Deň sa nemohol začať horšie! Po noci strávenej s najpríšernejším milencom na svete narazí Harlow Vegová na svojho bývalého manžela Finna, spomienku na divoký víkend vo Vegas. Hoci bol Finn v posteli neprekonateľný a pri pohľade na jeho vyšportovanú postavu padla sánka nejednej vrátane Harlow, napokon sa z krásavca vykľul sviniar. Aspoň podľa nej. Príťažlivý Kanaďan pricestoval do Harlowinho rodného mesta za obchodom a od tej chvíle sa ich cesty neustále pretínajú – a v najnevhodnejší čas. Harlow práve prežíva zložité obdobie, hrozí, že stratí najdôležitejšiu osobu vo svojom živote. Finn zas musí vymyslieť, ako zachrániť rodinnú firmu pred krachom. Riešenie, ktoré sa mu ponúka, nechce za žiadnych okolností akceptovať, znamenalo by stratu slobody. Obaja hľadajú v ťažkých chvíľach rozptýlenie, a keďže si kedysi v istej oblasti výborne rozumeli, začnú tráviť voľné chvíle spolu. Pohybujú sa však po veľmi tenkom ľade.

It's time for a new beginning: Chloe and Bennett are finally getting married, proving that the couple that argues the most stays together the best.

A charming British Playboy. A girl determined to finally live. And a secret liaison revealed in all too vivid color. Book two in the NYT Bestselling series. Escaping a cheating ex, finance whiz Sara Dillon's moved to New York City and is looking for excitement without a lot of strings attached. So meeting the irresistible, sexy Brit at a dance club should have meant nothing more than a night's fun. But the manner--and speed--with which he melts her inhibitions turns him from a one-time hookup and into her Beautiful Stranger. The whole city knows Max Stella loves women, not that he's ever found one he particularly wants to keep around. Despite pulling in plenty with his Wall Street bad boy charm, it's not until Sara--and the wild photos she lets him take of her--that he starts wondering if there's someone for him outside of the bedroom. Hooking up in places where anybody could catch them, the only thing scarier for Sara than getting caught in public is having Max get too close in private.

"In the third book in the Beautiful Bastard series, an agreement between a venture capitalist and a bookish woman quickly becomes a very NSFW version of My Fair Lady. When Hanna "Ziggy" Bergstrom moves to New York City for graduate school, Will Sumner thinks his responsibilities to his best friend's nerdy little sister will be limited to the occasional dinner and check-in. Little does he know that Ziggy is ready to break out of her bookworm academic shell and move more into bombshell territory. Of course she figures the gorgeous womanizing venture capitalist Will is the best person to help mentor her in this new field of study: dating. Will takes on the challenge with more than a healthy dose of skepticism and humor, but soon finds that Ziggy just needed a tiny push, not a world of change, to reveal a woman every man seems to notice. Soon "Ziggy" is gone and the unfiltered, innocently seductive Hanna Bergstrom is hijacking his dreams, his moods, and even his orderly no-strings-attached dating life--beginning the night his mentoring activities move between the sheets"--

Their scheme for a guys’ weekend completely derailed, Bennett and Max take every chance they get to rendezvous secretly with the women they love.

And so the couple find themselves with two plane tickets, one French villa, and a surprising conversation that, predictably, leaves them wrestling under the covers.
