Book 2 in the Caught Up in Us series.
Five years ago, Kat Harper fell into a dizzying summer romance with her brother's best friend, Bryan. It was a mad, crazy love full of kisses all through the night, but he broke her heart and she had to move on. Five years later, Kat is finishing her graduate degree and building her business as a jewelry designer, when Bryan, head of his own successful company, walks back into her life. Bryan has been assigned to Kat as her new business mentor and the rules are clear. No hanky-panky permitted. Kat can handle that because she's totally over him . . . right? Except, he still makes her laugh, and he remembers all the things she likes. Not to mention that he's even more handsome now than he was then. Then there's the spark between them—the simply undeniable chemistry and the tender ways he shows he still cares for her. Can they resist each other the second time around or will first love trump all?

Laissez-moi vous lister les raisons pour lesquelles c’est une très mauvaise idée de tomber dans les filets d’un amour défendu :
1. Elle travaille avec moi tous les jours.
Ai-je mentionné qu’elle était magnifique, douce, gentille et intelligente ?
2. Elle travaille chez moi.
Elle joue avec ma fille de cinq ans. Donne des cours à mon enfant. Cuisine pour ma princesse. Ce qui veut dire que…
3. C’est la nounou.
Par définition, elle m’est totalement inaccessible… Mais ça ne m’empêche pas de la désirer. Tout entière.

Les autres nounous de la ville ne le surnomment pas Le Mâle pour rien. Mon patron, le merveilleux père célibataire de la petite fille dont je m’occupe tous les jours, est follement sexy – du genre star de cinéma, avec des biceps, des yeux et un corps somptueux. Pour ne rien arranger, il adore son enfant. Ça me fait fondre. En réalité, ce qui me fait vraiment chavirer, ce sont tous ces moments où son regard s’attarde sur moi. En cachette. Quand nous sommes seuls.
Je ne peux pas risquer de perdre mon travail pour vivre une aventure avec lui… n’est-ce pas ? En même temps, je ne sais pas si je pourrai lui résister très longtemps…

Book 3 in the Caught Up In Love series.
Twenty-three-year-old rising theater star Jill McCormick has built a life out of pretending. Pretending she's happy, pretending her long-distance crushes add up to something real, pretending she's not haunted by the dark secret that shattered her world six years ago. Cast in her first Broadway show, she desperately needs to keep her façade intact, but that's before she comes face to face with her devastating new boss...
Hotshot director Davis Milo knows the first rule of directing: never fall for your leading lady. Captivated by Jill's raw talent, he fights his feelings, but watching Jill on-stage with another man is more than his jealous streak can take. Keeping things professional isn't an option. He wants all of her.
Soon the ingénue and her director are staying late in the empty theatre, their private rehearsals spiraling into new, forbidden territory. Caught up between fiction and reality, Jill struggles to find the truth in all their staged kisses. But how can she be sure that what she feels is real, and not a part of the play? And when two people spend their lives pretending, what happens after the final curtain falls?

They say all's fair in love and music...
I say life would be a lot fairer if I wasn't so wildly attracted to the man I'm spending all my days with, who's decidedly off-limits.
But then again, I can't technically complain—I have a Grammy, a hit album, and a job most people would be envious of—I'm a rock star. What I haven't had in years is a hot date. The dating drought isn't because I'm a single mom. It's because I have a little itty-bitty issue with trust because of how my marriage imploded.
Matthew is determined to break down my walls, and it sure doesn't hurt that he's British, witty, and far too tempting. He's also the toughest music journalist out there, and he's interviewing me for an in-depth article. The trouble is, I want to get in-depth with him, and the more time we spend together, the more tempted we both are to cross lines that shouldn't be crossed.

April Hamilton wants you to know she hasn't been on Craigslist since that time she sold her futon after college. She doesn't even spend that much time online. And even if she did, she would not be looking up personal ads. But going home alone for her family's summer reunion is an invitation for every single relative to butt into her personal life.

So when she finds the Craigslist ad for a boyfriend-for-hire, she's ready to pay to play.
Heading Home and Need a Buffer? I'm the REAL DEAL.
Theo Banks has been running from the past for years. He's this close to finally settling all his debts, and one more job as a boyfriend-for-hire will do the trick. He's no gigolo. Please. He's something of an actor, and he knows how to slip into any role, including pretending to be April's new beau -- the bad boy with the heart of gold.
Even if it means sleeping in close quarters in that tiny little bed in her parents' inn. Even if it means spinning tales of a romance that starts to feel all too true. What neither one of them counts on is that amid the egg toss, the arm wrestling, and a fierce game of Lawn Twister that has them tangled up together, they might be feeling the real deal.
She only wanted to show her family once and for all that she had no need to settle down.
He didn't expect to have the time of his life at her parent's home.
They didn't plan on loving every single second of the game.
But can a masterful game of pretend result in true love?

Steph Anderson is visiting the Caymans for a rock climbing and dive trip-or so she tells Jake. She's really trying to find out whether or not her stepfather embezzled money from his company. The last thing Steph needs is the distraction of a sexy, charming man whose kisses drive her wild.
Soon, the pair discover they're after the same target-and millions in jewels. While Jake can't be certain Steph isn't working for her stepfather, and Steph can't be certain Jake isn't after the diamonds for himself, they can agree the heat between them is intense, and neither can deny the passion for long.
But the morning after, Steph discovers that she just might have slept with the enemy, and now she'll have to outwit him to get everything she needs....

After giving in to a fiery night of passion, island adventurer Steph Anderson and bounty hunter Jake Harlowe are back to square one.

Worse, there's undeniable evidence that someone else is now after the jewels-and that they are both in real danger.
Fighting against their magnetic attraction is a distraction these two can't afford. In order to survive, they'll have to pull off one more heist-and trust each other with something even more precious than jewels: their hearts.
