Babies. They're everywhere.My closest friends are all in family mode. It's like a constant alarm on their biological clocks that won't stop ringing until an army of kids surrounds us all. Being the wives of rock stars, dealing with the stoplight, tours, and balancing time with their husbands, they have a lot on their plates. Whereas my only concern is when Gabe will be home from managing the bar.Everyone keeps asking when we're going to start trying. Our family. Our friends. At least my husband hasn't joined in, but I see the look in his eyes every time someone says they're pregnant.He wants to start but I'm content on just practicing until the time is right.Unfortunately, nothing ever works out the way you plan.Two little lines. One scary adventure.At least I know I won't be alone.After all, misery loves company.

Hearts are fragile, and mine's been shattered before...I have always thought of love in the abstract, never something to come true. My past has shown me time after time that those who are supposed to love you will only lead you to disappointment. Destiny, fate, chance...those are things that I have never believed in.Until him.A chance encounter with a distinct pair of blue eyes and a heart-melting smile challenges my knowledge of life and love.Because there's something about this stranger that has me believing in the possibility of more...

I've made a mistake... Can we find our way back?They say that distance makes the heart grow fonder, of that time heals all wounds. What they don't tell you is that it doesn't lessen the pain. I don't think those people have experienced a loss like this.I left my heart in London, and I'm not sure I'll ever get it back.But fate has a plan of her own. She keeps me guessing and hoping that not everything is as it seems.Hearts can be shattered but can also be put back together. Especially when love doesn't give up on you, even if you think it has.

The first time we met, James Dumont knocked me off my feet.He's sexy and smart, the classic good guy.... Exactly what I want, and everything I've ever dreamed of. The most perfect guy at Somerset High School. He even makes sixth-period Geography interesting.Everyone says high school is tough. Fighting my attraction to James? That's the hardest part, because this guy, my perfect match, the one who makes my heart overrule my head...He's my teacher.What if the greatest lesson you could learn in school couldn't be found in a book?

There's nothing, not anymore. No perfect life. No clear path. Just...nothing. I didn't want the life my parents mapped out for me. Being the piano prodigy was never my goal. It was theirs.I craved normalcy, a life of my own.I should have been careful what I wished for because one second, one moment of anger was all it took to rip away everything that mattered.Now I'm left with nothing but regret.He thinks he can save me, but the shadows that surround always pull me back, reminding me of what I'd done, of what I'd wanted.He's a rock god. I'm a nothing.And I refuse to take him down with me.

Downbeat n: The first beat in a measure, often the strongest.Fame, fortune, traveling to different cities across the country...I'm living the dream. As the drummer for the Lightning Strikes, it's my job to hook you in and keep you coming back for more. It's my craft, my calling, what I'm a master at. Even with all that, I'm still just a normal guy who wants to eat at food trucks and lounge on the couch, playing video games until I can't see straight.Everything was perfect.At least I thought it was, until a blonde bombshell walked into my life and made me question everything I thought I knew. I want her.I need her. Only, she's afraid of the spotlight, afraid of what it'll do to her and the ones she loves. The wall around her heart is keeping me out, but I know before long I will break down her barriers. She needs to know that there is more to us than what she sees, that this chemistry between us is our downbeat to forever.All the guys in the band have their happily ever after. Maybe it's time for mine.

Appearances are everything in this small town.I've become a master at putting on a show. Perfect wife. Perfect mother.Mike made sure I knew my place, constantly reminding me it was never at the top.My kids deserve better. I deserve better.Trying to juggle everything while putting myself back together might be the craziest thing I've ever done.Or so I thought.Keeping the line between friendship and more with Henry, my new boss, might have hit the limit.Divorced. Father of two. Restaurant owner and the nicest man you'll ever meet.I've had a lot of regrets in my life.Let's hope he isn't one of them.

Falling in love with your best friend's little sister is never a good idea. Getting caught kissing her, that's even worse.I watched Lizzie Donovan grow up - from pigtails and scraped knees to pouty lips and lush curves.It wasn't until one night nine years ago in the front seat of her car, with her lips on mine, that I realized what I was feeling was far more than friendship.Of course, I felt her brother's wicked left hook shortly after.One promise was all it took to push her away.Not anymore.This is my chance.I have three months to convince her that she's the song in my heart and we're more than just forbidden lyrics.
