Faking Ms. Right
Summary
“When I kissed you last night, I wasn’t pretending.” Everly Dalton is a walking, talking, martini-drinking dating disaster. Forget kissing frogs. She can’t even get past the first date. But at work, she’s a badass - the longest-running assistant billionaire Shepherd Calloway has ever had. Her coworkers wonder how she handles the big bad wolf and never gets bit. Shepherd Calloway isn’t interested in being anyone’s sugar daddy. Tired of women who only want him for his money, he swears off dating, determined to focus on running his empire. Until his gold-digging ex hits him where it hurts, putting him in a difficult position. His solution to have Everly pose as his live-in girlfriend is obviously crazy, but the timing is uncanny. It just so happens Everly needs a favor from her boss - a big and awkward one - and this could ensure everyone gets what they want. Besides, Everly can totally survive a few months of faux romance. Except there’s a problem. Shepherd is supposed to be a single-minded, unemotional robot boss. Not an actual human with a heart and morning wood. Between the awkward bed-sharing and tingly fake dates, lines are blurring. And as Everly gets to know the real Shepherd, she discovers there’s more to the man behind the bank account. And faking it gets all too real... Faking Ms. Right is a hot, stand-alone romantic comedy.

The Mogul and the Muscle
Summary
“Shh,” he whispered next to my ear. It wasn’t an urgent plea to be quiet. It was a command, delivered with a slight thrust of his hips. He was about to melt my La Perla thong right off me. Cameron Whitbury is used to engineering her way out of any problem. But someone is after her, and she doesn’t know who or why. Throw in the threat of a sex scandal and the frustrating antics of the entitled son of her company’s founder, and she might be in over her head. But sacrifice her privacy to an overprotective bodyguard? No thanks. She doesn’t need a six-foot-five, motorcycle-riding, square-jawed, hazel-eyed man-beast shadowing her every move. Jude Ellis is ready to retire from the cloak and dagger stuff to live a normal life. He doesn’t need another client. Not even one with coppery-red hair and mile-long legs who looks hot AF in a sexy pair of heels. To appease her worried friends, Cameron hires Jude as her bodyguard. And despite their feisty banter and their rampant - and totally inappropriate - sex fantasies, they’re both determined to keep it professional. But as the danger to Cameron escalates, the heat simmering between them just might combust. Author’s note: Big wall-of-man hero with a fierce (and growly) protective streak. Confident and snarky heroine. All the banter. Sex in a closet. And a daring rescue with a big, heart squishing HEA.

Bourbon Bliss
Summary
“I didn’t reply. I couldn’t. Seeing this man’s naked private parts had not rendered me speechless but watching him lick ice cream off his finger had.” (June Tucker) June Tucker doesn’t understand people. Numbers, data, and statistics? Those make sense. People? Not so much. In a town of Friday night fighters and moonshine-swilling line dancers, she’s the odd duck. And that suits her just fine. But her sister and friends are pairing off, and the change is unsettling. George “GT” Thompson was at the top of his game — one of the best receivers in football. But a career-ending injury sidelined him for good. Now he’s hoping to find relief in the healing waters of this tiny West Virginia town. And maybe an idea of what life has in store for him next. He doesn’t expect the no-nonsense girl at the hot spring, telling him he’s not supposed to be there. And pointing out his sizeable…equipment. George is fascinated by June, with her head full of statistics and blunt honesty. He appreciates her in a way most others don’t. And when the local missing persons case takes a shocking turn, he’s by Scooby-June’s side as she digs for the truth. He was her fantasy receiver. Now he’s her real-life boyfriend. But as their relationship heats up, June worries she’s not capable of the kind of intimacy he needs. He's convinced his campaign to get her out of her own head — to stop thinking and feel — will work. But his own crisis could drive them further apart.

Moonshine Kiss
Summary
All those years of adolescent fantasies and this was how Bowie Bodine first touched my boobs. And he apologized. Real life was stupid and unfair.

He made a promise and he’s determined to keep it. But putting distance between them isn’t easy - not when she lives right next door.

