Love is a scorching trail she's afraid to follow... *** Star Matthews knows what she wants in life: everything that her current one isn't. She made tough decisions to get to where she is now and the last thing she wants is the beautiful complication that is Julian Wilde, Prescott University's most notorious playboy who just happened to be proving his reputation to her roommate when Star first met him. Thrown together every day in close proximity, Star fights her distracting attraction to Julian who insists that there's more to her than what she shows the world, and that he wants it, all of it, the good, the bad, the beautiful and the broken. When her sins come to light, proving she is no bright star after all, will Julian stand by her side or will he walk away before she can burn him heart and soul? *** Copyright © 2015 by Nina Tippett.

On the heels of their marriage, Vincent and Reese's bond, not to mention their steamy sex life, is tested when a supernatural power threatens to derail everything they've done to overcome their differences. ***** One might call the pairing of Reese Kentwell and Vincent Valentino a match made in heaven, but they'd be wrong. After only three months of their passionate affair, the battle is just beginning when a reclusive collector appears on the scene. Dmitry Stepanov is not who he claims to be, other than diabolical and nuts. He's after something that belongs to Vincent - a rare artifact with the power to resurrect the dead. But he's also after something even more priceless; a supernatural being who possesses the eternal flame. And Vincent will do everything in his power to keep this nutter away from his precious. In book three of the Stone In Love series, we rejoin our gargoyle soul-mates as they battle a mutual foe, and things get a little heated in the process. Belly Of The Beast will reaffirm your belief that love conquers all, and a little goddess magic doesn't hurt either. DISCLAIMER: This piece is in need of a solid edit.

"A love not shown is more painful than a love rejected." SHE IS DETERMINED... The town of Wickhurst sees Ysabella Everard as a spoiled, rich young girl. What Ysa believes on the other hand is that she will someday get the man of her dreams and that is no other than the elusive rake William Hayward, the Lord of Wakefield. He also happens to be her brother's friend and the man she had been secretly writing letters to for years as Lady Weis, letters that started in a foolish wager with a friend. But one problem is at hand: he does not know she is Lady Weis, the woman he has fallen in love with, in letters. HE AVOIDS HER AT ALL COST... Wakefield has many rules, but one stands out the most: never dally with a friend's sister or relative, most particularly Ysabella Everard. As the sister of his friend, she is not to be touched at all costs. She has never been on his list from day one and he is quite determined to keep it that way. But years of her obsessive chasing and his desperate attempts to avoid it have not tired the woman at all. She has suitors she ought to focus her attention on and Wakefield cannot understand what she sees in him to waste her precious time over. He cannot be with her for many reasons and one of them was the fact that he was utterly in love, for the first time in his life, with one woman: Lady Weis. THE CHASE BEGINS... Her chase for the man she loves continues. His chase for the identity of the woman he is willing to sacrifice everything for begins. It is merely a matter of time for the truth to be revealed and how they face it has great potential for yet another Wickhurst scandal. Still set in the fictional place of the Town, this fourth book in the Everard Family series follows one heroine who is determined to win her game and her love for the man who might very well be her first ever failure. (This story is a standalone title in the Everard Family series.)
