Lori has been in love with her best friend Aiden since college. Now Aiden (handsome, fair, All-American dream doctor) is getting married, and Lori desperately needs a date to the wedding. So she asks the best man, Jace (tall, dark, and brooding), to pretend their platonic friendship is something more not to have to face the worst day of her life alone. Fake dating one best friend to forget the other should be easy… Plot twist—it’s not. When Jace starts acting like the sweetest, most attentive boyfriend, Lori begins to wonder if she’s been seeing him wrong all this time?

She's just found out that if she wants to start a family she needs to get on with it - fast. But her almost-definitely boyfriend Nat has almost-definitely just broken up with her. Could platonic co-parenting - where two friends have a child together with no romantic connection - be the easy answer? Dee finds herself suggesting the idea to a chef she's just met called Andy. And in the cold light of day he doesn't find it as laughable as she does. But will feelings surface along the way? And, in her heart of hearts, does Dee even want a baby?

If you’ve ever checked your ex’s social media at 2am – or their new partner’s LinkedIn (because it’s the only social profile you can access) – or are having sex with your partner knowing you’re going to leave – or if you can’t stop thinking about the one who broke your heart a decade ago – or if everyone thinks you’re the perfect couple but you’ve been drifting apart for years – or if you’re swiping to fill a void – then you’ve probably felt a smarting of shame.

The very best journalism from one of Britain's most admired and outspoken science writers, author of the bestselling Bad Science and Bad Pharma.

Now the pick of the journalism by one of our wittiiest, most indignant and most fearless commentators on the worlds of medicine and science is collected in one volume.

They call him the Anaconda, and I'm pretty sure it isn't because he likes snakes. Nick Jenson is my neighbor. My hot, oh-so-sexy, very-well-equipped neighbor that I'd spend hours watching from the safety of my bedroom window. I saw lots of things I probably shouldn't have. Sometimes I'd touch myself, imagining it were his hands roaming over my body instead of my own. I had just one mission - to find out if the rumors were true.

I used to be a normal wife and mother with a perfectly happy life. Now I'm a divorced single mom who spent a night in jail after breaking into the hair salon my ex's mistress owns. What can I say? Not my proudest moment.

He insisted there wouldn’t be consequences. He broke his promise. So I’m trying to avoid him at all costs. It doesn’t help that his face would make angels lose their virtue and he has a body made for sin.... The chemistry between us is undeniable. I couldn’t resist him if I tried. He’s going to be the rung on my career ladder that breaks…and I’m almost to the top, so an office scandal is the last thing I need. Plus, Noah's got secrets. But so do I. And I'm smart enough to keep my secrets and heart out of the mix.

I’m keeping Chase Monroe in the friend zone. He’s doing everything possible to move me out of it. He's the living embodiment of the billionaire playboy—richer than God, sexy as sin, and charming as hell. With a full calendar of friends-with-benefits. His strict no-relationships policy means I’d be another notch on his bedpost. Not happening. But our friendship is hard to keep.

An animal under the sheets. That’s what his exes claimed about Steven Sinclair on national TV. He’s super successful, scheduled, and has rules about dating. And he’s my soon-to-be sister-in-law Quinn’s brother. I’m only in Chicago for the wedding and to watch my niece for the week...but now he’s staying with me, too. The aching is too much...the heat too hot...the craving on the cusp of exploding. But the sins of his father have consequences in Steven’s life. And that means mine as well.

Dmitri Ivanov is determined to repair every broken piece of me.... My battered body healed. My heart hasn’t. Everything my ex convinced me to hate about myself, Dmitri turns upside down. From day one, he requires my commitment to him—including my full trust. In return, he claims he’s giving his to me. But the element of danger Dmitri gives off isn’t just in my head. He’s involved in things. His past isn’t buried so deep it never reappears. And the thing he hates most about himself I should run from.

Jamison Lancott’s fake marriage makes everything about our love forbidden. It doesn’t matter if his wife approves of me. He’s rich, gorgeous, and the most generous man I’ve ever met. I don’t care about his billions or his gifts. When I’m with him, my soul feels on fire. Life has purpose. When we’re apart, the hole in our hearts only grows. He says he wants to give me everything. But he can’t. I want the marriage that comes with the happily ever after.

My two suitors are exact opposites. Lucas, the corporate hottie, wants me to spend Christmas Eve at his penthouse and Connor, the bad boy rock star, wants to take me to an isolated cabin on Christmas Day. I’ve agreed to both invitations. Hey, a girl has to explore her options. And then everything went wrong. Because who couldn’t see this train wreck coming, asides from me? Both guys wanted to see me on New Year's Eve, each one sliding a naughty note under my door promising copious amounts of spiced eggnog and an even spicier night

Dr. Xander Kane. Sexy. Charming. Wealthy...the stuff all girls' dreams are made of. Until an accident destroyed his memory of me. Our sizzling connection wouldn’t have lasted. That’s a lie. He doesn’t remember me, the last 12 years, or that I was next to him during the accident. I’m trying to get over him...until he becomes the newest surgeon on staff. Our chemistry’s still explosive. The accident didn’t steal one ounce of it. I try to escape him. He keeps pulling me back to him. And his past is going to derail our future....

Grant Foster is organized, focused, and hardworking—or as his younger sister calls it, neurotic. When the opportunity of a lifetime—becoming the Vice President of Marketing—is within his grasp, he is determined to succeed. He must rely on the help of an accomplished and beautiful coworker to achieve his goal. A coworker who is as distracting as she is talented.

Britney Baldwin, the gorgeous golden-haired daughter of Senator Christopher Baldwin and the future heiress of Baldwin Stocks is completely off-limits. But Patrick can't stop thinking about her. She is epitome of grace, beauty, and sensuality. And every time his eyes land on her, all he can think is how much he wants to mark her as his own. Pat knows that acting on whatever feelings he has for Brit will be his downfall because she is his step-sister.