Reckless Miles

But things change - people change - and lately, the party life isn’t doing it for him. Enter Amelia Hale. Cooper doesn’t see her coming. But it isn’t every day you meet a girl in a wedding dress in a bar - a girl whose life just took a sharp left turn she wasn’t expecting. Kissing her is totally no big deal. She’s had one hell of a day, and a little kissing lesson by Cooper is bound to make her feel better. The invitation back to her hotel, however...that, he wasn’t expecting. Saying "Yes" to her is reckless. Not because he’s a stranger to a one-night stand. And not because she’s in a wedding dress, and the words this is my first time cross her lips. It’s reckless because she makes him feel things he’s never felt before - big things. Nothing scares Cooper Miles. But this girl? She might be magic, and he has no idea what to do with that.

Book Boyfriend. Alex und Mia (German edition)
Summary
Die Sache ist die: Ich bin kein schlechter Kerl. Mia anzulügen war nicht Teil eines Plans, es war eine simple Notlüge. Erfolg als Liebesromanautor mit einem weiblichen Pseudonym zu haben, gehörte auch nicht zum Plan. Wer hätte denn auch ahnen können, dass meine Bücher Bestseller werden? Und als wäre es nicht schon kompliziert genug, ist Mia auch noch Buchbloggerin und die beste Chat-Freundin meines Alter Egos. Online hält sie mich für die Bestsellerautorin Lexi Logan. Privat kennt sich mich als Alex Lawson und ist in mich verliebt. Ich weiß nicht, wie ich aus dem Schlamassel jemals wieder herauskommen soll. Ich weiß nur eines: wenn Mia herausfindet, wer ich bin, werde ich sie verlieren. Und das darf auf keinen Fall geschehen...

Hot Single Dad - Caleb und Linnea
Summary
Gründe, warum ich aufhören muss, an Linnea zu denken: 1. Sie ist zu jung für mich. 2. Sie ist das Kindermädchen meiner Tochter. An der Stelle könnte ich doch schon aufhören, oder? Ich bin das lebende Klischee. Der alleinerziehende Vater, der scharf auf das Kindermädchen ist. Aber es kommt noch schlimmer: 3. Sie ist meine Schwägerin. Meine Frau starb, als unsere Tochter noch ein Baby war, und Linnea war damals ein ruhiger, unscheinbarer Teenager. Ich kannte sie kaum. Und als mir meine Schwiegereltern jetzt vorschlugen, dass sie nach Seattle zieht, um als Kindermädchen für meine Tochter zu arbeiten, stimmte ich nur ungern zu. Was sollte ich hier auch mit so einem blassen Wesen? Aber da die anderen Kindermädchen alles Reinfälle waren, blieb mir nichts anderes übrig. Ich hatte nicht mit der heißen Blondine mit der Wahnsinnsfigur und diesem hinreißenden Lächeln gerechnet. Und Linnea ist perfekt für meine Tochter - lustig, geduldig und freundlich. Und sie wäre perfekt für mich. Aber so darf ich nicht denken. Und es darf niemals etwas zwischen uns passieren... Übersetzt wurde der Titel von Cécile Lecaux.

Cheeky Room Mate - Weston und Kendra (German edition)
Summary
Diese Wohngemeinschaft war die schlechteste Idee, die ich je hatte... Kendra ist unordentlich, ungeschminkt und trägt zuhause dauernd Pyjamahosen und hat zerzauste Haare. Und dann hat sie auch noch versucht sich mit meinem One-Night-Stand anzufreunden und sie überredet zum Frühstück zu bleiben. Aber so etwas gibt es bei mir nicht. Ich date nicht. Ich benutze keine Worte wie "Freundin" oder ich schreibe ihnen später schnulzige SMS. Beziehungen und Gefühle sind nichts für mich. Mich gibt es für eine Nacht und danach bin ich weg. Ich halte die Leute auf Distanz und ich habe meine Gründe dafür. Und damit lebe ich ganz wunderbar. Aber als mir plötzlich mein ganzes Leben um die Ohren fliegt, gibt es nur eine Person, die für mich da ist: Kendra...
