Bailey Sheppard had loved Nick Heart for as long as she could remember. They had been best friends in school and had graduated to a friends-with-benefits arrangement after she left home to study at a university two states away. Their once a month weekends were the highlight of her life, when he would fly in to visit her and she would have him all to herself for the entire, uninterrupted weekend.

And then he told her he was getting married.

Bailey’s perfect world was threatening to implode and she had to do something to set it to rights. She needed Nick in her life, she wanted to be the one he married and lived happily ever after with. So, she hatched a plan to stop the wedding and steal the groom.

And then she met Hunter.

Hunter Green, the reclusive aviation billionaire, offered to act as her boyfriend to make the groom jealous and help her put a stop to the wedding. But his beautiful green eyes and the way he made her feel when he touched her cause her to question her loyalty and feelings towards Nick. Oh, and he just happens to be Nick’s stepbrother.

Now she had feelings for Hunter that won’t be denied, but what did that mean for her future with Nick? Did she take a chance on a new relationship with Hunter or should she stay the course and reach for the happily ever after she’d always imagined with Nick?

This is a standalone romance - no cliff-hanger!

*This is a ‘Too Hot to Handle’ romance on the Emma Lea rating scale - These are definitely 18+ reads and contain graphic sex scenes and high level swearing – not for the faint of heart.

"This story has an amazing plot full of just the right balance of humor, suspense, romance, and steamy scenes, and the characters were strong both male and female."

She left me. Married another man and ripped my heart out.
Now she's back and begging for my help.
No way am I getting involved. Except I already am.

Savannah.
Her name still makes my head buzz.
We were in love, or so I thought.
But she broke my heart.

I made the army my home and tried to forget her fresh floral scent.
Her heart-pounding beauty.
The fool who stole her from me.

I thought I'd succeeded.
Until I got the call.

"Jayden, I need your help."

What could I say?
It's been years since Savannah begged me for anything.

Her child is missing.
The cops think he's dead.
Her husband thinks she's depressed. Crazy.
Maybe she is.

I won't stop until I find out the truth.
The man who stole her son will pay.
And just maybe Savannah and I can fix what we used to have.

You never forget your first love…

I certainly haven’t forgotten Tyler Browning.

Partly because he was the complete package of perfection - from his sparkling green eyes to those deliciously muscled arms. 

And partly because he left me a child - Brody. The center of my world.

I see his daddy everyday in that bright smile.

I sometimes wonder if I should have told Tyler the truth.

Then I remember our last fight when we both said too much.

I did the right thing for my kid.

You never forget your first love…

Especially when he walks right back into town.

And looks at you with those ‘I wanna undress you’ eyes.

Next, he invites you over for dinner. 

It’s just dinner, right? 

How the hell could that get so complicated! 

Can I resist the lure of a second chance?

What happens if he finds out my secret? 
 

Tyler

‘We just come in larger packages for those who can enjoy the ride’ 

That’s what she told me nine years back and that’s how she is now. 

And hell yeah,  I wanna enjoy the ride. 

I want to be a part of her world once again,

The center of attraction, her pillar of support. 

I’d have done anything to get back into her arms. 

But first I have to figure out why she doesn’t want to be back in mine.

“To answers, mysteries, and new beginnings. It’s good to be home after nine long years!” 

Don't miss the spine tingling suspense and tantalizing romance in this thriller about a daring pilot caught in a race against time from #1 New York Times bestselling author Sandra Brown.

Reckless. That’s what they call me.

I rush into burning building to save lives, and I wish it was for a just cause.

It’s not. It’s to prove that I’m worthy of love.

A messed-up knee, and my dreams of being in the NFL are gone.

I’m fearless when it comes to fighting back death. That’s not what f*cks me up.

It’s living that gets me.

The last thing I need in my life is a woman, no matter how bad I want one.

And yet, this one has me pacing the floor.

The single mom who owns my crew’s favorite restaurant is sweet, loving, and hot as hell.

