My world ended the day I received an eviction notice for Lotus House Yoga. Teaching yoga is all I’ve ever known. I’ve been doing tree pose since the age of two. The studio is my home, my legacy. My mother and her best friend left Lotus House to me so that I could carry on spreading goodness and light to everyone who enters our door. Now I’m faced with the very real possibility that it will all go up in smoke…unless I can convince Grant Winters - the most ridiculously handsome and arrogant businessman I’ve ever met - to save not only my business but all those around it.

My life felt like a fast ride on a too short highway. Coming home should be roses and rainbows, but nothing that comes out of the desert blooms free. I was most certainly not free. I'd missed my payment to Blaine, owed the last client a hundred grand I didn't have, and my father was on his deathbed. To make matters worse, Wes was missing in action. As in, no one had seen or heard from him in three weeks. Devastation didn't begin to explain where my mental state was at.

My name is Honor, but I have none to speak of. I’m a high-society princess on the verge of ending it all. I have nothing to show for my life, though my bank account would say otherwise. Money and status has controlled every ounce of my world and I want no part of it. To find a healthier avenue to deal with my grief, I turned to Lotus House Yoga for salvation - and found it in the tall, dark, and brutally attractive Nicholas Salerno. He’s everything I’m not. Lives every day to the fullest, loves his family, and goes after what he wants with a thrust that’s unmatched.

International Guy Inc. is owned and operated by Parker Ellis, a ladies’ man with a high IQ and a big libido. He’s the most successful life and love coach in the world, and he’s smart enough to know he can’t run a multimillion-dollar company alone. He hires two friends whose areas of expertise complement his own. They comprise The Dream Maker, The Love Maker, and The Money Maker. Together, they advise the wealthiest people in the world. And sometimes they can’t help it when things heat up and they end up in bed with their clients. Quite literally.

Looks as though my hot streak ended when Warren Shipley, one of the nation's wealthiest men, hired me to play arm-candy to save face with the other one-percenters he did business with. At least that's what I thought when I arrived in Washington, DC, until I was met by old man Shipley's debonair and insanely handsome son. The Senator from California, Aaron Shipley. Youngest senator in the history of politics, single, beyond rich, and the face of every political magazine around the US.

Neither my success as a full-figured lingerie and fashion model nor my street smarts as a born and bred Chicago native safeguarded me against walking into the clutches of a monster. As I try to pull my life back together, I'm brought face-to-face with a man whose wounds mirror my own. Under his protection, I'm gifted the opportunity to find beauty where there has only ever been pain. And yet, danger lurks, as a new evil threatens to bring me to my knees.

I’m a professional. That doesn’t mean I can’t lose control. I’m only human. But I’d better watch myself with Skyler Paige. She’s the hottest movie star on the planet right now - the woman I’ve crushed on for years - and she’s on the edge of losing it. She needs to find her muse. Hell, she needs to find herself. But most of all, she needs International Guy’s help. That’s why she’s come to me, Parker Ellis. Ever since Skyler opened her door, it’s been a freakin’ hurricane of charged lust between us. Damn. I just don’t want to go too far, too fast. Only she’s making it so hard.

Parker Ellis, CEO of International Guy Inc., advises the wealthiest people in the world on life and love. And sometimes he can’t help it when things heat up and he ends up in bed with his clients. This International Guy knows that there’s a whole world waiting for him. But as he goes from city to city - and from woman to woman - it’s possible that he just might find his own love along the way.

I love women. All women. I’ve made a career out of being exactly what a woman needs. You want something outta life and have the money to back that dream? Let’s discuss it. There’s no challenge I can’t meet, and I never leave a client unsatisfied. So when perfume heiress Sophie Rolland calls me to help take her family’s company - and Paris - by storm, I know exactly what she needs. Just a few days with my team and there will be no stopping Sophie. Watching a gorgeous woman come alive in the City of Lights - that’s why I got into this business. Not to mention what happens when those lights go out…

What man doesn’t like to strap himself into a fast, well-oiled machine? International Guy’s three-for-hire are no different. We’re all high performance - on the road and off. That’s why our new client in Berlin, a statuesque blonde with piercing blue eyes, hired us to come up with a hot promotion for her unique line of cars. Isn’t it? It turns out Monika Schmidt wants to use more than our smarts for her cutting-edge campaign. She wants our bodies. That means we have to be on our best (model) behavior. But a woman who likes to mix business with pleasure is full of surprises.

