A change of heart….

Callum Brodey, head of the family, was capable of doing anything he set his mind to — and he’d do it with imagination, ambition and efficiency. Now he’d set his sights on Elaine...

Elaine Beresford had suffered one disastrous marriage. Her experience had taught her to prize her independence highly — so she certainly wasn’t going to drop everything just for Callum’s convenience! But Callum had brought her alive, made her feel like a desirable woman for the first time in her life. If only the dream would last!

The perfect match?

Christ Brodey could have any woman he looked at — and he was looking at Tiffany Dean! On a strictly casual basis, though. As far as he was concerned, she was just another gold digger...

Tiffany had no money, no job and no chance of getting either. Her plan to gate-crash the Brodey’s party for a magazine story was her last chance...

The deal: Chris could offer Tiffany his wealth and prestige — and in return she would be anything he wanted. But Tiffany discovered it was one thing to be a kept woman and quite another to be a kept woman in love...

A physical attraction...

It’s all too much, too soon. They barely know each other! Yet every time Oliver looks at Dyan, she senses a physical passion that threatens to overwhelm her. But they’re supposed to be business partners, not lovers. Dyan simply can’t afford to give in to the desire she feels for Oliver — not even for the night!

He had to protect her from himself!

Life was complicated enough for William Quentin without his ex-wife turning up on his doorstep. He’d been crazy about Francesca, and the agony of her betrayal still haunted him. Will knew he should heed his grandmother’s warnings, but he couldn’t turn Francesca away, especially as she was in fear for her life.

Always so in control of her emotions, Francesca’s unexpected vulnerability threatened to topple all of Will’s resistance to her. But what chance was there for them when she had heartlessly demonstrated that her independence meant more to her than bearing his children?

The father of her child…

So what was Gifford doing here in the Saychelles? Was he really arrogant enough just to walk back into Cass’s life after ignoring her for eighteen months?

She decided to wheel in the star of the show…his baby.

DO NOT Disturb

Incident No.1 — the deception

Kristin Blake is horrified when she realises that her potential new boss, Matthew Lingard, is the same man she publicly humiliated ten years before. So she has to keep her true identity a secret!

Incident No.2 — the bedroom

Forced to share a bedroom one night, Kristin and Matthew struggle to keep the arrangement strictly business — but it proves impossible!

Incident No.3 — the engagement

And the morning after, their night of passion is discovered. There’s only one solution to avoid a scandal: pretend to be engaged!

Infamous playboy announces engagement!

At eighteen, Olivia Johnson had a brief, passionate affair with the infamous, rich socialite Dominic FitzCharles. Madly in love, she’d never forgotten him — even though it seemed he had forgotten her…

Now twenty-eight and a successful businesswoman, Olivia had no time for love affairs.

When she met Dominic again at a society wedding, she vowed she’d stay in control. But Dominic had other ideas. He announced their engagement to the press — and in front of London’s elite — just how was Olivia supposed to say no?

Jack Wilder had three golden rules:

1) Never mix business with pleasure. Unfortunately he had broken that one the moment he met Laura Parker. The fact that she worked for him was easily fixed.

2) Love them and leave them… The press didn’t call Jack Mr Loverman for nothing. Laura had fallen for his casual seduction, only to find herself sacked for sleeping with the boss!

3) Never underestimate the competition. Laura was determined that she wasn’t going to be just another notch on Jack’s bedpost! She wanted revenge!

Jack would just have to add another rule to his list — that hell had no fury like a woman scorned!

It was Sophia’s wedding day, but she wasn’t a happy and radiant bride. How could she feel anything but blue when she wasn’t marrying Godfrey, the man she’d loved and the father of the baby she was expecting? Instead she was to wed Godfrey’s younger brother.

Jonathon Parnell was coldly handsome, and ruthless about carrying out the deathbed promise he’d made to Godfrey: to marry Sophia and give their baby legitimacy and financial security. Jonathon had assured Sophia that this would be a marriage in name only, but now she was beginning to realise that he expected her to act the role of his wife — in every sense…

Sancha’s first instinct was to burn the anonymous letter. Its malicious message couldn’t be true: Do you know where your husband will be tonight? Do you know who he’ll be with? Sancha adored Mark now as much as when they were first married, even though family life meant that they were no longer so close. She’d never dreamed that her tough, handsome husband would fall into the arms of another woman! The battle was on — though when Sancha confronted Mark, she discovered that the physical attraction between them was as strong as ever. But she wouldn’t let herself be seduced by him…not yet!

Saskia thought that two years was long enough to confirm that she would never be reunited with her estranged husband, Domenico. But it seemed there was no end to the strange bond that had existed between them: Domenico was waiting for her when she arrived on vacation in Venice! Saskia had always had the uncanny ability to read Domenico’s mind, so she was unnerved to find that now he, too, knew what she was thinking. Once again, she was somehow tied to him physically and mentally, and there seemed to be no escape. Except that, in Domenico’s eyes, a happy marriage should be completed with children…

Adam Barnard could have stepped straight out of Tara’s fantasies. A devastatingly sexy hunk, the mysterious stranger was the first man in years to set Tara’s heart racing. But since the last man she let close had cruelly betrayed her, Tara had sworn off men. She wasn’t ready to take a chance on another — especially a man who didn’t seem to be offering her anything more than a red-hot affair. She was determined not to be another notch on Adam’s bedpost…only, she couldn’t stop herself wanting him!

Zanna Westcott was a successful businesswoman with a track record for ruthless takeovers and always putting business before pleasure. Jake Lantrell was pleasure… sheer unadulterated pleasure. Zanna’s attraction to him scared her. Jake represented everything in life she had tried to avoid: love, emotion, sex. And so, after one reckless night of passion, Zanna had determined to forget her momentary indiscretion. It wasn’t so easy. Jake wanted more than a one-night stand. He was determined to show Zanna that there was something missing from her life — him!
