Irina "Ira" Jeffries and her roommate, Fernanda Lopez, turn heads,
even in a paradise like Miami's South Beach where beauty is the
rule, not the exception. Ira lands local modeling gigs while
working at an ultra-hip art deco hotel. Fernanda's classic Hispanic
looks catapult her to the top of the local pageant scene. Both
women take a mind-blowing ride into the cutthroat and competitive
fashion and pageant worlds filled with seductive men, thousand
dollar champagne toasts, Botox parties, spiked drinks, and the most
incredible cities. Ira must choose between the frenetic pace of the
fashion runways or the man she loves, sexy Spaniard and aspiring
shoe designer, Pablo Andrews. Fernanda's quest for being the best
and nabbing the crown of Miss United States drives her into the
arms of local celebrity and former trash-talking Miami Tarpon
football player, Thomas Traylor. Each woman eventually has to make
the biggest decision of her life about who she really wants to be.
The options leave them both Head Over High Heels.
Sophia "Phia" Lopez has lived a sheltered and over-protected life.
First, growing up under the strict rule of her Cuban father in
Miami, and then living with her equally stern brother in San Diego.
At almost twenty-five, she feels like the world is passing her by.
And then, a chance of a lifetime Phia is chosen to be the personal
assistant and traveling companion for famous Hollywood actress,
Loreal De Winter, who is sailing incognito aboard the luxury cruise
ship The Viceroy following extensive plastic surgery. Not only will
Phia, an aspiring actress, have the opportunity to learn from a
true legend, but she'll also be able to finally live life and all
it has to offer on her terms - not under the watchful eyes of her
brother and father. She plans to do plenty of dancing, drinking,
and flirting. The moment she steps aboard, she catches the eye of
the sexy ship's photographer, Evan Gregory, who is more than
willing to match her flirt-for-flirt during their eighteen day
cruise. The two spend a magical day on the beach in Cabo San Lucas,
enjoy a heated night at the disco, and explore their mutual
attraction to each other that leaves Phia's head spinning. But
Phia's also got her work cut out for her. Not only is Loreal on a
cocktail of pills washed down by an assortment of liquors and
wines, but she's only too happy to share her life lessons and
plenty of Hollywood dirt with Phia on a daily basis. To make
matters worse, Loreal's ex-husband has hired undercover paparazzi
on board the ship, attempting to snap embarrassing photos of the
still-healing silver screen star that could end her big comeback.
Phia experiences life, love, and loyalty to the fullest as The
Viceroy makes its way from the Pacific, through the Panama Canal,
and into the Atlantic Ocean, with a media circus awaiting them upon
docking in Miami. Will Loreal manage to give the paparazzi the slip
or will she be exposed? Will Phia choose her loyalty to Loreal or
her feelings for Evan? And, in the end, will everyone be able to
save face?
For Vanessa Virtue, all work and no play leads straight to
temptation, one that's too hot to touch...or resist. A
well-deserved work promotion opens up a thrilling world that
Vanessa could only long for until now: exotic travel, a corporate
credit card, and the opportunity to ogle hunk-and-a-half Kyle
Nettles. Unfortunately, their employer has a strict "no dating
within the company" policy. So instead of succumbing to her
feelings, Vanessa hones her flirtations on the competition: a rock
star sales exec who works for their rival company. Rory Ellery has
dreamy blue eyes and a kiss that threatens to obliterate Vanessa's
taboo crush on Kyle...and just might provide a great chance for
spying on the competition. That is, unless Rory is actually spying
on her. When Vanessa goes digging for dirt with Rory, what she
uncovers is scandal-and risks losing her job completely. To make
things right with her employer, she'll have to enlist Kyle's help.
But to make things right with her soul, is she willing to risk her
job and her security in order to open her heart to Kyle? Resisting
Temptation Book 2: Can't Fight This

handyman with it? Isabella "Griz" Perry thinks her boyfriend is
about to propose, but instead he dumps her during her best friend's
engagement party. So, when she receives news that her mysterious
Aunt Stella has passed away and named Isabella the sole heir of her
estate in Dilligas Flats, Alabama, the Boston graphic designer
jumps at the chance to get away. However, this city girl is in for
a rude awakening. Her imagined palatial plantation house, a la Gone
with the Wind, is actually a rundown chicken farm with a rather
surly-albeit gorgeous-live-in handyman. After a devastating
shooting followed by being left at the altar, New York City cop
Jake Hansen took off on his motorcycle and rode as far south as it
would travel. Haunted by the past, he's shut down any chance of
being in a relationship again. But the arrival of the impossibly
stubborn, and adorable, Isabella to Dilligas Flats turns his
resolve upside down. With Isabella's boss sending angry emails
demanding her return to Boston and Jake's former fiancee popping up
for a reconciliation, there's a bumpy road ahead for these would-be
soul mates. Neither can resist the temptation the other offers. Can
they each bury their skeletons, stop fighting themselves, and
finally find true happiness? Resisting Temptation Book 1: Can't

I'm Chai Devareaux. By day, I'm your average senior at Miami's
South Beach High. I love hanging with my friends at the beach, and
I work hard to keep up my grades so I can get in Columbia
University in the fall. But every afternoon and night? I transform
into the model in front of the camera with the smoky eyes,
perfectly styled hair, and fitted designer clothes. I'm the girl in
all the hottest clubs where the beautiful people frequent and the
fashion photographers gather. I'm the girl who everyone else wants
to be. The problem is it's not my dream. I want to be a doctor. But
try telling that to my mother, 80's supermodel icon, Claire-Ann
Devareaux, a hard-living, hard-loving plastic surgery addict who's
still chasing what's left of the limelight. And it makes my life a
living headache. Even hooking up with hot teen supermodel Ty
Willingham hands me more challenges than ever. Yeah, I might look
like I have it made, but it's just the role I play. I'm such a
poser. Warning: contains mature content, 18+.
