Rule est la première saison d'une série passionnante sur l'univers du tatouage et du métal. Shaw Landon est tombée amoureuse de Rule Archer au premier regard, même s'il représente tout ce qu'elle déteste : tatoué, percé, rebelle. Aux yeux de Rule, Shaw est une étudiante en médecine bien trop sage et surtout l'ex petite amie de son défunt frère jumeau. Il pense pouvoir se cacher derrière ses tatouages mais elle saura le percer à jour. Rule est la première saison d'une série passionnante sur l'univers du tatouage et du métal. Lorsqu'elle était adolescente, les très riches parents de Shaw Landon se sont peu occupés d'elle. Elle a alors trouvé refuge dans la famille Archer où elle était particulièrement proche de Remy, frère jumeau de Rule, aujourd'hui décédé dans un accident de voiture. Elle est liée à cette famille plus qu'à la sienne. Mais Shaw est depuis toujours secrètement amoureuse de Rule, ce qui l'empêche d'avoir de véritables relations avec d'autres hommes. Rule, lui, voit en elle une fille à papa, trop sérieuse et surtout la petite amie de son défunt frère. De plus tout les oppose : de nature rebelle et fêtard, il est tatoueur et tatoué, a des percings et les cheveux de toutes les couleurs. Avec son look classique, elle est sage et concentrée sur ses études de médecine. Mais parfois il suffit d'une jupe courte et de quelques cocktails pour que le regard que l'on porte sur quelqu'un change. Les secrets sont révélés et que rien ne sera plus jamais comme avant... Rule et Shaw tenteront de comprendre ce qu'ils ressentent et d'être ce que l'autre attend. Mais entre les traumatismes de leurs familles respectives, les habitudes de coureur de jupons de Rule, l'emploi du temps chargé de Shaw et son ex qui la harcèle, ces deux-là auront bien du mal à se trouver. Leur amour sera-t-il plus fort que leurs différences ? L'ambiance de cette série est celle d'un salon de tatouage, de concerts de métal, le tout agrémenté de délires de colocataires et de virées dans leur ville natale.

Příběh ze současnosti z amerického prostředí od zkušené autorky, o široké a rozmanité komunitě tatérů, vypráví o citovém sbližování dvou mužů-gayů, fyzioterapeuta a policisty. Orlando Frederick ví, jaké to je, když člověka zasáhne velká bolest. Jenže místo aby se soustředil na tu svou, předsevzal si, že bude pomáhat od bolesti jiným: zraněným sportovním hvězdám, postiženým válečným veteránům, zkrátka lidem, kteří si odnesli z bojů všeho druhu nějaké rány. Když se však do jeho praxe fyzioterapeuta dostane Dom, drsný, ale hříšně přitažlivý policista, Lando začíná tušit, že tenhle případ pro něj může být zatím tou největší výzvou. Už dříve miloval jednoho muže, který odešel z jeho života tragicky, a tehdy se z toho jen stěží vzpamatoval. A teď si není jistý, jestli by to zvládl znovu. Nakladatelská anotace. Kráceno.

Skutečný hrdina dokáže opravit cokoli...*Hudson Wheeler je milý chlapík, který dokáže opravit všechno, co dostane do rukou, zvlášť stará auta ze šedesátých let. Má však smůlu v osobních vztazích, a když se ukáže, že ho jeho snoubenka a dlouholetá láska podvádí, je nucen zrušit chystanou svatbu. Jeho zklamání a rozháranost však trvají jen do chvíle, kdy se setká s Poppy Cruzovou, jejíž smutné oči září z nejkrásnější tváře, jakou kdy viděl. S Poppy to však není snadné, protože po tom, co jí muži v jejím životě krutě ublížili, je odhodlaná držet si je všechny bez výjimky od těla a jen tak si před nimi zajistit bezpečí. Wheelerův sexy úsměv a ruce drsné z restaurování starých klasik by ji tedy neměly uchvátit, ale pokaždé, když je s ním, si nemůže pomoct a něco ji k němu táhne. A přestože se bojí komukoliv znovu důvěřovat, brzy si uvědomí, že by mohla udělat ještě větší chybu, kdyby se před Wheelerem uzavřela. Postupně tak přichází na to, že její poškozené srdce potřebuje pořádnou opravu, a čím víc času tráví s Wheelerem, tím víc je přesvědčená, že on je jediný, který to může dokázat.

