There are three things you need to know about Elizabeth Bennett: she’s smart as a whip, always in control, and lives by a set of carefully crafted rules. She’s learned the hard way that people you love the most always hurt you in the end. But then she meets Declan Blay, the new neighbor at her apartment complex. A tattooed British street fighter, he’s the campus bad boy she’s supposed to avoid, but when he saves her from a frat party gone bad, all her rules about sex and love fly out the window. She gives him one night of unbridled passion, but he longs for more. With only a cardboard-thin wall separating their bedrooms, he dreams of possessing the vulnerable girl next door forever. One night. Two damaged hearts. The passion of a lifetime. *a modern love story inspired by Pride and Prejudice*

Ethan Craymore almost destroyed his career by mixing work with his particular brand of pleasure. After being blacklisted from practically every fine restaurant on the entire Eastern seaboard, he jumps at the invitation to be the Head Chef at Le Poisson d’Azur in San Francisco. Having learned his lesson, Ethan vows to never again let his desires interfere with his career. That is until he realizes that his new Sous Chef, Veronica Delaware, is as alluring as she is compatible… Veronica is haunted by the voice of her rock-star ex-fiancé. A year of keeping her head down and throwing herself into her work left her unprepared for the new Head Chef. Ethan is everything Veronica has ever desired in a man. Gorgeous, tall, and commanding, his only fault is that he is a complete and utter asshole to everyone under his management. Convinced that she will never like him, Veronica is shocked when a brutal attack forces the two of them together. Ethan turns out to be both a gentleman and a dominant, just what she has always craved… Skylar Nixon is a twenty-seven year old failed actress with no Plan B. After a humiliating stint on a reality TV show crushes what’s left of her childhood dream, she finds herself back in her hometown with no money saved, no college degree, and no confidence she’s anything but a joke—a small town starlet who couldn’t hack it in the big city. When she runs into former classmate Sebastian Pryce, she can’t believe the hot body and chiseled jaw belong to the shy, troubled loner she knew ten years before. He’s not exactly friendly at first, and she’s heard the rumors about his tragic past, but something in his sad eyes intrigues her. She only wants to get to know him better. Until the night she wants more—and takes it. (Hard and deep. Twice.) Are they just two lonely people seeking solace? Or can a disgraced beauty queen and flawed, frustrated man find some sort of happy ever after? **Some Sort of Happy is a full-length romance novel, complete with HEA.**
Handsome bad boy college student Trace Weston surfs, parties, and has a blast in the Palm Beaches as much as possible, sometimes avoiding class and definitely not excited about his imminent future working for his father's company. Lovely Vanessa Summers has escaped a dark, haunting past and moved to Florida to attend the same school and study writing. When she meets Trace, she is instantly taken with his irresistible charm. The bad news: she meets him because he’s lost a poker bet and is sentenced to a 30-day "vanilla" relationship with this girl he knows nothing about. While both Trace and Vanessa struggle to keep their secrets hidden, they can’t deny how attracted and excited they are about each other. But their pasts and promises threaten to erupt around them. Will they be able to find who and what is trying to keep them apart and still not lose The Vanilla Bet? |
