Depuis que sa fiancée l'a quitté six semaines avant leur mariage, Dixon Mathews a renoncé à toute liaison durable. Il enchaine les rencontres éphémères et n'hésite pas à coucher avec les patientes qui fréquentent son cabinet de psychiatre. Mais alors qu'il pensait ne plus jamais éprouver d'intérêt durable pour elles, deux femmes vont croiser son chemin. Juliet est belle et toxique, addict au sexe. Madison est innocente et fragile. Une l'attire sexuellement, l'autre touche son âme et son coeur.

Dixon n'est peut-être pas le meilleur des hommes et il a ses faiblesses mais il sait qu'il doit choisir. Mais les choix les plus évidents ne sont pas toujours les meilleurs et la voie la plus simple peut parfois se compliquer.

Dixon va vite découvrir ce qu'il veut vraiment mais les erreurs du passé reviennent souvent hanter le présent.

C’est au cœur de deux familles ennemies de la Cité des Anges que se passe notre histoire...

London Sinclair était le garçon contre lequel ma mère m’avait mise en garde toute ma vie. Son nom à lui seul apportait honte et souffrance à ma famille. C’est donc tout naturellement qu’il est devenu mon ennemi juré dès notre première rencontre.

Avec son regard de braise et son sourire arrogant, toutes les filles sont sous son charme. Il me reste une année de cours avant de pouvoir partir et oublier ce qui me ronge.

Le seul garçon qui m’est totalement interdit me rend folle. Moi, Holland Ferris, je désire London, et je pense que c’est réciproque.

Certains pourraient comparer cela à une tragédie shakespearienne, puisque nos noms de famille ont scellé notre avenir, mais lorsqu’une nuit change ma vie pour toujours, je m’empresse de quitter la Cité des Anges.

Dix ans plus tard, j’ai expié mes péchés et je reviens à Los Angeles métamorphosée. Je suis rentrée pour me marier, mais à l’instant où London entre à nouveau dans ma vie, un constat s’impose. Dix années ne peuvent effacer cette nuit, cette unique nuit de péché où j’ai succombé à la tentation, parce que j’ai envie de recommencer.

Ici pas de happy end où le prince charmant vient sauver la princesse et ils vivent heureux à jamais... Ce prince charmant est mort. Et c’est moi qui l’ai tué.

Pendant douze longues années, je n’ai pensé qu’à une chose... La vengeance.

Il a suffi d’une nuit pour changer la vie de nombreuses personnes et m’apprendre que les monstres sont bien réels.

Mais j’ai aussi appris que j’étais le pire d’entre eux.

Ils étaient quatre. Ils m’ont tout pris. Aujourd’hui, il n’en reste plus que trois.

Ils peuvent bien s’enfuir, car, tôt ou tard, je les retrouverai. On ne m’appelle pas Bullseye sans raison. Et rien ni personne ne se mettra en travers de mon chemin. Pas même elle.

Elle, cette tigresse féroce.

Elle qui aurait le pouvoir de me briser le cœur (si j’en possédais encore un).

Mais ce monde n’est qu’une jungle, et nous ne sommes que des animaux, prêts à s’entre-tuer.

Description VO :

For twelve long years, I’ve breathed, I’ve bled for only one thing…

Revenge.

Four men took something from me, something which can never be replaced. That one night changed the lives of so many and taught me that monsters are real.

But I also learned I’m the biggest monster of them all.

Nothing and no one will stand in my way of redemption because those men…they’re now three. The fourth—he is the reason they call me Bullseye. They can run, but sooner or later, I’ll find them, just as I did with their friend. They’re already dead…they just don’t know it yet.

My plan was simple until I met her. A fierce tiger who had the power to break my heart. Lucky for me…she can’t break what’s already broken. I am no longer a man because the world is a jungle, and we’re all just animals—ready to tear one another apart.

Seule compte la vengeance.

À cinq ans, j’ai compris que les monstres étaient bien réels quand j’ai vu trois d’entre eux assassiner ma mère.

