What’s the worst present you can get for your 45th birthday? An online dating profile you didn’t want. And Mack was all set to delete it, until a message from Hayden lands in his inbox. Hayden decided the best way to celebrate ending a long, loveless marriage was to have a one-night stand. Pity she didn’t count on a sexy fire chief foiling her plans. Neither of them wanted a relationship; such a shame fate didn’t get the memo.

A little harmless flirting never hurt anyone. Unless you cross the line and have a one-night stand with your best friend’s sister. And if that didn’t complicate things enough, her crazy ex-boyfriend is stalking her as well. Should have stayed just friends, but it’s probably a little late for that now.

Sarah Madison loved working at Baldwin & Blake. While she looked and, for the most part, acted conservatively, she was a gladiator in the boardroom. She was finally offered the promotion she’d been vying for. But she had to share it with a new guy they brought in especially for the role. Kyle Drake was probably just as good, if not better, in negotiations. Add in good-looking and an incredibly sexy smooth talker. Which Sarah could have totally ignored if he hadn’t been the stranger she’d married in Vegas during a fake ceremony six months earlier.

Kenzie Clark had made plenty of mistakes. The tough-talking guitarist from Brooklyn, NY worked hard so she could play even harder. But some mistakes weren’t so easy to walk away from. Joey Shaw, the drummer for Black Addiction, was exactly that kind of a mistake. How could one night of fun turn into a life-long commitment? That’s exactly what Joey was asking himself when Kenzie showed up a few weeks later - the soon-to-be baby bump with his name written all over it.

Lauren Harper wanted four things. Respect. Success. Happiness. And to annihilate Roman Pierce. Sure, he was a smooth, smart and sexy attorney who made the senior partners at their law firm cream their pants. But he was also an annoying cocky jerk who she'd been competing with since they had both been hired over a year ago. And Lauren didn't care how amazing his smile was or how hot his body was underneath that suit - the firm-sponsored fun run had a lot to answer for - he was a ruthless, ambitious prick who would stop at nothing to climb the corporate ladder.

Lila Callan had an unconventional upbringing - unavoidable when your mother owns a brothel. But while she'd inherited some of her parents' 'wacky and offbeat', she was also strong, independent, and incredibly intelligent. The fact that she was tall, beautiful and blond was a bonus she never really cared to exploit. She wasn't uptight; it's just that long term was more her thing, with zero interest in one-night stands. Until she met Ryan York and then she isn't so sure.

Tia Monroe was smart, sassy, and successful. Sure, she could get a little crazy at times - life around Tia was never boring - but that was part of her appeal. And while she didn't see herself as classically beautiful, she had no shortage of options in the boyfriend department. She just hadn't found one who held her interest. Until she laid eyes on Eric Larsson, and then it was lust at first sight. He packed the perfect mix of smoldering sexy and unapologetic cool into his blond-haired, blue-eyed, ridiculously hot six-foot-four frame.

While Beth Hart had enjoyed being the sometimes girlfriend of Max Reynolds - the hot bass player for Black Addiction - she knew it would never be more than a casual fling. He was destined for greatness, and she cared too much to hold him back. So, before she lost her heart and her sanity, she said goodbye to the Bronx, moved to Manhattan, and left her party-girl days in the past - along with Max.

Lexi Reed was unstoppable, or so she thought. As the PR manager of international rock band Power Station, she was a long way from her old life in Melbourne. Married to one of the sexiest men alive (Power Station’s guitarist, Alex Stone), she was living beyond any fantasy she could have imagined. And after finally allowing the walls from her past to fall, she had learned to trust again. But her happiness is short lived when heartache and trauma throw everything she knows into turmoil. Her world comes crashing down around her, and now she’s struggling to regain her sense of self.

White Trash Circus will be taking an extended break and won’t be playing any time in the foreseeable future. Please lodge all your complaints to my guitarist - and my ex-best friend - who I found inside the girlfriend I’ve had since high school. I will pull the freaking knife from my back and continue - without either of them - when the time is right. With enough hate and anger coursing through my veins to keep me in therapy for life, I’m going to save my cash and let the music heal me.

