Новинки Кристен Каллихен

Когда-то у меня была прекрасная жизнь. Я известная актриса, сыгравшая главную роль в популярном сериале. Но все рухнуло в один миг. Я осталась без работы, а мой парень оказался в постели с другой девушкой. Просто класс.

Я решила взять паузу и отправиться залечивать душевные раны в поместье Роузмонт, где живет подруга моей бабушки. Оказалось, что у владелицы поместья есть внук Люсьен. К тому же чертовски привлекательный. Хоккеист в прошлом, сейчас затворник с невыразимой тоской во взгляде. Очаровательный, скрытный и грубый. Несмотря на взаимное притяжение, мы стараемся избегать друг друга. Но ночные прогулки и сладкие десерты Люсьена искушают меня вновь почувствовать вкус жизни...

Мы ненавидим друг друга с самого детства. Мейкон Сэйнт всегда был хорош собой, но я знаю, что он — сущий дьявол. Вдобавок к его скверному характеру, он еще и встречался с моей противной сестрой Самантой. Так себе расклад. Когда Мейкон и Сэм расстались, я была безумно рада! Думала, больше никогда его не увижу.

Но я ошиблась. Десять лет спустя мне пришло сообщение.

Сэм украла ценную вещь у Мейкона, а он — восходящая звезда Голливуда. И этот наглец намерен идти в полицию.

Чтобы выплатить долг Саманты, я стала… личным поваром и помощницей Мейкона Сэйнта! Хуже не придумаешь. Как и в детстве, между нами летают искры. Только если раньше они имели привкус горечи, то теперь я чувствую сладость. Надеюсь, мой новый рецепт по выплате долга не обернется полной катастрофой.

Od wrogów do kochanków.
Pełna emocji opowieść o poznawaniu się na nowo, walce z uprzedzeniami i akceptowaniu własnych, skrywanych przez lata uczuć.

On, Macon Saint, jest bogatym, seksownym aktorem, który został gwiazdą dzięki roli w popularnym serialu. Ona, Delilah Baker, jest szefową kuchni świetnie prosperującej firmy cateringowej. Znają się od dzieciństwa i od tamtego czasu łączy ich niechęć, rywalizacja, pogarda i nienawiść - w każdym razie to właśnie czuje Delilah do Macona. A Macon?... Czyżby on miał inne zdanie na temat ich relacji? Może zawsze potajemnie ją podziwiał? Tak czy inaczej, on był najprzystojniejszym chłopakiem w szkole, a ona niepozorną dziewczyną o umyśle ostrym jak brzytwa i jeszcze ostrzejszym języku. Prócz wrogich uczuć w czasach szkolnych łączyło ich jeszcze jedno – jej siostra Samantha, która przez całe liceum była dziewczyną znienawidzonego Sainta. Z chwilą, gdy on zrywa z Sam na balu na zakończenie szkoły, znika z życia sióstr Baker na długie dziesięć lat.

I pojawia się równie nagle, jak zniknął – poszukuje Sam, która podstępem została jego asystentką, ukradła mu cenny zegarek i wyjechała. Po nieudanych poszukiwaniach siostry Delilah postanawia odpracować u Macona pieniądze, które stracił. Czy Macon zgodzi się na jej propozycję naprawienia nie swoich błędów? Czy dziewczyna zdecyduje się na dwuznaczną propozycję zamieszkania w jego rezydencji?

Brenna

There are some people in life who know exactly how to push your buttons. For me, it’s Rye Peterson. We can’t spend more than ten minutes together before we’re at each other’s throats, which makes working together that much harder. Rye is the bassist for Kill John, the biggest rock band in the world, and I am his publicist. It doesn’t help that the man is gorgeous, funny, talented, and…never takes anything seriously. Avoidance is key.

But everything changes when he overhears something he shouldn’t: a confession made in a moment of weakness. Now the man I’ve tried so hard to ignore is offering me the greatest temptation of all—him.

