New Releases by Rachel Gibson

Autumn sucht in Las Vegas das Glück – und findet einen Ehemann ... Autumn Haven hatte eigentlich vor, bei einem Kurztrip nach Las Vegas ihr Glück im Spielcasino zu versuchen – und nicht nach einer feuchtfröhlichen Nacht neben dem Eishockeyspieler Sam Leclaire aufzuwachen, der sich auch noch als ihr frischgebackener Ehemann herausstellt. Doch Sam scheint es mit dem Bund fürs Leben nicht so ernst zu nehmen, denn ehe sie sich versieht, ist er auf und davon. Zwei Jahre später kreuzen sich ihre Wege ein zweites Mal, und für Autumn stellt sich die Frage, ob sie damals in Vegas nicht vielleicht doch eine Glückssträhne hatte ...

Ein hinreißendes Lesevergnügen – witzig, romantisch und unglaublich sexy! Die Journalistin Jane Alcott ist klein und ausgesprochen zierlich, ihr Outfit lässt sich allenfalls als praktisch oder dezent beschreiben, zudem ist sie mit mehr als nur einer Prise Schlagfertigkeit und Sturheit gesegnet. Also genau der Typ Frau, den der gefeierte Eishockeystar Luc Martineau normalerweise keines zweiten Blickes würdigt. Nun bekommt aber ausgerechnet Jane den Auftrag, eine Saison lang exklusiv über Lucs Team zu berichten. Und bald muss Luc erkennen, wie trügerisch der erste Eindruck sein kann ...

“Rachel does it again! A fun, steamy story.” —Carly Phillips, New York Times bestselling author What happens in Vegas doesn’t always stay there, as New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Rachel Gibson delightfully demonstrates in her smart and sexy romance, Any Man of Mine. The story of a successful wedding planner whose world is turned upside-down when the man she once impetuously married in a quickie Las Vegas ceremony bursts unexpectedly back into her life, Any Man of Mine is pure joy—a beautiful marriage of the wit, heart, and sensuality that is a hallmark of two-time RITA® Award winner Gibson, solidifying her equal standing among Jennifer Crusie, Susan Elizabeth Phillips, and Nora Roberts as the crème de la crème of contemporary romance fiction.

Een succesvolle zakenvrouw loopt in Seattle haar ex-man, met wie ze zes jaar eerder in een dolle bui was getrouwd en net zo snel weer was gescheiden, tegen het goddelijke lijf.

Für den gut aussehenden Mark Bressler gibt es zwei Arenen, in denen er unschlagbar ist: auf dem Eishockeyfeld und im Bett. Bis er sich vor einem wichtigen Spiel verletzt - und strikte körperliche Schonung - in jeder Hinsicht - verordnet bekommt. Mark lässt seine schlechte Laune an jedem aus, der ihm über den Weg läuft. Pech für Chelsea Ross, seine neue Assistentin, für die sich wieder einmal bestätigt, dass alle Stars überheblich und arrogant sind.

Coole Dialoge und prickelnde Sinnlichkeit Zugegeben, der 80-jährige Virgil ist für die 25-jährige Faith Duffy vielleicht ein bisschen alt. Aber schließlich kennt Liebe keine Grenzen und Faith liebt ihn heiß und innig – bis dass der Tod sie scheidet. Dies passiert schon fünf Jahre nach ihrer Hochzeit, und Faith steht allein da. Fast allein, denn Virgil hat Faith zur Erbin seiner Eishockeymannschaft gemacht. Die Jungs sind von ihrer neuen Trainerin überhaupt nicht begeistert, und vor allem mit dem attraktiven Ty Savage kommt es immer wieder zu Reibereien. Aber wo Reibereien sind, da sprühen auch Funken ...

