"Sometimes, I wish I weren't a Hawke . . . especially because I'm in love with one.
Years of living on the streets taught me one hard lesson . . . Don't trust anyone. People are inherently bad and will do bad things any chance they get.
So, when the Hawkes took me under their wings . . . I put up walls so high that no one could ever climb over them. Most stopped trying.
It was the way I liked it. Locked away in my own little world. Protected from anything that could hurt me.
But the very person I try so hard to keep out is the only one I want to let in. I dream about her touch. Crave her in a way I have no right to.
She's my best friend's older sister. No matter what . . . I have to keep my hands off Angelina . . . Because she's a Hawke.
Contains mature themes."
"Hate sex with the maid of honor at my best friend's royal wedding . . . I blame the vodka.
Or maybe it was seeing how damn good she looked in that dress. The way it hugged every curve and accentuated her best assets. I definitely won't admit it might be because seeing the prince find his own princess means I'm going to be alone.
Something that has terrified me since being orphaned. Grandmother is the only family I have left in this world. And losing myself in the woman who drives me absolutely mad was an easy escape from that reality.
Only now, when I fled to the one place I can find solitude to wallow in my misery . . . She shows up. And walks right in on me getting off to the memory of being inside her.
I didn't think things could get any more complicated. But I was wrong.
Too many things have been hidden and left unsaid. Finding the truth is only the beginning . . . Things are about to get royally complicated.
Contains mature themes."
"Sex on the beach with a smoking hot stranger . . .
I blame the tequila. And the way he rode the waves like he owned them. And the delicious way the water trickled down over his washboard abs and the V thingy. And the fact that I'm on the trip that was supposed to be my honeymoon until I caught the bastard cheating.
Yeah, I'm going to blame it on all that. Because reckless behavior is so not usually me. But surfer god Fyn is a breath of fresh air I so badly need. A break from reality of the world around me. One he seems to need, too. It's a single wild moment in my otherwise structured life that seems to be crumbling.
A perfect snapshot in time . . .
Until the royal guard shows up looking for him. Turns out the king of the waves is actually a prince. A real one next in line for the throne. And I just banged him on the sand.
People say a one-night stand can be good for you, especially after a break-up. I'm starting to question that advice. Because finding my prince is only the beginning . . .
Things are about to get royally complicated."
"Two hearts. One snowstorm. A second chance at love.
Penelope
Swirling snow may have stranded me at this tiny airport in the middle of nowhere on Christmas Eve, but it has nothing on the storm raging inside me when he walks into the terminal.
Artemis Warren.
My first love and the man who shattered my world.
I thought I locked my feelings for him safely away in the past, but one look is all it takes for me to drown in his icy blue eyes again.
So much time has passed.
I’m no longer that naïve teenager standing on a beach, wishing the boy would choose me.
Now, I’m hiding a secret that could unravel both our lives.
Artemis
The emergency landing in Nowheresville is more than an inconvenience.
It’s a disaster.
The annual family holiday party in NYC was my chance to make the statement I’ve been dreaming of for so long.
Now, all my best laid plans will have to wait until I can get out of here and back to civilization.
Nothing can salvage this day.
Yet seeing Penelope Barnes again turns this bad situation into the opportunity of a lifetime.
Reuniting with the only woman I’ve ever loved would be the ultimate Christmas gift.
But how can I heal the old wounds and/or fit into the new life she created?
When temperatures drop and snowflakes fly, can love find a way to weather the storm for the ultimate Christmas miracle?"
"Wanted: one bride for marriage to billionaire heir at New Year’s Eve wedding. Submit resume and photo to [email protected]
ARCHIMEDES
All I want is to be CEO at Warren Enterprises Worldwide, but the newly revised Warren Trust makes it clear …
I won’t inherit the company or the family fortune unless I’m hitched before the first of the year.
Too bad I don’t have a girlfriend or fiancée.
What I do have is charm, dashing good looks, a prestigious lineage, an email address, and a faithful assistant willing to help me sort through all the applicants.
But the longer we spend weeding out the duds, the more I appreciate the woman in front of me.
Too bad Blaire doesn’t fit the requirements for a Warren bride.
And one way or another, this New Year’s Eve, I’ll be kissing my wife at the stroke of midnight.
