Kerrigan Byrne

She's trying to escape her past... Hitting the reset button with the help of a friend from back home in Boston, all Margaret Michaels is hoping for is a fresh start. And it doesn't get much fresher than the seaside hamlet of Townsend Harbor. Handed a place to live and a job as a bartender in the town's most popular nautical-themed pub, she's been given a hell of a head start--for once in her life. There's only one problem. She's never tended bar a day in her life. A fact that a certain studly regular seems all too eager to point out. He's trying to build a future... Deputy Trent McGarvey loves two things: leggy redheads, and a good craft cocktail at the end of a long shift. And though he's relatively recent transplant to Townsend Harbor from a seedy beat in Albuquerque, he knows just where to find both. Or did, until the smart-mouthed sprite who doesn't know a Manhattan from a Mojito took over for the gastropub's well-loved, willowy martini maven. And yet, the more McGarvey learns about fiery Maggie Michaels, the more he can't help but notice that the evidence isn't quite lining up with the story the messy mixologist provides him. But if there's anything McGarvey loves-okay, three things-it's a mystery. When an after-hours crash course in cocktails leaves their thinking as muddled as the mint, the passionate fling that ensues could leave both their long-term prospects within Townsend Harbor on the rocks.

Izvestnyj korolevskij sudja Kassius Dzherard Ramzi rassleduet dela o mnogochislennykh prestuplenijakh i skandalakh, svjazannykh s londonskim igornym biznesom, kotorym vladeet svetskaja dama...

Everyone thinks LYRA MCKENDRICK is magic. She's not, for the record, just a lawyer who predicted a few outcomes that were blown out of proportion in the robust Townsend Harbor rumor mill. After a messy breakup in which she lost her thriving practice, she's returned to her hometown to lick her wounds and is persuaded by a local town cook to capitalize on her cringe-worthy reputation by running the local new-age shop. How hard could it be to sell chakra-cleansing crystals, libraries worth of tarot cards, crops of candles, and enough incense to choke out Willie Nelson's entire entourage? When one of Townsend Harbor's many ancient trees threaten her plumbing, she engages Cypress Forrester, aka "Cy the Tree Guy" to rid her of the problem. Instead, he seems intent on becoming one. Cy's family have been arborists and healers for generations, and they're firm believers in the mysticism of trees, among other things. When she hires him to chop down an endangered tree to save her business, they find themselves on opposite ends of a battle neither of them is willing to lose. As a man tethered by indigenous roots to the earth, Cy immediately realizes Lyra is a woman who lives in her head, which often disassociates her from her heart, body, and intuition. It's how she always finds "practical" explanations for the series of unexplained, serendipitous coincidences that keep thrusting them together. Alone. But Cy knows better, and he realizes that he must tempt her out of her thoughts and back into her body, and what better way to do that than by a thorough seduction?

Darby Dunwell is not-as her name might suggest-a Bond Girl, though she's been blessed with the body of one. An east coast, ivy-league, trust fund kid, she flees a life of expectation, elocution, and executive board rooms to follow her one true love: Coffee. Isn't the Washington Coast the Mecca for all things brew related? The deeply eccentric seaside tourist hamlet of Townsend Harbor throws its doors wide open for her sex-positive, bikini-themed coffee shop named, Brewbies. Her grand opening is an unmitigated success, until the county sheriff saunters in to shut her down. Compulsive rule-follower Sheriff Ethan Townsend is known for helping old ladies across the road, breaking up bar fights, and keeping the sleepy town safe from the flood of seasonal tourists. One-night stands, not so much. After having his heart publicly stomped on, he no longer bothers to ask the name of the woman he's going to forget in the morning. A policy he regrets when the woman who blew his mind turns out to be his nemesis. Not only is Darby's salacious coffee shop causing traffic incidents on the Coastal Highway, its proprietress keeps making his life-among other things-as hard as possible. Darby finds herself embroiled in a feud she never wanted with the cop who is as tight assed as his trousers suggest. But even as their animosity sizzles and the town begins to take sides, Ethan can't seem to keep his eyes off Darby's double D's.

ence "Cady" Bloomquist knows two things for sure: First, shelving books at her shop, Nevermore Bookstore, totally counts as cardio. Second, staying late every Thursday night to take a certain mysterious customer's order is not the same as waiting by the phone for some man. Until. Until the calls with the man who identifies himself only as "Fox" last for hours, and become the highlight of her week. Which leaves her to wonder, if his jagged velvet voice can kindle her fire over the phone, what sort of alchemy might it inspire if they met in person? There's nothing Roman Fawkes wants more than the brilliant, beautiful bookstore owner, but Roman Fawkes knows it can never happen. Secreted in his mountain hideaway high above sleepy little Townsend Harbor, his hermit's existence shields him-and those around him-from the pain of his past. Until. Until one of their weekly calls is interrupted by a break-in, and Fawkes is powerless to protect the woman who has become his one link to the world. Orchestrating a trap for the fool who dared harm her, Fawkes finds himself not just ensnared, but beguiled by her. Now so close to Cady, he discovers she's fallen for "Fox", and yet he's unable to reveal her heart's desire is closer than she thinks. Can Fawkes resist the temptation to get between Cady's covers, knowing they'll never have a happily ever after?