When ex-supermoddel Lola Carlyle learns that some very -- ahem -- private photos of herself are being peddled on the Internet, she hides out where there''s sun and -- she thinks -- safety, until the gossip dies out. Then the private yacht she''s blissfully napping on is "commandeered" by some man who says his name is Max Zamora, and that he works for the government. It sounds crazy, but Max is telling the truth -- his cover''s been blown, he''s on the run, and now he''s confronted by a very angry -- and beautiful -- woman. He''s seen Lola before -- barely clothed on covers of fashion magazines. But she''s more beautiful in person. From the top of her pert blonde head to the tips of her little painted toes, Max finds her sexy, curvy... and a pain in the butt. And that''s before she blows up the ship! Now, the unlikely pair is stranded in the middle of the ocean, it''s getting very hot -- not just from the sun -- and Lola is about to reveal it all...

Returning home to Truly, Idaho, to unravel the mystery surrounding her sordid past, which involves the Hennessy family, Maddie Dupree discovers that she is in way over her head when she gets too close to Mick Hennessy...

When everything about her life in Las Vegas just seems to be going wrong, Kate Hamilton leaves her job as a PI and points her car toward Gospel, Idaho. Gospel is the kind of town where a girl can take it easy and just be herself, or so she hopes. But when she gets there, people get the impression that she''s a bit of a ball-buster. And she is, at first. But Gospel has a way of softening people up. One of those ways is Rob Sutter. He''s a spectacular-looking former hockey player with a wild past of his own, who now lives a quiet (albeit slightly macho) life running his sporting goods store and fly-fishing. Kate and Rob are so wrong for each other that there must be something right. If only they can start seeing each other for who they really are...

Sempre ao seu Lado narra a história de Maddie Jones. A personagem volta à cidade onde nasceu, com pretexto de concluir seu livro, um thriller policial com todos os ingredientes de um bom suspense, duplo homicídio e traição, em uma trama envolvente. O que ninguém sabe é que os fatos são verídicos, e boa parte foi descrita no diário de sua mãe, assassinada junto com seu amante. Maddie Jones está determinada a descobrir o passado sórdido da cidade. No entanto, ela não conta com a possibilidade de se sentir atraída por Mick Hennessey, filho da mulher traída que matou sua mãe.

Disaster Number One: Men Hard knocks and hunger taught Faith Duffy not to believe in love. Still, when she married her very wealthy—and very old—husband, she became the perfect wife. And then he went to that big bank in the sky, leaving Faith with lonely nights, a pile of money, and a total mess of a pro hockey team. Heck, Faith doesn''t even watch hockey! Disaster Number Two: Passion But most of America and half of Canada is watching Ty Savage. His lethal sex appeal and deadly right hook make him the favorite of fans. For most of Ty''s life, he''s dreamed of winning the Stanley Cup. The last thing he needs is a bimbo messing up his plans. Disaster Number Three: Love Faith loathes Ty on sight, but she can''t stop thinking about him all day . . . and night. Then a moment of temptation ends with Faith in Ty''s bed, and she begins to see there''s more to him than sex appeal. Ty discovers there''s far more to Faith than beauty and billions. But a relationship with Faith is impossible, and falling in love—that would be a disaster.

What does a gal have to do to get a good date in this town? Adele Harris can''t even begin to answer that question. She''s had so many lousy dates that she''s sure she''s cursed. Why else would every man she goes out with suddenly act like he''s lost his mind—and his manners? Adele thought life couldn''t get any more confusing . . . until she learns the marriage of her seemingly Miss Perfect sister is on the rocks. So she goes back to their hometown to give her a shoulder to cry on, only to run smack into Zach Zemaitis . . . the one who got away. Texans love God, family, and football, though not always in that order Zach, a former pro star, knows all about football. As for the other two, well, he''s doing his best. But when Adele comes charging back into his life—still all lush curves and beautiful, big blue eyes—he wonders if his best is good enough. After all, he did her wrong. Can a woman with her track record ever really believe that he''s serious this time . . . or is he destined to be another bad date?

