Lenora Celeste Beatrice Arabella Pembrooková měla neobvyklé dětství. Byla vychována, aby se stala budoucí královnou – první královnou Wesska.

The Bodyguard Series Abigail Haddock è bella, intelligente e un po’ snob. Ma non è colpa sua. È cresciuta in una delle famiglie aristocratiche più ricche di Wessco: “snob” è il loro secondo nome. Abby sta facendo il possibile per distinguersi come medico di prim’ordine, per dimostrarsi all’altezza del cognome che porta. Non ha tempo per tutto ciò che è frivolo. Tommy Sullivan è l’esatto opposto. È una guardia del corpo e comproprietario della rinomata S&S Securities Firm Protector. Ma è anche chiassoso, irriverente e assolutamente irresistibile. Tommy sa come divertirsi, e non ha mai visto nessuno che abbia più bisogno di lasciarsi andare di Abby. E così si mette in testa di farla sciogliere un po’... Non ci vuole molto perché una notte di sesso sfrenato e appagante per entrambi, apparentemente priva di implicazioni sentimentali, si trasformi in qualcos’altro. Di molto coinvolgente. Ma Tommy e Abby sono troppo testardi per ammetterlo...

A magnificent new romance by New York Times bestselling author Emma Chase. Dean Walker is all about keeping life simple. He''s effortlessly talented and intelligent—spending his summers playing drums in the local band and the rest of the year teaching high school in the same Jersey town where he grew up. He likes his love life simple too, enjoying the commitment-free hook-ups his good looks and sexy charm have always made oh so easy. Then he meets Lainey Burrows. And his simple, easy life gets turned upside down. One wild one-night stand was all it was ever supposed to be, so Lainey is shocked when she discovers that her sizzling summer fling is also her son''s new math teacher. But that''s nothing compared to the most unexpected twist of all—their hot hook-up left Lainey knocked up, and now they''re about to become parents. Together. What ensues is an addictive, insatiable, sweet and tender romance that won''t be simple, but it will be more than worth the fight.

Princess Lenora Celeste Beatrice Arabella Pembrook had an unusual childhood. She was raised to be a Queen—the first Queen of Wessco. It’s a big deal. When she’s crowned at just nineteen, the beautiful young monarch is prepared to rule. She’s charming, clever, confident and cunning. What she isn’t…is married. It’s her advising council’s first priority. It’s what Parliament is demanding, and what her people want. Lenora has no desire to tie herself to a man—particularly one who only wants her for her crown. But compromises must be made and royals must do their duty. Even Queens. Especially them. ** Years ago, Edward Langdon Richard Dorian Rourke, walked away from his title and country. Now he’s an adventurer—climbing mountains, exploring jungles, going wherever he wants, when he wants—until family devotion brings him home. And a sacred promise keeps him there. To Edward, the haughty, guarded little Queen is intriguing, infuriating…and utterly captivating. Wanting her just might drive him mad—or become his greatest adventure. ** Within the cold, stone walls of the royal palace—mistrust threatens, wills clash, and an undeniable, passionate love will change the future of the monarchy forever. Every dynasty has a beginning. Every legend starts with a story. This is theirs. "If you''ve enjoyed watching The Crown then you are going to go wild for this times about a thousand. All of the mid-twentieth century royal flavoured atmosphere, along with as much sweet and sensuous emotion and drama, you could ask for. The whole series has been nothing short of delightful. And hot. Royally hot." -Kylie Scott, New York Times bestselling author of It Seemed Like A Good Idea at the Time "This was a lovely read. Lenora’s loneliness radiated off the pages. Edward’s arrival saved both Lenora and me. It was a touching, sexy, beautiful romance. I feel fortunate to have read it." –Jen Frederick, New York Times bestselling author of Be Mine "With all the timeless enchantment of a modern fairy tale, Emma Chase weaves a delightfully romantic royal affair that took my breath away. Long Live Queen Lenora!” –Natasha is a Book Junkie blog “Something about Emma Chase’s writing creates a hungry hole inside me and sucks all of me in. Lenny and Edward are two people with extraordinary lives who find the gift of normalcy in the way they are able to love each other, and it''s a beautiful thing. I teared up, smiled widely and did not want to return to real life.” –Sonali Dev, author of A Distant Heart

