They say revenge is a dish best served cold. I’d had four years to stew on what Daria Followhill did to me...now my heart was completely iced. I took her first kiss. She took the only thing I loved. I was poor. She was rich. The good thing about circumstances? They can change. Fast. Now, I’m her parents’ latest shiny project. Her housemate. Her tormentor. The captain of the rival football team she hates so much. Yeah, baby girl, say it. I’m your foster brother. There’s a price to pay for ruining the only good thing in my life. She’s about to shell out some serious tears.

The most important thing I’d ever read was scribbled on the door of a portable restroom, engraved into plastic at a carnival on the outskirts of Boston. Lust lingers, love stays. Lust is impatient, love waits. Lust burns, love warms. Lust destroys, but love? Love kills. Maybe it was always my destiny to fall in love with a monster. When other kids stayed awake at night fearing the pointy-toothed beast hiding in their closet, I longed to see mine.

Sexy, indomptable, torturé... Sera-t-il sa perte, ou sa seule chance ? Elle : reine de lycée déchue, rescapée d'un incendie, déteste son reflet dans le miroir, West et la vie en général. Lui : bad boy le plus populaire du campus, addict aux combats clandestins, écrase tous les cœurs sur son passage. Depuis que West St. Claire, le mec le plus populaire du campus, a été embauché pour travailler avec elle dans ce minuscule food-truck, Grace a de plus en plus de mal à garder son sang-froid.

Bailey Followhill is the perfect daughter. Sweet. Charitable. Pretty. Control freak. Not a hair out of place, not an inch out of line, she is everything her troublemaking sister Daria isn't. But when her A game turns out to be a lukewarm C- at Juilliard, Bailey's picture-ready life starts fraying faster than the worn satin ribbons of her pointe shoes. She's becoming a piece of gossip. The troubled child. A drug abuser. No longer the girl her best friend once knew.

Adam Mackay. Local legend. My brother’s best friend. The world biggest movie star...and my major, epic, unrequited crush. He needs a cat-sitter in sunny L.A., and I need a place to live after a bad breakup. Perfect, right? Sure, if you possess any type of self-control. Spoiler alert: I have none. This arrangement has trouble written all over it, but warning signs are meant to be ignored. Kind of like clicking on the "I have read and agreed" no one actually reads before clicking. Problem is, I never did agree to fall so quickly back into love.

Bane. Un homme dangereux, impétueux, sans limites. Tout le monde le sait, même Jesse qui, depuis qu'elle s'est fait violemment agresser, s'est complètement coupée du reste du monde. Alors, le jour où elle le croise en sortant de chez son médecin, elle est immédiatement sur ses gardes. Car, elle en est persuadée, cette rencontre n'est pas un hasard. Bane la cherchait. Mais qu'est-ce qu'un homme comme lui, capable d'avoir le monde à ses pieds, peut bien vouloir d'une femme brisée comme elle ?

Vicious. Le nom qu'il s'est choisi parle de lui-même. C'est un homme froid, cruel... et immensément riche. Ce qui veut dire qu'il a le monde à ses pieds. Millie ne fera plus jamais l'erreur qu'elle a commise dix ans plus tôt, quand elle a cru qu'elle pouvait se mesurer à lui, répondre à ses provocations, lui rendre coup pour coup.

When her ex, Chase Black, storms back into her life with an outrageous request, her immediate reaction is to refuse him. But he only wants to fulfill his father’s last wish. So even though he’s the man who broke her heart, playing his fiancée shouldn’t be hard, especially if it means she gets to watch the arrogant devil squirm a bit.

If working at a hotel as a waitress on Christmas Eve wasn't reason enough for Hannah to turn her into a real Grinch, dealing with a pretentious and cocky guest at the Nirvana Resort can truly turn the happiest night of the year into a nightmare. She is ready to sharpen her nails and assert herself, but the guest in question seems to be full of mind-blowing surprises. First of all...he turns out to be the most sought after rock star in the world, as well as the forbidden and longtime fantasy of Hannah.

