Nadia Conrad has big dreams, and she's determined to make them come true—for her parents' sake as well as her own. But between maintaining her college scholarship and working at the local day care to support herself, she barely has time to think, let alone date. Then she moves into a new apartment and meets the taciturn yet irresistible guy in 1B….

Daniel Tyler has grown up too fast. Becoming a single dad at twenty turned his life upside down—and brought him heartache he can't risk again. Now, as he raises his four-year-old son while balancing a full-time construction management job and night classes, a social life is out of the question. The last thing he wants is for four noisy students to move into the apartment upstairs. But one night, Nadia's and Ty's paths cross, and soon they can't stay away from each other.

The timing is all wrong—but love happens when it happens. And you can't know what you truly need until you stand to lose it.

Police chief Ian Quinn is used to dealing with the unexpected. But when free-spirited artist Marisol Arantes arrives in town, scandalizing the neighborhood with her blatant body of work, he doesn't know what to do with her-that is, until she shows him the joy of body paints…

Marisol has never met a man like Ian. He's so strong, so upright…so irresistibly tempting. If only Marisol wasn't hiding a few secrets from her past-secrets that Ian, as an officer of the law, cannot find out… Still, with the blazing chemistry raging between them, keeping Ian distracted shouldn't be a problem…

"What lies beneath my veiled perfection is the ugly truth—my truth, my reality, my destiny."

Vivian Graham has an acceptance letter into Harvard, a badass tattoo, loyal friends, ties to marijuana, a penchant for Dunkin’ Donuts, and her pesky V-card.

Everyday she takes the Red Line to her job at The Green Pot in Boston while her friends enter the coveted, black iron gates to higher learning. The ramifications from a tragic accident have put her life on hold while time marches on for everyone around her.

After graduating from Harvard Law, Boston native, Oliver Konrad, moves to Portland to start his career and his life. Three years later, after a horrific discovery, he returns home to trade in his three-piece suit for leather work boots and his suburban home for a condo in Cambridge.

All he brought back to the East Coast was an aversion to pillows and secrets he keeps hidden behind a mysterious locked door. Oliver’s days are predictable and his nights are lonely until he meets Vivian on the subway. Her long raven hair, green eyes, and mile-long legs are achingly sexy, but the way she "innocently" fingers and licks her Boston Kreme doughnut can only be described in two words—complete torture.

After the last fiasco, Sally gives up. She’ll never find a Dom of her own. Instead the computer whizz is job hunting in between bending the law—just a bit—to unearth the bastards who’d enslaved her friends. The clueless cops and Feds obviously need help.

FBI special agents, Galen and Vance, have waited to play with Sally for a long time. When the mischievous submissive returns to the exclusive Shadowlands BDSM club after an ugly relationship, the experienced co-tops are pleased. Realizing she’s suppressing her emotions, the powerful Doms push her—only to find that her sassiness conceals a scarred and vulnerable heart.

Shaken by the unexpected emotional exposure, Sally flees the demanding Masters and the Shadowlands.

Both Galen and Vance have reasons not to seek a long-term submissive, but when a brutal attack by her ex-Dom sends Sally into their home, the two agents are driven to protect her. To help her. To take her under command. Falling in love isn’t in the plans.

But as the little imp brings light into their lives, they begin to want more…until they discover she’s hacked into an organization that delights in burning people alive.

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.

As a librarian, Imogen read a lot of books, but none of them covered real life on the Riveria. Her holiday included a glamourous group; a tennis ace, a journalist, a playboy and a photographer who were all full of revelations – and so was she. A prize worth winning – a wild Yorkshire rose among the thorny model girls. Imogen began to wonder if virtue really was its own reward.

The woman he can never have: Meredith Palmer

When he arrived at Hunter's Landing, Jack got the surprise of his life. His best friend's shy little sister had become a breathtaking young woman-with an ax to grind. Still smarting over Jack's long- ago rejection, Meredith was now intent on luring the mogul into her bed…and her bed was right across the hall. At what cost would Jack keep a decade-old promise?

The red-hot blonde was an unexpected bonus of his brother's wedding. But Royce Ryder wasn't bringing Amber Hutton back to his place for the night; he'd gotten roped into taking her to his family's Montana ranch. She'd definitely make the bachelor's forced stay much more pleasant.

What Royce thought would be a torrid tryst was Amber's idea of a quiet vacation. She had no intention of diving into the wrangler's bed – falling for a man like Royce was just asking for trouble. Though with just one touch from the wealthy playboy, she knew trouble had already found her.

Dr. Lizzie Darling causes an accident that leaves Dr. Harry McKay with a broken leg! As the only available doctor, Lizzie stays to fill in at his little practice in Birrini. Slowly, Lizzie finds her heart going out to Birrini and its dangerously charming doctor…

Romantic Times

Jacquie D'Alessandro's In Over His Head is a cut above the usual "I-need-a-fling" story, and cowboy hero fanciers will love this one.

When Fallon Jones took over the family business, he moved Jones & Jones headquarters to Scargill Cove, a secluded coastal town in Northern California. The Cove suits him just fine, as a confirmed recluse . . . and as an investigator of the paranormal. The Cove is a hot spot, a convergence point for unusually strong currents of energy, which might explain why the town draws misfits and drifters like moths to a flame.

