From NYT bestselling author Samantha Towle comes a sizzling beach romance, that will leave you hot in all the right places... Dillon Dawson loves to write romance despite her latest relationship ending with her traveling to the Maldives alone on what was supposed to be her honeymoon. Now, the only thing she wants is two weeks of uninterrupted peace and quiet with absolutely no men in sight. West Oakley doesn't even believe that romance exists, and he has no desire to convince himself otherwise. The only reason he's heading to the Maldives is to escape a scandal and spend time on an island where no one knows who he is. But plans change, and when West takes one look at Dillon, another idea forms in his mind-a no-strings two-week stand. Even though Dillon knows their sexual chemistry is explosive, her romantic heart is torn. Can she really spend fourteen nights in the arms of a god like West, making all of her fantasies come true, only to walk away at the end of it? Or can Dillon turn this two-week stand into more than an unexpected holiday fling, convincing West that romance does exist after all?

The Storm Series Sono il figlio di un’icona. Di una leggenda. Di un membro della famiglia reale del rock. Un uomo che non ho mai incontrato. Ma mi sono paragonato a lui in ogni aspetto della mia vita. L’unico momento in cui mi sento me stesso, davvero me stesso, è quando sono sul palco con la mia band. Ma più diventiamo famosi, più spesso vengo paragonato a lui. Non sono lui. E non lo sarò mai. Vorrei solo che la gente lo capisse. Ho bisogno di staccare da tutto, specialmente dopo un litigio che mi ha spinto a saltare in macchina e a lasciarmi alle spalle Los Angeles. Ma per uno stupido errore sono costretto ad accostare. E mi trovo di fronte una ragazza che è l’esatto contrario di chiunque abbia mai incontrato nella vita. E non ha idea di chi io sia. Anche se lo sapesse, non penso che le importerebbe. Pensa solo che io sia un uomo gentile. La trovo intrigante. E bellissima. Sono bloccato per la notte in questo paesino, mentre mi sistemano la macchina. Ma sto pensando di restare un po’ più a lungo. Sono Storm Slater, chitarrista degli Slater Raze e figlio unico del grande, compianto Johnny Creed. Ma qui, ora, non sono nessuno. Sono uno qualunque. Questa cosa mi piace tantissimo. E lei mi piace ancora di più. Samantha Towle Ha iniziato a scrivere mentre aspettava il primo figlio.

From New York Times bestselling author Samantha Towle comes a gripping psychological thriller that will have you on the edge of your seat. I'd once believed that nothing would equal the pain of losing my parents. I was wrong. I had barely even begun to process their deaths when it started. The love notes, flowers, gifts ... all anonymously left on my porch. Then, I opened my door to a dead bird. At first, I thought it had died naturally.I knew that wasn't the case when I found my neighbor's cat the next day. Then, the murders started. The victims ... women who looked eerily similar to me. I had a stalker. A murderous one. And I had no clue who he was. He never showed me his face. Not even when he carved his final message into me. I survived that night. But my life was over. It had ended the moment Tobias Ripley's infatuation with me began. So, I changed my name and moved away. Now, I live a life of solitude. I don't make connections with anyone. Until Jack Canti walks into my life with his sharp eyes and easy smiles. Only Jack isn't the man he says he is. And when the murders start again, I'm left wondering if it's a copycat. Or worse ... What if Tobias wasn't the real killer after all ... and the murderer has been right here with me all along?

Especially not when the woman they've hired is the one girl who hated my guts in college. She thinks I'm an overprivileged, womanizing man-whore. I think she's an uptight, stuck-up bitch. And, now, she's here, in my office, telling me how to run my company. I don't think so. It doesn't matter that she has legs that go on for days or that I keep imagining bending her over my desk and showing her just how bossy I can be. I've worked my ass off and paid my dues to get to where I am, and she's not taking it from me. No freaking way. Morgan Stickford is about to learn the hard way that Wilder Cross is the only boss around here.

From New York Times bestselling author, Samantha Towle, comes a new standalone romantic comedy. Vaughn West, Hollywood heartthrob, has been at the top of his game for years. He thinks he's untouchable-until a betrayal brings him spiraling down. Now, everyone pities him, and if there's one thing Vaughn hates, it's pity. After a few months of working his way through every available actress, pop star, model, and waitress in California, Vaughn needs to get his life back on track and focus on what he does best-making hit movies. Charlotte Michaels is in love. Just not with one person. Louis Vuitton... Christian Dior... Valentino... Gucci... And the list goes on. Sadly, Charly's limited bank account doesn't allow her those luxuries, and the closest she gets are lucky finds in charity shops and working closely with some of those names in her job as a wardrobe assistant. Now, Charly has landed the mother of all jobs-working on the new Vaughn West movie. Excited doesn't even cut it. Only things don't go as planned, and it turns out that Vaughn is actually a jerk. A hot jerk, but a jerk nonetheless. So, why do their clothes keep falling off whenever they're around each other? And why can't Charly keep her mind in the closet and off Vaughn? Getting mixed up with a smart-mouthed, fashion-obsessed wardrobe assistant is the last thing Vaughn needs. Getting mixed up with an arrogant, self-centered, obnoxious, jumped-up actor who has a lack of respect for fashion is the last thing Charly needs. Things are about to get hot, dirty, and messy in Hollywood. Very messy. Especially if Charly's closely guarded secret falls out of her closet.
