The night they all gather, Baxter is found dead, the cookbook has disappeared, and Savannah becomes the suspect du jour.

Now she’ll have to turn up the heat on the investigation before Chef Savannah finds herself slinging hash in a prison cafeteria.

Conhecia tudo exceto o desejo Grace Farrel era, em primeiro lugar, uma investigadora científica, e em segundo lugar, uma mulher... até que conheceu Logan Sutherland. O milionário de origem humilde, que subira na vida pelo seu próprio esforço, era, simplesmente, irresistível. E com ele, Grace descobriu um sentimento completamente novo: o desejo.

Part of the fun involves a séance, but after the lights flicker, one guest is dead, poisoned by a cocktail intended for Grace. It seems someone is determined to turn Grace’s playful palatial estate into a house of horrors.

With Grace in great peril, “must-read” takes on a whole new meaning, as Brooklyn tries to stop a murderer who’s through playing around…

Un parfum de volupté, Kate Carlisle Depuis que Grace s’est installée à Alleria, une sublime île des Caraïbes, bordée de palmiers descendant sur une mer turquoise, elle a l’impression de revivre. Aussi compte-t-elle bien y rester le plus longtemps possible, même si elle doit pour cela travailler pour Logan Sutherland, l’homme le plus arrogant qu’elle ait jamais rencontré – et accessoirement, le propriétaire de l’île. Malheureusement, leur collaboration est immédiatement des plus houleuses. Logan, non content de lui faire des avances, se montre particulièrement dur à son égard et ne cesse de relever ses erreurs : si elle ne lui a pas prouvé qu’elle est une employée modèle d’ici une semaine, elle devra quitter l’île... Ce lien interdit, Charlene Sands En franchissant les portes du ranch Worth, Trisha ne peut réprimer un frisson. Et dire qu’elle a parcouru tout le pays avec sa petite Meggie dans les bras, pour venir demander le divorce à son mari, sur les terres qu’elle a tant aimées !

Hélas, alors qu’elle a tout fait pour oublier Clay, elle sent immédiatement son désir pour lui renaître, et l’embraser. Et son trouble est d’autant plus intense que, de son côté, Clay semble résolu à la considérer comme ce qu’elle est encore aux yeux de la loi : son épouse légitime...

A aventura do milionário… Casar e ter filhos? Cameron Duke não estava interessado. No entanto, uma aventura com Julia Parish mudara tudo. Ao descobrir que a linda pasteleira tinha um filho seu, as suas prioridades mudaram. E ia casar com ela e reconhecer o seu filho. Mas ia manter o seu coração a salvo. Julia nunca tinha sequer pensado na hipótese de um casamento de conveniência. Sempre amara Cameron e tornar-se sua mulher fora uma proposta demasiado tentadora, mas como esposa e mãe rapidamente percebeu que queria mais do seu novo marido: queria amor.

Lo conocía todo salvo el deseo Grace Farrell era una investigadora científica primero, una mujer en segundo lugar… hasta que conoció a Logan Sutherland. El multimillonario hecho a sí mismo era sencillamente irresistible y, con él, Grace descubriría algo que no había experimentado hasta entonces: qué se sentía al desear a un hombre. Logan se había fijado en Grace desde el momento que llegó a su isla tropical, pero al descubrir que estaba allí bajo premisas falsas le ordenó que se marchase. Y, enfrentado a su obstinada negativa, el cínico soltero decidió aprovecharla a su favor. Dejaría que se quedase… en su cama. Pero ¿una sola noche sería suficiente?

Chi è la sensuale sirena che si aggira per l''ufficio di Brandon Duke? Non può certo essere la seria e irreprensibile Kelly Meredith. Lei è la segretaria perfetta, ma in quanto a fascino lascia molto a desiderare. Eppure qualcosa, o qualcuno, l''ha trasformata in una creatura provocante e Brandon non vede l''ora di scoprirne il motivo. Una nuova acconciatura e dei vestiti sexy ed eleganti non sono sufficienti a mutare una quieta bellezza in una donna indimenticabile e Kelly lo sa bene. Se vuole riuscire a vendicarsi del suo ex dovrà andare oltre l''apparenza e sfoderare modi seducenti e baci da capogiro. Lei, tuttavia, non è certo un''esperta in materia, le ci vorrebbe qualche lezione. Da quel fusto del suo capo, per esempio.