Radisson, Georgia, is in the full Christmas-season swing. A tree
decorates the city center, lights twinkle and shine all over town,
and everyone's rushing around tending to last-minute holiday to-do
items. None more so than Kendall Moorehead-yet she's anything but
merry. Stressed from her academic finals and her work as a psychic,
unnoticed and ignored by parents concentrating their attentions on
her little sister Kaitlin, and overloaded with responsibilities for
the church, the community, and her friend's wedding, Kendall isn't
exactly in the Christmas spirit. Her bah-humbug attitude makes her
want to sleep straight through the last week of the year... until a
visit from the spirit of an old friend tells her she needs to slow
down, enjoy being a teenager, and appreciate her life and family.
During the night, Kendall is visited by three ghosts-Past, Present,
and Future-who remind her of what a wonderful life she has and what
a positive influence she is on others, particularly Kaitlin. Will
she be able to recapture that blessed Christmas spirit, or will she
be doomed to accept the troubling future that could be ahead for
her?
Teen psychic Kendall Moorehead is about to embark on the most
dangerous and shocking ghost hunt of her life. After all, it isn't
every day that the ghost of Princess Diana steps in as a personal
spirit guide. But Shy Di isn't the only surprise awaiting Kendall
and her team of teen paranormal superstars as they begin a
whirlwind tour of Europe with renowned TV medium Oliver Bates. As
soon as Kendall sets foot on British soil she immediately
encounters her first specter-a meeting that raises many questions,
and sends her hot boyfriend Patrick rushing to help with the
mystery...and to comfort in the way only a boyfriend can. Surely
the trip to Paris and Rome will be even more romantic than this
first day in London. That is if Kendall's ex-boyfriend Jason stays
out of the way. But love problems and eerie British ghosts aren't
Kendall's only problems. Team leader Oliver has brought along
Scottish teen psychic Christian Campbell, a rising star with a
sinister aura about him-literally. When Christian starts dabbling
with a Ouija board during their paranormal investigations, things
turn dark, as a potentially demonic entity named Dojo emerges. This
being torments Kendall, making her doubt her mission and calling as
a psychic. Kendall races to battle not only Christian and his
shadowy methods, but also Dojo...wondering if both might be far
more real than she wants to believe.
Hayley Matthews has one dream: to make it onto the varsity
cheerleading team her senior year of high school. Odds are against
her, but she doesn't let that stop her from trying. So she works
hard for months, perfecting her gymnastics and dancing moves. And
despite the odds, she makes the squad.
In an instant, Hayley's life changes. Now she's part of the
popular crowd at school, dating a football player, and going to
parties. And she's working hard to be as perfect on the squad as
her captain expects them all to be.
But then one day Hayley notices a lump on her left leg and the
steady throb she's been feeling has gotten much worse. She can
barely walk. When Hayley goes with her mom to get it checked out,
the diagnosis is cancer. The doctor can't say how bad it is or what
the prognosis will be. At the minimum, she'll have to have surgery.
At the most it could mean loss of her leg or even her life.
Once again Hayley's life changes in an instant. Now she must
face the odds again and show everyone, including herself, just how
strong she is. And through it all--three surgeries, chemo,
radiation, rehab, and just getting back to a normal life--it's
cheerleading that keeps Hayley focused and positive.
All she wants to do is cheer, and nothing, including cancer, is
going to stop her.
After some time off, Kendall's ready to begin ghost hunting again.
But her life is still in flux. She misses Patrick, her new love.
She needs to find a photographer to replace Taylor. Plus, she may
have discovered who her real father is, but to be sure, she has to
convince his family she's not a fake. And then there's a certain
doll that seems to be out to get her and her friends. A "doll? "How
could that be? Unless, perhaps, it's not just a doll. Maybe it's a
vessel containing the soul of a man so evil in life, not even death
could stop his reign of terror. This could be Kendall's most
terrifying and deadliest encounter yet.
Kendall and her ghost hunting team is the talk of Radisson,
Georgia, but one person isn't so pleased. Courtney Langdon doesn't
appreciate Kendall's new popularity or her relationship with Jason,
Courtney's ex.
So Courtney begins dabbling in the paranormal world. At first
it's all a game to draw attention away from Kendall. But Courtney
doesn't know what she's getting into--or what wants in her. This is
one game that's about to turn deadly serious.
