asshole. When he drinks, he drinks hard. When he wants a woman, he makes sure she knows it. When he opens his mouth, it's either to piss someone off or to turn someone on. You can normally find him with one hand on a bottle and one hand on a woman, trying to forget his past. Harley Evans is twenty-one-year-old year old college student. She's a good girl who fell hard for Dylan, who'd promised her forever. But Dylan, Bach's best buddy, lied. He enlisted in the Army, crushing Harley with equal parts anger and sadness. She'd already lost her father to that choice. Heartbroken, she falls back into depression. Stuck in Crystal Gulf all summer with little to do, Harley needs a distraction. Enter Bach, sexy as f*#ck distraction, ready and willing. Dylan's not all bad though. Before he left, he asked Bach to watch out for Harley, knowing she'd never go for a guy like Bach. She's too good for him. Too good for anyone. But Dylan was wrong. He never should have left them together. Bach is there to pick up the pieces Dylan left behind. Soon pieces aren't enough. He wants more, needs more Harley. DESTROY ME is dark, sexy, heartbreaking, and intoxicating.Manhandling

in the sensually im-proper Georgian period, in which three noble brothers discover they will be forced to find brides under highly unusual circumstances. Jasper Sullivan, Earl of Blackwater, needs a prostitute. Not in the usual way, however. His wealthy uncle's will promises to divide his huge fortune among his nephews if each rescues a fallen woman . . . by marrying her!

Clarissa Astley is not at all what Jasper believes. The orphaned daughter of a prosperous merchant, she is searching the seedier districts of London for her young brother, abducted by their evil guardian, who wants the little boy's inheritance. But she needs powerful help, and the darkly handsome Earl of Blackwater is certainly that. So she pretends to be exactly what he assumed-- a risky charade for an innocent virgin. But when passion flares between Jasper and Clarissa, the deception becomes even more difficult to handle. . . .Blackberry Cove (A Sunset Bay Novel #3)

Having found her own healing at Sanctuary Ranch, Abby knows Jonathan’s hard-headedness hides a wound that needs mending. Believing a time-out in nature will help father and son see eye-to-eye, she welcomes Jonathan into the only haven she has ever known. But Abby never expects to find herself so drawn to him—or that he will uncover devastating secrets she’d hoped to keep long buried. Will their deepening connection be enough to steer them through the darkness ahead, and toward a bright future for everyone? Praise for Sunset Bay Sanctuary “Grief and loss define this slow burning contemporary romance featuring a large cast of folksy characters who infuse the first installment in Snopek’s Sunset Bay series with lots of down home charm and many examples of tough love. Fans of small town series with character driven plots, such as those by Susan Wiggs and Debbie Macomber, will find that Sunset Bay hits the spot.” —BooklistRandom Tales Of A Daily Life Without Love

life. It is about random stories that intersect in the middle of the road. About souls who adopt and end up modifying each other with love. “The faded yellow facade of the old building matched the solitary sunflower of the window of some apartment. Their window would also have a yellow sunflower spinning always in search of the sun. Just like them, who, from now on, would always be looking to a bright and radiant sun that would bring them the hope of a happy and joyful future. The next day they would find out where the Tutelary Council or Juvenile Court of that little town was half hidden at the end of the world. For the first time, life made sense to her, and she finally knew what was missing to her life. It was missing love”.