Tendres mensonges, Michelle Celmer Tandis qu’elle regarde s’approcher l’élégante silhouette de Nathan Everette, Ana est soudain partagée entre une immense angoisse et une furieuse envie de se jeter dans ses bras. Jamais, lui semble-t-il, Nathan n’a été aussi beau, aussi sexy. Mais même si elle brûle de lui dire à quel point il lui a manqué durant leur longue séparation et à quel point elle le désire encore, elle sait que, au lieu de tout cela, il lui faudra mentir et feindre l’indifférence. Car Nathan ne doit rien savoir des sentiments qu’elle éprouve pour lui, tout comme il ne doit absolument pas se douter du secret qu’elle lui cache depuis maintenant plusieurs mois... Pour te séduire, Kate Carlisle Propriétaire d’un immense empire hôtelier, Brandon Duke a une règle d’or : ne jamais mélanger l’amour et les affaires. Et c’est précisément pour cette raison qu’il a embauché comme assistante Kelly, une jeune femme sérieuse et un peu froide, qui ne l’attire pas le moins du monde. Il est donc sous le choc lorsque, un matin, Kelly se présente dans son bureau vêtue d’une robe incroyablement sexy, juchée sur des talons vertigineux, une cascade de boucles soyeuses lui balayant les épaules... Un changement d’attitude chez Kelly qu’il ne s’explique pas. Pas plus qu’il ne s’explique l’étrange sentiment, aussi violent qu’irrepresssible, qui soudain l’envahit... Célibataire à la carte, Sandra Chastain Pour plaire à son employeur, très soucieux des conventions, Anne s’est inventé une vie rangée de fille sans histoires, avec un fiancé bien sous tous rapports. Le stratagème fonctionne jusqu’à ce que son patron souhaite rencontrer le fiancé en question...

Aidan Duke sa di essere una preda ambita per le donne. Quello che non immagina è che la sua stessa madre abbia deciso di dargli il tormento affinché convoli a giuste nozze. Di chi fidarsi quindi? Dei suoi fratelli, certo, vittime al pari di lui degli stessi intrighi matrimoniali. Della sua nuova segretaria, invece... Potrebbe anche lei far parte del complotto? Un modo per scoprirlo ci sarebbe. Trish James ha un piano preciso: diventare l''assistente di Aidan, carpire qualche segreto compromettente del suo capo e screditarlo, prendendosi la rivincita per un torto subito in passato. Solo che non è così facile, soprattutto perché l''uomo di cui vorrebbe vendicarsi sembra deciso a sedurla.

El primer paso: mezclar los negocios con el placer ¿Nuevo peinado? ¿Maquillaje? ¿Un vestido? ¿Dónde había estado su eficiente secretaria? Porque la mujer que había delante de Brandon Duke no era la Kelly Meredith que se había ido de vacaciones dos semanas antes. Estaba atónito, y encantado, por su transformación. Ella decía que el cambio de imagen era parte de su plan… para ser más seductora. Y el millonario era el hombre perfecto para darle a su ayudante unas cuantas lecciones de amor. Lo haría despacio, saboreando cada momento, y luego diría adiós… ¡si podía!

"Wie bitte? Ich soll Sie küssen?" Brandon Duke traut seinen Ohren kaum, als seine Sekretärin Kelly vor ihm steht. Seufzend erklärt sie ihm, dass ihr Exfreund in die Stadt kommt und sie ihre Kuss-Technik verbessern muss, weil sie ihn wieder für sich gewinnen will! Und der Playboy Brandon scheint ihr ein geeigneter Lehrmeister. Dem reichen Unternehmer wird schnell klar, dass er ihrer Bitte zu gerne nachkommen würde. Doch nur ein Kuss, das reicht ihm nicht: Die süße Kelly soll das Bett mit ihm teilen und keinen Gedanken mehr an ihren Ex verschwenden ...

Soon, additional pieces of correspondence are discovered between the covers of other Jane Austen titles, each hinting at sordid secrets—and, perhaps, murder…
