New Releases by Lucy Score

Just because I don''t run around with a stupid grin on my face all day every day doesn''t mean I''m grumpy. Ryan Sosa, grumpy former corporate accountant, has had it up to here with surprises. He didn''t see getting fired coming. And he certainly didn''t anticipate flying across the country to the world''s hippie-est, happiest, most annoying town to save his great-uncle from some mysterious emergency. Not only is there actual snow on the ground, it also appears that elves on psychedelics have decked Blue Moon''s halls. But he doesn''t have time to be snarky about the impending Winter Solstice and Multicultural Holiday Celebration--whatever the hell that is. Not when he''s got a farm to save, a free-range sheep that he may or may not have nudged with his stupid microscopic rental car, and some small-town veterinarian telling him she can''t take the animal off his hands. Dr. Sammy Ames has a practice to manage and a fundraising crisis to attend to. She doesn''t have time to deal with a big-city grouch who doesn''t remember being her first kiss ever. Especially not since he wants to dump a sheep named Stan on her. So not happening. No matter how cute--and pantless--Ryan is when he''s drunk. Besides, as soon as he solves his uncle''s problem, he''ll be on the first flight out of Blue Moon, never to return again. It will take a Winter Solstice Miracle or perhaps some matchmaking interference from the Beautification Committee to get these two to see eye-to-eye under the mistletoe...unless he''s the wrong Ryan after all.

Newsflash. You don''t buy me, a$#%^*e. You earn me. The bride is a doll. The groom is the perfect gentleman. But the rest of the wedding party? They''re the stuff of nightmares. Rich? Check. Vapid? Double Check. Entitled? Not enough checks in the world. And the Best Man? More like the Worst Man. But Maid of Honor Franchesca takes her duties seriously. Kidnapped groom? She''s got this. Rude attendees? You just watch her handle them. So a Best Man with a big attitude and an even bigger...checkbook? Yeah, there''s no way she''s going to let that pretentious, judgmental jackhole ruin her best friend''s wedding. No matter how sexy he is. (Well, that''s the plan anyway...) Aiden Kilbourn doesn''t do long-term relationships. He''s busy ruling the business world, and has yet to find a woman he can tolerate for longer than a month, two at the outside, anyway. Conquering the unconquerable is basically his bread and butter. And he hasn''t met a challenge that he can''t win. But Franchesca Baranski? This smart-mouthed girl from Brooklyn may just be his downfall.

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Things We Left Behind, comes a steamy small-town romance between a straight-laced house renovator and the sexy landscaper determined to break down her walls. Can these opposites turn up the heat… without burning down the house? House-flipping sensation and YouTube star Maggie Nichols can’t wait to dig into her next challenge. Arriving in tiny Kinship, Idaho, with only a cot and a coffeemaker, Maggie is prepared to restore a crumbling Victorian mansion in four months or less. She has her to-do lists, her blueprints, and her team. What she doesn’t have is time for sexy, laid-back landscaper Silas Wright. The man takes flirtation to a whole new level. And he does it shirtless…sometimes pants-less. He and his service school-dropout dog are impressively persistent. But she’s not interested in putting down roots. Not when fans tune in to watch her travel the country turning dilapidated houses into dream homes. A short-term fling on the other hand could fit nicely into her calendar. After all, Maggie remembers what fun is like. Vaguely. As their summer gets downright steamy, Silas manages to demolish the emotional walls she’s spent years building, sending Maggie into a panic. He’s the wrench in her carefully constructed plans. With the end of the project looming, she has a decision to make. But how can she stay when her entire career is built on moving on?

Désagréable au bureau comme dans sa vie personnelle, ce client d''un soir bouleverse la vie d''Ally, désormais complètement désemparée.

L’ho fatta licenziare. Ok, avevo avuto una brutta giornata e me la sono presa con una sconosciuta in una pizzeria. Ma non è che Ally Morales fosse poi così innocente. L’ha dimostrato durante il suo primo giorno di lavoro... nel mio ufficio. Sì, perché a quanto pare mia madre ha deciso di assumerla. D’accordo, è possibile che con la sua personalità creativa, fantasiosa, inspiegabilmente seducente abbia portato un’energia tutta nuova nella nostra rivista. Ma questo non significa nulla! Mi stuzzica, ogni volta che si mette a discutere con me davanti a tutta la redazione. E come se non bastasse è ospite fissa delle mie fantasie, ben oltre l’orario di lavoro. Ma non sarò l’ennesimo uomo della famiglia ad approfittare di una posizione di supremazia. Sarò anche uno stronzo di seconda generazione, ma non sono come mio padre. Voglio solo capire qual è il segreto che Ally mi nasconde. È un enigma da risolvere. Se riesco a togliermela dalla testa, potrò finalmente tornare al mio obiettivo di tenere alto il buon nome della famiglia.

