An absolute deception
Known as 'The Ice Queen', Anneliese Zander de St Phalle is one of the world's most celebrated fashion designers. With an empire that stretches across continents, she's a truly global brand, in every sense. Yet despite her success, she's a mystery; a reclusive disciplined perfectionist who rarely grants interviews. She's successful and she's talented, and that's all anyone needs to know. Anneliese never talks about her past - not even to her only daughter, Callan. She's worked hard to leave it all behind her and it's a time and place to which Anneliese will never return. Or so she thinks. Until, at an exclusive New Year's Eve party at her glamorous island hideaway, a woman appears whom Anneliese has done her best to forget. On the cusp of her retirement, at the height of Anneliese' fame, the stranger brings a story that demands to be told. To Anneliese' horror, the past cannot be left behind; it is here, part and parcel of the present, despite everything she's done to forget it ...

Španielsky ľúbostný podvod
Má tri dni, aby presvedčila rodinu, že je po uši zaľúbená
Catalina Martínová zúfalo hľadá partnera na sestrinu svadbu. Môže si za to sama, keďže si vymyslela historku o americkom priateľovi a klamstvo sa jej teraz vypomstilo. Pozvaní sú všetci známi – vrátane bývalého priateľa so snúbenicou, a priam horia nedočkavosťou, kedy im partnera predstaví. Catalina má len štyri týždne na to, aby našla obetného baránka, ochotného preletieť Atlantický oceán a pomôcť jej v podvode. Z New Yorku do Španielska to nie je krátky let a svoju rodinu až tak ľahko neoklame... Keď sa na túto úlohu ponúkne kolega Aaron Blackford, vysoký modrooký svalovec, ktorý Cataline hrozne lezie na nervy, odmietne. Veď nepozná otravnejšieho, dotieravejšieho a neznesiteľnejšieho chlapa, ako je on. Lenže čas letí a ukazuje sa, že Aaron možno nie je najhoršia možnosť, najmä ak je jediná.

Kingdom of the Cursed
One sister. Two sinful princes. Infinite deception with a side of revenge . . . Welcome to Hell.
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author Kerri Maniscalco comes the sizzling and sweepingly romantic sequel to Kingdom of the Wicked.
With the enigmatic Prince of Wrath at her side, Emilia sold her soul to become Queen of the Wicked and travelled to the Seven Circles to fulfil her vow of avenging her beloved sister.
But the first rule in the court of the Wicked? Trust no one. And it quickly becomes clear that nothing in Hell is what it seems. Even Wrath, her onetime ally, may be keeping secrets about his true nature. But that suits Emilia just fine - she's got secrets of her own.
Faced with backstabbing courtiers, princes who delight in fear, luxurious palaces, dazzling galas, and conflicting clues about what truly happened to her sister, Emilia finds herself on a mission to unlock the mysteries of her own past and uncover the answers she craves.
As long as her sins don't catch up to her first . . .
The American Roommate Experiment
From the author of the Goodreads Choice Award winner The Spanish Love Deception, the eagerly anticipated follow-up featuring Rosie Graham and Lucas Martin, who are forced to share a New York apartment.
Rosie Graham has a problem. A few, actually. She just quit her well paid job to focus on her secret career as a romance writer. She hasn't told her family and now has terrible writer's block. Then, the ceiling of her New York apartment literally crumbles on her. Luckily she has her best friend Lina's spare key while she's out of town. But Rosie doesn't know that Lina has already lent her apartment to her cousin Lucas, who Rosie has been stalking-for lack of a better word-on Instagram for the last few months. Lucas seems intent on coming to her rescue like a Spanish knight in shining armour. Only this one strolls around the place in a towel, has a distracting grin, and an irresistible accent. Oh, and he cooks.
Lucas offers to let Rosie stay with him, at least until she can find some affordable temporary housing. And then he proposes an outrageous experiment to bring back her literary muse and meet her deadline: He'll take her on a series of experimental dates meant to jump-start her romantic inspiration. Rosie has nothing to lose. Her silly, online crush is totally under control-but Lucas's time in New York has an expiration date, and six weeks may not be enough, for either her or her deadline.
