Here comes the substitute bride. . . .

Violet Brantford has always longed for the passionate embrace of Adrian Winter, the wealthy Duke of Raeburn. Problem is, he's set to marry Violet's vivacious, more socially polished look-alike twin sister, Jeannette. But when Jeannette refuses to go through with the ceremony mere minutes before it is to begin, soft-spoken Violet finds herself walking down the aisle and taking vows in her sister's place. Soon shy Violet is a high-society wife, trying to keep her real identity a secret while living out the fantasies of her wildest dreams.

Adrian thinks he knows exactly what he's gotten himself into: Jeannette may be flighty and, well, a bit self-involved, but she's the picture-perfect wife to carry on the Winter name. Yet this marriage of convenience brings the groom more than he bargained for when he finds his sweet, innocent wife surprising him at every turn. And though he never planned on true love, Adrian is definitely in danger of losing his heart.

Does a seventeen-year-old from Miami have what it takes to be the next big Latin superstar? And does she really want it?

As a talented singer-guitarist with a dream of going pro, Alegría Montero is getting fed up with the endless, boring parade of quinceañeras and other family party gigs. She's longing for something bigger. And Oye Mi Canto -- a new reality TV show that's searching for the next Latin superstar -- is definitely that. Ali figures she'll never make the cut, but auditioning seems like a good way to get her overprotective father to take her ambitions seriously.

To Ali's complete shock, she passes her audition. Next thing she knows, she's dealing with wardrobe fittings, cameras, reporters, vocal coaches, and websites designed by lovestruck fanboys. She's also dealing with jealousy, malice, and sabotage among the contestants, all of which has her wondering: Is it really time to shoot for the stars and try to win the whole competition, or is it time to say "Cut!" and become a normal teenager again?

Matthew Taylor is a man on the run, with consequences of past mistakes pursuing him at every turn. Meeting Annabelle Grayson the first time was unpleasant enough, but when she crosses his path again, her presence in his life- and what she reveals- is devastating.

Life has never been easy for Tim. Abandoned and left to fend for himself, he's finally found a home with Dean Luchetti. But something's missing. Tim's convinced that what he needs is a mother and what Dean needs is a wife. And he thinks he's got the perfect candidate in Stella O'Connell, his school's principal.

The last person Stella expects to encounter at her new school is Dean Luchetti, the man who broke her heart as a teenager. Dean and Stella may have a difficult past, but they feel the same strong attraction they always did -- and if they're not careful, history could repeat itself. Breaking each other's hearts is one thing, but breaking Tim's is an altogether different matter.

A funny thing happened...

Unlike most men of his acquaintance, Gregory Bridgerton believes in true love. And he is convinced that when he finds the woman of his dreams, he will know in an instant that she is the one. And that is exactly what happened. Except...

She wasn’t the one. In fact, the ravishing Miss Hermione Watson is in love with another. But her best friend, the ever-practical Lady Lucinda Abernathy, wants to save Hermione from a disastrous alliance, so she offers to help Gregory win her over. But in the process, Lucy falls in love.

And her uncle is not inclined to let her back out of the betrothal, even once Gregory comes to his senses and realizes that it is Lucy, with her sharp wit and sunny smile, who makes his heart sing. And now, on the way to the wedding, Gregory must risk everything to ensure that when it comes time to kiss the bride, he is the only man standing at the altar...

E' successa una cosa divertente...

A differenza di molti uomini di sua conoscenza, Gregory Bridgerton crede nel vero amore. Ed è convinto che quando troverà la donna dei suoi sogni, saprà in un istante che lei è "la predestinata". E questo è esattamente quello che succede. Eccetto che...

Lei non era la predestinata. Infatti, l'affascinante Miss Hermione Watson è innamorata di un altro. Ma la sua migliore amica, la sempre pratica Lady Lucinda Abernathy, vuole salvare Hermione da una disastrosa alleanza, così si offre di aiutare Gregory nel conquistarla. Ma nel processo, Lucy si innamora. Di Gregory! Eccetto che...

Lucy è fidanzata. E suo zio non era incline a lasciarla libera dal suo fidanzamento, anche quando Gregory ritorna in se e realizza che è Lucy, con il suo spirito acuto e il sorriso sorale, che fa cantare il suo cuore. E ora, sulla strada del matrimonio, Gregory deve mettere a rischio tutto per assicurarsi che quando arriverà il momento di baciare la sposa, lui sia l'unico uomo in piedi davanti all'altare...