Isabella Valdez is used to changing apartments, jobs, even names and Social Security numbers at the drop of a hat — but this is too much. She's been framed by some very dangerous men. They may be behind the disappearance of her grandmother. And now they've sent their thugs after Isabella. She would be dead if her gift of intuition hadn't told her to run.

So she's fled to California — and found employment with Fallon Jones. It's been only a few days, but Fallon doesn't remember life before his new assistant. Isabella's already organized his pathologically chaotic office, and she doesn't bat an eye at the psychic aspect of his job. She's a kindred spirit, sanctuary from a world that considers his talents a form of madness. The surest sign that he's falling for her? He doesn't even mind her cheery personality.

But after a routine case unearths an antique clock infused with dark energy, Fallon and Isabella are dragged into the secret history of Scargill Cove. Next thing they know, they're fighting for their lives in an abandoned underground lab — not exactly an ideal first date. Now their lives depend on the combined strength of their powers as they unravel a cutthroat conspiracy with roots in the Jones family business . . . and Isabella's family tree.

Secrets and lies. They are everywhere: haunting her, tormenting her. In the midst of it all, he’d been her escape, her passion. The only person she’d trusted in six years. And then he’d made her doubt that trust, cutting her deeply. But as she’d once told him, she was damaged, not broken. She is ready to fight and not just for survival. She is fighting for the truth and she won’t stop until she has it, not even for…him.

Even if he weren’t the lead singer of the popular college band, Luminescent Juliet, Justin Noel would have his pick of women. And he does pick. Nightly. Tattooed, blonde, and green eyed, he flashes his dimples and females swoon.

Except for one.

Tattoo artist, Allie Landon, rarely dates, and especially not men like Justin. Though he’s hot enough to melt off permanent ink, she’s done with the bad boy type. But when the ex who broke her heart wants to reunite, desperation has Allie introducing her latest client as her boyfriend. Justin’s more than happy to play the part. He’s completely intrigued by the sexy artist and college student.

However, Allie’s life isn’t what it seems. There’s little room in it or her shattered and confused heart for Justin. But as Justin remains persistent, ignoring the growing attraction—both physical and emotionally—between them becomes more difficult than tattoo removal.

Они встретятся снова, чтобы продолжить начатую Рэнделлом Перришем партию и закончить задание, которое она получила, когда видела его в последний раз.         – Ты должна кое-что сделать для меня, Лиса.                 Рэнделл:. Со стороны может показаться, что я играю с ней и другими людьми от скуки, но это обманчивое впечатление, не имеющее ничего общего с истинными причинами. Моя одержимость контролем построена исключительно на страхе. Она позволяет мне управлять собой, потому что боится меня, а я использую всевозможные рычаги контроля, потому что боюсь ее. И это удивительное ощущение, невероятное по своей силе. И оно не стихийно, а имеет собственные законы, похожие на те, что держат солнечную систему в равновесии. Планеты вращаются вокруг солнца, под воздействием силы отталкивания, превышающей силу притяжения, и только поэтому не сходят со своей орбиты и галактика остается неизменной.                Лиса: Настоящего Рэнделла не знает никто.        Даже он сам.        Настоящего Рэнделла не существует.        Он по-прежнему живет в закрытой комнате, моделируя собственные псевдореальнсти, создавая схемы, неспешно и продуманно передвигая фигурами живых людей по шахматной доске.        . Я не особенная. Я его секрет. Источник его страха.         И, может быть, главная угроза его существованию.

АННОТАЦИЯ

Рэнделл:

Предоставление выбора — это первый шаг в мой мир, где все решаю я и только я, но вы верите, что у вас он есть — пресловутый выбор. Расслабьтесь. Я не сумасшедший, и мои цели куда более меркантильнее, чем может показаться. У всего есть своя цена, и я прошу не самую высокую.

…Она будет сопротивляться, как многие другие до нее. У каждой личности есть защитные механизмы, и моя задача вскрыть их все, исправить и заменить своими. И тогда я стану для нее Вселенной. И она даст мне то, что я хочу.

Не тело — это слишком приземленно, и не душа — это слишком много…

Алисия:

Я от всего отказалась ради того, чтобы он позволил мне — никогда не видеть его снова.

Я ненавижу его больше, чем способен один человек ненавидеть другого. Больше, чем сама от себя ожидала. Но меньше, чем он заслужил. Когда спустя много лет мне скажут: «Он просто человек, Лиса. Просто человек. Из плоти и крови.» Я отвечу уверенно и абсолютно искренне:

— Нет. И никогда им не был.

Итан:

Он заставил меня поверить, что и у таких, как я есть шанс чего-то добиться в жизни. Но я никогда не питал иллюзий в отношении своего спасителя, не пытался закрывать глаза на его деятельность и поступки, которые не вписываются в нормы морали. И я знаю, что Рэнделл использует меня точно так же, как и других людей, позволяя им верить, что они оказывают ему услугу за то, что когда-то он помог решить им их проблемы. Только все это не имеет никакого значения для нас двоих…. Не имело до того, как в моей жизни появилась Алисия Лестер.
