Lucas Mayfield, the Eighth Earl of Heightford, couldn't be more pleased with the private club that is his brainchild. But when a young courtesan at the club's masquerade appears far too innocent, his suspicions are raised-along with his interest...until her gleaming hair tumbles down and he recognizes her as the Duke of Chatterwood's beautiful daughter. How did the minx even know the place existed? And how has he allowed himself to give in to temptation and kiss her? Even more perplexing is this: she has vowed the kiss won't be the last.

Until he's not. Left with nothing, Jamie joins the army hoping it will give her purpose. The last thing she expects is the best friend from her past to reappear in the dusty plains of a war-torn country. No longer the boy she once knew, Bear is now a man: big, bearded, and SAS-one of the army's elite.

Does true love come along more than once in a lifetime? Maddie Kershaw doesn't think so. She lost the love of her life in the 9/11 attacks, and since then has hopped from one casual fling to the next. But when she delivers an erotic cake to a one-hundredth birthday party by mistake, she meets Evan and starts to believe in second chances - until she realises there's a risk of getting hurt all over again. Evan Quinn is serially single, yet when he meets Maddie he feels an instant connection, so much so that he confesses on their first date that he may have testicular cancer.

He's the Duke of Carlisle, leader of a secret branch of the Home Office charged with keeping the peace amidst great peril and upheaval. By day, he hunts anarchists and murderers with savage intensity. By night, he rules over London's darkest, most depraved souls. But he's about to meet his match in his latest prisoner. She's a strong, independent woman who's fearless and determined. She's unlike any lady he's ever known, as unfettered and plucky as can be. She's Bridget O'Malley, a trusted member of the underground organization to gain Irish independence.

Most hated girl at HCH? #check. Most feared girl at HCH? #check. Turning friends into enemies on a daily basis? #check. Realizing everything I thought I knew and loved is a f*cking lie? #triplecheck. Someone is after me. And in typical Hidden Creek High fashion, the list of suspects is deeper than my feelings for Wes. Oh, he's on that list too, trust me. He swears by his promise to protect me. But when things get worse, he's darker than I ever thought possible. I live in a world where friends are enemies and enemies are friends.

Ready to leave HCH for good? #check. Throwing my middle fingers up on my way out the doors? #check. Making sure every b*tch who deserves it pays? #check. Finding out all the truth, even the ones I may not want to know? #triplecheck. And here I thought I could finally get away from my past. But nope. It's like a f*cking revolving door. And to top it off, I'm at a funeral saying goodbye to someone I never thought I would have to say goodbye to. The lines of right and fair no longer exist. It's every guy, girl, and rotten whore for themselves in this town.

My darkest secret exposed? #check. About to be kicked out of school? #check. Everyone waiting for me to lose my sh*t? #check. The line between friends and enemies so blurred I need f**king glasses to see? #checkcheckandcheck Wes might be all I have at the moment, good or bad. He's as wild as ever, and I know it's my fault. He's not made for love, and I'm not made to be pushed around. Together, it's explosive - in more ways than one. And when I set my sights on revenge, I have to keep it close to my heart. Except there's one problem with that. Wes is close to my heart too.

House burned down? #check Forced back to my old hometown? #check Rumors, drama, and b*tches? #checkcheckandcheck What could make things worse for me? One name. Weslee freakin' Jackson. The worst of the worst. The one I'm told by EVERYONE to stay away from. Which should be easy, right? Nope. He's everywhere I go. Stalking me? Maybe. Dark brooding eyes trying to devour me? All the time. There's just one little thing...Wes's eyes aren't the only ones on me. And I think I've started a war. Oops. I didn't ask to be put in this position as I find myself gravitating toward Wes.

Jade Mackenzie left her high-society family's expectations behind when she came back to cozy Haven, and she's never been happier. But what's supposed to be a quick trip to Nashville for a cousin's wedding turns into a disaster when one of the airport's pilots offers to fly her there. One crash landing and a shared room later, and tattooed, bearded Cash Miller is standing in as her gorgeously unsuitable plus-one-and turning her on in ways she can't deny. But a relationship? A real one? That's definitely in the no-fly zone.
