Product: Tempting the Enemy: An Enemies-to-Lovers Forbidden Romance: A Steamy Romance Series (Medical Heart Throb Series Book 3)
Description: It’s just a one-night stand with my worst enemy. Nothing can go wrong, right?

Three things I absolutely despise in this world:

✓Bugs

✓Snakes

✓Dr. Nicholas Torres.

Put that womanizing jerk at the top of the list.

The arrogant prick almost ended my career. On purpose. After what he did, there’s no forgiveness.

On a drunken girls’ night out, I make a bet with my friends. A stupid bet, that I’ll seduce the next single guy to walk through the door.

I didn’t see it coming, when the daring act rips the world from beneath me.

The devil himself couldn’t plan a worse misery.

The moment Nicholas enters the bar, with a panty-melting smile that fills me with need, I know it.

I know what that means.

I’m in trouble. Real, deep trouble.

As much as I want to, I can’t deny that Nicholas has aged like fine wine. A body made for sin. Golden eyes with enough heat to set my body on fire.

I still hate his guts, but I want to bring him to his knees, to get my revenge. To ruin him like he did me.

So, I take a bite of the forbidden fruit. Hell, I devour it.

And it’s the worst decision I’ve ever made. Because it leaves me hopelessly in danger of losing myself to him.

Only I won’t, right?

Short, sweet and steamy, HEA, no cheating.
TEMPTING THE ENEMY is book three of the Medical Heart-throb series.

Book One- The Secret Baby

Book Two- The Seductive Virgin

Each book is a stand-alone and the books can be read in any order.
Enjoy!

Description: Rune
What kind of crazy person doesn’t read? Apparently my new neighbour. She’s loud, sassy, flirty and infuriatingly, annoyingly cheerful.

And a non-reader. The worst kind of human.

So why is that when I dare her to enter the charity read-a-thon, I suddenly find myself carefully curating her list?

And those books… they’re definitely not your momma’s romance.

Gabby
I’m used to people underestimating me. Normally I can brush it off with a laugh. But Rune? He gets under my skin.

So when he make an off-handed comment that a non-reader like me shouldn’t bother with the town’s charity event, I can’t help but accept the challenge.

Only these books are not what I remember from the school book list. Not. Even. Close.

And Rune? Well I’m beginning to see him in a new light.

Or, should I say, hear him?

Warning: This sexy little number is inspired by hot books, men who read, and a slight exhibitionist tease. Get thee a man who knows how to handle you between the covers, and settle in — this steamy read will have you begging for more.

You Belong With Me
I thought I had everything. Turns out, I was missing the most important thing of all.
Hi, my name is Chris, and I am a commitment-phobe.
My family thinks I need help, that I should speak to a professional, but really, my life is pretty amazing.
I don’t need to work out my issue because there isn’t one.
I have it all - money, cars, houses, and gorgeous women who constantly throw themselves at me.
What guy in his right mind would want a relationship noose tugged tight around his neck when he could be me?
But when Mia Bradshaw, the sexy former basketball superstar turned investment guru, shows up across a conference room table from me with her sharp tongue and mind-bending body, the universe does a crazy thing.
It turns me into that guy.

Not Over You
Be careful what you wish for…
The world thinks I’m living my best life. A red carpet glam one with designer gowns, fast cars, and success beyond my wildest dreams.
But my true story has a very different plot, one with lots of twists and turns into deep, dark places.
All because of one man and one devastating decision.
It was a story I’d never told, one that needed to be shared. So I wrote it because Paul Emerson, my arch nemesis, deserved to be taken down after what he did.
And then something crazy happened.
It became a New York Times bestseller.
But in my quest for closure, there was one thing I didn’t count on.
Falling for my mortal enemy, whose life is about to be crushed by me.
Isn’t karma a b*tch?

Just Say Yes
I thought my life was chaos. And then I met her.
The son of a well-known politician making a run for President cannot be caught on YouTube having a threesome.
Screw that. I don’t play by his rules. I play against them as often as I can since I’m not the one running for office and wild nights are always on my personal domestic agenda.
But when those wild nights began to star one certain atomic blonde by the name of Lisa Embry, I should have read the flashing red sign to stay the hell away.
I didn’t.
A plummeting elevator, a near-broken nose, and a tangle with a knife-wielding lunatic should have sent me running. Instead, I came back for more.
I don’t know who she is or what she’s hiding, but I’m going to find out, even if it kills me.
And judging from our past run-ins, it just might.

