Forbidden To The Powerful Greek - Carol Marinelli

The Greek’s rule: she needs to make the first move...

The secret to Galen Pallas’s success is his laser-sharp focus. And young widow Roula Drakos is disruption personified! Most disruptive of all is their smouldering attraction — which he can’t act on when he hires her as his temporary PA!

Roula’s worked hard to put her marriage behind her. Intimacy isn’t something she ever wants again. Yet, swept into her boss’s glamorous world she’s never felt so safe, or desired. Can this shy Cinderella be bold enough to tempt Galen to take the ultimate risk — on her?

Bound As His Business-Deal Bride - Kali Anthony

His revenge will only be complete... once she’s wearing his ring!

To save her family’s company, CEO Eve Chevalier must accept a takeover bid from her rival, Gage Caron. She broke off their hidden relationship seven years ago, so she’s fully prepared for him to drive a hard bargain! Only there’s one term that isn’t up for negotiation... Eve must pose as Gage’s fiancée!

Gage needs to rehabilitate his company’s image, and the way he sees it, Eve owes him. The white-hot chemistry that burns amid their passionate charade? That was never meant to be part of the deal...

The Billionaire’s Virgin Temptation - Michelle Conder

An untouched Cinderella... until his irresistible seduction!

For Ruby Clarkson, a lavish masquerade ball is the perfect opportunity to forget her shy innocence and become someone else for the night. She’s stunned when billionaire Sam Ventura sweeps her from the dancefloor into an anonymous seduction that’s red-hot magic! But when Ruby realises her incognito hero is her new boss, and they’re stranded together for a weekend, Sam’s forbidden touch could be powerful enough to unravel Ruby forever...

About the Author

Carol Marinelli recently filled in a form asking for her job title. Thrilled to be able to put down her answer, she put writer. Then it asked what Carol did for relaxation and she put down the truth - writing. The third question asked for her hobbies. Well, not wanting to look obsessed she crossed the fingers on her hand and answered swimming but, given that the chlorine in the pool does terrible things to her highlights - I'm sure you can guess the real answer. From as far back as she can remember Michelle Conder dreamed of being a writer. She penned the first chapter of a romance novel just out of high school, but it took much study, many (varied) jobs, one ultra-understanding husband and three gorgeous children before she finally sat down to turn that dream into a reality. Michelle lives in Australia, and when she isn’t busy plotting she loves to read, ride horses, travel and practise yoga. Visit Michelle: www.michelleconder.com When Kali Anthony read her first romance she realised a few truths; that there can never be too many happy endings, and that one day she'd write them herself. After marrying her own tall, dark and handsome hero in a perfect friends-to-lovers romance, Kali penned her first story. If she isn't battling her cat for access to the keyboard, you can find her wearing vintage clothes, gardening or bushwalking with her husband and children in the rainforests of South-East Queensland.
