Win Halliday lives an extraordinary life. When he moves, the rest of the world moves with him. As the heir to the Halliday name and fortune, Win''s entire life has been carefully orchestrated from the moment he came into the world. He''s never been allowed to aspire for anything outside that plan, including love. After the tragedy that followed his younger brother chasing his foolish heart, the Halliday Matriarch insists on picking a bride that''s up to her outrageously high standards. Unfortunately, for all the eager bachelorettes, the only woman Win would ever consider marrying isn''t found anywhere on his mother''s list. He''s got his eye on the exceptionally ordinary, Channing Harvey. There''s so much history and hatred between the two of them, that a happily ever after is impossible. Win doesn''t need forever, he just needs to get his tyrannical mother off his back. Channing''s not interested in his millions or his ridiculous contract marriage offer, but she''s about to learn that Win Halliday is relentless. This is the first decision Win has made with only himself in mind, and nothing''s going to stop him from getting what he wants. They''re getting married, and God help whoever gets in Win''s way - including his very reluctant bride-to-be. The only monsters found within this novel are of the human variety. But they''re still scary!

Skutečný hrdina dokáže opravit cokoli...*Hudson Wheeler je milý chlapík, který dokáže opravit všechno, co dostane do rukou, zvlášť stará auta ze šedesátých let. Má však smůlu v osobních vztazích, a když se ukáže, že ho jeho snoubenka a dlouholetá láska podvádí, je nucen zrušit chystanou svatbu. Jeho zklamání a rozháranost však trvají jen do chvíle, kdy se setká s Poppy Cruzovou, jejíž smutné oči září z nejkrásnější tváře, jakou kdy viděl. S Poppy to však není snadné, protože po tom, co jí muži v jejím životě krutě ublížili, je odhodlaná držet si je všechny bez výjimky od těla a jen tak si před nimi zajistit bezpečí. Wheelerův sexy úsměv a ruce drsné z restaurování starých klasik by ji tedy neměly uchvátit, ale pokaždé, když je s ním, si nemůže pomoct a něco ji k němu táhne. A přestože se bojí komukoliv znovu důvěřovat, brzy si uvědomí, že by mohla udělat ještě větší chybu, kdyby se před Wheelerem uzavřela. Postupně tak přichází na to, že její poškozené srdce potřebuje pořádnou opravu, a čím víc času tráví s Wheelerem, tím víc je přesvědčená, že on je jediný, který to může dokázat.

Čtenářsky přitažlivý příběh ze současnosti, v němž se střetávají životní postoje atraktivního profesionálního právníka a osobité krajně emancipované ženy. *Každý hrdina má svůj příběh...*Světy Avett Walkerové a Quaida Jacksona jsou natolik rozdílné, že není důvod, aby se střetávaly. Quaid je velmi úspěšný advokát v oboru kriminálních případů, pohledný a uhlazený muž, zatímco Avett je potížistka s růžovými vlasy a pochybnou minulostí po boku pochybných mužů. Právě ten poslední jí způsobí největší problém, v jakém se kdy ocitla, a jediný, kdo ji z něj může dostat, je sexy právník. Jenže Avett si v žádném případě nepřeje být citově závislá na tvrdém nesmlouvavém advokátovi. Přesto na něm nachází něco, co ji nutí přesvědčit ho, aby si uvolnil kravatu a trochu se pobavil... s ní.

A jak tedy vedle sebe koexistují při řešení Avettina případu, budou muset také najít způsob, jak spolu vycházet i v osobním životě a zároveň se od sebe držet dál – neboť prostor mezi nimi je zcela nabitý emocemi.

Nový milostný román autorky, kterou zajímají nekonvenční hrdinové a postavy mimo střední proud literatury a kultury.*Na opravdového hrdinu se vyplatí počkat...*Všichni ostatní v životě Dixie Carmichaelové se dokázali snadno zamilovat a teď je připravená usilovat o svou šanci na šťastný život ona.

