Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Successful but shy Sofia La Scala is a workaholic accountant missing out on the real reasons to live in New York City. Twenty-eight years-old and fresh out of a bad relationship, she dedicates herself to finally finding "Mr. Right." To that end, she commits to at least one happy hour per week with her best friend, Chloe, in the pursuit of love. When Chloe stands her up, Sofia doesn’t find herself alone at the bar but instead encounters seductive billionaire Alex Chambers. By the end of the night, Sofia is entangled in a lust-driven romance with a man equally full of mysteries as charm. They become immersed in each other as they live out illicit sexual fantasies during elaborate, costume-filled playdates in high-end hotel penthouse suites. However, being Head of Fiscal Affairs at a top-level finance company hasn’t made Sofia any wiser when accounting for her love life. Her fantasies come to a crashing halt when she stumbles upon what initially looks like a simple programming glitch but is really far more sinister. Inexplicably, it’s also linked to Alex, with whom she’s now falling in love. As Sofia investigates the problem, more questions emerge which she’s afraid to ask. Sofia embraced her transformation from a shy accountant into a thrill-seeking, fantasy-fueled sex goddess at the hands of Alex. Will she jeopardize her career in pursuit of the truth? More importantly, is she willing to face the truth if it means losing the one thing which has come to matter more to her than her career- a shot at a real romantic future with Alex Chambers?

Book excerpt: A tight-laced businessman learns to listen to his heart—not just his head—when a free-spirited beauty turns his orderly life upside down. Sporting only a towel and a startled grimace, hotel owner Max Sorenson isn’t sure what to make of the cheerful, freckle-faced woman who somehow manages to make plumbers coveralls look so unbelievably sexy. Even with a wrench in her hand, it takes him a while to understand that she’s the hotel’s new handyman. Mostly because he can’t take his eyes off those perfect, kissable lips. Kate Weston came prepared to fix a leak, not start a fire, but Max does funny things to her body. A woman devoted to carefree adventure, she believes in living—and loving—without strings. Max has enough reasons not to get close, his private demons see to that. But what starts as spontaneous combustion quickly begins to feel like much more. Desire proves opposites attract. But will love find a way to keep them together? Includes a special message from the editor, as well as excerpts from these Loveswept titles: Along Came Trouble, The Notorious Lady Anne, and Unforgettable.

Book excerpt: In a smart and funny novel by the award-winning author of the critically acclaimed “big-hearted, charming” (The Washington Post) Small Admissions, a family’s move to New York City brings surprises and humor. Allison Brinkley—wife, mother, and former unflappable optimist—discovers that her decision to pack up and move her family from suburban Dallas to the glittery chaos of Manhattan may have been more complicated than she and her husband initially thought. New York is more unruly and bewildering than she expected, defying the notions she developed from romantic movies and a memorable childhood visit. After a humiliating call from the principal’s office and the loss of the job she was counting on, Allison begins to accept that New York may not suit her after all. When she has a fender-bender, witnessed by a flock of mothers at her son’s new school, she is led to the penthouse apartment of a luxurious Central Park West building and encounters a spoiled, hungover, unsupervised teenager who looks familiar. It doesn’t take long to recognize him as Carter Reid—a famous pop star who has been cast in a new Broadway musical. Through this brush with stardom, Allison embraces a unique and unexpected opportunity that helps her find her way in the heart of Manhattan. “A tribute to Broadway, teen celebrity life, and a mother who has now seen it all, this work is tough love at its finest and a great read for those wanting a ride on the wild side” (Booklist, starred review).

Book excerpt: Zahra What would you do if you found out that your fiancé cheated on you the night before your wedding with a reality tv exotic dancer? What if you found out that they'd had a threesome with your best friend, who was also your maid of honor? What if you discovered all of this on the morning of your wedding with a camera for your own reality tv show pointing at your face? Let me tell you what I do. I punch her. I punch him. And then I run away to Italy on what should have been my honeymoon alone, with my ex's stolen credit cards. I just want to drink all the wine and cry myself to sleep at night, but I can't even do that in peace. Giulio I deserve this holiday. I worked hard for it. I killed for it. Literally. But the woman next door won't stop crying and it's keeping me awake at night. When I go to confront her... Well, let's just say things don't go to plan. Not that I'm complaining. And I know my life is chaotic, but even I can't predict the armed man who shows up to kill me or the fact that I've somehow ended up on the run with the weepy goddess from the penthouse suite. It's a mistake to bring Zahra along, but I want to keep her safe. I want to keep her with me. Also, try as I might, I can't tell her no and mean it. Besides, I'm beginning to suspect that I might have the guns, but I'm not running this show; she is, and she's damn sexy while doing it.
