Can the man who broke her heart…

…be the one to mend it?

Traveling to France to bless her best friend’s marriage, wedding celebrant Hannah McGinley’s determined not to fall for the man who broke her heart once before — best man and marriage sceptic Laurent Bonneval. But their chemistry is impossible to ignore and amid the champagne and confetti her resolve melts… Yet for Hannah to consider a future with Laurent, he must prove he’s dealt with his past.

Unrequited love … or is it?? Katrina Cudmore’s latest is quite enchanting! They had a fun-filled relationship, then he suddenly broke her heart when he walked away with little notice. Now circumstances put them in close proximity again, and their chemistry with each other comes slamming back in full force. She wants forever … he can’t give it to her. Can walking away again really be the answer?

Hannah McGinley can’t say that she’s really prepared to see the man that broke her heart a year ago again, but her best friend is marrying his brother, so she has to see him at the wedding whether she wants to or not.

Laurent Bonneval knows it’s going to be awkward seeing Hannah again, but what he doesn’t realize is that they are going to fall right back into the attraction that was always his undoing around her. He knows that he’s not cut out for long term, but when he’s around her he’s not sure that he doesn’t want to try!

In the dark, he kisses her…

Not knowing who she really is….

When a blackout hits Chicago, billionaire Darius King makes the most of it with an irresistible stranger. But then the lights reveal the woman in his arms is the woman he hates—his best friend’s widow! His new plan: entice her into marriage to protect his friend’s legacy. But wild attraction and explosive secrets could make that arrangement very inconvenient…

Forbidden passion ignites under the guise of darkness! Naima Simone did NOT disappoint in her Harlequin Desire debut! With an exciting start to the story, she quickly reveals enough past drama to catch the reader’s attention from the very beginning, and holds it throughout with the relationship brewing between Darius and Isobel and also with the back story hanging over their head that we are dying to hear all about. The story was fast paced and packed with steam. Looking forward to more in the series!

Billionaire Darius King is less than pleased when a blackout hits Chicago and has him stuck in darkness in the middle of a party. When a delightful stranger takes his mind off of the discomfort, he doesn’t even try to fight the attraction that is flaring red hot between them. They might as well enjoys themselves while they pass the time right? Only when the lights come back on and he realizes just who it was that he was getting hot and heavy with, let’s just say he’s far from pleased!

When Isobel Hughes realizes it was her late husband’s best friend that enchanted her during the blackout, she knows he’s going to pitch a fit. He hates her and wants her far, far away from him and Gage’s family. When he verifies that she still has something that would benefit Gage’s family, he sets out to finagle his way under her skin so she’ll agree to marry him and let him control the access to her prized possession.