What is Clare Wingate doing? One minute she''s suffering in a pretty-in-pink gown she''ll never wear again, and the next thing she knows it''s morning . . . and she has the nastiest hangover of her life. To make matters worse, she''s wearing nothing but a spritz of Escada and lying next to Sebastian Vaughan . . . her girlhood crush turned sexy, globe-hopping journalist. Somewhere between the toast and the toss of the bouquet she''d gotten herself into a whole lot of trouble. Clare had the right to go wild—after all, she''d been knocked off her dyed-to-match shoes after finding her own fiancé in a compromising position with the washing machine repairman. Clearly her society wedding is off. But Sebastian pushed all the wrong buttons—and some of the right ones, too. Clare is in no mood for love—not even for lust—and wants to forget about Sebastian and his six-pack abs ASAP. But he isn''t in the mood to go away, and his kiss is impossible to forget.

Three spectacular stories all set on New Year′s Eve. First, Stephanie Laurens enthralls us with a New Year′s scandal, when a rake awakens in the bed of the temptress who seduced him years before. Then, Victoria Alexander enchants with her tale of a love promised, then foiled and then rekindled on another midnight. And Rachel Gibson delights with the reunion of two estranged friends and the passionate sparks that fly when the clock strikes twelve.

Arriving in the town of Truly, Idaho, for the reading of her stepfather''s will, Delaney Shaw planned to pay her respects and then leave again as fast as she could. But the will has some unexpected conditions.

Maddie is determined to uncover the untold story about the town''s sordid past—her past. As a child, Maddie lost everything, and now she''s back at the scene of the scandal—a local establishment that''s always belonged to the Hennessys—determined to uncover the truth, and nothing is going to stand in her way. Especially not a black-haired, blue-eyed Hennessy. Everyone in Truly knows that the Hennessy men are irresistible, and the current owner, Mick, is no exception. His late father was a skirt-chasing heartbreaker who ended up causing disaster for two families. So far, Mick''s managed to keep the ladies in line, but when he claps eyes on Maddie, with her luscious curves and tempting lips, he can''t resist getting tangled up with her. But Maddie is keeping secrets, not the least of which is her true reason for being in town. And when Mick discovers what‘s really going on, there is going to be a whole lot of trouble in Truly.

Valentine''s Day sucks. And this year it''s worse than usual for Kate Hamilton as she tries to seduce a handsome stranger in a motel bar - only to find out he, unfortunately, has other ideas... Escaping from embarrassment to her grandfather''s tiny town of Gospel, Ohio, she''s determined to relax. What she''s not expecting is a reunion with Mr Handsome Stranger, aka Rob Sutter, who, it just so happens, lives in the town. But then Rob and Kate find themselves in an compromising position in the local store after hours, giving the phrase "clean-up in aisle five" a whole new meaning and, in the process, causing a whole lot of gossip in Gospel...

"La suerte del detective Joe Shanahan tocó fondo la mañana en que se encontró cara a cara con Grabrielle Breedlove. Acababa de dar al traste con su tapadera ... y ahora sus órdenes eran hacerse pasar por su novio. Pero estar tanto tiempo junto a una belleza irresistible como ésa trae complicaciones inesperados. Y, para como, las incorregibles hermanas de Joe no desean otra cosa que organizarle una boda"--P. [4] of cover.

She explained the trouble with Valentine''s Day (as if you didn''t know!) Now Rachel Gibson tells all about . . . Sex . . . What is it about men anyway? Bad cars, bad jobs, even bad teeth—nothing convinces them that they can''t snare a Size Two Babe with a D-cup chest. And after way too many internet dates with men named "luvstick" and "bigdaddy182," Lucy Rothschild should know. Lies . . . But sitting across from her now is "hardluvnman," and he seems different—sensitive, honest, and hot! He says he''s a plumber, while Lucy claims she''s a nurse! She''s really a mystery writer, dating online while researching her next book. Hey, everyone lies a little, don''t they? And Online Dating . . . But Quinn''s really an undercover cop hunting down a serial killer, and he sees Lucy as his top suspect. And while he could really go for this smart, sexy woman with the killer bod—if that''s the only thing "killer" about her—he knows he needs to wine and dine her and discover the truth. Hey, he realizes the dating scene can be deadly—but this is ridiculous!
