Serie Amore Significa...

Rifiutato dal padre e sbattuto fuori di casa, Stone Hillyard ha difficoltà a trovare un riparo dall’inverno del Michigan quando, per un colpo di fortuna, finisce nella fattoria di Geoff Laughton e del suo compagno Eli. I due uomini lo accolgono in casa, lo riscaldano e gli danno un lavoro all’interno del programma di equitazione terapeutica ‘Nessun Limite’.

Un automobilista ubriaco ha reso Preston Harding incapace di camminare e, dopo mesi di duro lavoro, il suo terapista gli raccomanda il programma di Geoff ed Eli. Purtroppo la rabbia e l’arroganza che Preston si porta dentro lo fanno quasi sbattere fuori, ma Stone intercede per lui, nonostante gli insulti ricevuti. È un piccolo gesto di gentilezza che apre gli occhi a Preston.

Stone e Preston si daranno una mano l’un l’altro, affronteranno la disapprovazione delle proprie famiglie e affronteranno vecchi segreti. Impareranno – a volte a proprie spese – come l’amore possa voler dire libertà per entrambi.

Suite de Le Goût du risque
Perspectives, tome 3

Six mois après leur première rencontre au Festival du Goût de Chicago, Lil Lampert et Grier Dilorio vivent ensemble. Leur relation est plus forte que jamais, mais le couple réalise très vite qu’il faut plus que du sexe et trois mots magiques pour réussir une vie à deux.

Comme tout néophyte, Grier doit apprendre à gérer sa nouvelle vie. Il pensait ses problèmes résolus après avoir obtenu la signature de Jillian lui reconnaissant enfin ses droits de père biologique de Luca et l’opportunité de poursuivre une carrière d’architecte d’intérieur.

Alors que leur vie est déjà stressante, Lil et Grier font face à une nouvelle complication : l’intolérance d’une institution aussi puissante que tentaculaire. Luca est en danger. Aussi bien sa sécurité que le bonheur de la petite famille nouvellement constituée dépendront de la parfaite compréhension qu’a Lil de la nature humaine et du désir d’apprendre de Grier.

Behnivyr ‘Ivy’ Erethe knows his duty is to wed another Andari Pure-Blood. Craving one moment of freedom before his loveless bonding, he escapes his father’s suffocating protection and goes to a masquerade ball, only to unexpectedly meet a mysterious Nikari named Kris. Kris makes Ivy ache with a need he barely dares to acknowledge. One kiss, one dance—and Ivy’s life changes forever. Unbeknownst to Ivy, Kris is actually Kristelien Fezenda, the Nikari emperor.

Poorly prepared for the whirlwind of emotion Ivy summons inside him, Kris now faces the hardest battle of his life. In a ruthless world where all weakness is exploited, where allies become enemies in the blink of an eye, where love can mean death, he will have to defeat more than his own personal demons to breach the rift between him and Ivy.
