Zrazu sa pristihne pri tom, že si ju púšťa nielen bližšie k telu, ale aj do svojej duše...

Not in My Book
Rosie Maxwell has a plan: move to New York, get her creative writing degree from NYU, become a bestselling romance writer. But that plan is derailed when she ends up in class with her archnemesis and ex-crush, Aiden Huntington, an obnoxious, surly, unreasonably gorgeous literary fiction writer who has no patience for romance – or for Rosie.
Exhausted by Rosie and Aiden’s constant verbal sparring, their professor gives them an ultimatum: leave her class, or cowrite a novel that blends their respective genres.
As Rosie and Aiden collaborate on their (accidentally steamy) novel, they try to put their differences aside. Could their manuscript-in-progress be just the outlet they need to confess their feelings – and explore their mutual attraction?
But a potentially career-changing opportunity soon reignites the flames of their old rivalry. Rosie and Aiden’s once-in-a-lifetime love story is once again at risk of being shelved – unless they can find a way to end the book on their own terms . . .
Brooklyn - Srdcoví králi
„...Pripomína mi zlého kráľa z rozprávky. Panovačného, tajomného, krutého i charizmatického. Takého, ktorý vám opantá myseľ sľubmi, pohladí dušu sladkými rečami a uväzní srdce do neľútostných dlaní. Toho, ktorý je plný sebeckých úmyslov a spraví všetko pre to, aby o vás nikdy neprišiel…
A nemýlila som sa!“

Obaja králi ju však chceli mať len pre seba, a tak vzali jej osud do svojich rúk a prinútili ju vybrať si len jedného z nich.
No srdce sa nedá rozpoliť a láska k nim sa jej stala osudnou. Spadla do pasce, z ktorej sa nedokáže vyslobodiť.
Podarí sa jej nakoniec uniknúť zo zajatia zlých kráľov? Alebo na ňu čaká oveľa väčšia hrozba ako je láska k dvom mužom?
Ponorte sa do pokračovania druhého dielu úspešného románu, ktorý rozuzlí všetky otázky a vyústi do prekvapivého a nepredvídateľného konca.
Dvaja králi. Jedno srdce. Kto ho získa?
Nečakaný zvrat
Treba si užívať, kým to osud nezariadi inak
Odkedy lekári oznámili starej mame, že jej neostáva veľa času, akoby sa utrhla z reťaze. Začala cestovať a skúšať všetko možné aj nemožné – zoskok padákom, plávanie so žralokmi. Dohováral som jej, nech zbytočne neriskuje, a tak si ma zablokovala. Vlastného vnuka! Nechala mi iba kontakt na svoju kamarátku Eleanor, ktorá ju na výletoch sprevádzala. Sprvu sa mi v správach javila milá, no keď som naliehal, aby babke prehovorila do duše, poslala ma kadeľahšie. Len čo som sa dopočul o ich ďalšom bláznovstve, nasadol som do lietadla. Do hotela som dorazil až večer, a tak som zamieril rovno do baru. Tam som sa zoznámil s Norou, úžasnou ženou, ktorá hľadala nezáväzný vzťah. Pozvala ma k sebe do izby, mal som za ňou prísť o desať minút. No pri platení jej účtu som zistil, koľko alkoholu vypila. Zachoval som sa ako džentlmen a nešiel za ňou, hoci som ju tým urazil. Rátal som aj s možnosťou, že ju už nikdy neuvidím. Omyl! Z krásnej Nory sa vykľula babkina parťáčka Eleanor. Ak som si dovtedy myslel, že ma tá ženská neznáša, bol to len slabý odvar.