Acclaimed author Kresley Cole introduces a sizzling new series with this tale of a fierce werewolf and a bewitching vampire -- unlikely soul mates whose passion will test the boundaries of life and death. A mythic warrior who'll stop at nothing to possess her . . . After enduring years of torture from the vampire horde, Lachlain MacRieve, leader of the Lykae Clan, is enraged to find the predestined mate he's waited millennia for is a vampire. Or partly one. This Emmaline is a small, ethereal half Valkyrie/half vampire, who somehow begins to soothe the fury burning within him. A vampire captured by her wildest fantasy . . . Sheltered Emmaline Troy finally sets out to uncover the truth about her deceased parents -- until a powerful Lykae claims her as his mate and forces her back to his ancestral Scottish castle. There, her fear of the Lykae -- and their notorious dark desires -- ebbs as he begins a slow, wicked seduction to sate her own dark cravings. An all-consuming desire . . . Yet when an ancient evil from her past resurfaces, will their desire deepen into a love that can bring a proud warrior to his knees and turn a gentle beauty into the fighter she was born to be? Includes an excerpt from Kresley Cole's next romance novel, No Rest for the Wicked.

Dopo avere sopportato anni di tortura da orde di vampiri, Lachlain MacRieve, capo del Clan di Lykae, è fuori per trovare la compagna predestinata che sta aspettando da millenni come vampiro.

Un vampiro bloccato dalla sua fantasia più selvaggia. . . Emmaline Troy è uscita allo scoperto per scoprire la verità sulla morte dei suoi genitori, fino a che un Lykae potente la esige come sua compagna e la riporta indietro al suo avito castello scozzese. Là, la sua paura dei Lykae, e dei loro famigerati desideri oscuri, diminuisce mentre lui comincia una lenta e peccaminosa seduzione per sedare i propri desideri oscuri. Un desiderio bruciante... Tuttavia quando una malvagità antica dal suo passato riappare, il loro desiderio si approfondirà in amore che può portare un guerriero fiero alle sue ginocchia e trasformare una bellezza delicata nella combattente che è nata per essere?

Cordelia O'Keefe Blackburn strikes a deal with her crusty old tycoon of a grandfather to fund an expedition that will make her name as an explorer. But first, he requires she prove herself by locating three Mayan stone carvings and something known as "the gift of the jaguar."

To make matters worse, he insists on sending along someone-- his arrogant butler!-- to authenticate her findings, and it becomes clear that a powerful and ruthless third party is set on finding the fabled stones and treasure first.

As the trail leads them across the Caribbean and into Mexico, Cordelia learns that tall, sardonic Hartford Goodnight is far more than just a butler. And Goodnight learns that beautiful, provocative Cordelia is as tough as she is tempting. Soon, the pair is hip deep in danger and desire, racing the competition to the prize-- and trying to keep the sparks between them from setting the rain forest ablaze!

Cordelia O'Keefe Blackburn fa un patto con il suo vecchio e decrepito nonno, vecchio magnate, per organizzare una spedizione che la riconoscerà come esploratrice. Ma prima, lui le chiede di dimostrare le sue capacità localizzando tre pietre incise dell'epoca Maya e qualcosa conosciuto come "il dono del giaguaro".

Per peggiorare le cose, lui insiste nel mandare con lei qualcuno, il suo arrogante maggiordomo!, per autentificare le sue scoperte, e diventa chiaro che un potente e spietata terza parte si è messa per prima alla ricerca delle favolose pietre e del tesoro.

Mentre il percorso li conduce attraverso i Caraibi fino in Messico, Cordelia impara che l'alto, sardonico Hartford Goodnight è molto più che un semplice maggiordomo. E Goodnight impara che la bellissima, provocante Cordelia è tosta quanto tentatrice. Presto, la coppia è immersa nel pericolo e nel desiderio, competendo per il premio, e cercando di impedire che le scintille che sprizzano tra loro incendino la foresta pluviale!

Kimberley Young, editor

Five years after their divorce, jewelry designer Erin Reilly agrees to let her son, Joey, spend the summer in the outback with her ex-husband, cattleman Luke Manning. Erin has no intention of returning there herself, but when she's summoned to Joey's side after a minor accident, the familiar surroundings stir her long-dormant feelings for Luke. They've both changed, but can they pick up where they left off? Barbara Hannay's Claiming His Family has an emotional component that some may appreciate, and rough but tender Luke has his moments. The missing ingredient is sexual tension between Luke and Erin. (Catherine Witmer)

Un amore che sboccia, la scelta di passare la vita insieme, un figlio in arrivo... Poi qualcosa s'incrina. Per cinque lunghi anni. Fino a ora.

C'è un'unica persona che Erin Reilly ama più di quanto abbia amato il suo ex marito, Luke Manning: il figlio che ha avuto da lui, Joey. E proprio per il bene del bambino, disperatamente bisognoso di una figura paterna, decide che è tempo che i due si conoscano. Appena Erin arriva nella tenuta di Luke, dalla quale è fuggita cinque anni prima, timorosa di vivere una vita troppo isolata, i ricordi l'assalgono. E sono dolcissimi e struggenti. Quando poi il suo sguardo incontra quello dell'ex marito, la scintilla scocca di nuovo, come se non si fosse mai spenta. È veramente cambiato qualcosa, da allora? Un modo per saperlo potrebbe essere...
