One mistake could cost him everything

Branded a cheater and breaker of hearts, Sebastian Collins’ glittering career as a pro-tennis player is almost over – thanks to an ex-fiancé set on revenge. His jet set lifestyle is cut short when his manager insists he return to London and salvage what’s left of his reputation.

Scandal is a shadow she can’t outrun

Being the disappointing daughter of a respected and powerful Earl has left Alicia Simpson broken in more ways than one. But she’s determined to change – whatever the cost. Not even her new client, the sexy bad boy tennis player, can hold her back. At least that’s what she thinks until she gets to know the man beneath the charm &amp;amp;amp;amp; her own life is turned upside down.

Payback is brutal

Neither anticipate the bitterness of a &amp;amp;amp;nbsp;woman scorned, or how ruthless a father can be when he will stop at nothing to make sure his family name remains untarnished – even if that means destroying the people he’s supposed to love.All Rights Reserved

Unexpected by Mrs_Write

For recent law school grad Charlotte Maxwell, real life has never been so good. On a post-graduation vacation with her best friend, the last thing Charlie is thinking about is meeting anyone: all she's looking to do is eat, drink, and get some sun (although not necessarily in that order). After three stressful years of focusing on school, Charlie's long overdue for some relaxation and she intends on maximizing every moment of this trip...by doing absolutely nothing. What she doesn't expect on her perfect vacation is to meet the perfect guy. Alex is smart, funny, and handsome. Despite their different backgrounds - Charlie is from a Midwestern middle class family while Alex is a wealthy Brit - their chemistry is undeniable. Charlie's not exactly the vacation fling kind of girl, but figures she can make an exception in Alex's case. But is Alex really too good to be true? What if the only souvenir Charlie brings back from her vacation is a broken heart? xoxo Steph
