vampire faces the breaking dawn with a kiss he never expected to want.

From smoldering firehouse moments to alien heat burning across galaxies, each story brings a new shade of desire, an unexpected twist of fate, and characters who dare to hope, even when the odds seem stacked against them.

Whether it's love found in a heartbeat, in a war-torn letter, or in a passion that defies time and species, these seven stories will pull you into their heat, their heart, and their hope.

When distance, danger, and duty stand in the way...

Can love still find a way through?