BLAIRE
Helping my hot boss find a bride isn’t really part of my job description.
It’s busy enough around the office during the holidays without having to comb through applications from vapid bimbos who only want the Warren money.
But Archie needs my help, and I’m hopeless to deny him when he flashes me that panty-melting grin and sings my praises.
He says I’m invaluable.
As an employee … or more?
Because with every moment we spend together planning his loveless New Year’s Eve wedding, my heart inches closer to falling in love with him.
Holiday miracles are the things of fairy tales, but this New Year’s Eve, one might be found in the place they least expect it."
"Two nights. No names. No expectations. A lifetime of consequences.
Graduating from law school means finally stepping into my destined role in the Hawke empire.
But before I head home to NOLA to settle into the family's multi-billion-dollar business, I need one night to celebrate.
Ideally with the redhead who won’t stop eye-f-cking me from across the bar.
I never intend it to turn into an entire weekend in bed with her.
Yet, somehow, that’s exactly where we end up.
There are only two rules—no names and no expectations.
Easy to agree to at the time.
Impossible to abide by once I realize how incredible she is.
One night isn’t enough.
Not even two are.
A lifetime won’t be.
We fell into the unexpected, and it will change everything.

"Love can be ruthless, especially when you're a Hawke.
You have to be ruthless to be a Hawke. Our empire in New Orleans has only grown over the years. And protecting it falls on my shoulders.
Whether it's in the courtroom or in the streets, I do whatever it takes to get the job done. We've already suffered and lost enough. I won't let anything threaten my family or what we've built.
But a mysterious woman from my past shows up, with danger in tow. That's not all she brings with her. The little girl stares up at me with the Hawke blue eyes. Instantly, my entire world shifts.
It isn't just about defending what's ours.
Now, it's about defending what's mine.

"Rescued by the billionaire lumberjack...
Lost.
Alone.
Freezing on the side of a desolate mountain in a massive snowstorm.
Until a rugged man with an ax saves me.
Waking in his warm, comfortable bed leaves more than one question.
How did I get here?
Where are my clothes?
And who is this handsome recluse with striking dark eyes and a grumpy demeanor?
The answers only bring more mysteries.
He doesn’t want me here.
Doesn’t want his secrets exposed.
I don’t want him to know mine, either.
But there’s only so long we can deny this sizzling attraction.
Only so long until I learn the truth about my billionaire lumberjack and our pasts come back to haunt us.
Grab this steamy stand-alone about a billionaire in hiding, the photographer who stumbles upon him, and what happens when they’re trapped together during a major snow storm with building attraction and dark secrets!"
"A legend under the surface. A woman obsessed. A destined love.
Returning to Loch Ness means coming home in more ways than one.
The monster exists. I’ve seen him. Visions of the beast haunt my dreams and waking hours.
I need to get back to the loch. To him.
When he rises from the water again, I watch him shift into a sexy Highlander right before my eyes, and everything I think I know evaporates.
He’s so much more than I imagined.
A magical attraction between us leads down a path of ancient curses, family lore, and to an unmistakable love.
But will it be enough to keep him human, or will he return to the murky depths with my heart?"
"A haunted mansion. A sexy ghost. A contractor determined to fix both.
Buying and renovating the old plantation house seems like a great idea. The fact that it’s supposedly haunted by the spirit of a murdered prostitute is a minor oversight.
I don’t believe in that crap anyway.
But after a late-night rendezvous with a sexy spirit elicits a very real nocturnal emission from me, I have to rethink my belief in poltergeists…and love.
The intoxicating woman who has been trapped here for over a century casts a spell over me with her humor, courage, and passion.
I have to do something to free her from her ethereal prison.
But will my actions break her metaphysical chains, or will they release something darker into my new home?"
"A wendigo controlled by a curse. An insatiable mystery woman. One sexy, crazy ride.
Greed. For the last 4,000 years, it’s been my curse.
Every day, I live with the repercussions of the terrible choices I made.
I thought I’d seen it all…then a black aura crosses my path.
The beautiful woman it belongs to sends my world into a tailspin.
She gets under my skin, hypnotizing me with her adventurous and risque nature. I almost forget I know nothing about her.
Thinking with the wrong head can certainly get a man in trouble, but in this case, it could mean an end worse than my curse."
