Aquellas fiestas les reservaban una gran sorpresa

Para su sorpresa, la decoradora de interiores Paige Halliday recibió un regalo de un misterioso benefactor. Aunque fue Sam Balfour, el atractivo desconocido que le hizo entrega del mismo, el que la dejó sin palabras.

Paige nunca se había sentido tan atraída por un hombre, y mucho menos por uno que se negase a revelarle la verdad. Ya había conocido a algunos playboys como él y, aunque tenía claro que no se iba a dejar manipular, podía dejar que Sam la mimase… un poco. Al fin y al cabo, pensaba ser capaz de disfrutar de él sin encariarse demasiado. Pero el destino parecía tener otros planes para ambos....

Free-spirited Molly Preston, a former lingerie model who must work for ten months out of each year to keep her vast inheritance, is hired to watch the niece and nephew of hot young Broadway producer Dom Longstreet, a challenging assignment that lands her a starring role in Dom's love life....

Lady Nicole Daughtry has vowed never to be vulnerable to any man. Despite the many suitors vying for the dazzling beauty's hand, she has seen the damage love can inflict and wants no part of it. Until she meets Lucas Paine, Marquess of Basingstoke, whose aura of danger and mystery draws her like no other….

Lucas is a man with a mission—and a powerful thirst for revenge. The last thing he can afford is the distraction of a pretty face. But a scandalous affair with Nicole could be just the cover he needs to outwit his enemies. With treachery everywhere, and Nicole's very life in his hands, Lucas will face his greatest challenge yet—to keep the lady safe from harm… and his heart safe from her....

Jessica Sunshine—bright, warm and downright deadly if one got too close. That's the lesson homicide detective Matt Denby learned the hard way when he teamed up with the youngest Sunshine sister. Sure, he wanted to help solve her father's murder. But being on the case—day and night—with the sultry TV reporter was driving him up the wall…in more ways than one. Jessica steamed through life and into danger without regard. And Matt was hell-bent on protecting the vixen. But who was going to back him up once the blond bombshell turned her charms on him?...

He'd returned from war a duke. Now Rafael Daughtry was battling a force more terrifying than Napoleon's army—his family. Thankfully, his childhood friend Charlotte Seavers had agreed—reluctantly—to a bargain. While Rafe would provide her with the home she'd lost, Charlotte would provide him with a chaperone for his unruly twin sisters.

But who would chaperone Rafe? For the feisty young girl he remembered had blossomed into a sensual woman—a woman whose haunting beauty and deeply kept secrets drew him like no other. Charlotte had good reason to mistrust men—yet could Rafe's sizzling seduction convince her to give in to temptation?...

Mystery author Maggie Kelly had enough on her mind wondering how she was going to keep her fictional Regency Era creation from dropping to one knee with a marriage proposal. Then a murderer crosses the foul line--way too close to home...

Another day, another crime scene.

Maggie wouldn't mind putting a little distance between herself and the hunky Regency hero of her novels, Alexandre Blake, the Viscount Saint Just, who has miraculously come to life with talk of sweeping her straight down the aisle. But now that her parents have split up, Maggie is having trouble resisting Alex's tender loving care. So she invites him along to visit her family. Unfortunately, they arrive just in time to watch her father being taken away in handcuffs as a murder suspect!

Thank goodness she has her very own romance hero.

The local police are convinced Evan Kelly has killed his bowling buddy, who happened to be having an affair with Maggie's mom. It doesn't help that Evan's bowling ball was found next to the dead body. Her dad may have had motive, but Maggie knows he's definitely no killer. Luckily, she has Alex riding to the rescue--and making her wonder if a happily ever after might not be out of her league after all......

Jade Sunshine isn't one to back down from a challenge. That feisty spirit is what made billionaire business-whiz Courtland Becket fall in love with the sexy detective. It's also what led to their divorce. Now, with the murder of Jade's father, the exes are working together to catch a killer, though the chemistry still crackling between them makes it almost impossible to focus.

Jade is still as fearless as ever, and Court will move heaven and earth to protect her. And he just may have to. A lot can happen in twenty-four hours. They could be swept away on a wave of rekindled passion. Or end up the next check mark on a desperate killer's "to do" list....

All mystery author Maggie Kelly wants for Christmas is to snuggle under the mistletoe with her fictional Regency Era creation who's miraculously come to life. Too bad someone has something a bit more sinister in mind for Maggie this holiday season...

She hasn't always been nice...

Maggie is still marveling at the fact that the drop-dead gorgeous Regency hero of her novels--Alexandre Blake, the Viscount Saint Just--has miraculously come to life and is shacking up in her 21st century apartment. Unfortunately, the handsome rake is demanding more than a few heart-melting kisses under the mistletoe. For one thing, he's hellbent on being her protector, even though Maggie's made it quite clear she's no helpless damsel in distress. For another, he's made himself quite comfortable--in her bed. (Not that she's complaining...)

But she's definitely never been this naughty... What is troubling Maggie, though, is that ever since Alex turned up, she's developed this nasty habit of tripping over dead bodies. And when she receives an overnight package with a not-so-merry present, it's obvious she's become the next victim to be crossed off some homicidal maniac's list. At least Alex is finally feeling useful. Now if only he'd stop talking about making her his bride and continuing the family name...