Rye

Brenna James is the one. The one I can’t have. The one I can’t get out of my mind. Believe me, I’ve tried; the woman loathes me. I managed well enough—until I heard her say she’s as lonely as I am. That she needed to be touched, held, satisfied. And I could no longer deny the truth: I wanted to be the one to give her what she craved.

I convinced her that it would just be sex, mutual satisfaction with nothing deeper. But the moment I have her, she becomes my world. I’ve never given her a good reason to trust me before. Now, I’ve got to show Brenna that we’re so much better together than we ever were apart.

Things are going to get messy. But getting messy with Brenna is what I do best.

As kids, they hated each other. Macon Saint was beautiful, but despite his name, Delilah knew he was the devil. That he dated her slightly evil sister, Samantha, was no picnic either. When they broke up, it was a dream come true: Delilah never had to see him again.

Ten years later, her old enemy sends a text.

Delilah’s sister has stolen a valuable heirloom from Macon, now a rising Hollywood star, and he intends to collect his due. One problem: Sam has skipped town.

Sparks still sizzle between Macon and Delilah, only this heat feels alarmingly like unwanted attraction. But Delilah is desperate to keep her weak-hearted mother from learning of her sister’s theft. So she proposes a deal: she’ll pay off the debt by being Macon’s personal chef and assistant.

It’s a recipe for disaster, but Macon can’t stop himself from accepting. Even though Delilah clearly hates him, there’s something about her that feels like home. Besides, they’re no longer kids, and what once was a bitter rivalry has the potential to be something sweeter. Something like forever.

The first time I met Jax Blackwood things went a little sideways.

In my defense, I didn’t know he was Jax Blackwood—who expects a legendary rock star to be shopping for groceries? More importantly, a blizzard was coming and he was about to grab the last carton of mint-chocolate chip.

Still, I might have walked away, but then he smugly dared me to try and take the coveted ice cream. So I kissed him. And distracted that mint-chip right out of his hands.

Okay, it was a dirty move, but desperate times and all that. Besides, I never expected he’d be my new neighbor.

An annoying neighbor who takes great pleasure in reminding me that I owe him ice cream but would happily accept more kisses as payment. An irresistible neighbor who keeps me up while playing guitar naked–spectacularly naked–in his living room.

Clearly, avoidance is key. Except nothing about Jax is easy to ignore—not the way he makes me laugh, or that his particular brand of darkness matches mine, or how one look from him melts me faster than butter under a hot sun.

Neither of us believes in love or forever. Yet we’re quickly becoming each other’s addiction. But we could be more. We could be everything.

All we have to do is trust enough to fall.

First we were friends. Then we were roommates. Now I want more…

What can I say about Chess Copper? The woman is capable of bringing me to my knees. I know this about five minutes after getting naked for her.

No one is more surprised than me. The prickly photographer my team hired to shoot our annual charity calendar isn’t my usual type. She’s defense to my offense, a challenge at every turn. But when I’m with her, all the regrets and darkness goes away. She makes life fun.

I want to know Chess, be close to her. Which is a bad idea.

Chess is looking for a relationship. I’ve never given a woman more than one night. But when fate leaves Chess without a home, I step up and offer her mine. We’re roommates now. Friends without benefits. But it’s getting harder to keep our hands off each other. And the longer we live together the more I realize she’s becoming my everything.

Trick is… Now that I’ve made her believe I’m a bad bet, how do I convince her to give this player a true shot at forever?

Desperate to avoid losing Layla a second time, Sin will face a test of all his powers to defeat an unstoppable foe - and win an eternity with the woman he loves.

Libby I found Killian drunk and sprawled out on my lawn like some lost prince. With the face of a god and the arrogance to match, the pest won’t leave.

How do you keep an idol when everyone is intent on taking him away? Killian As lead singer for the biggest rock band in the world, I lived a life of dreams.

Ever. He’s a legend in his own right, the manager of the biggest rock band in the world, and an arrogant ass who looks down his nose at me. I thought I’d give him hell for one, long flight. I didn’t expect to like him. I didn’t expect to want him. But the biggest surprise? He wants me too. Only in a way I didn’t see…