Milostný román odehrávající se ve dvou zcela odlišných světech. Awett Walkerová je chodící průšvih. Quaid Jackson je oproti ní ten, který ji z průšvihu svými právnickými kličkami vyvede. Světy Avett Walkerové a Quaida Jacksona jsou natolik rozdílné, že není důvod, aby se střetávaly. Quaid je velmi úspěšný advokát v oboru kriminálních případů, pohledný a uhlazený muž, zatímco Avett je potížistka s růžovými vlasy a pochybnou minulostí po boku pochybných mužů. Právě ten poslední jí způsobí největší problém, v jakém se kdy ocitla, a jediný, kdo ji z něj může dostat, je sexy právník. Jenže Avett si v žádném případě nepřeje být citově závislá na tvrdém nesmlouvavém advokátovi. Přesto na něm nachází něco, co ji nutí přesvědčit ho, aby si uvolnil kravatu a trochu se pobavil... s ní.

Vesper Bell is a good girl. At least, that's what everyone keeps telling her. She was the perfect daughter. A straight-A student. The very best friend. And an adoring potential girlfriend. However, when her life took an unexpected detour into darkness, suffering, and betrayal, Vesper realized being good hadn't gotten her anywhere. An enthralled audience watched her dramatic fall from grace and clearly wanted her to crash and burn. Those she once trusted the most made it no secret that they wanted her to lose everything...and she did. But all those years of being such a goodie-two-shoes built Vesper some powerful cosmic karma. On her birthday, she begged for a second chance, an opportunity to right all the wrongs and undo all the bad things she was forced to endure. She made a wish, not knowing that sometimes they really do come true. Now, right before her fall, she's back at the beginning, and she has no plans to be a good girl anymore. Lucky for her, she has the perfect person to teach her how to embrace her rebellious and daring side: a boy with candy-colored hair and eyes as dark as the night sky. They were born on the same day, but that is about all the two of them have in common. Everything about him screams that he is a very bad boy, but Vesper sees the good in him. He doesn't seem to care if she's perfect or pitiful. He keeps stepping in to save her, and he always makes her feel safe even when everything else feels uncertain. He feels real and honest when the rest of her life seems to be built on lies on top of more lies. One thing Vesper knows to be absolutely true: the surprisingly sweet delinquent is the very best bad thing to ever happen to her. Author's note: Hi. This book is slightly different from my usual suspects...meaning it is a touch weird, and wild. I know that, and I feel it is fair that everyone else knows that going in as well. So, if you're up for a bit of strange along with the sexy, this book is the one for you.: )

Další román z volné romanticko-erotické série, pojmenované vždy podle mladého, atraktivního a komplikovaného hlavního hrdiny. Někdy se stane, že vás opravdový hrdina nechá, abyste se zachránili sami. Snad nelze najít rozdílnější osobnosti, než je Sayer Coleová a Zeb Fuller. Ona, advokátka z vyšších společenských vrstev, jež tráví své dny s klienty v kanceláři nebo soudní síni, on, samorost, který se živí rukama a stačil už projít i vězením. Nic z toho však Zeba neodradí, aby od chvíle, kdy elegantní blondýnku poprvé uviděl, po ní netoužil - dokonce i tehdy, když se zdá, že rezervovaná advokátka je vůči jeho zájmu netečná. Sayer je přesvědčená, že tak tvrdý a atraktivní muž jako Zeb nemůže stát o uhlazenou a citově zdrženlivou ženu, ačkoliv jí něco říká, že právě tento člověk by mohl konečně rozpustit led jejího zevnějšku a vnést do jejího života novou vášeň. Nakladatelská anotace. Kráceno.

