I was a dead woman. I'd finally had a glimpse of true love, admiration, and the kind of devotion only your soul mate, your other half, could provide - until it was physically ripped away. Taken. My stalker had me, and there was little hope I'd be found. I knew Chase would use all his money and resources to search the ends of the Earth for me, but I knew the monster I was dealing with. Years of looking into the eyes of pure evil gave me the unique experience to know that my situation was dire.

My name is Honor, but I have none to speak of. I’m a high-society princess on the verge of ending it all. I have nothing to show for my life, though my bank account would say otherwise. Money and status has controlled every ounce of my world and I want no part of it. To find a healthier avenue to deal with my grief, I turned to Lotus House Yoga for salvation - and found it in the tall, dark, and brutally attractive Nicholas Salerno. He’s everything I’m not. Lives every day to the fullest, loves his family, and goes after what he wants with a thrust that’s unmatched.

I’m a good person. At least I try to be. After my husband left me, I picked up the pieces of my broken heart and tried to move on. One shattered piece at a time. Just when I thought things were looking up, that I had suffered enough at the hands of fate, my past came back with nothing to lose and a blade that cut...deep. Figuratively and physically scarred, I had nothing left to hold on to. That’s when Clayton Hart entered my world. With his blue eyes, spikey blond hair, and a body packed with muscles, I never stood a chance.

When veteran yoga instructor Mila Mercado was asked to attend a new class and report back to the studio, she had no idea that the over-confident, ruggedly sexy newbie Atlas Powers was going to teach more than just a very controversial and erotic form of yoga.

The second half to this year-long journey has taken me to Magic City...Miami. I've been hired by the nation's top hip-hop artist, Anton Santiago. His name is as sexy as he is, and it rolls off the tongue the same way his muscled form rolls to his music. He goes by the name Latin Lov-ah, and boy does he work that title from his rock-hard body, Latin hip-hop fusion dance moves, to the way he beds his women.

Baseball, beer, and a hot boy. Nothing can beat that. Until I meet Mason "Mace" Murphy the next "it" pitcher for the Boston Red Sox and my client. He's immature, arrogant, sexy as sin, and the last man that's going to get into my panties. He's not used to hearing the word no from women, so I'm going to spell it out for him.

Neither my success as a full-figured lingerie and fashion model nor my street smarts as a born and bred Chicago native safeguarded me against walking into the clutches of a monster. As I try to pull my life back together, I'm brought face-to-face with a man whose wounds mirror my own. Under his protection, I'm gifted the opportunity to find beauty where there has only ever been pain. And yet, danger lurks, as a new evil threatens to bring me to my knees.

“Fly free.” For 10 years those words, written on pink parchment paper in her mother’s beautiful handwriting, have been Suda Kaye Ross’s guiding star. Every year on her birthday, Suda Kaye opens another of the letters her mother penned before she passed, heeding the advice inside as she fills her life with experiences. From Italy to Australia, from Rio to Russia, she’s slaked her wanderlust. And then, on her 28th birthday, she opens the letter that sends her home.

Un homme au service des femmes. Dans ce dernier tome de la série, Skyler et Parker soignent leurs plaies. Ils sont ensemble et heureux de l'être. Une dernière affaire appelle l'agence à Los Angeles, en Californie : Royce et Parker doivent apporter leur expertise et leur expérience professionnelle pour une nouvelle émission de rencontres télévisées. Ce devait être un voyage rapide. Un coup d'avion, quelques jours à L.A. pour faire le boulot, et Parker rentre pour s'occuper de sa femme qui, pendant son absence, doit gérer seule les séquelles de son traumatisme.

A fiancée. I'm going to Chicago to pretend to be some Italian Stallion's future wife. Why a massive hunk, boxer, and rich restaurateur needs a fake bride is beyond me. Then again, I'm not paid to know why. I'm paid $100,000 to be his escort, or in this case, the woman he's supposedly "going" to marry.

Looks as though my hot streak ended when Warren Shipley, one of the nation's wealthiest men, hired me to play arm-candy to save face with the other one-percenters he did business with. At least that's what I thought when I arrived in Washington, DC, until I was met by old man Shipley's debonair and insanely handsome son. The Senator from California, Aaron Shipley. Youngest senator in the history of politics, single, beyond rich, and the face of every political magazine around the US.

Before I took over The Marriage Auction, there wasn’t an extensive vetting process. Some candidates were subjected to horrors that haunt my every waking moment. I vowed to change that. To stand up for those who deserve more and to release them from the wrongs inflicted upon them by circumstance and chance. What my bidders and candidates don’t know is that I understand exactly what they are experiencing. I wasn’t always known as Madam Alana. Once upon a time, I too was purchased in The Marriage Auction… And this is my story.

