A love match turns into a lonely marriage. Will Clare and Emmett reconcile their differences before it's too late?

From USA Today bestselling author Stacy Henrie, comes an inspirational historical romance BENEATH AN ITALIAN SKY, An American Heiress novel.

BENEATH AN ITALIAN SKY
--1908--
American heiress Clare Herschel made what she hoped was a love match when she married the handsome, witty Emmett Markham, the Earl of Linwood. A little over a year into her marriage, though, Clare finds herself wintering in Sicily--alone. She is sure the mild climate is the answer to avoiding another miscarriage and Emmett's apparent indifference, so she's determined to remain in Italy as long as possible. The last person she expects to show up at the villa is her husband, especially when Emmett confesses he's there to convince her to return to England.

As the only surviving son of a marquess, Emmett has done everything his father has asked of him--even agreeing to run for a seat in the House of Commons. However, this latest task comes with a nearly impossible caveat. He must convince his wife Clare to come back to England with him in order for them to appear to be a happy couple for his political campaigning. Emmett isn't confident Clare will agree to the plan, though, not when she seems to want nothing to do with him or the life they'd begun building before she abruptly left him for Italy.

When a massive earthquake strikes Messina, Sicily, claiming the lives of thousands, Clare and Emmett must set aside their mutual misgivings about their marriage in order to survive and lend a helping hand to others. But in the wake of the destruction, they begin to realize they've been given a chance to decide if their love is stronger than the upheavals of the past.

The first in a fun, flirty new series from Mia Sosa!

After a very public breakup with a media-hungry politician, fitness trainer Tori Alvarez escapes to Aruba for rest, relaxation, and copious amounts of sex on the beach--the cocktail, that is. She vows to keep her vacation a man-free zone but when a cute guy is seated next to her on the plane, Tori can't resist a little harmless flirting.

Hollywood heartthrob Carter Stone underwent a dramatic physical transformation for his latest role and it's clear his stunning seat mate doesn't recognize the man beneath the shaggy beard and extra lean frame. Now Carter needs help rebuilding his buff physique and Tori is perfect for the job. It doesn't hurt that she makes his pulse pound in more ways than one.

Sparks are flying, until a pesky paparazzo reveals Carter's identity. Tori is hurt and pissed. She wants nothing to do with another man in the limelight, but she's still got to whip him into shape. Can Carter convince Tori he's worth the threat to her privacy that comes with dating a famous actor, or will Tori chisel him down to nothing before he even gets the chance?

Grab the popcorn...

She's far too old for me, but age is just a number.
 
 Crazily enough, I've loved her since I was a little boy.
 
But I'm not little anymore.
 
And she's a widow now.
 
No way in hell I'm letting this chance go by now that I'm in her hometown.
 
I don't give a damn what people say.
 
The biggest struggle is to get this beautiful woman to see me as more than a rowdy Dawson boy.
 
I've got more to offer her than any man she might find.
 
Prying my way into her life isn't going to be easy, but it'll be more than worth it.
 
My heart is already hers. Time to add in my future, my money, and my body.
 
Hope she's willing to light up the night with me.
 
'Cause there's a storm rolling in.
 
Me. 

Don't touch the boss's daughter.

The only rule in the family, leave Russo's daughter alone.
Stay close, keep her safe, but hands-off.
Except when he tries to marry her off.
I can't let that happen.
Those beautiful brown eyes.
Delicious curves.
Skin so soft under my fingers.
What was the rule?
I can't remember anymore.
Because all I want is Alliana.
And nothing will stop me from getting her.

Luca is the first book in the Sinful Shadows Mafia series.

To Katie life was simple. She wanted a little house in upper Boston, and four kids fathered by her best friend Jason, who she’s been infatuated with since she was eight. After a devastating family secret is exposed, all she wants now is to escape the media hype that follows her everywhere she turns. Leaving her family, friends, and Jason behind, she travels to places she’s only read about, to find a father she’s never known.


Jason is on a mission and he’s come halfway around the world to complete it. Despite his feelings for Katie, he won’t let her resistance deter him, even if it means she’ll never trust him again. As their world spirals out of control, their relationship will be tested and changed forever. If he can keep them alive and out of harm’s way, he may have a chance to make everything right.

The magic of love is in the air.

College student Mallie is on her way home when she gets hit by a car, and falls into a coma she can't awaken from.

Daniel is a lawyer whose plans change drastically because of a brain aneurysm.

From two different worlds, they find themselves unconscious and fighting for their lives, two doors away from each other in the same hospital. What they don't expect is the magic that brings their souls together.

But can a love found in such a way survive the journey back to the physical world?

I hired her to help my daughter sleep easy, 

But now I want her in my bed! 