Ry Archer and Bowe Keller are as different as night and day. But that doesn't stop the childhood frenemies from reconnecting whenever one of them needs some help tackling any of life's major puzzles, like figuring out why getting what you always thought you wanted isn't living up to all the hype. They might constantly rub each other the wrong way (except for the times when they rub each other the really-really right way), but there is no denying they've always made one hell of a great team. They manage to balance each other out... when they aren't driving each other crazy. For Ry, he thought he had the perfect girl, the one who was going to run headfirst into a methodically planned future. He was going to marry young and have the same kind of legendary, life-long romance his parents did... or so he believed. His girl was going to stand by his side as he chased his dream of being a professional football player all the way to the NFL. He was wrong. Now, Ry's gotta figure out the difference between a bruised heart and a broken one, and the only person who can teach him the difference is Bowe. Bowe always felt like she had to run before she learned to walk to keep up with her father's musical legacy. He's her hero, and she wants nothing more than to make him proud. Bowe's about to figure out that maybe she wasn't meant to be in a rock and roll band and that it is possible she let her father's success cloud her idea of what making music should be. Bowe needs to find her own path to fame, and there's a good chance she wouldn't be brave enough or bold enough to start over if Ry Archer hadn't charmed his way back into her life when she least expected it. Some days they're enemies. Other days they're lovers. For a while, they were strangers. But now, it feels more like they might have always been soulmates. Eventually, Ry and Bowe realize that letting go of an old dream and creating a new one is much easier to do with the right person by your side.

But when someone starts stalking her, Shot is the only person she trusts to help. Plus he owes her one... Palmer 'Shot' Caldwell has always known his life isn't built for relationships.

Il est celui qui lui a brisé le coeur. Lorsqu'elle a quitté The Point, Karsen s'est promis d'oublier ses rues malfamées et dangereuses, qu'elle pensait siennes. Elle s'est surtout promis d'effacer de son coeur Noah, un homme aussi violent et imprévisible que cette ville. Celui à qui elle a offert son coeur... et qui l'a broyé de la plus horrible des façons. Elle est celle qu'il s'est interdit d'aimer. Depuis le départ de Karsen, Noah fuit l'absence de celle qui le hante nuit et jour dans la violence et l'adrénaline. Il sait qu'il a eu raison de la faire partir : dans la vraie vie, la Belle ne doit pas être avec la Bête, au risque de se faire dévorer. Pourtant, quand il apprend que Karsen est en danger, il n'hésite pas une seconde et part la rejoindre. Même s'il sait que leurs retrouvailles seront une douce torture. A propos de l'auteur Tout comme les personnages de ses romans, Jay Crownover est une grande amatrice (et collectionneuse ! ) de tatouages. Lorsqu'elle a pris conscience qu'elle ne deviendrait pas la rock star qu'elle rêvait d'être, elle a décidé d'embrasser son autre passion : l'écriture. Très vite remarquée et couronnée par les lecteurs et les critiques, elle fait aujourd'hui partie du top des New York Times et USA Today.

Deux coeurs brisés. Un désir irrépressible. Se faire discrète, presque invisible, se tenir à distance, toujours sur ses gardes... Voilà ce qu''est devenue la vie de Poppy depuis qu''elle a été trahie par l''homme qui avait juré de l''aimer et de la protéger.

Once upon a time, there was a beautiful princess who called a corrupt kingdom home sweet home. Protected and sheltered from the worst the world had to offer, she fell in love with the crumbling city that burned and blazed around her. Every dirty corner, every scary shadow, found a place within her heart. So did a man who was violent and dangerous, just like the streets she claimed as her own. He was all business and brutality, except when it came to her. With her, he was calm, caring, and heartbreakingly patient. He warned her over and over that he wasn''t the man for her, but she refused to listen. She never expected either the streets or their enforcer to hurt her, since she''d given her heart so completely to both. She should have known the streets in the Point were always going to be savage, and so was the man committed to keeping control of them in the hands of criminals and bloody kingpins. Blindsided by a betrayal which cut so deeply she was sure the wounds would never heal, the princess fled the home she loved and the man who broke her heart. Throwing away her rusted, twisted crown was supposed to help her forget. All it did was make her long for everything she left behind. She told herself she would never go back, but in this tormented kingdom, family is everything. Eventually, she has no choice but to return. While she was gone, the people who loved her worked hard to make the city safe, and the man who destroyed her sank deeper into the darkness. Going back shouldn''t feel like surrender... but it does. As this pretty princess hovers on the edge of the unknown, the past attacks with a vengeance. It''s a good reminder that puppy love eventually grows up and turns into something with sharp teeth and one hell of a bite. She never asked for the keys to the kingdom. She''d much rather go out and build her own.

