Emmas liv har været sjovere. Hun er kendt som prinsesse Anya fra den populære serie Dark Castle, indtil hendes karakter uventet – og helt bogstaveligt – mister hovedet. Imens finder virkelige Emma sin virkelige kæreste i seng med en anden virkelig kvinde. Emma har i den grad brug for at komme væk, og refugiet Rosemont i de solrige sydcaliforniske bjerge virker som det helt rette sted. Lucien Osmond har også søgt tilflugt på Rosemont. Efter at hans karriere som professionel ishockeyspiller er gået i vasken, ved han ikke, hvad han skal med sit liv. Og imens han forsøger at finde svar, bager han stakkevis af kager. At finde svaret på livets store spørgsmål bliver ikke ligefrem nemmere, da en sød filmstjerne dukker op på Rosemont. Og flirter hun ligefrem med ham? Selvom Lucian er spændende, er Emmas liv kompliceret nok i forvejen. Men efter en spontan badetur i månens skær begynder hans søde, hjemmebagte lækkerier pludselig at dukke op på Emmas dørtrin, og hun er fristet … måske er hun faktisk klar til at smage på livet igen? Søde fristelse er den anden, selvstændige bog i duetten Californiske drømme af Kristen Callihan. “Kristen Callihan har et stort talent for at skabe seksuel spænding og plots, der får en til at tabe kæben.” – Diana Gabaldon New York Times-bestsellerforfatter “Sikke en skøn læseoplevelse! En sød, hjertelig og gribende romance, der sitrer af kemi.” – The Escapist Book Blog “Kristen Callihan har konstrueret en romance fyldt med store – og smertende – følelser, samtidig med hun takler den svære side af berømmelse og faren ved kontaktsport. Beskrivelserne af Lucian, der laver delikate lækkerier, er en fryd.” – Library Journal “Søde fristelse er fuldstændigt, herligt fantastisk!” – Harlequin Junkie

Delilah og Macon har været ærkefjender lige siden highschool, da Macon var kæreste med Delilahs populære søster, Sam. Delilah havde håbet, at hun aldrig skulle se Macon igen – udover det uundgåelige glimt af hans øretæveindbydende, nu verdenskendte ansigt på diverse Hollywoodfilmplakater. Men Sam har en helt særlig evne til at skabe problemer for sig selv, og Delilah må som altid hjælpe sin søster. Denne gang involverer problemerne dog Macon og tyveriet af et arvestykke. Da Delilah dukker op og trygler Macon om ikke at anmelde Sam, indvilliger han modstræbende, men først da Delilah tilbyder at flytte ind og arbejde for ham. For det er faktisk hårdt at bo alene, når man er ved at komme sig efter en trafikulykke, og pressen lugter blod. Som de to gamle fjender kommer hinanden nærmere, sænker de deres parader og opdager nye, uventede sider af den anden. Og da Sam dukker op igen, må Delilah tage en beslutning: Vil hun være loyal over for sin søster, eller tør hun satse på det sidste menneske, hun nogensinde havde regnet med at falde for? Kære nemesis er den første, selvstændige bog i duetten Californiske drømme af Kristen Callihan. “Callihan brillierer med en spydighedsfyldt dialog, der i virkeligheden er udtryk for usagt begær gemt bag et skjold af flere års uvilje, men hun gør det uden at negligere den smerte, der findes bag skjoldet.” – BOOK READER CHRONICLES “Kære nemesis var en sand fornøjelse at læse … helt sikkert et must-read.” – COCKTAILS & BOOKS “En dybt rørende og utraditionel romance, som jeg anbefaler af hele mit hjerte.” – FRESH FICTION

NÅR MASKERNE FALDER, HVEM STÅR SÅ TILBAGE? Nogle mennesker ved lige, hvilke ømme tæer de skal træde på. I Brennas liv er det Rye. Når de er sammen, går der sjældent mere end ti minutter, før hun har lyst til at rive hovedet af ham – eller kysse ham. Og det er lidt upraktisk, når han spiller bas i verdens største rockband, Kill John, som Brenna tilfældigvis laver PR for. Men alt ændrer sig, da Rye overhører Brenna komme med en tilståelse i et svagt øjeblik. Nu frister manden, hun har gjort sit bedste for at undgå, hende med det eneste, hun ikke kan modstå … ham. Rye ved, at Brenna er den eneste ene. Den eneste ene, han ikke kan få, og som han ikke kan lade være med at tænke på. Og det gik alt sammen okay, indtil han hører hende indrømme, at hun er ensom og savner regelmæssig, god sex. Selvom han gerne vil have mere, så er venner med fordele vel bedre end ingenting? Maskefald er fjerde, selvstændige bind i VIP-serien. Pressen skriver: "Der er unægteligt lagt an til en god historie, når man tager to karakterer, som er en del af den samme tætte vennegruppe, og som tydeligvis har en masse skjulte følelser for hinanden, og lader dem være i et ’casual’ forhold.” – All About Romance ”En fornøjelse af være tilbage i Kill Johns verden! Jeg elskede Maskefald lige så højt som de forrige tre bøger. Jeg elsker forfatterens skrivestil, hvor hun blander stærke følelser, humor og lækre sexede passager.” – The Book I Love ”Kristen Callihan har igen skrevet en historie med karakterer, man hepper på og en himmelsk blanding af konfliktfyldte følelser og rørende scener.” – Fresh Fiction ”VIP er en fantastisk serie. Sammensætningen af humor og følelser gør bøgerne umulige at slippe, og historierne er som skabt til at blive genlæst.” – Relentless Romance

BrennaThere are some people in life who know exactly how to push your buttons. For me, it's Rye Peterson. We can't spend more than ten minutes together before we're at each other's throats, which makes working together that much harder. Rye is the bassist for Kill John, the biggest rock band in the world, and I am his publicist. It doesn't help that the man is gorgeous, funny, talented, and...never takes anything seriously. Avoidance is key. But everything changes when he overhears something he shouldn't: a confession made in a moment of weakness. Now the man I've tried so hard to ignore is offering me the greatest temptation of all-him. RyeBrenna James is the one. The one I can't have. The one I can't get out of my mind. Believe me, I've tried; the woman loathes me. I managed well enough-until I heard her say she's as lonely as I am. That she needed to be touched, held, satisfied. And I could no longer deny the truth: I wanted to be the one to give her what she craved. I convinced her that it would just be physical, mutual satisfaction with nothing deeper. But the moment I have her, she becomes my world. I've never given her a good reason to trust me before. Now, I've got to show Brenna that we're so much better together than we ever were apart.Things are going to get messy. But getting messy with Brenna is what I do best.

From New York Times bestselling author Kristen Callihan comes a charming, emotional romance about redefining dreams and discovering unlikely love along the way. Life for Emma isn’t good. The world knows her as Princess Anya on Dark Castle, but then her character gets the axe—literally. The cherry on top is finding her boyfriend in bed with another woman. She needs a break, and sanctuary comes in the form of Rosemont, a gorgeous estate in California promising rest and relaxation. Then she meets the owner’s equally gorgeous grandson, ex–hockey player and current recluse Lucian Osmond, and she sees her own pain and yearning reflected in his eyes. He’s charming when he wants to be but also secretive and gruff, with protective walls as thick as Emma’s own. Despite a growing attraction, they avoid each other. But then there’s an impromptu nighttime skinny-dip, and Lucian’s luscious homemade tarts and cream cakes start arriving at Emma’s door, tempting her to taste life again… In trying to stay apart, they only grow closer—and their broken pieces just might fit together and make them whole.
