Twenty-one-year-old Blythe is completely alone and going through the worst couple of months of her life, that is until her twenty-six-year-old step brother, Gage comes back into her life after living and working in Philadelphia for the past couple of years. Gage is smart, inconceivably attractive, intriguing and completely off limits. Yet he enthralls Blythe in ways that she has been attempting to ignore since she first laid eyes on him when she was just twelve years old. Although they lived under the same roof for one year before Gage took off to college, Blythe knows relatively little about him since he'd only drop by for visits a couple of times a year and they rarely ever engaged in meaningful conversation. As the days go by, Blythe is unable to shake her growing attraction toward her step brother or the emotions that begin to kindle between the two of them. She buries herself in a relationship with her childhood friend Adam, who has been in love with her since they were teenagers. But Blythe is unable to obliterate Gage from her brain because no other man has ever come close to making her feel what Gage ignites in her. She knows that the thought of Gage feeling anything toward her is completely senseless and absurd - primarily because he is engaged to be married - or is it? Will Blythe keep her feelings for her stepbrother hidden away or will she decide to give into something that she truly wants and desperately needs?

After an unexpected ceiling collapse sends her apartment into chaos, Madelaine Grayson ends up living with her brother - and dangerously close to his tattooed, way-too-charming roommate. He's off-limits... but resisting him might be impossible. *** When Madelaine Grayson's bathroom ceiling caves in, it's not just drywall that crumbles. It's her entire world. Forced to move in with her brother, she finds herself swept up in the chaos of his new protective attitude - especially when it comes to his tattooed roommate, Noah Laurier. Noah is the epitome of perfection: sweet, hot, and embedded into every thought Madelaine has. But he's forbidden, and the closer she gets, the harder he is to resist. Well... what her brother doesn't know can't hurt him, right? *** "Matt's sister, I presume?" He walks towards the couch and my eyes widen. He's tall. I thought I was tall but this man could tower me, and when he reaches a hand towards me, there's an intricate clock tattooed on the back of his hand and his fingers have bones tattooed over them. This man is not human. He's tall and angular and dripping with sex appeal. This man is hot. Capital H, capital O, capital T. I don't think I've ever seen a human being so attractive. All I can think about as I force myself to keep my eyes on the screen is the feel of his jaw beneath my hand, and it takes everything in me not to look back at him.

Despite the unshakable attraction between them, Maeve and Lucian are uninterested in love and marriage; especially since they hate one another and couldn't think of a worse match. • • • London, 1815 Maeve Langston's aversion to the opposite sex has given her the reputation of being an insufferable wench, so men have learned to stay away from her. Lucian Thorne, Baron Worthington, has become somewhat of a cynical hermit since his return from the Napoleonic wars, injured and disgruntled. When the two meet, they rapidly learn to despise each other. She appears to be a narcissistic brat, and he keeps acting like a pompous arse. Lucian wants nothing more than to stay away from Maeve, but his best friend has his eyes set on her for marriage. He has no choice but to show him the dreadful harpy that lies beneath the lovely facade. However, the more time they spend in each other's presence, the clearer it becomes that first impressions can be wrong. Between their unexpected similarities and the sparks that fly every time they meet, what started as hatred slowly shifts into something different. Something both of them will find much more dangerous. • • • This is the second installment of the Langston Series. Although I advise you to read the first one first (The Prince and the Spitfire), it can be read as a standalone.
