Twins Ana and Jason, along with their cousin
Nicholas, are successful thirtysomethings who are single—and loving it.
They have no idea that their relatives are betting on which one of them
will get married first. But by the family's New Year's Eve reunion, will
all three have learned what it means to be really lucky—in love? As CEO
of Serenity Records, Ana Cole never backs down.
Now the hot new
recording artist she's signed has made her the target of death threats,
forcing her to go into hiding. And protecting her is U.S. marshal Jacob
Jones. Jacob has better things to do on his vacation than play
bodyguard. Until he gets a glimpse of the body he'll be guarding?
Spending days and nights together in close quarters stokes their mutual
attraction into an inferno of desire. But if Jacob can outwit a would-be
assassin, will their love outlast his assignment? |

YOU
CAN'T PLAN LOVE - Synithia Williams
|
|
Knowing firsthand the heartbreak
that comes when desire and emotion rule a relationship, Kenyatta
Copeland assumes marrying Brad Johnson will lead to a safe and secure
life. But as much as she believes she can plan her future, it’s hard to
ignore the way her boss, Malcolm Patterson, ignites her passions with
just one look.
After Malcolm learns of her
engagement, he makes a play for her heart and reminds her that passion
between a man and a woman has its perks… but also its costs. When Brad
confirms his suspicion that there’s more than work between Kenyatta and
Malcolm, he devises a sinister plan to keep Kenyatta by his side. Torn
between her promise to marry Brad and her irrepressible longing for
Malcolm, Kenyatta must decide if she can live her life in a passionless
marriage of convenience or once again trust her heart. Yet Brad does not
intend to let her go easily, and by the time she realizes the depths of
his treachery, it may be too late. |

Solomon Singletary has no
interest in establishing
substantive relationships with
women and even prides himself on
his ability to remain distant
while still getting what he
wants. Then a chance encounter
with one of his “victims” and
her young son sparks something
in him he never anticipated: a
desire to seek forgiveness, from
her and himself. Winning back
Michele could prove even more
difficult than admitting he was
wrong, and as Solomon opens his

imagined, he also makes an
alarming discovery about a close
friend.
In this entertaining
novel, Curtis Bunn offers rare
insight into the raw emotions,
vulnerabilities, and flaws of a

Fifty-year-old Alabama congressman Lawrence Rudolph Simmons will do whatever it takes to get re-elected--even switch parties from Democrat to Republican. With the political tide turning, Lawrence feels it's his best shot--along with his charisma, solid twenty-nine year marriage, and three great kids. But a buried secret from his past is about to be resurrected. . .
It's been eight years since Gabrielle Mercedes gave up her baby for adoption. But when she learns the child desperately needs a bone marrow transplant, she doesn't hesitate to contact the congressman. Like Lawrence, Gabrielle will fight for what she wants, even if it means the truth could ruin someone else's life and career. . .
