Rancher In Her Bed

Every decision Esmerelda Giles has made in her life has led her to the mess she's currently in-an unemployed antiques dealer with a repossessed vehicle and no romantic prospects. Then again, she doesn't have much interest in guys since her touchy-feely former boss crossed her personal boundaries one too many times. Normally, she would have never embarked on a blind date, let alone one that wanted to meet her at the risqué Club Paradise in South Beach. But Esme is no longer following her obviously horrendous instincts and throws caution to the wind for a single night.  Renzo Cesare hadn't arranged any blind dates given his recent broken engagement. So he has no business intercepting a bookish antiques dealer out for adventure and pretending to be her date. Yet how could he let someone as sinfully sweet as Esme Giles fend for herself in the provocative playground for singles? He never guessed just how much adventure she was really looking for until he finds himself headed back to her room for the night. Something he can't allow to happen without confessing his ruse. Sure he understands why she's ready to throw away the hottest chemistry this side of Mexico once she learns the truth. But Renzo has an idea for a project that just might save both their careers, and land them in the right bed--- together-after all! *an earlier draft of this work previously published by Harlequin

Peu avant de prononcer ses vœux définitifs, Mélissande Deverell, une jeune et jolie novice, est enlevée au sein même de son couvent français par un audacieux ravisseur qui se révèle être un ami d’enfance, le chevalier Lucian Barret. Brièvement, ce dernier lui explique avoir pour mission de la ramener en Angleterre afin qu’elle y épouse son frère Roarke comme elle en a jadis émis le souhait. Outrée, Mélissande s’insurge. Elle s’est crue autrefois éprise de Roarke, mais elle n’était alors qu’une fillette et, depuis, ses rêves ont changé ! Et pourquoi celui-ci, après des années de silence, se souvient-il subitement de son existence ? Et plus inquiétant encore : pourquoi Lucian affirme-t-il vouloir, par ce rapt, « s’acquitter d’une lourde dette envers sa famille » ?

La fiancée captive

Interior decorator Josie Passano needs a unique and marketable project to cement her presence on the design scene. Renovating a classic sailboat interior is an opportunity she won't miss - even when her over-indulged wealthy client demands a midnight meeting to fit into his busy schedule. After previewing the boat at her host's invitation, she settles in to wait, popping Dramamine to avert any potential for seasickness. Unfortunately, the medicine makes her more than a little drowsy, and would it really be the end of the world if she closed her eyes for just a minute? Confident she'll hear her client's arrival, Josie is dazed and confused when she awakens to the hottest man she's ever seen whispering suggestive ideas in her ear. A man who definitely isn't her client. Business mogul Keith Murphy never would have left shore if he'd realized there was a stowaway on board. But he forgets all about turning the boat around when the woman's sexy dream talk distracts the hell out of him. He  shouldn't talk back- except the words tumble out before he can think the better of them. And seem to seriously turn her on. It's awkward. Sexy. And not at all the right way to meet a woman. So he pulls into the closest marina and buys her breakfast, needing to show her he's an honorable guy. But while they're there, he can't help but pitch a getaway trip on the boat to explore the heat between them. It's quiet, idyllic, and far from the reality of their work lives. Getting swept away never felt so good- until Josie's past threatens to unravel everything. * An earlier draft of this book previously published by Harlequin as Riding the Storm.

Lorsqu'elle découvre, par hasard, qu'on a dissimulé une minuscule caméra dans la bibliothèque qui surplombe son bureau, Marnie est partagée entre la fureur et l'embarras. La fureur, parce qu'elle ne supporte pas l'idée que quelqu'un ait voulu s'immiscer ainsi dans son intimité. L'embarras, car elle n'imaginait pas, en dansant en petite tenue devant son bureau, que quelqu'un profiterait de ce spectacle... Et sa confusion ne fait que croître à l'idée que l'admirateur secret qui a installé cette caméra puisse être Jake Brennan : le menuisier qui a construit cette bibliothèque, quelques semaines plus tôt, et qui, accessoirement, occupe depuis ce jour-là toutes ses pensées et nourrit chacun de ses fantasmes...
