"They may see you as how you try to be, but what I see is what you try not to be." SHE IS A BASTARD... Maxine Theobald hid from the rest of society to protect her father's name. But as she grows tired of her role-playing games every year during the famous Theobald weekend parties, she starts to question how she has been living her life. She starts to wonder about the other part of her that she was deprived of--her mother and why she left her. A DISGUISE... Having finally found the courage to search for the one thing that she believes can help her understand her true nature, Maxine cuts her hair, puts on her breeches, and runs away from the only home she has ever known. She travels to the affluent town of Wickhurst and found herself employed as the valet of the famous rake Nicholas Everard, a game she will later find to be quite dangerous. SOMETHING DIFFERENT... Maxine set out into an adventure with none but one goal, yet found herself stumbling upon an unlikely find for the search of something else--romance. Still set in the fictional place of the Town, this fifth book in the Everard Family series follows one heroine who has chosen to defy the norm and her own fears in an attempt to understand her own nature, the first step to a discovery of not just about her lineage, but of love so unexpectedly, irritatingly and undeniably powerful. (This story is a standalone title in the Everard Family series.)

"Come to sit on my lap again?" • • • It's that time of the year again, and people are all waiting for Santa to come by with their presents. Hazel is living a humdrum life in her small hometown, doing nothing in particular when a certain Santa Claus asks her if she wants to sit on his lap. Brown eyes, chocolate hair and abs carved like stone, Nick is nothing like the traditional Santa you know, yet he still straps on the beard and red suit. In town for just the season, Hazel slowly discovers there's more to Nick Saint than what meets the eye. Peeling back one layer at a time (like a Christmas present) she uncovers what truly lies beneath that red suit of his and finds herself in shock at the result. As the saying goes... Santa smirks because he knows where all the naughty girls live... And he was smirking at Hazel.

This is the ENGLISH VERSION of TAKING WHAT'S RIGHTFULLY HIS! "You're planning on leaving me again? Tell me, is that really how you see me? That after we made love last night, you would just go and leave me like nothing happened?" she looked down while trying her best not to let the tears that were threatening to fall from her eyes. "Answer me, damn it!" He said in a thunderous voice. She got startled because of his loud voice but she couldn't help but to feel resentful towards him. Why was he acting as if she was the one who did something terrible to him? She pushed him away from her. "Yes! I am planning on leaving this house because I can't stay here with you!" He looked at her with disbelief and....pain? "Why?" "Because-" she wanted to speak and tell his resentment towards him; all of the things that she's been keeping inside all time but nothing came out of her lips. "What? You can't say anything? Admit it Gaelle! You still love me but you can't accept that fact that's why you're leaving! You're leaving because you're a coward!" her tears fell. She couldn't stop them. Why is this happening to her? Why do they have to meet again after all this time? "That's not true!" She tried to sound stern and brave as she met his gaze. He smirked and stared at her intently like he wanted her to melt under his heated gaze. "I know you very well, chérie. I know it's still me and no one else. The way you made love to me last night told me so" she couldn't accept what he was saying. Her brain was against it. "Don't call me that! I hate you! I f*cking hate you!" She yelled and hit his chest with her fists. "I told you before, chérie; you're mine and always be mine. No matter what you do, it's still me, Gaelle! Only me!" he hissed and then claimed her lips for a punishing kiss. Highest rank in romance #17