I’ve been hired to find a love match for a stunning, powerful, and lonely CEO. She’s through with being mined by gold diggers who only want her money and her body. She’s looking for love. Imagine my surprise when my business partner Royce offers himself up on a silver platter, a move that could ruin everything we’ve built - our friendship, International Guy’s reputation - and even Royce’s heart. The thing is...he’s all wrong for her, and I know it. Royce wants to settle down, but this client is most certainly not that kind of woman.

I should have known better. Never fall, Parker. Now I’m getting as far away from my personal problems as I can. Back to business. Except it’s hard to focus on anything but the prospect of a good time with my new client. She’s a corporate genius with bangin’ curves, endlessly long legs, and pouty pink lips begging for my...services. Someone’s been stealing and selling her trade secrets and only International Guy can help her. How can I say no to such a tempting plea?

With intimate pictures of me and starlet Skyler Paige igniting a tabloid sexstorm, the gig in Milan is perfectly timed. I need a distraction. And what a distraction: a dozen gorgeous Italian lingerie models - every one of them a mouthwatering temptation. The problem? These aren’t professionals. They’re real women - soft, lush, and inexperienced. They need International Guy to show them how to embrace their sexy on the runway. With my personal life challenges and just a week to empower each one, I’m not on my game. All I can think about is Skyler.

Sweet and naïve in the ways of the world, Camille "Cami" Johnston has done whatever it takes to survive in New York City. Unbroken by her tumultuous past, she is pursuing a stable and secure future that doesn't include worrying about where the rent money will come from. Little does she know, a full-time position at Jensen Construction will do more than pay the bills, it will bring her everything she ever dreamed of having, but didn't believe she was worthy of.

My latest project has trouble written all over her. And it’s my favorite kind: lush curves; full, kissable lips; and a wicked smile that promises a million sins. But Christina Kaarsberg is a whole new gamble. She’s a princess - as in the Danish royal family. And if I make one mistake, my International Guy business will be royally screwed. There’s a lot more riding on this job than just a woman who needs help. Not only do I have to tame this soon-to-reign bad girl but I also have to convince her to marry the crown prince and accept her rightful place as the next queen of Denmark.

Per lasciarsi il passato alle spalle, Holly ha attraversato l'oceano. Ha abbandonato l'Inghilterra per raggiungere l'Oregon, diretta verso la prima città degli Stati Uniti in cui ci fosse bisogno urgente di una bibliotecaria. E per la prima volta nella sua vita si è sentita completamente libera. L'unica cosa che voleva era dedicarsi ai libri, senza più preoccupazioni. Poi a una festa piena zeppa di motociclisti, ha incontrato Tank, l'uomo più impulsivo e arrogante che abbia mai conosciuto. È bastato uno sguardo per far divampare l'incendio.

I feel things. Deeply. More so than most people. Call it an empathic ability, call it whatever you want. It doesn't change the fact that I am unable to love...at least not again. When you've had everything and lost it, there is no do-over. You can't repair a shattered heart.

“Fly free.” For 10 years those words, written on pink parchment paper in her mother’s beautiful handwriting, have been Suda Kaye Ross’s guiding star. Every year on her birthday, Suda Kaye opens another of the letters her mother penned before she passed, heeding the advice inside as she fills her life with experiences. From Italy to Australia, from Rio to Russia, she’s slaked her wanderlust. And then, on her 28th birthday, she opens the letter that sends her home.

I had no idea what to expect when the producers of Dr. Hoffman sent me to the pristine white mountains of Aspen, Colorado. As the town of Aspen is known for being a winter haven for uber-rich Americans, I knew this desert cactus was going to be way out of her element. The ace up my sleeve however, was a high-class movie-making surfer whose family owned a cabin in those snowy hills. With him by my side, I'd make the most out of the experience.
