Italian tycoon Luciano De Santis is breathtaking in every way: he has power, success--and a devastating effect on women. Now Luc needs a bride--and he's decided that ordinary Lizzy Hadley will be his wife! He's set his trap and blackmailed her, and he knows she can't refuse him. But there's one condition Luc fails to mention--as his wife, Lizzy must produce an heir!
Sarah Jane Walker was ready to kiss her inheritance goodbye once her greedy stepmother hired security expert Mick Chivers aka the Hell-Raiser. Sexy Mick was bound to figure out that his new assignment wasn't above breaking a few rules or laws in her desperate plan to recover her family legacy. Yet even with the cell door practically slamming, Sarah's knees felt like jelly whenever she looked into Mick's old-soul eyes.
Those baby-blues told her the daredevil was a law unto himself. They said he'd overcome incredible odds to win.
And they dared the smart-mouthed Southern belle to take her best shot and raise a little hell with him!
When a minority race of telepaths is suspected of causing a near-devastating tidal wave, Private Kaylin Neya is summoned to Court--and into a PR nightmare. To ease racial tensions, the emperor has commissioned a play, and the playwright has his own ideas about who should be the focus....
But Kaylin works her best magic behind the scenes, and though she tries to stay neutral, she is again drawn into a world of politics...and murder. To make matters worse, Marcus, her trusted sergeant, gets stripped of his command, leaving Kaylin vulnerable. Now she's juggling two troubling cases, and even magic's looking good by comparison. But then nobody ever said life in the theater was easy....
