Alaiya
In the wake of my shattered marriage, I found myself at a crossroads, finally free to pursue my own desires. Filing for divorce was my chance to break loose and do what I want to do. You know what they say about best laid plans… I didn’t plan on him, though.
I tried to refrain myself, but he’s weakening my resistance. Especially when he shows up at my door with desire in his eyes and one of the items from my celebratory divorce list in his hand.

The game is set, and my goal is clear. Getting her to fall will require challenging every expectation. Convincing her to risk everything will mean breaking every rule. Yet, persuading her to take a chance at a love that defies all odds will be essential in winning her forever.

I know exactly what I want in life and it took me a long time to figure it out. I want her. Rezi Stone. My sexy, strong-willed ex. Some might say I’ve orchestrated our reunion.

We may be forced together for awhile, but the issues that drove us apart linger in the air like an unspoken truth. Rediscovering love is not an option when pain runs this deep.

Raphael:
To most, I’m the black sheep of my family. Owning Weed the People, an upscale marijuana dispensary located in the heart of D.C., hasn’t helped clean up my image. I don’t care. My main concern is growing my business. Until a chance encounter brings me face-to-face with the one that got away, twice. Ashlynn Harrison is smart, funny, caring, beautiful, and the newly appointed chief vintner of Harrison Family Vineyards. Under the guise of partnering with HFV to create a cannabis-infused wine, I’m determined to show Ashlynn why the third time’s the charm.
Ashlynn:
I spent the last five years traveling the world, learning how to be a better winemaker while running away from the pain of heartbreak. Now, I’m back home as HFV’s newest—and first woman—chief vintner. With much to prove and my work cut out for me, a collaboration with Raphael Reed sounds tempting, much like the man himself. It could also set me apart from the vintners before me. However, with our not-so-complicated complicated history, working together could have us on Cloud Nine or cause more than one relationship to go up in smoke.

As far as homecomings go, Ronan “Ro” Simmons, couldn’t have asked for a better one when the woman he’d convinced himself he could never have, ends up in his bed. But helping Sariya with her new business venture and falling in love with Sariya are two different things and that age-old warning of never mixing business with pleasure soon becomes his reality.

Crimson
Over my lifetime, people have labeled me as a conceded S.O.B and they might be right. Being the bastard son of the late Mr. Cromwell, I inherited one of the most successful cannabis cultivation centers in the northern hemisphere.
I also inherited my I-don’t-give-a-damn attitude from my estranged father, which may cost me my business. After my public breakup with America’s sweetheart, I lost many clients. My only saving grace is a favorable rating from the renowned cannabis critic, SmokinLady. Her articles make or break careers. There’s just one major problem.
She hates my guts.
After one stupid decision over fifteen years ago, things were never the same between us. She thinks I’m an insensitive jerk and I think she’s an uptight killjoy. If I can convince her to forget about the past, there’s hope for my farm. But when the smoke clears, will this gorgeous woman still hate me? Or will she realize that we need each other in more ways than one?

When the first man who broke her heart is the one to mend it…
If there’s one thing former NFL player Jace Legend loves, it’s a confident, sexy woman who’s not afraid to stand her ground with him. Especially when it’s his new reluctant business partner in his latest venture, which joins his two favs: good food and good smoke.
If there’s one thing that the decidedly single, Chef Spirit Kimble hates, it’s an arrogant man who believes he has all the answers. Especially when that man just happens to be the boy who tormented her in high school and now has invested in her failing restaurant without her knowledge.
While Jace is convinced that his idea of an upscale cannabis-infused restaurant will be a success, Spirit is sure the idea will fail in a state known for conservatism and cowboys. As they work tirelessly together to open Embers in time for 4/20 day, Jace and Spirit bump heads at every turn. Until they realize that their fiery clashes are a recipe for the passionate love neither ever knew they craved.
