From the first moment I saw him, I knew that Rainer Engel was like
no other man. Dangerously sexy and darkly mysterious, he both
enticed me and terrified me. I wanted to run-to fight against the
heat that was building between us-but there was nowhere to go. I
needed his help as much as I needed his touch. And so help me, I
knew that I would do anything he asked in order to have both. But
even as our passion burned hot, the secrets in Raine's past reached
out to destroy us ... and we would both have to make the greatest
sacrifice to find a love that would last forever.
CARESS OF PLEASURE: She'll agree to help himâŚbut who will help
her heart? I'd thought that he was mine, the dark, arresting man
who commanded not only my body but my heart. Dante had swept into
my life, and I'd succumbed to the burn of passion in his arms. I'd
believed we had a love that would last forever, but he'd shattered
my dreams and broken me into pieces when he'd walked away, taking a
piece of my soul with him. Now he has come back seeking my help,
and though I try to keep my distance and protect my heart, I cannot
deny that the fire between us burns hotter than ever. And I cannot
help but fear that this time our passion will reduce us both to
ashes. ADORED: A man who gave up on loveâMitch Bradford is an

healthy relationship. After a few failed attempts, he knows heâs
not good for any womanâespecially not his best friendâs sister.

play, she knows he just needs a little polish to make some woman
the perfect lover. She intends to be that woman, but first she has
to show him how good it could be. A killer lurking in the
shadowsâWhen an unexpected turn of events throws the two
together, Mitch and Laurel are confronted with the perfect
opportunity to explore their mutual desire. Night after night of
being close breaks down Mitchâs defenses. The more he sees of
Laurel, the more he knows he wants her. Unfortunately, someone else

of that changes when a sexy fallen angel infiltrates his prison and
unintentionally starts a riot. Itâs easy enough to quell an
uprising, but for the first time, Hades is torn between delivering
justice â or bestowing mercy â on the beautiful female who
could be his salvationâŚor his undoing. Thanks to her unwitting
participation in another angelâs plot to start Armageddon,
Cataclysm was kicked out of Heaven and is now a fallen angel in
service of Hadesâs boss, Azagoth. All she wants is to redeem
herself and get back where she belongs. But when she gets trapped
in Hadesâs prison domain with only the cocky but irresistible
Hades to help her, Cat finds that where she belongs might be in the
place she least expected⌠ETERNAL GUARDIANS: Ari--Once an Eternal
Guardian, now he's nothing but a rogue mercenary with one singular
focus: revenge. His guardian brothers all think heâs dead, but he
is very much alive in the human realm, chipping away at Zeusâs
Sirens every chance he can, reveling in his brutality and
anonymity. Until, that is, he abducts the wrong female and his
identity is finally exposed. It will take more than the Eternal
Guardians, more even than the gods to rein Ari in after everything
heâs done. It may just take the courage of one woman willing to
stand up to a warrior whoâs become a savage. Every Dark Nights
tale is breathtakingly sexy and magically romantic.

"USA Today" bestselling author Julie Kenner follows up her
acclaimed thrillers "The Givenchy Code" and "The Manolo Matrix"
with a whip-smart new adventure in code-breaking --
Hollywood-style!
Devi Taylor was one of Hollywood's fastest-rising starlets --
until a crazed fan held her at knifepoint and she retreated to a
life of privacy and Valium. Now recovered and ready for a comeback,
Devi dreams of endorsing all things Prada, whose Rodeo Drive store
she can't resist. Instead, she lands the starring role in The
Givenchy Code, a high-budget action-adventure flick. But with the
tabloids all over Givenchy and her recent split with her drop-dead
handsome costar, Blake, Devi can't shake the feeling that another
crazed fan is going to strike.
Then a frightening message -- "Play or Die" -- is delivered to
Devi's house, and she finds herself sucked into a deadly and
cryptic game not unlike the one in the movie she's starring in.
Hollywood has always been her life, but does Devi know its secrets
well enough to follow the cinematic clues that might save her and
her favorite Prada bag?
