But as tensions between the community and the sheriff’s office grow by the day, Easton’s personal and professional lives collide. And when the issue at hand hits closer to home than either could imagine, they’ll have to work to forge a path forward...together.\nDreamers

"Inclusive, optimistic, and scorching, this romance sends the series out on a high note." --Publishers Weekly, starred review Award-winning author Adriana Herrera delivers hot romance and social justice in equal measure in this sexy contemporary read. Juan Pablo Campos doesn't do regrets. He's living the dream as a physical therapist with his beloved New York Yankees. He has the best friends and family in the world and simply no time to dwell on what could've been. Except when it comes to Priscilla, the childhood friend he's loved for what seems like forever. New York City police detective Priscilla Gutierrez has never been afraid to go after what she wants. Second guessing herself isn't a thing she does. But lately, the once-clear vision she had for herself--her career, her relationships, her life--is no longer what she wants. What she especially doesn't want is to be stuck on a private jet to the Dominican Republic with JuanPa, the one person who knows her better than anyone else. By the end of a single week in paradise, the love/hate thing JuanPa and Pris have been doing for sixteen years has risen to epic proportions. No one can argue their connection is still there. And they can both finally admit--if only to themselves--they've always been a perfect match. The future they dreamed of together is still within reach...if they can just accept each other as they are.

"Hot, heartwarming, and hilarious...This is a knockout." --Publishers Weekly, starred review Award-winning, highly-acclaimed author Adriana Herrera delivers the sexy, modern enemies-to-lovers romance you've been waiting for. Starting over is more about who you're with than where you live... Julia del Mar Ortiz is not having the best year. She moved to Dallas with her boyfriend, who ended up ditching her and running back to New York after only a few weeks. Left with a massive--by NYC standards, anyway--apartment and a car lease in the scorching Texas heat, Julia is struggling...except that's not completely true. Running the charitable foundation of one of the most iconic high fashion department stores in the world is serious #lifegoals. It's more than enough to make her want to stick it out down South. The only monkey wrench in Julia's plans is the blue-eyed, smart-mouthed consultant the store hired to take them public. Fellow New Yorker Rocco Quinn's first order of business? Putting Julia's job on the chopping block. When Julia is tasked with making sure Rocco sees how valuable the programs she runs are, she's caught between a rock and a very hard set of abs. Because Rocco Quinn is almost impossible to hate--and even harder to resist.
