Cinnamon Roll Hero (sin-a-mon roll he-ro): ( n ) a hero who is too sweet for this world...but will fight to the death for the people they care about Nick: My job has always had its challenges. When you come into a failing business and tell the owner all the changes they should make, tensions always run high. But Faith may take the cake on the most difficult-which is fitting since I'm helping her struggling bakery. She's hard-headed, stubborn, and a sharp pain in my side. Despite how obnoxious she may be, she somehow has taken up permanent residence in my mind. I find myself doing things I normally wouldn't just to try get on her good side. I wonder what it would be like to kiss her hard enough to make her drop the attitude-or if that's even possible. Faith: Nick Winters is infuriating. I don't care how good looking he is; I won't have a stranger come in and try to change the bakery where my grandma built her legacy. Between running a business and taking care of my five-year-old daughter, I don't have time for all of this. But since my investors deemed it necessary for this man's help, I guess I have to play ball. Unfortunately, I really, really hate sports.

When the spark finally lights, will it be a full blown explosion, or will it just fizzle out?

Annie - My entire life has been spent taking care of other people-an absent husband, our four kids, and a gaggle of grandkids.

When an unexpected snowstorm hits and leaves me stranded in a cabin with my high school boyfriend, I finally start to remember. All these years later, Abe is still strong and sweet...and did I mention sexy? The real question is how do I mix my newfound happiness with my already-established life? Abe - Annie Mitchell...the girl who got away. We were crazy about each other back in the day, and then, we went our separate ways to have our own happily ever afters.

Luke: After my parents died when I was eighteen, I found that running from my problems was easier than dealing with my feelings- even if it was as drastic as moving across the country. After a while, I realize that the loneliness doesn't cut it for me anymore, and I end up back in small-town, Tennessee, trying to find my roots. Instead, I find a cute, feisty caterer that I can't stop thinking about after she covers me in cupcakes. Literally. No matter how hard I try, I can't stop thinking about Nicole and that scares me because suddenly I realize that I'd do absolutely anything in the world to keep her in mine. Nicole: I've never been one to do what is expected of me. Like conforming to my mother's beliefs that I should act a certain way, settle down, get married, and start having babies. It's not that I'm against the idea- it's just not for me. Or at least I didn't think it was until a hot, new stranger comes to town and practically sweeps me off of my feet. Suddenly, settling down doesn't sound so bad. Just when I think this could be my happily ever after, one knock on the door changes absolutely everything. ***All the Right Ideas is a steamy small-town romance. It is book six in the series but can be read as a complete standalone***

Erin: Nope. No. Absolutely not. That's what I keep telling myself because there's no way that the hot, tattooed Tanner who is eight years my junior is into me. I'm a mom of three. I have more baggage than an airport and enough junk in my trunk to match. Yet this guy shows up to tell me how amazing he thinks I am. That's crazy, right? I should walk away. But that's easier said than done. Did I mention he has a pierced tongue?Tanner: From the moment I saw her singing karaoke, I knew I had to get to know Erin. But I never figured she'd agree to a no-strings-attached weekend together. The problem is that I don't want it to be no-strings-attached because the more I get to know her, the more I like her. It doesn't bother me that she has kids or a crazy ex-husband. All I care about is showing her how wonderful she is. After her awful marriage, she deserves that. And if she can bring down her walls enough to let me in, I vow to show her that every single day.**All of the Samson Boys books can be read as standalones**
