It's easy to fall in love with a McCain, but it isn't always easy to keep one. Four books, the whole family in one set!  EVER AFTER DRAKE   He’s not complicated--a high school history teacher, just like me. He’s sweet and kind and insanely adorable, and comes from a wonderful family. He is everything I want. The chemistry between us? It’s there in spades. I keep telling myself that I should be feeling really awful and depressed since I just got dumped a few days ago. But I keep getting this ridiculous smile on my face every time Drake is around and it’s kind of hard to keep telling myself that. I’m Kaylee Ray. I believe in fairy tales and happily ever after’s, and maybe the search for Prince Charming is over.  MOMENTS OF JULIAN   I never expected to see Julian again after a random, hot make out session in the back of my car. But suddenly Julian Dohring is everywhere. And I can’t get over the endless tattoos that cover his arms, how he’s apparently a recovering video game addict, and dresses like he’s ready to walk down the red carpet at any moment. My attitude and pride have always been enough to keep any man from getting too interested. Until Julian…who claims I can’t dance, and has the nerve to call me a “peach.” I’m Sage McCain, and needless to say, Julian has my attention.  DEPTHS OF LAKE   It was another day at the ranch, training horses and working fifteen hour days. And then the last person I ever expected showed up. Lake McCain: a Marine, tall, ripped—and the best friend of my dead fiancé. Cal died to save Lake, and now Lake claims that he carries a debt to me that he can never repay. Now we work together, spend endless days, side by side, and I can't deny there's something between us. I’m Riley James, and there are depths to Lake—depths to myself—that I don’t think I’ll ever fully understand.  PLAYING IT KALE   That night, I met someone who changed my life forever. Kale McCain. World-famous model, ladies’ man, not a flaw to him. And the most unexpected thing happened—sparks flew. Everything about Kale is smooth: his attitude, his voice, his body… He is my polar opposite. But somehow, him—me, we work. Then there was the video he made. Us together, me singing, him grinning like I was the sun, moon, and stars. And my simple life exploded. I’m Whitney Ford, and from the second Kale McCain walked into my life, I knew it would never be the same.  THE McCAIN SAGA: Beautiful, romantic, dramatic, intense...and always PG-13.   |

What a girl wants… Miss Viola Darling always gets what she wants. Always. And what she wants more than anything is to marry James Kilbrenner, the Earl of Tannenbrook. She’s fallen hard for the giant, taciturn, surly brute, and she positively will have no other. The problem? He’s not interested. Not even a little. But Viola cannot afford to lose. And she has her heart set on James. If only he will bend to a bit of persuasion. Is an earl like no other… James Kilbrenner knows how determined the entirely-too-beautiful Miss Darling can be—the daft woman cornered him at a perfectly respectable dinner and mangled his cravat before he could escape. He has no desire to marry, less desire to be pursued, and will certainly not kiss her kissable lips until they are both breathless, no matter how tempted he may be. And only the right one will do… Thrown in her path by a meddling marchioness, James finds himself under sensual siege from a tiny, flirtatious sprite who puts both his heart and his vow to remain unwed at risk. And when scandal looms, he learns the hard way that a man can resist only so long before the indomitable Miss Darling gets her way. |

They should be over each other. For two years, Olivia has served her ex-husband coffee at the diner where she works, and waited for her heart to catch up to her brain. Because they were divorced now, and for good reasons. He wasn’t ever going to change. He’d always be a cop first, a soldier second, and a husband third, when there was time. Rafe didn’t believe in love at first sight until he met Olivia, and then he was a goner. They’d been too young, too reckless, but that hadn’t stopped him from bringing her home to Pine Harbour, where there was nothing for her to do while he saved the world. Then it all fell apart. And now… He never stopped loving his wife, but he let her go when it became clear he wasn’t what she needed. She deserves more than a part-time lover who once broke her heart. Rafe wants a second chance to prove he can be the man she wanted when they fell in love. And Olivia still wants Rafe despite all the excellent reasons why she shouldn’t. They should be over each other…but they aren’t. |

