Police detective Patrick Flaherty has no illusions about Russian
mobster Alexei Boczar, but that doesn't stop his fascination with
the bodyguard to one of the most ruthless families in Chicago's
growing Eastern European crime community. From the moment Patrick
meets Alexei's eyes over the body of another Russian mobster,
Alexei is a thorn in Patrick's side, refusing to cooperate with the
police and turning all of Patrick's questions back on him. Alexei's
hard-as-nails persona whets Patrick's professional determination to
get the information he's sure the gangster is hiding, while
personally Patrick just wants to get his hands on Alexei's hard
body.
The tattoos marking Alexei's skin tell the story of his criminal
past, but the more Patrick learns about Alexei, the more he wants
to know, until he finds himself over his head in a relationship
that might cost him his job and could well cost Alexei his life.
Alexei is equally fascinated by Patrick's willingness to overlook
his past and even his present associations, but he has secrets of
his own that could drive a wedge between them forever.

russischen Gangster Alexej Boczar, aber das ändert nichts an
seiner Faszination für den Leibwächter einer der
rücksichtslosesten Familien in Chicagos wachsender
osteuropäischer Kriminalität. Von dem Moment an, als sich
Patricks und Alexejs Blicke über der Leiche eines ermordeten
russischen Gangsters begegnen, ist Alexej ein Dorn in seinem
Fleisch, der sich weigert, mit der Polizei zu kooperieren und der
jede Frage Patricks mit einer Gegenfrage beantwortet. Alexejs harte
Fassade verstärkt nur Patricks beruflichen Ehrgeiz, die
Informationen zu bekommen, von denen er sicher ist, dass der
Gangster sie verbirgt. Privat will Patrick nichts anderes, als
Alexejs harten Körper in die Finger zu bekommen.Die Tätowierungen
auf Alexejs Haut erzählen die Geschichte seiner kriminellen
Vergangenheit, aber je mehr Patrick über Alexej erfährt, desto
mehr will er wissen – bis er sich in einer Beziehung
wiederfindet, der er kaum gewachsen ist und die ihn seinen Job und
Alexej sogar das Leben kosten könnte. Alexej seinerseits ist
fasziniert von Patricks Bereitschaft, über seine Vergangenheit und
selbst seine gegenwärtigen Verbindungen hinwegzusehen. Aber er hat
Geheimnisse, die für immer einen Keil zwischen sie treiben
könnten.

Raúl has ever known. When a letter from Gerrard's estranged father
forces them in separate directions—Gerrard back to England to
make peace with his family and Raúl to Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer
for his annual pilgrimage—Raúl expects to suffer for their
parting, but he holds on to their plans to meet again in France

England never expecting to return, especially after he pledged his
life and love to Raúl. Yet he cannot dismiss his father's offer of
peace without some acknowledgment. When he arrives in England to
find tragedy, his sense of duty toward his family's tenants wars

not limitless. Gerrard is the rock he leans on, and without that

All for Love: Book Two Aristide, Léandre, and Perrin pledge only
three loyalties in life: their king, their captain, and their
passion for each other. So when the musketeers discover a plan to
accuse M. de Tréville of treason, the initial impulse to kill the
messenger, Benoît, is tempered by their need to unmask the
plotter. But their first two suspects, the English ambassador and
Cardinal Richelieu, prove to be innocent, forcing the musketeers to
delve deeper into the inner machinations of the French court.
Meanwhile, Aristide finds himself falling in love with the
ill-fated messenger, a blacksmith without a home who rouses all of
his protective, possessive instincts. Benoît, however, has no
interest in any man. Torn between desire and duty, Aristide must
find a way to protect the king and clear his captain's name—all
while heeding the demands of his heart.
All for Love: Book One When sword-for-hire Teodoro Ciéza de Vivar
accepts a commission to "rescue" Lord Christian Blackwood from
unsuitable influences, he has no idea he's landed himself in the
middle of a plot to assassinate King Philip IV of Spain and blame
the English ambassador for the deed. Nor does he expect the spoiled
child he's sent to retrieve to be a handsome, engaging young man.
As Teodoro and Christian face down enemies at every turn, they fall
more and more in love, an emotion they can't safely indulge with
the threat of the Inquisition looming over them. It will take all
their combined guile and influence to outmaneuver the powerful men
who would see them separated… or even killed.
It might be a sham to his boss, but it's all too real to him.

beautiful rodeo star Melissa Cutler break up just weeks before the
biggest event of the Dallas social season, the Cattle Baron's Ball,
and Linc asks Jonah to accompany him in her place. Is it all a ploy
to make Melissa jealous? Can Jonah fit into Linc's world? It takes
some encouragement from his roommates and his best friend, Caylee,
for Jonah to agree. Before long, Jonah dares to believe Linc might
just feel something for him... until interfering family and a
series of misunderstandings threaten his fragile dream of
happiness.
Captured and accused of piracy, privateer Blaise Risner, captain of
the Golden Stallion, finds himself in a clinch - literally - with
Confederation Admiral Peter Keller, who promises to see justice
done by way of hard labor. But when the chemistry between them
rivals the heat of the twin Talixin suns, the dominant admiral
decides he wants to handle the rehabilitation of the provocative
pirate himself. After their first close encounter, Blaise figures
that serving Keller in such a personal capacity won't be such a
terrible sentence. Keller dispenses his own forms of painful
justice and sensual discipline, which usually involve a
not-so-resistant Blaise on his knees bound and determined to give
as good as he gets. The privateer can't deny that suffering the
handsome admiral's punishments makes him burn like the fires of the
Horsehead Nebula. Serving in the roles of prisoner and captor
defines their 'relationship', but no power can stop a shooting star
... the star of startling passion that flares every time they
touch. Just when Blaise thinks he can navigate the treacherous
asteroid field of emotion to find common ground with Keller, an
interstellar war tears them apart. Through it all, Blaise's desire
for his captor stands as tall and strong as the monoliths of
Maraven, and he'll go to the very edge of the galaxy and back if
that's what it takes to crack the ice around the admiral's heart.
