HER ENEMY’S SECRET SON

Discovering he has a child, Xander’s fury knows no bounds. All these years apart haven’t dulled the maelstrom of emotions Laurel provokes in him. He won’t be denied his son. Yet, each fraught interaction with Laurel is scorchingly hot. It’s just a matter of time before they both ignite!

Giaco’s sinful reputation hides a ruthless hunger for vengeance against his father. Marrying the enchanting, saintly Ivy is his final move. He just hadn’t expected their scorching chemistry! As its flames consume the hatred in Giaco’s heart, a more powerful desire is unleashed… 

HEIR TO ITALIAN ALTAR (The Carandini Legacy novel)

Independent Ann-Sophie’s secret liaison with playboy tycoon Alessandro Carandini was very out of character, and very indulgent. Then he walked away, leaving behind the ghost of his caress…plus a nine-month consequence!
Finding Ann-Sophie with a bump, Alessandro demands stability for his child. Although she rips unwelcome emotions from him, a convenient union is the only option. Her rejection of his proposal is unacceptable! Whisking Ann-Sophie to his Italian castle, Alessandro has two weeks to seduce her to the altar—without relinquishing his own control…

Out-of-Office Temptation
by USA TODAY bestselling author Cathy Williams

Every day, Erin Fisher plays Raffaele Rossi’s perfect assistant: capable, efficient, dull. A hint of the secret she hides means she could kiss her job goodbye. As her boss doesn’t tolerate distractions…and Erin’s attraction to him is relentlessly distracting!
Tycoon Raffaele knows work is the one thing that won’t let him down—that, and uber-reliable Erin. Then a business trip to the Caribbean gives him a glimpse under her respectable surface, unleashing a whirlwind of passion! It’s purely an island indulgence…but can they ever call time on their red-hot connection?