My name is Hemy Knox and I’m a f*****g heartbreaker . . . I’ve hurt the one person that means the most to me in life; the only woman I have ever f*****g loved. I let the drugs, alcohol and wild life take over; consume me. I got her where I wanted her and ripped her f*****g heart out. Since then, I’ve spent countless nights having dirty, meaningless sex with a multitude of people; only leaving them wanting and begging for more with no regrets. Some may even call me the devil; soulless. They look and judge, but there is one thing they don’t know; no one does. I want more than this life of stripping and sleeping around; the never ending party. I want love and everything that comes with it; that high that never ends. The problem is . . . I only want it with her. Onyx. She refuses to be mine . . . again. She’s smart and it’s a mother f*****g pain in my ass; guarding her heart while ripping mine right out of my chiseled chest. I can’t say that I blame her. I always was a dumb ass when it came to the emotions of a woman, especially her. She wants to see me suffer as much as I made her; watch me wither and f*****g die at her feet. She wants to crush me until I’m no longer breathing and I will let her, because it hurts far less than not having her as mine. I will stop at nothing to make her mine again.

Dès que j’ai vu ma porte de sortie, je l’ai prise. Je suis rentrée à New York et j’essaye de refaire ma vie. Malgré le mouchard dans ma cheville, Crow n’est pas parti à ma recherche. Il ne m’a même pas appelée. Je lui ai avoué l’ampleur de mes émotions, mais il m’a rejetée de façon cruelle. Peut-être qu’il m’a oubliée. Un jour, je rentre chez moi et j’aperçois une pile de boutons sur le comptoir. Ce n’est pas moi qui les ai laissés là  ; il n’y a qu’une seule explication pour leur présence. Peut-être que Crow ne m’a pas oubliée après tout. |

Une gamine qu’on a empêchée d’être mère. Un homme qu’on a obligé à devenir père. *** L’insolent lève un bras robuste et pointe son doigt vers une destination approximative au bout de la plage. J’ai du mal à regarder autre chose que son épaule puissante moulée sous son polo, sa manche qui s’arrête juste à la lisière d’un muscle tendu, la peau bronzée de son avant-bras.  – Vous êtes censée regarder au bout de mon doigt, me rappelle-t-il à l’ordre.  – Et vous étiez censé m’accompagner en repérage, rétorqué-je. Pas jouer les GPS. Il me fixe un instant, passe la main dans ses cheveux en soupirant.  – J’ai un métier prenant. Un enfant à élever. Et beaucoup d’engagements à tenir. Je déteste le temps perdu. – Pas autant que moi, murmuré-je pour moi-même en repensant à ces cinq dernières années loin de Willow. – Je n’ai pas entendu. – Je vous attends, moi ! répété-je en haussant la voix comme si je parlais à un vieillard sénile. Le visage de Lennon affiche un parfait mélange d’agacement et d’amusement, puis il part devant, en levant au ciel ses yeux couleur nuage. Couleur océan. Couleur orage.  J’adore le provoquer. Il ne marche pas, il court. Et je le regarde faire… parce qu’il est d’une beauté incroyable, en courant. *** Petite dernière d’un empire de la mode, Calliopé décide de s’affranchir d’un père abusif et tout-puissant pour retrouver son enfant, qu’on l’a forcée à abandonner des années plus tôt.

Mais c’est son présent qui vacille et son futur qui surgit quand elle rencontre enfin Willow, une curieuse petite fille de cinq ans qui est bien la sienne. Seul obstacle à leurs retrouvailles : le père adoptif de Willow, Lennon Hathaway, bien trop beau pour être vrai, trop riche pour être honnête, trop solitaire pour lui faire une place dans sa vie et trop méfiant pour croire en elle. Et pourtant, dans ses yeux verts, elle jurerait avoir vu une lueur d’humanité. Peut-être même autre chose, un sentiment qu’elle n’espérait plus… *** Âmes indociles , d’Emma M. Green, volume 5 sur 6 |

Find out in Gansett Island Episode 2: Kevin & Chelsea where you’ll also hear about Big Mac’s latest business venture and have a visit with the Gansett Island characters you’ve come to love! About the Gansett Island Episodes…  From Marie: My fictional island has become such a huge part of my life—and yours—over these last six years, and I’ve created so many characters who speak to me between books and during the writing of new ones. I can’t possibly give them all a new story in every book, but I still have so much to say about them. With that in mind, I’ll be launching a new “Gansett Island Episodes” series in 2017, featuring shorter stories about past characters who readers love and want more of. Mixed in with these episodes will be at least one full-length book a year. So we’ll have plenty more from our favorite island, with new stories for past characters as well as all-new stories, too. I’m looking forward to this new adventure and hope you’ll take the ferry to Gansett for the new episodes!
