Invisible. A ghost. No one sees her. No one knows her. Until him. For the last seven years, Jo Carpenter has been a ghost in her own life. No friends. No permanent address. No long-term job. And that is exactly the way she wants it... Until a typing error lands her on Nate Harding's doorstep in the city of Edinburgh, answering his ad for a roommate. Nate and his luxury house are a different world for Jo. Tall, rugged and with a voice that seems hardwired to Jo's sex drive, Nate is a distraction Jo can't afford, but neither seems able to fight the growing tension between them. Nate's touch brings Jo back to life and every encounter leaves her craving more. As they grow closer and intimacy creeps its way around them, Nate knows there are things Jo isn't telling him. What he doesn't realize is the less he knows about Jo and her past, the safer he is. For years Jo has been careful-hasn't let her guard down, got too comfortable or let anyone get close enough to see the person beneath her protective armor. Soon it isn't just Nate that Jo has fallen for-it's his whole family, from his adorable niece to his eccentric sister, Suze, who quickly becomes the best friend Jo has ever had. Against her better judgment, Jo let's herself believe she can have a normal life. In Nate's arms she forgets the things that haunt her, and the reasons she should leave that innocent family become all the reasons she can't.
All she wanted was one night. One night to feel something. She would never see him again. No one had to know. During a girls' weekend in Las Vegas, Marley Jacobs makes the risky decision to let go of the stress of her reality and enjoy life, even if it's just for one night. Green-eyed and gorgeous Blake Hamilton opens her eyes to all the pleasures Vegas has to offer and allows her to experience something other than the desperate suffocation she has grown accustomed to. When she returns home to New York and the shackles which await her, she has to forget about Blake, and how he made her feel more alive in one night than she ever has in her entire life. Marley never thought she would see Blake again, but a moment of kismet throws them back together. It doesn't take Marley long to realize that the burning desire for Blake didn't come from the dry heat of the desert. The passion Marley has for Blake is dizzying and without warning, intimacy creeps in. Falling for Blake isn't part of Marley's plan. She knows exactly how her life is supposed to be and she cannot afford to be distracted by him or his green eyes. The only problem is, for someone she isn't supposed to be with, he seems to fit perfectly within her heart.