Head of the class... Garrett Daniels has this whole life thing figured out. The cocky, charismatic former high school star quarterback is an idolized football coach and "cool" teacher in the hometown where he''s not just a golden boy — he''s platinum. He has good friends, a great house on the lake, and the best damn sidekick a man could ask for: Snoopy, the albino beagle. Then...Callie Carpenter comes home. And knocks him right on his tight end zone. Back to school... Callie has a pretty sweet life herself...on the other side of the country. But circumstances — that she''d prefer to never speak of again — have brought her back home, helping out her parents and substitute teaching at her old high school. Now she''s facing bickering, raging hormones, constant gossip, awkward weirdness, and drama galore...and that''s just the teachers. Just like old times... When Garrett offers to show his former high school sweetheart the secrets of his winning teacher ways, Callie jumps at the chance - and then has to stop herself from jumping him. Good friends are all they can ever be. Or...these teachers just might end up getting schooled — by love.

Logan St. James is a smoldering, sexy beast. Sure, he can be a little broody at times—but Ellie Hammond’s willing to overlook that. Because, have you seen him?? Sexy. As. Hell. And Ellie’s perky enough for both of them. For years, she’s had a crush on the intense, protective royal security guard—but she doesn’t think he ever saw her, not really. To Logan, Ellie was just part of the job—a relative of the royal family he’d sworn to protect. Now, at 22 years old and fresh out of college, she’s determined to put aside her X-rated dreams of pat-downs and pillow talk, and find a real life happily ever after. The Queen of Wessco encourages Ellie to follow in her sister’s footsteps and settle down with a prince of her own. Or a duke, a marquis…a viscount would also do nicely. But in the pursuit of a fairy tale ending, Ellie learns that the sweetest crushes can be the hardest to let go. *** Logan St. James grew up on the wrong side of the tracks, in a family on the wrong side of the law. But these days, he covers his tattoos and scars with a respectable suit. He’s handsome, loyal, brave, skilled with his hands and…other body parts. Any woman would be proud to bring him home to her family. But there’s only one woman he wants. For years he’s watched over her, protected her, held her hair back when she was sick, taught her how to throw a punch, and spot a liar. He dreams of her. Would lay down his life for her. But beautiful Ellie Hammond’s off-limits. Everybody knows the bodyguard rules: Never lose focus, never let them out of your sight, and never, ever fall in love.

Entre parenthèses met en scène le couple formé par Jake & Chelsea, héros de la saison 2 de Sexy Lawyers, la comédie sexy et romantique qui a bouleversé les lectrices. Il fut un temps où Jake Becker contrôlait sa vie, sa carrière et ne laissait aucune place à l''imprévu et aux sentiments. Mais ça, c''était avant... Avant que six orphelins aussi mignons que diaboliques, élevés par leur jeune tante, la magnifique Chelsea, ne viennent tout chambouler dans sa vie si bien ordonnée. Chelsea et les enfants ont tout métamorphosé, tout remis en question et ils l''ont changé lui. Aujourd''hui Jake est associé dans son propre cabinet d''avocats avec ses amis Stanton, Sofia et Brent, mais c''est aussi un mari et un père génial. Bien évidemment, ce n''est pas tous les jours facile de tout mener de front : assurer lors des réunions parents-profs et veiller à ce que ses clients n''aillent pas en prison... tout en rendant sa femme heureuse ! Mais il assure... jusqu''à ce qu''un événement imprévu vienne tout bouleverser : le genre d''événement qui met 9 mois à arriver et auquel on finit par consacrer une vie entière.

Dans la première saison de Sexy Lawyers nous avions découvert la passion, puis l''amour qui unissait Stanton et Sofia dans une comédie romantique épicée. Dans la deuxième saison nous avons adoré les aventures amoureuses de Jake et Chelsea. Dans cette troisième saison nous allons suivre les aventures d''un autre ami de la bande des avocats sexy de Washington : Brent qui va tomber sous le charme de la sublime Kennedy. Brent, avocat et ami de Santon et Sofia, retrouve Kennedy, une ravissante jeune femme qu''il avait humiliée à l''université. Brent est subjugué, mais Kennedy, devenue aujourd''hui une brillante procureure, n''est pas décidée à le laisser entrer dans vie. Mais comme souvent, il existe une réelle différence entre passion et raison... Et Brent et Kennedy sont bien déterminés à vérifier s''ils sont aussi brillants au lit qu''ils le sont au tribunal...