I would say Dr. Cruz Costello is my archenemy. But that would require acknowledging one another, which we haven’t done in more than a decade. He’s the town’s golden child. The beloved quarterback-turned-physician. I’m the girl who got knocked up at 16 and now works at a diner. He is Fairhope royalty. I get my monarch dose from tabloid gossip. He’s well-off. I’m...well, off. When our siblings get engaged, Cruz’s parents invite both families to a pre-wedding cruise. Except Cruz and I find ourselves stuck on a different ship from everyone else.

Troy Brennan: Every Southie in Boston knows that name. The son of a dead mobster. The heartthrob with steel-blue eyes. "The Fixer" who can make or break you in this city. Oh, and my new husband. Sparrow Raynes: That's me. No one seemed to remember my name up until he barged into my life. But then he caged me. Kidnapped me. And killed every chance I had to run away from the place where we grew up.

Arrogant. Provocateur. Irrésistible. Dans la vie, Hunter Fitzpatrick a trois priorités : le sexe, l'alcool et le sexe. Certes, il a peut-être manqué de vigilance en apparaissant dans une sextape qui a été diffusée dans tout le pays. Mais, déjà, on devrait le féliciter pour sa performance. Ensuite, est-ce vraiment grave que l'un des héritiers de la Royal Pipelines Company ait offert au monde le spectacle de sa – sublime – nudité ? Selon son père, oui.

Il est à la fois son pire cauchemar et son plus grand fantasme... Je pourrais dire que le Dr Cruz Castello est mon ennemi juré. Mais cela voudrait dire qu'on se croise parfois, ce qui n'est pas arrivé depuis plus de dix ans. C'est l'enfant chéri de la ville, le sportif devenu médecin. Je suis tombée enceinte à seize ans et je bosse dans un diner. Et lorsque ma sœur et son frère se fiancent, et qu'une croisière est organisée pour réunir les familles, c'est la cata. Surtout que lui et moi sommes coincés dix jours sur un autre bateau.

Bane: Naked surfer. Habitual pothead. A con, a liar, a thief, and a fraud. Last I heard, he was extorting the rich and screwing their wives for a living. Which is why I’m more than a little surprised to find him at my threshold, looking for my friendship, my services, and most puzzling of all - looking humbled. Thing is, I’m on a boycott. Literally - cut boys from my life. Permanently. Problem is, Bane is not a boy, he is all man, and I’m falling, crashing, drowning in his sweet, perfect lies.

Ne jamais pactiser avec son ex, surtout s'il est sexy et sans scrupule. Chase Black. Statut : héritier le plus sexy de Manhattan, bientôt à la tête de l'empire familial. Taux de satisfaction de ses conquêtes au lit : 200 %. Durée moyenne des relations : un soir. Profil : salaud de classe internationale.

Alors, quand elle le découvre devant sa porte six mois plus tard, elle est légèrement surprise.

They call him The Mute for a reason. Hard, cold, and calculated, he rarely speaks. When he does, it's with disdain. When he does, his words aren't meant for me. When he does, my stomach flips and my world tilts on its axis. He is 33. I am 18. He's a single dad and my father's business partner. I'm just a kid to him and his enemy's daughter. He's emotionally unavailable. And I am...feeling. Feeling things I shouldn't feel for him. Trent Rexroth is going to break my heart. The writing isn't just on the wall, it's inked on my soul.

My name is Melody Greene, and I have a confession to make. I slept with my student, a senior in high school. Multiple times. I had multiple orgasms. In multiple positions. I slept with my student and I enjoyed it. I slept with my student and I'd do it all over again if I could turn back time. My name is Melody Greene, and I got kicked out of my position as a teacher and did my walk of shame a la Cersei Lannister from the principal's office, minutes after said principal threatened to call the cops on me.

Sometimes you meet people who are out of this world, so you make them a part of yours. A one-night stand born from vengeance in a foreign land. An explosive chemistry neither of us could deny. We signed a contract on the back of a Boar’s Head Pub napkin that said if we ever met again, we would drop everything and be together. Eight years and thousands of miles later, he’s here. In New York. And he’s America’s music obsession.
