Languages : en
Pages : 335
Book Description
Edric All things get difficult before they get easy. Fourteen years ago, my ex-best friend read those exact words to me. But long past are the days when I couldn’t read, and so are the days when I had Rylan Rhimes in my life. That is… until I sign a contract to take his life. I’m a hitman. He’s a special agent of the FBI. We couldn’t be more opposite than a unicorn is to a dragon. But that doesn’t stop me from taking whatever he’s willing to give. Building trust and a long-lost friendship could come at a cost, but it’s a risk I’m willing to take. Because if there were ever one person I couldn’t resist, it would be Rylan Rimes. Rylan He is the last person I thought I’d see standing in my bedroom—of all places—and the sight of him takes my breath away. I broke our friendship with a hard kick out the door, and I’ve regretted it ever since. Years later, he’s back with a gift that has my name printed neatly at the top. Sweet dreams become a reality, but so do the nightmares. As our worlds collide, so do we—in and out of bed. It’s everything I’ve ever wanted. The only question is… can I put our differences aside to be with the one person I care about the most?

When He Protects
Author: Cynthia Eden
Publisher: Hocus Pocus Publishing, Inc.
ISBN: 1965259022
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 324
Book Description
He knew she was trouble from the moment they met. Esme Laurent is a con artist. An accomplished liar. A world-class thief. And probably the most beautiful and intriguing woman that Tyler Barrett has ever met. Sure, he has to arrest her at their first meeting, and she absolutely hates him, but…well, he has a job to do. And Tyler always gets the job done. Turns out, she is the new job. The people in charge want to use Esme to bring down a very dangerous criminal operation. And in order to do that, Esme has to stay in the land of the living. She needs protection, she needs a new identity, and she needs to disappear, immediately. Because Esme has more than a bit of power, she makes her own deal…her protection needs to come in the ever-so-gorgeous, ever-so-dangerous, and ever-so-law-abiding form of U.S. Marshal Tyler Barrett. They’ll disappear into Small Town, USA. And they’ll pretend to be newlyweds who just can’t keep their hands off each other. No, absolutely, this cannot be happening. But no matter how much Tyler protests, the new job is, in fact, happening. He’s being sent to Asylum, Alabama, with the delectable Esme. He’s supposed to be her husband—a role that will give him twenty-four, seven access in order to protect her. He needs that access in order to make sure that Esme doesn’t run from the authorities and that she stays alive. But what Tyler doesn’t count on is the consuming desire he feels for a woman who should be off-limits. She’ll test every limit that he has… Esme doesn’t expect her attraction to the rule-following Tyler. He’s big, he’s buttoned-down, and he’s absolutely…delicious. She also suspects that he may be carefully controlling a wild side—one that she would love to see erupt. Oh, if only. When danger comes calling, Tyler is more than ready to handle any threat. Who knew that falling for the good guy could be so tempting? And so very…heart-breaking. Because there was no way a guy like Tyler would want to stay around once they stop pretending. Everyone knows the bad girl never gets to keep the good guy, especially when she’s still working a very long con. Author’s Note: Are you in the mood for a strong hero who makes “protecting and defending” his life code? Tyler is big, fierce, and more than ready to step into the line of fire in order to protect his charge. He’s also falling fast under the spell of a woman he should not trust. Everything with Esme is just pretend…everything, except the desire they feel for each other. And the very, very real danger that stalks her. A danger that may wind up costing Tyler more than he ever expected. WHEN HE PROTECTS, Tyler gives his all, and when he loves…he will fight like hell for the woman who stole his heart.

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 474
Book Description
The Château du Ciel was once the destination for the rich and famous to play, drink and ski—complete with a private railway to shuttle those desiring extra privacy—now, however, the guests are few and far between. The New Year’s Eve party was supposed to hoist the rundown hotel back to its former status, until a massive blizzard hits, trapping the guests who’ve come to celebrate the grand hotel’s last hurrah. The circumstances might even be romantic, if the hotel wasn't reputed to be haunted. When hotel employee Mave Michael finds the resident artist dead, and shortly thereafter hotel security finds Mave alone with the body, the reputation that Mave has fought long and hard to outrun comes back to haunt her. You see, her father is a notorious hitman who is serving multiple life sentences in prison. She has changed her name and location dozens of times, but he somehow manages to track her down—even sending her a postcard on the eve of her birthday, January 1st. She’s the perfect choice to frame for murder, and now the number one suspect. Mave can no longer deny the lessons in survival her father taught her, and calls on that and her uncanny sixth-sense in “finding” lost objects to navigate the maze of the hotel. To save herself, she not only has to stop running from her own past, she must unearth the history of the hotel, its elite guests and buried secrets—one deadly sin at a time. An homage to classic gothic horror, that proves that the ghosts of family and classism are alive and well.

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 232
Book Description
From the author of the international bestseller The 100-Year-Old-Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared, a brilliant satirical novel set in modern Sweden—a story of idealism and fanaticism, gangsters and entrepreneurs, sensationalism and spirituality, that explores the values that matter in contemporary life. In a former brothel turned low-rent hotel, the lives of three unusual strangers—a former female priest, recently fired from her church; the ruined grandson of an ex-millionaire working as a receptionist; and Killer-Anders, a murderer newly released from prison—accidently collide with darkly hilarious results. Seeing a lucrative opportunity in Killer-Anders, the unlikely trio form an unusual new business. The Priest and The Receptionist will handle strategy and public relations, and coordinate Killer-Anders’ “missions.” Using the media’s obsessive need for sensational, headline-making stories to advertise their talent’s superb “skill,” they quickly build a clientele of rich Swedish gangsters. Suddenly, they’re making an altogether different kind of killing of their own. But when Killer-Anders begins asking deeper questions about purpose and meaning, his curiosity leads him to an unexpected discovery: he finds Jesus. Desperate to save the money machine they’ve built, The Priest and The Receptionist devise an audacious plan utilizing Killer-Anders’ newfound and decidedly fervent faith. Mischievous yet big-hearted, filled with Jonas Jonasson’s trenchant humor and delightful twists, Hitman Anders and the Meaning of It All is a delightful comic adventure that reminds us it’s never to late to start over—and to discover what truly matters.

Hitman's Wife is book 3 and the finale of A Bound to the Hitman Romance trilogy! I'LL GIVE HIM MY BODY IF IT WILL PROTECT MY BABY. He had my name on his hit list. But I couldn't leave my baby without a mother. So I made him a deal: Take my body. Leave my baby. And to my horrified surprise… he accepted. I always knew my ex was a crazy S.O.B. But hiring an assassin to murder me in my sleep? That's more than insane. That's downright evil. But there's no stopping it now. And when the hitman kicks down my door, I know I'll do whatever it takes to protect my little angel. The only problem is, I have no bargaining chips. Except for one thing… My body. I can tell by the way the killer looks at me that he wants a taste. I've sworn off men since my ex abused me. But I'll break any promise if it means my baby survives. The sickest thing of all is that part of me WANTS the hitman to take me. Those hands have done dirty things. And I want to see what they can do to me. Submitting to him is the sweetest sin I've ever committed. But Evan's employer doesn't take kindly to a failed job. And just as soon as I fall into the hitman's arms, we have to go running for our lives. It would be cute if it wasn't so terrifying. Like a little family on the road – me, my man, and my baby. But if his employer's men catch up to us… There will be hell to pay.