Avevo bisogno di sparire. Fuggire, nascondermi e schiarirmi le idee lontano da tutto. Essere una poliziotta non è sempre facile, specialmente se sei una donna. Ma questa volta potrebbe essere la mia salvezza: ho appena accettato un incarico sotto copertura, l'occasione perfetta per sparire dalla circolazione. Da qualche mese, infatti, il club di motociclisti Hero's Pride è preso di mira: atti vandalici, intimidazioni e violenze contro i bikers e i loro cari. Il mio compito è quello di spacciarmi per una di loro e consegnare i responsabili alla giustizia.

Per lasciarsi il passato alle spalle, Holly ha attraversato l'oceano. Ha abbandonato l'Inghilterra per raggiungere l'Oregon, diretta verso la prima città degli Stati Uniti in cui ci fosse bisogno urgente di una bibliotecaria. E per la prima volta nella sua vita si è sentita completamente libera. L'unica cosa che voleva era dedicarsi ai libri, senza più preoccupazioni. Poi a una festa piena zeppa di motociclisti, ha incontrato Tank, l'uomo più impulsivo e arrogante che abbia mai conosciuto. È bastato uno sguardo per far divampare l'incendio.

Shane non ha mai dovuto faticare troppo per conquistare una donna. Per lui, ex soldato, membro del club di motociclisti Heros Pride e padre single della piccola Shayna, fare colpo è sempre stato un gioco da ragazzi. Finché non ha incontrato Anya e i suoi occhi azzurri velati di tristezza. Shane ha scoperto a sue spese che Anya non è il genere di ragazza che si lascia abbordare con qualche battutina scontata, ma lui ha un asso nella manica: sua figlia. Anya infatti è la maestra di danza di Shayna, e la bambina ha una vera e propria adorazione per lei.

Mia Saunders braucht Geld. Viel Geld. Eine Million Dollar, um ihren Vater zu retten. Er liegt im Krankenhaus, weil er seine Spielschulden nicht begleichen konnte. Um die Summe aufzutreiben, heuert Mia bei einer Agentur an und lässt sich als Begleitung buchen. Ihre Gesellschaft kostet 100.000 Dollar pro Monat. Sex ist ausdrücklich nicht Teil des Deals – leicht verdientes Geld! Und der Liebe hat Mia sowieso abgeschworen.

Jeder Monat bringt Mia Saunders ihrem Ziel näher, eine Million Dollar für die Rettung ihres Vaters aufzutreiben. Im April ist sie die Begleiterin eines Baseball-Stars, der mehr von ihr will, als im Vertrag steht. Der Bad Boy ist hartnäckig − und höllisch sexy. Im Mai schmelzen Mias gute Vorsätze unter der Sonne Hawaiis dahin − mit dem Samoaner Tai Niko verbindet sie mehr als die gemeinsame Lust. Der Juni bringt einen spannenden Job in Washington D.C., aber auch Gefahr.

Mia hat ihren Auftrag erfüllt, die Schulden ihres Vaters sind bezahlt. Sie kann sich ihren Job nun aussuchen und verbringt den Oktober in ihrer neuen Heimat Malibu − an der Seite des Mannes, den sie liebt. Doch den lassen die Schatten der Vergangenheit nicht los. Mia muss um ihr gemeinsames Glück kämpfen. Und auch in Mias eigenem Leben fehlt ein wichtiges Puzzleteil. Wird sie es finden und ihr vor langer Zeit verwundetes Herz heilen können?

Was als simpler Job begann, ist für Mia Saunders zur Reise ihres Lebens geworden. In Miami dreht sie ein Musikvideo mit Anton Santiago − Sex mit dem Gott des Hip Hop wäre perfekt, um alles zu vergessen. Doch plötzlich kann Mia manche Dinge nicht mehr zulassen ... Als sie im August in Texas die verschollene Schwester eines Ölbarons mimen soll und von dessen Familie warmherzig begrüßt wird, erkennt sie: Liebe kann schlimmer sein als jede Missachtung. Sie macht verwundbar. Im September kehrt Mia in ihre Heimat Las Vegas zurück, um für die Menschen zu kämpfen, die sie liebt.

Al club, tutti mi chiamano "Principessa”. Ma io non sono una ragazzina sdolcinata: odio il rosa, disprezzo regali come fiori e cioccolatini e le passeggiate in spiaggia mi annoiano almeno quanto le cene a lume di candela. Sono uno spirito libero. Adoro divertirmi e passare le notti in sella a una moto. Amo sentire il vento tra i capelli e vedere la strada davanti a me: sono nata motociclista e morirò motociclista. Non ho intenzione di lasciarmi domare da un uomo senza dargli del filo da torcere, ma... se arrivasse qualcuno in grado di farlo, sarei sua per sempre.