Before You Go
I did the thing you’re never supposed to do.
Twelve years ago, I saved Hunter McKinnon’s life and we were bonded forever. I never thought that the quiet, brooding kid who moved in next door would become the hottest guy on our college campus and a magnet for every bleached blonde, big-boobed co-ed with daddy issues.

Product: The Lions of Fifth Avenue: A Novel
Description: A Good Morning America Book Club Pick and a New York Times bestseller!

“A page-turner for booklovers everywhere! . . . A story of family ties, their lost dreams, and the redemption that comes from discovering truth.”—Adriana Trigiani, bestselling author of The Shoemaker's Wife
In New York Times bestselling author Fiona Davis's latest historical novel, a series of book thefts roils the iconic New York Public Library, leaving two generations of strong-willed women to pick up the pieces.
It's 1913, and on the surface, Laura Lyons couldn't ask for more out of life—her husband is the superintendent of the New York Public Library, allowing their family to live in an apartment within the grand building, and they are blessed with two children. But headstrong, passionate Laura wants more, and when she takes a leap of faith and applies to the Columbia Journalism School, her world is cracked wide open. As her studies take her all over the city, she is drawn to Greenwich Village's new bohemia, where she discovers the Heterodoxy Club—a radical, all-female group in which women are encouraged to loudly share their opinions on suffrage, birth control, and women's rights. Soon, Laura finds herself questioning her traditional role as wife and mother. And when valuable books are stolen back at the library, threatening the home and institution she loves, she's forced to confront her shifting priorities head on . . . and may just lose everything in the process.
Eighty years later, in 1993, Sadie Donovan struggles with the legacy of her grandmother, the famous essayist Laura Lyons, especially after she's wrangled her dream job as a curator at the New York Public Library. But the job quickly becomes a nightmare when rare manuscripts, notes, and books for the exhibit Sadie's running begin disappearing from the library's famous Berg Collection. Determined to save both the exhibit and her career, the typically risk-averse Sadie teams up with a private security expert to uncover the culprit. However, things unexpectedly become personal when the investigation leads Sadie to some unwelcome truths about her own family heritage—truths that shed new light on the biggest tragedy in the library's history.

Product: Horse Crazy: The Story of a Woman and a World in Love with an Animal
Description: ONE OF USA TODAY'S “20 SUMMER BOOKS YOU WON'T WANT TO MISS”

In the bestselling tradition of works by such authors as Susan Orlean and Mary Roach, a New York Times reporter and Pulitzer Prize finalist explores why so many people—including herself—are obsessed with horses.
It may surprise you to learn that there are over seven million horses in America—even more than when they were the only means of transportation—and nearly two million horse owners. Acclaimed journalist and avid equestrian Sarah Maslin Nir is one of them; she began riding horses when she was just two years old and hasn’t stopped since. Horse Crazy is a fascinating, funny, and moving love letter to these graceful animals and the people who—like her—are obsessed with them. It is also a coming-of-age story of Nir growing up an outsider within the world’s most elite inner circles, and finding her true north in horses.

Nir takes readers into the lesser-known corners of the riding world and profiles some of its most captivating figures. We meet Monty Roberts, the California trainer whose prowess earned him the nickname “the man who listens to horses,” and his pet deer; George and Ann Blair, who at their riding academy on a tiny island in Manhattan’s Harlem River seek to resurrect the erased legacy of the African American cowboy; and Francesca Kelly, whose love for an Indian nobleman shaped her life’s mission: to protect an endangered Indian breed of horse and bring them to America.

Woven into these compelling character studies, Nir shares her own moving personal narrative. She details her father’s harrowing tale of surviving the Holocaust, and describes an enchanted but deeply lonely upbringing in Manhattan, where horses became her family. She found them even in the middle of the city, in a stable disguised in an old townhouse and in Central Park, when she chased down truants as an auxiliary mounted patrol officer. And she speaks candidly of how horses have helped her overcome heartbreak and loss.

Infused with heart and wit, and with each chapter named after a horse Nir has loved, Horse Crazy is an unforgettable blend of beautifully written memoir and first-rate reporting.