Chelovek, izvestnyj pod prozvischem Dorsetskij Djavol, - samyj smelyj i khitroumnyj iz dzhentlmenov, vybravshikh svoej professiej sekretnuju sluzhbu britanskoj korone. On menjaet oblichja i imena, ostavajas svoim i v roskoshnykh balnykh zalakh, i v grjaznykh temnykh zakoulkakh. No glavnaja tsel - zagadochnyj vrag, kotoryj ne ustupaet emu umom i po-prezhnemu ostaetsja neulovimym... V stolichnom svete ee znajut kak ljubitelnitsu veselja i razvlechenij, legkomyslennuju grafinju Franchesku Kavendish. Odnako v dejstvitelnosti ona besstrashnaja i bezzhalostnaja mstitelnitsa, dejstvujuschaja inkognito, chtoby najti i unichtozhit tekh, kto bezzhalostno raspravilsja s ee rodnymi i blizkimi... Ljubov ne vkhodit v plany etikh dvoikh, kazhdyj iz kotorykh bukvalno oderzhim svoej missiej. Odnako razve serdtse podchinjaetsja golosu razuma?

A new trio of siblings learn that it is impossible to be a Goode without being a little wicked... He's the man with the Midas touch... Elijah Wolfe is just as ruthless and aggressive as his name suggests. Born in harsh Nevada desert, he used his sharp wits and sharper fists to fight for survival mining ore for terrible men... Until one day he struck gold, literally. Despite his unimaginable wealth, his heart is empty of trust and his world full of enemies. He's come to England searching for a priceless treasure once stolen from him and is prepared to ruin anyone who gets in his way. She's a thief with a heart of gold... Rosaline Goode's callous father left her nothing but a legacy of shame. Instead of worrying about the women gossiping behind their fans, or the cruelty of eligible men, she spends her nights avoiding society and mapping the stars. That is until absurd circumstances find her, nearly naked, in the home of the famously unscrupulous, lethal American whose name is on everyone's lips. The promise of plunder... Succumbing to a shotgun wedding is the worst thing Eli can imagine, but if it is what he must do to get what he wants, then so be it. Except now, all the arguments he'd made against the marriage are becoming enticements. His new wife is too young. Too small, sheltered, soft, and sensitive for a man forged in the mines and tempered in the desert heat. If theirs is a Devil's bargain, then why does her shy touch take him to heaven?

The three eldest Goode sisters learn that on the other side of sin, seduction, and scandal true love can be found... Seducing a StrangerSir Carlton Morley stalks the night as an inspector and a vigilante, vowing to never give into the temptations that ruin so many men. Until temptation lands-quite literally-in his lap, taking the form of Prudence Goode. Prim and proper Pru is expected to live a life of drudgery, but before she succumbs to her fate, she craves just one night of desire. When she stumbles upon a man made of shadows, muscle and wrath... She quickly decides he is the one. Courting TroubleDoctor Titus Conleith was able to lift himself from his beginnings as a bastard stable boy to become the most celebrated surgeon in the realm. Now the woman who shattered his young heart by leaving his bed to marry another is bleeding out on his table... Honoria Goode sacrificed years to a cruel and loveless marriage, only for it to end in deadly violence. Her first love is the first person she sees when she opens her eyes... But she's not in heaven, she's in his hospital. As their passion reignites, Honoria begins to hope this fierce man will allow her the second chance she doesn't deserve. Dancing With DangerAmateur sleuth, Mercy Goode, finds mischief wherever she goes. When she's arrested at a murder scene with Raphael Sauvageau, a silver-tongued smuggler and relentlessly wicked rake, she already has the evidence to exonerate him of the crime. Raphael has no time for obsession. He's an empire to run, a murder to avenge, and a plan to save his brother that is likely a suicide mission. But this clever, infuriating bluestocking keeps showing up where she doesn't belong. And for some bloody reason they can't seem to be in the same room without falling into each other's arms.