It’s not that easy, though. She’s lost too much in her life to give out free chances to men like me.

But I’m not asking for a chance.

I’m taking it.

A HILARIOUS, WISE, REVEALING ROMP THROUGH FIVE DECADES OF HOLLYWOOD!

“Wow!!! Adrienne, like Mame, has LIVED!!!! And like Candide, she emerges unscathed, as dear as she was when she began. But what a wild ride!!!” —Bette Midler

Originally published in 2006, this L.A. Times bestseller by Tony-nominated actress, iconic “scream queen”, and vampyre thriller author Adrienne Barbeau is many things: a touching coming-of-age journal, an inspiring actor’s handbook on how to survive in the biz, and a witty Hollywood memoir—chronicling five decades of stage, screen, and romance.

There’s only one Adrienne Barbeau, as singular and irreplaceable as Marilyn, Meryl, or Hepburn—and as down-to-earth as any soccer mom (which she is). Only one Swamp Thing girlfriend, only one Ruthie the snake charmer, only one original Rizzo. No other voice in Hollywood can you imagine as Creepshow’s Billie growling, “Get out of the way, Henry, or I swear to God you’ll be wearing your balls for earrings.”

Twelve-year-old Barbeau entrusted her journal with a secret: she must become an actress. She set out with single-minded determination, succeeding on the strengths of an unsurpassed work ethic and discipline, unshakable commitment to the truth of her characters, a soul-stirring voice, a preternaturally perfect beauty, and her bawdy sense of humor—all on full display here!

Barbeau hilariously details her early years as a naif in New York, securing her first apartment with roommates: “One of the girls was an alcoholic…. The other had male friends who left money on the dresser on the nights I’d come home to find myself locked out of the bedroom.” Then getting her first job, as a barmaid: “My boss … is a ‘big man’ in New York—although not a member of the Mafia, they are good friends.” And, memorably, starring on Broadway in Grease. She warmly remembers her two hit television series (Maude and Carnivale), and spins tales of her many television and feature films (The Fog, Escape from New York, Cannonball Run, Swamp Thing, Back to School, Creepshow).

But unlike most showbiz biographies, Barbeau’s story doesn’t stop—or even slow down—at fifty, which finds our heroine newly in love, wandering the halls of the maternity ward a new mother (the only new mother on the floor with an AARP card), becoming a published author (of vampire thrillers!), and taking up trapeze-performance at seventy.

Always behind the scenes of Adrienne’s rise to iconic “scream queen” is the introspective girl, facing her fears to develop her concert singing career, searching for self-knowledge, the right guy, and happiness as a wife and mother with a very busy career—and always pushing the boundaries.

WHO WILL LIKE IT: Fans of Hollywood memoirs, young artists seeking the secrets to success, every starstruck male who was older than thirteen when Maude’s daughter Carol popped into our living rooms, every woman who could use a touch of the encouraging warmth of a friend, anybody who needs a rip-roaring good laugh— or fifty.

“This book will make you laugh, cry, and just root for the skinny little girl with glasses and bushy hair who became a beautiful woman, mother, wife and a darned good actress.” —Electric Review

She can run, but she can never escape her past...

Sophie was abandoned at birth and grew up neglected and abused. Her only friends were computers, until she met Cole Hunter. He became her everything: brother, protector, and partner in crime.  

She believed that nothing could ever tear them apart. Until it did. 

Years later, when news of Cole's murder reaches Sophie, she completely snaps. She will tear down heaven and earth to find his killer, even enlisting the help of her ex-military ex-boyfriend. 

But the more she gets involved with the investigation, the more she puts herself at risk...

----

When Cole was nine years old, he watched his whole family burn to death in a house fire. He became obsessed with architecture and rebuilding his life.

Sophie became his secret weapon. Protecting her was his purpose. But Sophie was damaged right from the start, and Cole always feared he wouldn't be able to save her from her enemies or from herself...

