Sexy und gefährlich. Eine moderne Romeo und Julia Romanze mit überraschender Wendung. Die Floristin Terri Martin lebt ein ruhiges und…
friedliches Leben. Vielleicht zu ruhig und zu friedlich. Ihre letzte Beziehung liegt schon so weit zurück, dass sie sich gar nicht mehr daran erinnern kann. Terri wendet sich an Bad Boys for Hire, um sich einen bösen Jungen für ihren 30. Geburtstag zu buchen. Doch noch bevor sie einen engagieren kann, trifft sie auf Ryker Slade und sein sexy Bike. Bald kommen alte Familiengeheimnisse ans Licht, die nicht nur Terris Leben bedrohen, sondern auch alle anderen in Gefahr bringen könnten. Sie merkt, dass ihre Liebe zu Ryker genauso zum Scheitern verurteilt ist wie die zwischen Romeo und Julia. Ryker glaubt, eine Lösung gefunden zu haben, doch kann Terri ihrem Schicksal entfliehen oder werden sie alle von ihrer Vergangenheit eingeholt? Die Bad Boys for Hire Romane sind lustige und spannende Geschichten, in denen die Liebe zwar unverhofft auftaucht, aber voll ausgekostet wird. Die Bücher können einzeln gelesen werden. Aber, wenn man nicht genug davon bekommen kann, am besten in folgender Reihenfolge lesen: Buch 1: Ryker und Terri – MC Romanze Buch 2: Ken und Jolie – Urlaubsromanze auf Hawaii Buch 3: Nick und Carol – Sexy Weihnachts-Romanze Buch 4: Liam und Marisa – Irische AbenteuerromanzeBy Christina McKnight. 2019
Still und zurückhaltend, hat Lady Ophelia Fletcher zu jeder Zeit die Nase in einem Buch. Deshalb hat sie von dem…
Tod ihrer Freundin in jener schicksalhaften Nacht nichts mitbekommen. Jetzt schreibt sie die in einer geheimen Zeitungskolumne, um ungute Männer zu entlarven, als Wiedergutmachung dafür, dass sie die Mordvorwürfe ihrer anderen Freundinnen nicht unterstützen mag. Als ein gutaussehender Fremder für ein Gespräch ihren Vater aufsucht, kann Ophelia sich nicht davon abhalten, Nachforschungen über den schmucken Lord anzustellen. Colin Parnell, Lord Hawke, hat ein Versprechen zu halten: Das Buch zu finden, das beweist, dass sein Großvater als Spion für König George II. gearbeitet hat und nicht als verachtenswerter Schmuggler vor der Küste von Kent gestorben ist. Die in Mysterien und Skandale gehüllte Familie Parnell befindet sich seit Jahrzehnten im Krieg miteinander, und Colin ist entschlossen, dem ein Ende zu setzen, indem er Beweise für die ehrenwerte Vergangenheit der Familie entdeckt. Leider befindet sich das Buch, das er sucht, in den Händen einer feurigen Schönheit, und er muss Ophelias Hilfe in Anspruch nehmen, um die Wahrheit herauszufinden. Ophelia ist durchaus gewillt, ihre Fähigkeiten einzusetzen, um Lord Hawke zu helfen. Aber wird ihre Suche nach Antworten zu Missgeschicken führen, oder werden sie viel mehr bekommen, als sie erwartet hatten: die Wahrheit und einander?By Sky Corgan. 2019

Amour, rupture, insécurité, réconciliation, angoisse et développement personnel,… tout cela et plus parcoururent Se souvenir pour toujours et Oublier pour…
toujours. Dans ce troisième livre de la saga, ne serait-ce que par son nom: Aimer pour toujours, il est presque obligatoire de faire naître une poésie pour les oreilles: la fin d’un roman romantique que tout le monde veut entendre. Rien n’est plus éloigné de la réalité, car il n’y a pas d’amour pour toujours, sans complications, où il n’est pas nécessaire de se battre, pleurer, rire ou pardonner tous les jours. Le pire est sur le point d’atteindre notre protagoniste… Effrayée, frissonnant de froid et de peur, je me serre dans mes bras, je me frotte inutilement les bras, je me balance, la tête entre les genoux, mais rien ne fonctionne. La dure réalité me glace les os. La dure réalité se manifeste déjà dans mon estomac vide, sèche mes lèvres. La dure réalité est l’image et le son du corps de Bryan qui s’est effondré contre le marbre poli, avant que les ténèbres ne se dressent sur moi…>>By Camille Oster. 2019

