When the clone pods were abandoned on the ice planet, two of them opened before the others. Corvak, a gladiator and a splice, ran into the snows. He carried Aidy, a confused human woman. They're on the run, determined not to get caught.

Aidy has no idea what's going on or why she's been dumped in the icy mountains. Corvak, however, is convinced this is all one big gladiator game, and one he's determined to win. To do that, they'll have to avoid all the others and survive by any means possible.

Why do they need this parasite anyhow...and why do their chests keep humming?

The luxury retreat prides itself on being a destination for those in love and those looking to find it - but for Eliza and Graham it's the last place they want to be. After a well-meaning guest mistakes Eliza and Graham as being single and introduces them at the hotel bar, they don't correct him. Suddenly, they're pretending to be perfect strangers and it's unexpectedly fun. Eliza and Graham find themselves flirting like it's their first date. Everyone at the retreat can see the electric chemistry between Eliza and Graham's alter egos. But as their game continutes they realize this performance could be the very thing that saves their marriage . . .

I’ve been tackled by defensive linemen twice my size and sprinted into end zones with thousands of fans screaming my name, but nothing―and I mean nothing―could’ve prepared me for Blakely.

I should have known from the first time we met that she’d change everything for me. How could she not? A woman bold enough to break into my house and attempt to steal from me isn’t exactly someone you forget and move on from.

So, when I’m asked, or told, to find a wife, I know it has to be her.

That’s supposed to be all it is. She needs somewhere to live, and I need the headlines. But what starts as a simple arrangement quickly becomes something far more complicated. Blakely is guarded, unpredictable, and protective of those she loves. The more time I spend with her, the more I realize this isn’t about my career anymore.

With just two months on the clock, can I break down her walls before she breaks my heart?

Everyone says opposites attract. And they must be right, because there's no logical reason why I'm so drawn to Colin Fitzgerald. I don't usually go for tattoo-covered, video-gaming, hockey-playing nerd-jocks who think I'm flighty and superficial. His narrow view of me is the first strike against him. It doesn't help that he's buddy-buddy with my brother.

And that his best friend has a crush on me. And that I just moved in with them.

Oh, did I not mention we're roommates?

I suppose it doesn't matter. Fitzy has made it clear he's not interested in me, even though the sparks between us are liable to burn our house down. I'm not the kind of girl who chases after a man, though, and I'm not about to start. I've got my hands full dealing with a new school, a sleazy professor, and an uncertain future. So if my sexy brooding roomie wises up and realizes what he's missing?

He knows where to find me.

Game guide Alexandra Carnell-Ellis is principled, doesn’t suffer fools, and is generally not too fond of ordinary people either. When she’s fired from The Plains, a commercial ‘Ferrari Safari’-type game reserve in the Karoo for being rude to guests, she’s determined to make a fresh start.

She lands a dream job at an exclusive game reserve in Mpumalanga, but Alex arrives at the lodge with attitude, a few facts about her that aren’t strictly true, and a stolen dog in tow.

Alex struggles to control her unruly tongue and almost immediately makes enemies with the camp manager and the owner’s terrifyingly scary girlfriend. She finds love in the form of the level-headed and attractive head guide, but it’s not long before everything goes wrong.

After impulsively abandoning her vehicle and guests to rescue an abandoned baby baboon, a storm breaks over her head and she flees the reserve. Will she ever be able to find her way back?