Je suis Puck Kelly et c’est ce nom qui l’a tuée, c’est à cause de lui que les Doyle s’en sont pris à elle.

Je n’ai pas choisi cette vie, j’y vois même une malédiction quand mon père parle d’héritage. Tout Belfast connaît ma famille et aujourd’hui, seize ans plus tard, tout Belfast me craint. Je n’ai ni sentiments, ni remords. La seule chose qui me fait vibrer, c’est la vengeance.

Jusqu’au jour où Babydoll entre dans mon monde pour y mettre le chaos. Menteuse et voleuse, elle et moi n’avons rien en commun hormis le fait que nous ne prospérons qu’au sein des ténèbres, le seul endroit où nos démons peuvent s’exprimer.

Là où se cachent les monstres. Là où je les traquerai. Là où je ferai couler leur sang.

I knew she was bad news when she walked into my office, but I just couldn’t help myself…

Filthy, sexy and full of surprises, Juliet is so hot she has me on fire. I’ve met my match and I can’t help going back for more.

Then there’s Madison… she’s sweet, funny and awakens in me a fierce need to protect her.

But I don’t do relationships. I don’t usually do the same woman twice.

Juliet and Madison: Two very different women have got me completely hooked.

Who will I choose?

I know who I should choose, but I never said I was the hero of this story, or even the good guy. And besides, who wants to be good, when it feels so good being bad?

My tale isn’t for the faint-hearted. If you’re game, strap yourself in and expect the unexpected. But don’t say I didn’t warn you…

Achingly sexy and highly addictive, Dirty Dix, the first in the Hard Love Romance series, will have you hooked. Wicked Dix coming soon…

I was kidnapped on my honeymoon by three masked men.

Blindfolded.

Bound.

Destination unknown.

I was told to stay silent and abide by their rules. But they didn’t realize I wasn’t a victim…not anymore.

The open sea was my backdrop for nine torturous days. During that time, glimmers of my fate were revealed by a man with the mysterious chartreuse-colored eyes. He should have scared me, but he didn’t.

He intrigued me. And I intrigued him.

He punished me when I didn’t listen, which was every single day. But beneath his cruelty, I sensed he was guarding a grave secret.

I was sold.

And in a game of poker, no less.

My buyer? A Russian mobster who likes to collect pretty things. Now that I know the truth, I only have one choice.

Sink or swim.

And when one fateful night presents me the opportunity, I take it. I just never anticipated my actions would leave me shipwrecked with my kidnapper.

He needs me alive. I want him dead.

But as days turn into weeks, one thing becomes clear—I should hate him…but I don’t.

My name is Willow.

His name is Saint.

Ironic, isn’t it? He bears a name that denotes nothing but holiness yet delivers nothing but hell. However, if this is hell on earth…God, save my soul.

Singapore has stolen a piece of Ava Thompson.

It took one life shattering moment for her to realize her ex-boyfriend is not the man she believed him to be. Returning home to Los Angeles was never going to be easy for Ava, as her heart has been shattered to smithereens and she's convinced it'll never heal. Or, so she thought.

Enter Jasper White.

Unbeknown to Ava, he will change her life forever.

The attraction is instantaneous, which troubles Ava, who has sworn off men indefinitely. Yet, she is finding resisting Jasper—with his tousled bedroom hair and piercing cerulean eyes—harder than she ever imagined. That's because Jasper knows what he wants … and he wants her.

Can Ava surrender to her feelings for the one man who compels her to love again? What happens if love isn't enough?

England is burning.

And the cause…men are too afraid to utter in nothing but a whisper.

The Northmen.

My father is King Eanred.

And me?

I am Princess Emeline.

My father wants to protect our kingdom against the ruthless Vikings who continue to raid England, so he has betrothed me to Aethelwulf, the son of King Egbert of Wessex—the most powerful realm in all of England. Without this union, Northumbria will fall, which is why I must submit. I must do this for my people.