Emma Chase, autora best-seller do The New York Times e escritora da série Atraído volta com o primeiro volume da série Legal Briefs. Como advogado em Washington, DC, Stanton Shaw mantém as perguntas afiadas e os argumentos irrefutáveis, além de ser conhecido como “Encantador do Júri” com seu sotaque do sul, sorriso irresistível e olhos verdes cativantes. Embora pareça que sua vida está seguindo pelo caminho que sempre desejou, o advogado perde o rumo ao descobrir que Jenny, sua namorada do colegial e mãe de sua filha, irá se casar. Como uma medida desesperada, ele implora que Sofia – a amiga alucinantemente colorida – o acompanhe ao Meio do Nada, no Mississippi, para ajudá-lo a reconquistar a mulher que ama. Sofia aceita, mesmo que seu lado racional diga uma coisa e seu coração outra… O que pode acontecer quando você mistura uma cidade com um único semáforo, dois advogados profissionais, uma rainha do baile de formatura, quatro irmãos mais velhos, a salsicha de Jimmy Dean e uma vovó armada? O uísque rola solto, a paixão cresce e até o mais detalhado dos planos é atropelado pelos desejos do coração.

OVERRULED est la première saison de la série SEXY LAWYERS, une comédie sexy et romantique dans le monde des avocats à Washington. L''histoire commence à Sunshine, une petite ville du Mississipi où l''on découvre Stanton et Jenny, 17 ans, roi et reine de leur promo, meilleurs amis et amoureux depuis leur enfance, qui apprennent que Jenny est enceinte. Ils décident de garder l''enfant mais ne changent pas leurs plans d''avenir car ils veulent ce qu''il y a de mieux pour eux : Jenny reste à Sunshine et Stanton va étudier le droit à Columbia à New York, où il rencontre Drew, le héros de la série Love Game. Les chemins du jeune couple se séparent... on retrouve Stanton dix ans plus tard à Washington entouré de ses amis Sofia, Jake et Brent. Stanton est avocat, un des meilleurs, dans un cabinet prestigieux, et il vit une relation passionnelle avec Sofia, sa collègue et meilleure amie. Il ne voit presque jamais sa fille Preston et prétend toujours aimer Jenny. Ce qui convient parfaitement à la sulfureuse Sofia qui préfère se concentrer sur sa carrière et éviter les histoires de coeur compliquées. Tout se déroule parfaitement jusqu''au jour où Stanton reçoit le faire-part de mariage de son ex... Stanton décide de partir à Sunshine pour rompre le mariage et reconquérir Jenny. Il emmène Sofia avec lui pour qu''elle puisse l''aider et lui donner des conseils. Pendant ce temps, Sofia se rend compte peu à peu qu''elle aime Stanton, mais comme elle pense que les sentiments ne sont pas réciproques, elle essaie de les refouler. Un mariage qui risque d''être annulé, des sex-friends qui ne réalisent pas qu''ils s''aiment... Une comédie romantique et sexy, pour le meilleur et pour le pire !

The New York Times bestselling author of the Tangled books returns with the third standalone romance in the Legal Briefs series, a collection of sexy novels about first crushes, second chances, and the final verdict of the heart. When Brent Mason looks at Kennedy Randolph, he doesn’t see the awkward, sweet girl who grew up next door. He sees a self-assured, stunning woman…who wants to crush the most intimate—and prized—parts of his anatomy beneath the heels of her Louboutins. When Kennedy looks at Brent, all she sees is the selfish, Abercrombie & Fitch catalogue–worthy teenager who humiliated her in high school in order to join the popular crowd. A crowd that made those years a living hell for her. But she’s not a lovesick social outcast anymore—she’s a Washington, DC, prosecutor with a long winning streak. Brent is the opposing attorney in her next case, and Kennedy thinks it’s time to put him through a little hell of his own. But things aren’t exactly working out the way she planned. Brent has his sights set on Kennedy, and every fiery exchange only makes him want her more—and makes her wonder if he’s as passionate in the bedroom as he is in the courtroom. In the end, they may just find themselves in love…or in contempt of court.
