Renata Moon and Connell MacAllister lost more than a frivolous lawsuit in a Manhattan
courtroom. Paying the settlement will probably force them to close their non-profit business.
That is, until they learn about a new survivalist game show set in exotic Bali. Grand prize:
one million dollars. The catch? The show is for newlyweds.
Nothing that a quickie marriage-in name only-can't fix. But Renata and Connell didn't anticipate they'd be linked by handcuffs the entire time they're competing! Soon, spending days and nights with only a few inches of chain between them begins to stir feelings they never knew existed.
Before the competition ends, Renata and Connell will be forced to decide which means more to them: love or money.

Nicole Fleming and Dante LaPalma have nothing in common except an old man's legacy.
Joe Corbet has promised that a great treasure awaits them-if they're clever enough to
solve his riddles within a six-month time frame, that is.
According to Joe's will, Nicole and Dante must participate in several excursions. After each adventure, a new clue will be presented that will lead them to their next obstacle. Only when they've completed every task can they discover the treasure meant just for them.
Along the way, Nicole and Dante are forced to share their secrets and place their faith in one another. If they can learn to work together, they'll discover what's truly important in life. And maybe, if they're lucky, they'll find the greatest treasure of all: love.

Eldest of three sisters, April Raine was pregnant and married at eighteen. Divorced ten
years later, April has struggled to provide for her children. Now a successful
businesswoman, she accepts a challenge from a daytime talk show to compete in a
thirty-day battle of the sexes against a television psychologist who claims her
organization hurts the very people she claims to help.
Dr. Jefferson Prentiss, television's Dr. Jeff, is haunted by the loss of his wife, his newborn son, and his role in their deaths. To atone, he's dedicated his professional life to the ideals of family. The talk show challenge presents him an opportunity to prove not only the sagacity of his self-help book, but the inherent danger of paying strangers to perform those family tasks that should be done out of love and consideration.
Once inside an isolated cabin filled with videotaping equipment, April and Jeff learn from each other, tackle their demons, and discover a new awareness between them. When the dust settles, who'll come out on top? The doctor? The mom? Or will love prevail?

After the death of her husband, professional competitive skier Brooklyn Raine has
shunned the press. Living as Lyn Hill, bed & breakfast owner in a quaint Vermont
mountain town, Brooklyn keeps a low profile and avoids any link to her former
celebrity status. Now, her famous older sister has arrived with her children and fiancé
in tow, and the spotlight threatens to burn bright on Brooklyn once again.
Sports reporter Douglas Sawyer sustained a devastating loss in Iraq and no longer cares about his career, much less his future. At the insistence of friends and family, he becomes the first civilian participant in Ski-Hab, a winter sports rehabilitation program for war veterans and amputees. After he discovers that pushy Lyn Hill is actually former ski star Brooklyn Raine, his instincts sense the perfect storyline to thrust him back into the journalism world. Despite interference from other skiers, the local cab driver, and Brooklyn herself, Doug is determined to chronicle the life of the former ski champ.
But when their secrets are revealed, each will face a hard choice. Will Brooklyn and Doug abandon the easy trail to take a chance on the more challenging slope to love?

To outsiders, Summer Raine has a perfect life. But inside her perfect home, her perfect
marriage has fallen apart. Still, she never expected to have her husband's infidelity
aired on Cliff Hanger's nationally syndicated radio show. Once she's tossed the cheater
out, she hopes to start her own business as a wedding planner. Funds, however, are in
short supply. Lucky for Summer, her sister April hires her to work at Rainey-Day-Wife
until she can get back on her feet again. But...Summer? A nanny?
Craig Hartmann spends his work days as Cliff Hanger, shock jock, but in real life, he's a quiet, divorced father of three trying to hang onto his family and his sanity. What he needs is someone who'll help him find the perfect balance. When he seeks an expert at Rainey-Day-Wife, he's stunned to find himself face to face with the woman whose life he ruined in a radio stunt gone awry.
Juggling sports practices, temper tantrums, and trips to the emergency room while planning the celebrity wedding of her sister's dreams, Summer discovers that the "perfect" life is one where nothing ever goes as planned. But this hunky deejay, his three rambunctious children, and all the chaos they engender just might be a perfect fit for Summer.