Julie: my daughter’s new nanny and my …

Damn, this is so wrong, 

Give yourself a break Ricky. 

She’s your employee and so much younger and…innocent. 

But what if I want to claim her innocence, 

What if her love warms my heart, 

What if her curves ignite that flame of passion once again!

And what if my daughter is falling in love with her too. 

But just when I think my damaged past is over, 

And never again going to haunt me, 

She disappears…

Would the strength of my love ever bring her back? 

Would she ever have the guts to stand up against her own family?

I know it’s so wrong, but my best friend needs to know.

So, how do we say it?

Hey, I’m pregnant with your father’s child! You’re gonna be a big sister! Yay!!!

No, this can’t happen.

She can’t know. No one can know.

I always understood he was off limits,

But I couldn’t imagine my life without him.

In fact, I saved myself for him!

And working at his restaurant was…fun.

My ‘let’s seduce Michael plan’ was working, 

And soon he was feeding me chocolate covered strawberries,

And I was tasting whipped cream off of his lips and…you know what…

But we screwed up…big time!

So, time for Plan B now.

Yep, when shit hits the fan, I do the easy thing and run away.

Will my Prince Charming come after me?

Or did I just ruin my only chance at a happily ever after?

Who would have thought that a fake engagement could lead to a real love story?

When thoughtful, careful Talia is presented with an outlandish plan by her boss to protect her from his player brother, she decides to go along with it. After all, she doesn’t want to be subjected to Sam’s supposedly lecherous advances, and isn’t in a position to turn down the healthy bonus her boss is offering- not with the responsibility of caring for her sick mother. But all of that changes when she meets Sam: sexy, loyal, charming, and whip-smart, he quickly breaks down every one of Talia’s carefully maintained walls until there’s only one thing left to do: fall for her fake fiance’s brother.

It takes a monster to catch one.

ZANE WALKER—FBI, Magickal Crimes Division
There’s a reason the bureau sends me undercover with the worst drug cartels in the world—my magick is as illegal and dirty as the enhancers they peddle. Just the kind that "Pennies" Machnik—Dziki crime lord—likes to use on his enemies. Being his enforcer lets me keep my own monster locked up while I build a case against him. If I can bring Pennies in, maybe I can finally put the stigma of what I am behind me. But when people start overdosing on his street drugs, a beautiful witch storms in, making demands she thinks she can back up with magick. I have to make a split second choice... and the monster comes raging out.

EVER STRANGE—CEO, Strange Medical Technologies
Someone has killed my father. They made it look like an overdose, but Asher Strange, the world-renown researcher of medical magick, never took an illegal drug in his life… much less tawdry magick enhancers. I run the family empire, but no one was more proud of the Strange family name than my father. A long line of us stretches back to the first days of High Magick—no way he would throw that away chasing a quick high. But before I can get an autopsy, my father’s body disappears… and being a Level One mage and one of the richest women in the city means I will get answers.

Someone’s putting deadly magick into street drugs… and it’s killing people all over Chicago. Zane’s magick is monstrous, and Ever’s power brings out his beast. But she insists on finding her father; and keeping her safe has suddenly become his job—on top of stopping an epidemic of overdoses that just might be cover for a serial killer. Together, they work to stop the dark magick that’s stalking the streets of Chicago… and try to keep their own secrets from consuming them both.

Ever Strange is the first book in a new paranormal romantic suspense series from bestselling romance author Alisa Woods. The first three books in the series (Ever Strange, Mercy Strange, Verity Strange) follow the three Strange sisters, each powerful witches in an influential magickal family embroiled in a mysterious plot to change everything about the magickal world. Part urban fantasy, Legal Magick takes place in an alternate Chicago where High Magick returned in 1859 and is now integral in every aspect of the legal—and illegal—world. Each book is a standalone romance.

This guy could offer me the moon, and I’d hand it right back.

Never in a million years did I expect to run into the biggest crush of my childhood.

But, of course, I have.

And I’m reporting to him at the new company I landed a big-time job at.

Arrogant. Hot as hell. Total jackass.

Why he’s still single is no mystery to me. He’s not willing to settle down.

He’s always been that way, and as far as I’m concerned, he always will be.

But, boy, is he beautiful to look at. Every part of me screams "run" as my insides turn to mush.

No. Not me too…

Not again. I should be immune by now.

I know him far too well to fall into this hopeless pit of adoration again.

But maybe there’s a way around it. It’s his power that drives me over the edge of insanity.

If I were the boss instead of him, I’d hold all the cards.

Good thing I’m always up for a challenge.

Funnily enough, this guy thinks he’s going to score.

He might have to redefine what getting lucky looks like after me.

At least, that’s the plan.

This is book 1 of a 3 book series. You will have to read books 2 and 3 to complete the story.