Bryan: Perdido no amor por aquela mulher frustrante chamada Cintia Alonso, não encontro consolo na minha rotina habitual. Aqueles dias…
em que a minha solidão foi preenchida são prostrados vazios e desolados. Nada nem ninguém vai confortar o meu coração miserável. Teimosa em se distanciar de mim, ela não vê que está lutando contra a própria natureza que nos uniu. O destino ditou que devemos estar juntos, embora ela pareça não se importar minimamente com isso... Ela só quer me esquecer para sempre e eu não tenho escolha a não ser respeitar seu pedido, ficando longe, por mais rebuscada e absurda que a idéia possa parecer para mim. Cintia: Ironias da vida... Como podemos esquecer para sempre quem será lembrado para sempre? Eu vou viver o resto dos meus dias loucamente apaixonado por um homem que nunca mais estará comigo, porque um dia ruim para o coração (mas bom para a sanidade) eu decidi que era assim.By Nuria Pariente Nogueras. 2019
Amor, ruptura, inseguranças, reconciliação, angústia e auto-aperfeiçoamento,... todos eles e mais povoados Lembrai-vos para sempre e Esquecei-vos para sempre. Nesta…
terceira parte da saga, ainda que apenas pelo nome: Amar Para Sempre, é quase obrigatório dar lugar à poesia para os ouvidos: o fim de um romance romântico que todos querem ouvir. Nada poderia estar mais longe da realidade, pois não há amor para sempre, sem complicações, onde não é necessário lutar, chorar, rir ou perdoar todos os dias. O pior está prestes a chegar ao nosso protagonista... Assustado, tremendo de frio e medo, eu me abraço, esfrego meus braços inutilmente, balanço para frente e para trás, tocando minha cabeça entre meus joelhos, mas nada funciona. A realidade crua perfura os meus ossos. A realidade crua já se manifesta em meu estômago vazio, seca meus lábios. A realidade crua é a imagem e o som do grande corpo de Bryan colapsando contra o mármore polido, antes que a escuridão pairasse sobre mim... >>By Nuria Pariente Nogueras. 2019
Uma noite com muito para celebrar, de mãos dadas com o turbilhão do meu amigo Maty, que estava determinado no…
mundo a me perder nos meus vinte e oito anos de vida. Uma noite para repor a vida monótona que outros me impuseram, pelo que dirão e pelas aparências sangrentas. Uma noite que não recordo com grande detalhe ao amanhecer, depois da qual me descobri com um homem enigmático que não hesitará em ajudar-me a reviver. Uma noite que marcará o fim da minha vida chata e perfeita como uma menina rica, educada e esticada, e que dará luz verde para uma nova e louca vida. Uma noite, um homem e eventos que você, Cintia Alonso, lembrará para sempre.By Victoria Sue. 2019

Jacob's brother Levi also cannot move on-his love for Hannah burns just as strong as ever. But he knows how much Hannah loved his brother, and the event that took Jacob from them. And it's a secret he must take to his grave. So when a mysterious stranger comes to their community, he too carries a secret; one that will force Hannah to choose between light and dark, between the one she wants to love and a new yearning she fears to embrace.By Dirk Greyson. 2017
Seventeen years ago, Forge Reynolds fell in love… and had his heart broken. When Staff Sergeant Gage Livingston was brought…
into Forge’s Army field hospital, temporarily paralyzed, Forge sat with him, read his letters, answered his mail, and formed a connection he thought would last. But Gage was sent home, Forge transferred to a new post, and his letters to Gage went unanswered. Now in the middle of a bitter divorce, Forge is sick and tired of his husband’s manipulation. He's almost ready to make any sacrifice to get closure—then he finds Granger murdered execution-style in their home. Forge had no idea about Granger’s illicit activities, but the killers don’t believe that. They think Forge has something they want, and they’re coming after him. When Forge’s lawyer arranges for professional protection, the last face Forge expects to see is Gage’s. Can he even contemplate a second chance for them after almost two decades, or will hoping only lead to more heartache? Before they can explore the possibilities, they must figure out what information Granger had—that others are willing to kill for—or that possible heartache could become a certainty.By Alexia Mars. 2019

find themselves fighting to resist a deepening passion.
