Vášnivý Američan a vypočítavá Britka rovná se vír emocí! Riggs Bates je sice miliardář, ale ví, že peníze štěstí nekoupí. Své bohatství drží v tajnosti a k ženám přistupuje stejně jako ke svým jídlům – třikrát denně a pokaždé jinou. Až do chvíle, kdy ho při milostném setkání s vdanou novinářkou přistihne její ambiciózní asistentka. Daphne „Duffy“ Markhamová chce v životě dvě věci: dobře se vdát a zůstat ve Spojených státech. Když se její téměř snoubenec vydá „hledat sám sebe“ a jejímu pracovnímu vízu končí platnost, Duffy se uchýlí k jediné věci, která jí zbývá – vydírání. Naštěstí Riggs potřebuje stejně jako ona záminku, aby mohl zůstat v New Yorku, a tak jejich první setkání rychle vede k neochotnému zasnoubení. Vyzbrojeni přísnými domácími pravidly a vzájemnou nechutí Riggs a Duffy brzy zjistí, že nelze popřít jiskru mezi nimi... ani fakt, že toto falešné manželství začíná být až příliš skutečné.

Kedysi si boli blízki. Ona bola najlepšou kamarátkou jeho mladšej sestry. On bol nedosiahnuteľným idolom všetkých tínedžeriek, ktorý vedel o jej strachu z mužov. Pred štyrmi rokmi však ich životy zasiahla trpká zrada... Calla bez slova zmizla do New Yorku. Z Rowa sa stal slávny šéfkuchár s michelinskou hviezdou. Na pohrebe jej otca sa znovu stretnú. Calla sa rozhodne zostať na pár týždňov s mamou, ale je bez práce a bez peňazí... a naďalej bojuje s paralyzujúcou úzkosťou, ktorú roky skrýva za úsmev a ostrý jazyk. Row vlastní luxusnú reštauráciu a nový súbor pravidiel: žiadne city – žiadne komplikácie. A už vôbec nie Calla Litvinová. Lenže ona je späť. A je krajšia. Drzejšia. Smelšia. Provokuje ho pohľadom. Dráždi slovami. A zakaždým, keď vstúpi do miestnosti, Row zabúda na vlastných démonov. Každý dotyk páli. Každá hádka podnecuje túžbu. Každé napäté ticho je predohrou k výbuchu vášne, ktorá sa už nedá zastaviť. Otázka neznie, či medzi nimi opäť preskočí iskra. Otázka je, čo zhorí skôr – kuchyňa, zábrany… alebo ich srdcia?

Je tu. V mojom dome. Odkázaná na mňa... a moje slová. Myslí si, že nás spájajú celé roky vášne. A ja? Nemám dôvod ju vyvádzať z omylu. S Briar sme vždy boli nedokončený príbeh. Teraz prišiel čas dopísať záverečnú kapitolu. Do poslednej strany. Do posledného vzdychu. Horúco. Divoko. Bez milosti.

Devon Whitehall is 6’2” of premium DNA, financial security, and British royal titles. Best of all, he fears the one thing she dreads the most: getting hitched. Emmabelle figures it’s a no-brainer when Devon offers his services—sperm and involvement in her future child’s life. What begins as an innocent, modern-family arrangement, quickly erodes into a web of lies, dark pasts, and unfurled secrets. Inside this chaos, Emmabelle and Devon are forced to face the awful truth—they are capable of love. Even worse, they might feel it toward each other.

Es ist der ideale Deal: ein Kind zeugen, gemeinsames Sorgerecht, aber mehr nicht. Doch obwohl Emmabelle sich nie an einen Mann binden wollte, kommt sie nicht gegen die starken Gefühle an, die sie plötzlich für Devon empfindet ...

A shell of the woman she once was, she takes her days one at a time, careful not to allow herself the joy she believes others in her life were robbed of. But when the mysterious, handsome Dominic storms into her life, it becomes more difficult to stay in solitude. Dominic is different: adventurous, joyous, with lust for life and a passion to make her his. Everlynne is on the cusp of reinventing herself once again when the old wounds of her past are resurrected, rawer than ever. There is nothing worse than being in love with two men. Especially when one of them hates you.

Една любовна нощ във вълшебната Ирландия, където търсех, но не открих коя съм. Един мъж, когото пожелах така силно, че захвърлих всичко и му се отдадох. А после трябваше да го загубя. В момент на лудост подписахме договор, който ни задължаваше, ако в случай на чудо пътищата ни се пресекат отново, да зарежем всичко и да бъдем заедно. Осем години по-късно чудото се случи. Той беше тук, в Ню Йорк. И Америка лудееше по музиката му. Недостъпният ирландски бард на любовта, пред когото музикалните компании коленичеха. При последната ни среща той беше уличен музикант, който пленяваше минувачите. И не искаше нищо повече. А днес е крал, който притежава света. Но аз вече не съм онази сломена принцеса, чиито парчета той събра в ирландската нощ. Имам кариера, която обичам. Имам красив и верен приятел, когото обожавам. Друга съм. Той също. Но чудото се случи. И той иска да изпълня обещаното.

Пен: Живея за отмъщението си. Четири години страдам заради това, което Дария Фоло­ухил ми причини, и сърцето ми вече е само лед. Взех си първата ѝ целувка. Тя взе единственото, което обичах. Бях беден. Тя богата. Сега обаче съм най-бляскавият проект на родителите ѝ. Живея в къщата ѝ и мога да съм неин мъчител. Дария Фолоухил си въобразява, че е Кралицата. Заел съм се да ѝ докажа, че не е нищо повече от разглезена принцеса. Дария: Всички виждат само бляскавата външност. Кралицата, на която всички завиждат. Не знаят за сълзите. Високите и тънки като игли токчета пробиват стра­хотни дупки, когато стъпваш с тях по хората. Един слънчев ден така пробих сърцето на Пен Скъли, че от него потече кръв, а после го метнах в кофа за боклук. Сега обаче той живее в стаята отсреща и аз искам него, него, само него. Но той е капитанът на отбора, който всички от моята гимназия мрази, и мой доведен брат. И иска да си платя за всичко.