It was hate at first sight...... Affton I hated Cable James McCaffrey. He was entitled, spoiled, a user...and an addict. He was out of control and didn''t bother trying to hide it. He had everything anyone could want but still seemed miserable and lost. Every move he made, every mistake he stumbled his way through, rubbed me the wrong way. However, I couldn''t stop myself from trying to save him from himself when no one else would. In the sweltering heat of the summer, Cable taught me that having it all means nothing if you can''t have the one thing you want more than anything else. Cable I was obsessed with Affton Reed. She was rigid, uptight, and no fun. There was something about her innate goodness that called to me. She acted like she was above all the normal faults and failures that clung to the rest of us like the scent of smoke after a fire. I was infatuated with her, but that didn''t stop me from acting like she didn''t exist. In the scorching heat of summer, Affton taught me that there is always a way back from the brink of despair. She showed me that the trick to having it all was realizing that it was already there, in my hands. All I had to do was hold onto it. The road to recovery is full of twists and turns no matter who is in the driver''s seat

Après Marked Men, Jay Crownover revient enfin avec une romance « into the wild ». Un voyage initiatique et sexy au grand air. Léo se remet difficilement d''un échec sentimental qui la conduit à se replier sur elle-même et s''éloigner des autres.

Léo est tout de suite troublé par Cyrus, ombrageux et mystérieux, qui semble aussi peu sociable qu''elle.

Dall'autrice del bestseller Oltre le regole Welcome Series Titus King è un uomo che ha sempre visto il mondo in bianco e nero. Giusto o sbagliato, niente mezze misure. E questo è uno dei motivi per cui, da adolescente, ha lasciato la famiglia per cercare di costruirsi una vita migliore, da solo. Adesso che è diventato un investigatore di polizia in una delle città con il più alto tasso di criminalità del Paese, non può negare che la sua esistenza abbia assunto notevoli sfumature di grigio. In giro c’è un criminale che si è lasciato alle spalle una lunga scia di distruzione e morte, e la differenza tra giusto e sbagliato, quando Titus pensa a lui, si fa sempre più labile. Come se non bastasse, a minare il suo ferreo senso della moralità c’è anche la bellissima e misteriosa Reeve Black, tornata di recente in città. Reeve rappresenta un pericolo ma anche ciò di cui lui ha davvero bisogno: insieme si troveranno nel fuoco incrociato di una guerra sotterranea e letale. La posta in gioco è la redenzione...

Elle est sa raison de vivre. Il est sa raison de fuir. Tuer ou être tué. C’est la loi qui a régi l’enfance et l’adolescence de Nassir Gates. Aujourd’hui, il n’aspire plus qu’à une chose : l’anonymat. Et The Point semble l’endroit idéal pour ça : dans cet enfer d’asphalte et d’acier, personne ne pose trop de questions. Mais le jour où il aperçoit Keelyn Foster sur la scène de ce club malfamé où elle danse à moitié nue, il découvre ce qu’il n’attendait plus : une raison de vivre. Elle est trop jeune, trop innocente, trop vivante pour cet endroit et il se promet de la sauver. Même s’il doit pour cela replonger dans le mode de vie qu’il a fui. Car, pour faire Keelyn sienne et lui offrir la vie qu’elle mérite, il sait qu’il n’y a qu’une solution : se hisser jusqu’au sommet de la hiérarchie secrète de The Point. A propos de l''auteur : Tout comme les personnages de ses romans, Jay Crownover est une grande amatrice (et collectionneuse !) de tatouages. Lorsqu’elle a pris conscience qu’elle ne deviendrait pas la rock star qu’elle rêvait d’être depuis ses huit ans, elle a décidé d’embrasser son autre passion : l’écriture. Très vite remarquée et couronnée par les lecteurs et les critiques, elle fait aujourd’hui partie du top des New York Times et USA Today.