Csak meg akartalak védeni.... Luke Garrison a szülővárosa hőse, a Nemzeti Gárda tagja, készen áll egy új bevetésre. Erős, kedves és szexi, barátnője nincs, és nem akarja, hogy legyen. Ám amikor az őrjítően gyönyörű Harper bebotladozik az életébe, rájön, hogy a lány a legjobb szemfényvesztés. Kamubarátnő, hogy leszálljon róla a családja, amíg egy újabb küldetés teljesít. De mi van, ha a lány ajkának egyetlen harapása bűnös helyekre repíti a gondolatait? Tud uralkodni magán? Vagy mégsem? Harper - ismét - azon volt, hogy új életet kezdjen. De van valami Luke-ban, ami arra készteti, hogy meg akarjon állapodni ebben a kisvárosban, és otthont varázsoljon a férfi házából. Amikor Luke karja acélként öleli, végre megtudja, milyen érzés biztonságban lenni. Védelem alatt.

Mellesleg ez nem igazi kapcsolat. Mindössze egy hónapra szól. Pusztán színlelés. Amíg nem lesz az...

"He''s the kind of man who would talk you into dropping your panties in a coat closet at a party, dole out orgasms like after dinner mints, and then never call you again." From the Wall Street Journal and #1 Amazon bestselling author comes a new installment to the Blue Moon small town romance series. A womanizing bad boy with a motorcycle and sexy-as-sin smile is not part of Emma''s life plan. She moved cross-country to be close to family and finally settle down in hippie, trippy, nosy Blue Moon Bend. But when famed fashion photographer Niko shows up with his leather jacket, underwear-melting voice, and a problem, she sees nothing but trouble. He''s all wrong for Emma, but that doesn''t stop the attraction from boiling over. Niko doesn''t let being friend zoned get in his way. Once he gets his hands-and his mouth-on her, will their friendship survive? Or will he lose everything he''s worked for back in New York to the redhead who dominates his every thought?

From #1 Amazon bestselling writer of Pretend You''re Mine, Lucy Score delivers once again with the two-book Sinner & Saint story. Xavier Saint''s by-the-book rules are thrown out the window when he finds himself crossing lines to keep his beautiful client in line. His business is protecting clients-often from themselves-and as co-founder of one of the top private security firms in the country, he''s seen it all. But when he''s contracted to protect Waverly Sinner, the stunning and rebellious actress, he finds that some rules are made to be broken. Waverly Sinner is a second-generation Hollywood goddess living in the gilded cage of expectations. She''s reluctantly playing her role while counting down the days to her escape from the life she never chose. But meeting sexy, rule-bound Xavier Saint slams the door shut on her own private prison. She doesn''t trust him and will do anything to shake him loose. Sparks fly and ignite when Waverly and Xavier''s agendas clash. But when a dangerous stalker threatens her life, can Waverly trust Xavier to stand between her and a potential killer? Or will their growing feelings for each other endanger them both? Author''s Note: This is the first novel in a two-book series. The stories take place five years apart so my astute readers can guess that this one doesn''t have the happily ever after we all love. But I promise, I more than make up for it with the conclusion of Xavier and Waverly''s story in Breaking the Rules.

Băieții buni se îndrăgostesc de fete rele Nash Morgan a fost cunoscut dintotdeauna pentru zâmbetul său și gesturile prietenoase față de toată lumea. Însă acum se reface după ce a încasat două gloanțe și farmecul lui sudist este eclipsat de atacuri de panică și de coșmaruri. Simte că a devenit doar umbra celui care a fost cândva. Dar nu e dispus să lase pe cineva să-i descopere slăbiciunea. Numai că noua sa vecină, Lina, inteligentă și sexy, îi observă frământările. Ca regulă generală, Lina nu agreează contactul fizic dacă inițiativa nu-i aparține. Totuși, dintr-un motiv inexplicabil, atingerea lui Nash este altfel. Lucru pe care-l simte și el. Conexiunea fizică dintre ei este incitantă, copleșindu-l pe el și făcând-o pe ea să se întrebe dacă merită riscul de a continua. Din păcate, Lina are propriile secrete și, dacă Nash descoperă adevăratul motiv al venirii ei în oraș, nu o va ierta niciodată. În plus, ea nu se implică în relații. O aventură toridă cu un polițist local? Da, categoric. O relație cu un bărbat care așteaptă de la ea stabilitate? Niciodată. După ce obține ceea ce vrea, Lina nu intenționează să mai rămână prin preajmă. Însă Knockemout are vraja lui aparte. Și odată ce Nash decide s-o cucerească pe Lina, nimic nu-l descurajează… chiar dacă pentru asta trebuie să se confrunte cu pericolul care era cât pe ce să-l ucidă. „Lucy Score scrie povești de dragoste sincere și pline de umor, iar romanul de față nu face excepție.“ – Woman’s World „O carte savuroasă, incitantă și plină de semnificații.