However, it is not in my nature to surrender. So when my father captures the most savage Viking known in our land, I do what no good, God-fearing Christian would do—I help him.

His name…Skarth the Godless.

People fear what they don’t understand, but I will not allow that to control me. Fear makes us blind to the truth, and I refuse to cower because Skarth soon becomes my teacher—in all things. And when his rival, Ulf the Bloody, shatters my world, it becomes clear the lessons have only just begun.

My soul is tarnished.

I am a sinner.

Lord, hear my prayer…

My name is Lucy Tucker, and my life…it was perfect.

I worked the dream job. I had the most incredible family and friends. My home, Whispering Willows, a ranch in Montana, was everything I could ever wish for. My adoring fiancé, Samuel Stone, loved me unconditionally.

I had everything a girl could ever want.

But one fateful event shattered my perfect life. It’s unimaginable how simple, ordinary words can change a person’s life forever. For me those words were, “There’s been an accident.”

I thought Sam was my forever, but that forever came to a close the day Saxon Stone, Sam’s identical twin brother, came back. Saxon returned to Montana to help save Sam, however, the moment he entered my life, he turned my world upside down. But through chaos I somehow found clarity—clarity of who I was meant to be.

As time progressed, as seasons changed, and as a fire began to burn, I soon realized that Saxon was there for another reason…he was there to help save me.

Traduction faite par Games Of Books :

"Je m'appelle Lucy Tucker, et ma vie...elle était parfaite.

J'avais le job de mes rêves. J'avais les plus incroyables famille et amis. Ma maison Whispering Willows, un ranch dans le Montana, était tout ce que j’aurais pu souhaiter. Mon fiancé, Samuel Stone, m'adorait inconditionnellement.

J'avais tout ce dont une fille pouvait rêver.

Mais un événement fatal a brisé ma vie parfaite. C'est inimaginable comment de simples mots ordinaires peuvent changer la vie d'une personne pour toujours. Pour moi ces mots étaient, "Il y a eu un accident."

Je pensais que Sam serait là pour toujours, mais ce toujours s'est terminé le jour où Saxon Stone, le frère jumeau de Sam, est revenu. Saxon est retourné dans le Montana pour aider à sauver Sam, toutefois, au moment où il est entré dans ma vie, il a retourné mon monde à l'envers.

Mais à travers le chaos, j'ai en quelque sorte trouvé la clarté - la clarté de qui j'étais censée être.

Au fur et à mesure que le temps à passé, que les saisons ont changé et qu'un feu a commencé à brûler, je me suis vite rendue compte que Saxon était là pour une autre raison...il était là pour me sauver."

My name is Rev.

I like long walks on the beach.

A neat scotch.

And I like stealing from rich losers who have no idea the town’s Big Bad Wolf screwed their wives six ways to Sunday.

Such a scandal, indeed.

I have one end goal—to get out of this town.

I’m a loner. And that’s by choice.

People aren’t really my thing. That is…until I meet her. The little firecracker who sets more than my soul on fire.

No one has ever stuck around.

But Darcie is different. She seems to be as broken as me, and when our worlds collide, nothing but trouble looms.

Watch out, baby…down the rabbit hole we go.

Mia Lee has a secret…

A secret she’s kept hidden since she was eight years old, however, Mia will no longer allow that secret to define her.

An irrevocable decision has left Mia Lee a fugitive and on the run—a circumstance that should leave her weak and scared, yet Mia has never felt so alive.

Under the pseudonym of Paige Cassidy, Mia is ready to live the life she’s never had, and she’s determined not to allow her tainted past dictate her promising future.

Paige is on a Greyhound bus heading from L.A. to South Boston, Virginia, to start a new life. A life that includes finding her mother, who abandoned her at age three. But what she finds, is four people, who will change her life forever.

Yet no one can outrun their past…

Especially one filled with bitter memories, which refuse to remain hidden.

I was feared.

Respected.

Worshiped.

