Description en VO :

He might be hard to work for, but he's impossible to resist.

Sasha Sobieski has the perfect job working at legendary American fashion house Harrison Kingsley—or at least he used to. He just never thought he’d have to work for Harrison Kingsley himself. Harrison is exacting, difficult, cold, and hands-down the sexiest man Sasha has ever seen.

After years at the top, Harrison Kingsley knows what he wants, when he wants it, and exactly how he’d like it to be delivered to him. What he wants most right now? His new assistant. Sasha is mouthy, opinionated, and he drives Harrison mad. Problem is, Harrison can never tell if it’s with anger… or desire.

Un livre de la série Camp H.U.R.L.

Les Couples de la Lune existent, mais ils sont rares…

Adrian Rothschild n’ayant jamais atteint le stade de sa puberté de loup, il se croit humain, en quelque sorte. Ce n’est pas le cas et le voilà prêt à subir sa Transition avec huit ans de retard dans un État étranger, loin de sa meute, seul et terrorisé.

Le Dr Tate Lewis a vécu une Transition catastrophique sous la houlette son père, fanatique partisan de la libération totale de l’animalité du loup. Désormais autonome, Tate travaille au camp H.U.R.L., un centre dont le but est de faciliter la Transition des jeunes loups. Tate ne s’attendait pas à avoir un adulte parmi ses patients ni à se découvrir une très forte connexion avec Adrian. En vérité, Tate n’était même pas certain de croire à cette légende des Compagnons de Lune. Après tout, son père, qui pratiquait la polygamie, avait revendiqué cinq partenaires. Il n’en reste pas moins évident qu’Adrian a besoin de lui. Si Tate accepte de baisser sa garde, peut-être découvrira-t-il que lui aussi a besoin d’Adrian.

Un loup n’est complet qu’avec son alter-ego. Et Tate a déjà perdu tant de morceaux essentiels de son être !

Mais Adrian saura-t-il affronter le défi qu’il représente ?

La presse s’arrache le moindre scoop sur les deux talentueux héritiers de ces magnats de la restauration, les jeunes Beck Douglas et Duncan Walters.

Propriétaire d’un magasin de loisirs créatifs, Grant a toujours eu un faible pour les jolis visages, et c’est deux fois pire pour un joli visage avec un adorable acolyte. Quand Aubrey, sept ans, veut à tout prix participer à la série d’ateliers de fêtes déjà complets de Grant, il cède et abandonne son seul jour de congé par semaine pour qu’elle (et son tuteur canon, Josh) puisse avoir des cours particuliers. Le flirt entre eux monte en puissance semaine après semaine, et même si Josh n’est pas avec la mère d’Aubrey, Grant ne peut pas être sûr qu’il soit hétéro. Peut-être qu’il est simplement amical. Et Josh, qui n’est définitivement pas hétéro, craint d’être le type louche qui drague le professeur.

Frustrée par leur entêtement et leur ignorance, Aubrey prend les choses en main. Elle décide que le meilleur cadeau à offrir à Josh est quelque chose fait maison avec le cœur – un petit ami qu’ils aimeront tous les deux.

A story from the Dreamspinner Press 2017 Advent Calendar collection Stocking Stuffers.

Craft store owner Grant has always been a sucker for a pretty face, and that goes double for a pretty face with an adorable sidekick. When seven-year-old Aubrey has her heart set on taking Grant’s already-full holiday craft series, he caves and gives up his one day off a week so she (and her hot guardian, Josh) can take private lessons. Their flirting ramps up week after week, and even though Josh isn’t with Aubrey’s mother, Grant can’t be sure the man isn’t straight. Maybe he’s just being friendly. And Josh, who most definitely is not straight, is afraid of being the creepy guy hitting on the teacher.

Frustrated by their stubbornness and cluelessness, Aubrey takes matters into her own hands. She decides the best gift to give Josh is something homemade and from the heart—a boyfriend they’ll both love.