Touring as an opening act for a huge rock band and landing a record contract means you’ve hit the big time, right? Sadly, neither of those things gave Rusty Crawford, lead guitarist of the band Black Addiction, worldwide fame and fortune. Which was a shame because he had the lifestyle down to a fine art - without the clichéd stint in rehab. Even being back in the Bronx paying his dues didn’t rattle the charismatic axe man. Alison Williams had the perfect life. Or at least she did until her world came crashing down around her, in the most epic way.

Lexi is a successful PR manager for a multinational firm based in Melbourne, Australia. She is an energetic and impulsive soul whose passions sometimes control her life. Through a twist of fate, she is chosen to represent a famous client, catapulting her into a new life in New York that fulfills her in a way she had never imagined. When Lexi meets Alex, sparks fly. Their chemistry is explosive, and they can’t get enough of each other.

Lexi and Alex’s passion for each other shows no signs of waning, but the road ahead is by no means easy. While Lexi loves Alex, she struggles to retain her individual identity while being a partner in a high-profile relationship. On her first international tour as Power Station’s publicist and Alex’s official girlfriend, Lexi is initiated into the crazy lifestyle of a rock star. Despite all the pressure, Lexi realizes that their relationship is worth fighting for, and she no longer wants to be alone.

While both Kitty and Dallas were at the top of their game professionally - she, a high-powered executive assistant, and he, one of the best tattooists in the city - their personal lives had become a dumpster fire. No one in their right mind would have suggested they join forces to help each other wade through the crazy. Surely that’d be a recipe for disaster? But without reason, logic, or even sanity on their side, they decided to do it anyway.

Those were the words used to describe Eve Thorton’s exhibition. Not even a fine-arts degree from Yale or her daddy’s bank account could save her from the scathing reviews. And failure was a word Eve would never be comfortable with - not even close. Plotting the demise of every critic who’d written her off was her first instinct. But that would come later. Instead, she would show them that she wasn’t a bored socialite with more money than talent. She would prove everyone wrong, and she wasn’t afraid to get her hands dirty.

Landing a writing gig in Hollywood was just as difficult as becoming an actor, and something Claire Becker had learned the hard way. Sure, she didn’t have to conform to ridiculous beauty standards and give up her love for raw cookie dough, but the sting of rejection burned all the same. The only things that kept her sane were her two amazing roommates and her guilty pleasure - writing fan-fiction. Getting lost in her own world, she’d forget that she had yet to land her dream job, and instead spent time with her dream man - Nick Larsson. Well, at least in the literary sense.

It was easy to fall in love with a Larsson - seriously, who could resist any one of those boys? And while each them had taken turns featuring as Maya’s adolescent crush, there was only one of them who had been her best friend. Alex Larsson. She’d loved him the most, convinced they’d be friends forever. Which might have happened if Maya’s father hadn’t been a shady criminal with a mistress on the side. Banished from LA meant leaving her old life behind, forgetting those perfect Larsson boys and her best friend.

Working in Hollywood meant Jessica Dawson was used to lying. But it never spilled into her personal life, until three months ago when she told the biggest lie of all. While her dear gran lay on her deathbed, Jessica mentioned she’d met her soul mate. It had been Gran’s last wish to see all her grandkids settled down before she went to see Jesus. And as the only one still single, Jessica didn’t have the heart to disappoint her. No one expected Gran to make a miraculous recovery. Now, Gran was expecting to meet Jessica’s perfect man at her cousin’s wedding.

A note, a pair of panties, and a date. When Quinn’s efforts to set up her best friend go awry, she finds herself with a crazy blind date. Could the mystery man be her soul mate? Nothing like an adventure, and at the very least, she is going to have some fun with it.

Lila Callan wurde unkonventionell erzogen—unvermeidlich, wenn die Mutter ein Bordell besitzt. Aber obwohl sie einiges von ihren Eltern geerbt hatte, war sie auch stark, unabhängig und unglaublich intelligent. Die Tatsache, dass sie groß, schön und blond war, war ein Bonus, den sie nie wirklich ausnutzen wollte. Sie war nicht verklemmt, aber sie hatte kein Interesse an One-Night-Stands, sondern eher an langfristigen Beziehungen.