This sexy billionaire needs a bride, and he’s not above buying one!

Real estate mogul Sullivan Bradford’s family is pushing hard for him to get married. When his mom sets up an appointment for him with a matchmaker, he seizes the opportunity. A business arrangement with a suitable candidate is just the thing to get his parents off his back.

The last thing Kinsley Taylor was looking for was a husband, but she can’t afford to turn down the deal Sullivan is offering. Not when becoming his bride will give her the money she needs to save her brother.

Love and babies weren’t part of the agreement…but some contracts were meant to be broken.

Tall, Dark, and tattooed, FBI agent Hudson Blackwell has come home to Crystal Lake to deal with his dying father and leave. He doesn’t believe in much, other than his brothers, his God, and his country. He likes his life simple and hates complications. So running into the-girl-he-let- get-away is one complication he can do without. Yet the flames of desire still burn hot and it’s not so easy to break ties a second time around. Makes a guy wonder…

Can a man who only wants to leave find a reason to stay?

Rebecca Draper is hoping second chance at life will get her back on track. With a failed marriage behind her and a young son to support, this former beauty queen has no time for Hudson Blackwell—yet running into him stirs up things. Hot things. Wild things. The man broke her heart once so getting involved with him would be crazy. Yet he awakens a desire and a need so intense she can’t deny it. It begs the question…

Can a woman who wants love be brave enough to take a chance on a man who could destroy her?

Life doesn’t always play fair.

Clay Wright never dreamed he’d have to move back home to Lake Arrowhead, California to care for his sister, who recently discovered she has MS. But no matter what’s required of him, he’s all in. Being a family man, his sister means the world to him.

Jenny McCaw has lived in the same small lakeside village in the hills of California her whole life. Nothing new ever happens in town. Not until Clay shows up. Sparks fly when their paths collide, but building a relationship with the handsome paramedic is a dream come true.

But life gets in the way. Circumstances beyond their control threaten to tear them apart, leaving them both confused. Clay must choose between what is right… and what his heart wants. Jenny hopes he’ll make the right choice. She’s falling in love.

From the USA Today Bestselling author of 'Truth or Beard', this is a full-length, 110k word novel is the first book in the Knitting in the City series.

There are three things you need to know about Janie Morris: 1) She is incapable of engaging in a conversation without volunteering TMTI (Too Much Trivial Information), especially when she is unnerved, 2) No one unnerves her more than Quinn Sullivan, and 3) She doesn't know how to knit.

After losing her boyfriend, apartment, and job in the same day, Janie Morris can't help wondering what new torment fate has in store. To her utter mortification, Quinn Sullivan- aka Sir McHotpants- witnesses it all then keeps turning up like a pair of shoes you lust after but can't afford. The last thing she expects is for Quinn- the focus of her slightly, albeit harmless, stalkerish tendencies- to make her an offer she can't refuse.

JUNE 14, 2014: Sequel to Neanderthal SEEKS Human (Neanderthal MARRIES Human) is now available everywhere fine books are sold (and also likely at some pirating sites if you're an evil person and believe stealing is hunky dory).

Two weeks. No strings.

With Adam Callaway I thought I'd found the perfect fling. He was great in bed and only in town for a few hot nights.

There was no way I could have known Adam wouldn't be satisfied with just sex. My craving for his body made me careless. I broke my rules. I let him in. I never thought two weeks could change everything. All I wanted was an escape, what I got was so much more.

Something I couldn't live without once I had it.

When I find out that I'm auditioning to co-host with the sexy British celebrity chef I grew up crushing on, I nearly lose it.

Lucas has had a lot of trouble the past couple of years. A nasty divorce. Binge-drinking. Partying. We won't even talk about those pics of his impressive package that were splashed all over the tabloids.

I'm supposed to be the solution to all Lucas' problems. Meeting him, though, is just the start of mine.

When we set off on a European filming tour, sparks fly.

Lucas is definitely bringing the heat.

I just hope I don't get burned.