But all of that changed when the impossible happened—I fell in love. Only those feelings weren’t reciprocated, because who could love a monster like me?

My empire crumbled. People died. I went from being a victorious leader to lurking in the shadows, planning revenge on my half-brother who now reigns in my place.

An orphanage is where I find sanctuary, but when she walks into my world and evokes a yearning I thought long dead, my demons are awakened and want what they can’t have—her. Sooner or later, I knew I’d need to feed the darkness inside me.

Mayhem, power, and control course through my veins. I will use them to regain my crown, my throne, and then claim her, despite what solemn vows she might’ve made.

I will break them…and her.

***This is a "All The Pretty Things" Trilogy Spin-Off.

Once upon a time, there lived a best-selling author who wrote about the miracle of true love and finding your forever soul mate. And that was thanks to Elizabeth. His muse…his one and only…his soon to be ex-wife.

It’s been six months since the love of his life tore out his heart and set it on fire, and because of this, the “author” hasn’t written a single word—his mind is drier than the Sahara Desert.

That unfortunate fool? That’s me.

My name is Jayden Evans or, as my readers know me, J.E. Sparrow. I’m one of the world’s most adored authors, but now, the only thing beloved is a bottle of whiskey and the unspeakable nasties I somehow find myself in.

But this life of depravity is growing old fast. I need a change. And that comes when I meet Carrie Bell—the woman who stirs something in me I thought long dead.

From the moment we met, I knew she was different. Could she be the one to end this drought? I suppose there is only one way to find out.

Paris. Two strangers in the city of love. What can go wrong?

Ce livre a tous les ingrédients parfaits pour la romance contemporaine. J’ai trouvé les personnages très sympathiques et j’ai adoré la façon dont la romance est développée dans l’histoire. – Olga Therebelreader de GOODREADS

To the outside world, my life is perfect.

I’m young and rich, and some may even say I’m beautiful. But I would give anything to be somebody else because after being extraordinary all my life, all I wish for is…silence.

My name is Lola Van Allen, and there’s no easy way to say it, but…I’m dying.

When my doctors reveal all hope is lost, I decide to spend the time I have left sharing my experience at Strawberry Fields, a summer camp for terminally ill children. No matter my fate, I yearn to make a difference.

Things are quiet and slow-moving until I meet him.

Dr. Roman Archibald.

From the moment our lives entwine, he pushes me until breaking point. But for someone who has nothing left to lose, I push back twice as hard. Roman challenges me in ways I never imagined, revealing things aren’t always what they seem.

This is my story…and how I got a second chance at life.

“Victoria, will you marry me?”

Those words changed my life forever…just not in the way it would for most. I had it all until one fateful evening transformed my life in ways I never imagined.

Nine months later, I move to a sleepy little town, hoping to escape the demons of my past. As I attempt to claim back my life, Jude Montgomery enters my world, and things begin to change.

I thought running would appease the nightmares, but I soon discover my past won’t let go. Things are not what they seem, and I begin to question the world as I know it. Jude may hold the answers, but will my love for him blind me to the truth?

Does the flap of a butterfly’s wings in Brazil set off a tornado in Texas? In my case, yes, it does.

Will the truth set me free? Or will it imprison us both?

My name is Victoria Armstrong, and this is my story…I think.

My name is Peyton Lane, and I have no idea who I am.

Six months ago, I woke from a coma with no recollection of anybody, anything.

My family tells me that I’m a good woman, that I’m loved. It seems I’ve lived a full, rewarding life, but I would give all of it up in a heartbeat to remember who I was.

My mind is a blank slate. Every moment in time wiped clean.

But there is one thing I can remember, something I haven’t dared to tell anyone about—a mysterious oak tree, a red ribbon, and a vision of drowning.

I know the answers I seek lie buried at the bottom of a lake. And that’s why I’m here in South Carolina. The memory I have is something I witnessed…

So I wonder what it would feel like to remember…remember who I was, but more importantly, remember what I did.