Už nebude svádět toho zvláštního zamračeného muže, i když je tak sexy, a taky nebude čekat, až si ji najde ten pravý; vydá se sama na lov..., i když ví, že její srdce uvízlo v pošetilém poblouznění Dashem Churchillem.Denver byl pro Churcha vždycky jen zastávkou na cestě zpátky na venkov v Mississippi. Mělo to být bez problémů, ale to by mu nesměla padnout do oka veselá, temperamentní zrzka s laníma očima a úžasnými křivkami. Teď už však ví, že je čas z Denveru rychle vypadnout, protože pro muže, zvyklého žít ve stínu, je představa, že by měl trávit dny na slunci, děsivá.Dixie si uvědomuje, že zatímco zamilovat se je snadné, milovat stojí mnohem víc námahy..., zvlášť když ten pravý je přesvědčený, že se k ní vůbec nehodí.

The Best Bad Things is a modern romance, set in the world of The Point. It features a hint of magical realism, and a ton of steamy romance that spans across class barriers, as well as space and time. Nothing is as it seems.

Atraktivní příběh dvou povahově i společensky rozdílných a vyhraněných osobností je vyprávěn na pozadí současné americké reality. *Někdy se stane, že vás opravdový hrdina nechá, abyste se zachránili sami. * Snad nelze najít rozdílnější osobnosti, než je Sayer Coleová a Zeb Fuller. Ona, advokátka z vyšších společenských vrstev, jež tráví své dny s klienty v kanceláři nebo soudní síni, on, samorost, který se živí rukama a stačil už projít i vězením. Nic z toho však Zeba neodradí, aby od chvíle, kdy elegantní blondýnku poprvé uviděl, po ní netoužil – dokonce i tehdy, když se zdá, že rezervovaná advokátka je vůči jeho zájmu netečná. Sayer je přesvědčená, že tak tvrdý a atraktivní muž jako Zeb nemůže stát o uhlazenou a citově zdrženlivou ženu, ačkoliv jí něco říká, že právě tento člověk by mohl konečně rozpustit led jejího zevnějšku a vnést do jejího života novou vášeň. Když pak za ní Zeb přijde s žádostí o profesní pomoc, cítí zároveň úlevu i zklamání, že nedostane šanci poznat, jak skvělý by mohl být. Ale poté, co spojí své síly při nápravě zla a zachrání jistou rodinu, střet ohně a ledu už nelze ignorovat.

Ry Archer and Bowe Keller are as different as night and day. That doesn''t mean they don''t share similar struggles. At the moment, both are realizing the reality of getting closer and closer to reaching their dreams and aspirations is very much not living up to all the hype. The childhood cohorts always seem to connect when one of them needs help figuring out any of life''s major puzzles, like figuring out why getting what you always thought you wanted isn''t all it''s cracked up to be. They might constantly rub each other the wrong way (except for when they rubbed each other really-really right), but there is no denying they''ve always made one hell of a great team. For Ry, he thought he had the perfect girl, the one who was going to run headfirst into a meticulously and methodically planned future. He was going to marry young and have the same kind of legendary, life-long romance his parents did... or so he believed. His girl was going to stand by his side as he chased his dream of being a professional football player all the way to the NFL. He was wrong. Now, Ry''s gotta figure out the difference between a bruised heart and a broken one, and the only person who can teach him the difference is Bowe. Bowe always felt like she had to run before she learned to walk to keep up with her father''s musical legacy. He''s her hero, and she wants nothing more than to make him proud. Bowe''s about to figure out that maybe she wasn''t meant to be in a rock and roll band and that it is entirely possible she let her father''s dream and road to success cloud her own idea of what making music should be. Bowe needs to find her own way to fame, and there''s a good chance she wouldn''t be brave enough or bold enough to start over if Ry Archer hadn''t pushed his way back into her life when she least expected it. Some days they''re enemies. Some days they''re lovers. For a while, they were strangers. But now, it feels more like they might''ve always been soulmates. At the end of the day, both will realize that letting go of an old dream and creating a new one is much easier to do with the right person by your side.

Unfortunately, nothing about her life in Loveless, Texas -- especially not the wild, rowdy, and impossibly close-knit Lawton family who''ve claimed her -- is quiet or calm.
