Gefährliche Liebe
by TA MooreDer Scheidungsanwalt Clayton Reynolds ist ein überzeugter Zyniker, der an harte Arbeit und One-Night-Stands glaubt. Außerdem ist er der Meinung, dass er als exzellenter Anwalt nie mehr nach Hause – in die elende Wohnwagensiedlung, in der er aufgewachsen ist – zurückkehren muss. Mit ehrenamtlicher Arbeit für ein Frauenhaus versucht er das schlechte Gewissen zu beruhigen, das ihn gelegentlich plagt. Als Nadine Graham mit einem gebrochenen Arm und einem Sohn erscheint, den sie verzweifelt beschützen will, kann Clayton ihre Bitte um Hilfe daher nicht abschlagen. Die Annahme des Falls bedeutet jedoch auch, den Ermittlungsbeamten „nennt mich einfach nur Kelly“ um Unterstützung bitten zu müssen. Das wäre gar nicht so schlimm, wenn Kelly nicht ein hoffnungsloser Romantiker wäre und außerdem der heißeste Mann, dem Clayton je begegnet ist. Kelly hat immer schon für den unerreichbaren Clayton Reynolds geschwärmt. Er willigt ein, zu helfen, obwohl er mit dem mutterlosen Baby, das sein verwitweter Bruder bei ihm gelassen hat, eigentlich schon genug um die Ohren hat. Als Nadines Fall eine gefährliche Wendung nimmt und die zwei scheinbar gegensätzlichen Männer zur Zusammenarbeit gezwungen werden, entdecken sie, dass sie sehr viel gemeinsam haben. Die Lösung des Falls und die Rettung von Nadines Leben könnten Kelly jedoch alles kosten.
Gefangen: Vom Mafiaboss Entführt
by Laura LagoSie war die Tochter meines schlimmsten Alptraums. Mein größter Feind. Eine Porzellanpuppe, jung und leicht zu verführen. Leicht zu verführen, wenn Sie ein Alpha-Männchen sind, Anführer von Amerikas größtem Mob, Bauchmuskeln aus Stahl haben und daran gewöhnt sind, sich zu nehmen, was Sie wollen, wann Sie wollen und wie Sie wollen. Und in diesem Moment wollte Marco sie. Der Sex war explosiv. Brutal. Ich hätte nicht einmal gedacht, dass ein solches Kind mit 18 Jahren so wilde Fantasien haben könnte. Jetzt sind 2 Jahre vergangen und Lyra ist nach Miami gezogen, um endlich ihrem Vater und der Mafia, in der sie aufgewachsen ist, zu entkommen. Als Prinzessin aufgewachsen, ja, aber immerhin eine Prinzessin, eingesperrt in einer elfenbeinernen Zelle. Sie war schlau, als sie versuchte, vor ihrem Vater wegzulaufen. Zu unschuldig, um zu glauben, dass sie mir entkommen könnte. Zu optimistisch, wenn sie dachte, sie könnte einen anderen Mann lieben oder begehren, nachdem sie mich getroffen hatte. Ich bin nicht bereit, ohne sie zu leben, also ist sie hier, zu meinen Füßen, eingesperrt in einer anderen elfenbeinernen Zelle, gefangen, aber diesmal im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes. Jetzt muss Lyra nur noch aufhören, vor ihrem Schicksal davonzulaufen. Die Welt gibt selten eine zweite Chance, aber ich kann mit der Frau, die ich liebe, großzügiger sein.
Gefangen von einer abenteuerlustigen Dame: (Diebe des Ton-Buches 1)
by Sandra SookooDas Bestreben, den Fluch einer Mumie zu brechen, wird gefährlich, als ein Lord stirbt. Miles Lawrence Hawkins, fünfter Earl of Archewyne, ist allein und der letzte seiner Linie, abgesehen von einer jungen Tochter, und er hat sich damit abgefunden ... Doch als er unerwartet eine attraktive Diebin in seiner Bibliothek findet, kommen ihm Zweifel. Er wird in den wahnwitzigen Plan der Dame hineingezogen, verschiedene gestohlene Mumien aus ganz London – einschließlich des British Museum – zu bergen, und begleitet sie nur, um zu sehen, was als Nächstes passiert. Von ihrer Mission gefesselt und von ihrem Talent, das Gesetz zu umgehen, fasziniert, ist eine dringend benötigte Ablenkung vom Stress seines eigenen Lebens. Lady Emmaline Darling, eine geschickte Diebin und einziges Kind des Earl of St. Ives, steht unter dem Fluch einer Mumie. Sie glaubt, dass sie aufgrund der Vorliebe ihres Vaters, antike Gegenstände aus Ägypten zu entfernen, verdammt ist, und hat sich geschworen, ein Paar Mumien an ihren ewigen Ruheort zurückzubringen, um sein und ihr Leben zu retten. Von Miles erwischt zu werden, war nicht in ihrem Plan, und sich in seinen Charme zu verlieben auch nicht, aber sie wird alles tun, um zu sehen, dass auch er von dem Fluch befreit ist, denn ihre Geschichten sind zu eng miteinander verbunden, als dass sein Unglück nur Pech sein könnte. Als ein Lord mit Verbindungen zu beiden tot aufgefunden wird und Emmalines Schmuck am Tatort gefunden wird, ist Miles verpflichtet, ihr seinen Schutz anzubieten und zu gewähren. Trotz ihrer Weigerung zieht das Verlangen sie an und ein Skandal umgibt sie, und als Miles erneut zu einer geheimen Mission für die Krone berufen wird, muss er alles ablegen, was zu einer Belastung werden könnte, aber es ist leichter gesagt als getan, Emmaline aus Schwierigkeiten – und aus seinem Kopf – herauszuhalten.
