Innocent Until His Forbidden Touch - Carol Marinelli

A promise of pleasure... neither can deny!

PR pro Beatrice Taylor’s brief is simple — clean up playboy prince Julius’s image before he becomes king. A challenge made infinitely more complicated by the heat she feels for her scandalous, off-limits client! For the first time, innocent Beatrice wants to give in to wild temptation...

Julius’s royal duty doesn’t leave room for private desire. Discovering what lies beyond Beatrice’s impenetrable emotional walls shouldn’t be his priority, but she fascinates him. And one stolen moment presents Julius with an impossible choice: his kingdom or the woman he can’t live without!

Cinderella’s Royal Seduction - Dani Collins

His until midnight. Will she wear his crown?

Sopi is exhausted! With Prince Rhys Charlemaine staying nearby, the luxury spa she calls home is overflowing with aspiring princesses! It’s frantic...until working all hours leads to a late-night encounter with charismatic Rhys himself...

Untouched Sopi gives herself one chance to feel like a princess in Rhys’s arms. She knows it cannot go further, until Rhys stuns her with his convenient proposal! He promises exquisite pleasure, but Sopi has seen the man behind his royal mask — dare she believe he wants her for more than desire?

Reclaimed For His Royal Bed - Maya Blake

They’re fooling the world but their attraction doesn’t lie!

For over a year, King Lucca has been haunted by the disappearance of Delphine Alexander from his life and bed. Having tracked her down, he can finally lay his family’s scandalous past to rest...if she agrees to his plan.

Delphie needs Lucca’s help to save her car racing team, but the cost is high. A month playing the golden couple for the cameras will see them hurtling towards an inevitable, fiery clash — as she’s set alight by his touch and comes closer to revealing the explosive reason why she left...

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. Maya Blake's writing dream started at 13. She eventually realised her dream when she received The Call in 2012. Maya lives in England with her husband, kids and an endless supply of books. Contact Maya: www.mayabauthor.blogspot.com www.twitter.com/mayablake www.facebook.com/maya.blake.94 When Canadian Dani Collins found romance novels in high school she immediately wondered how one trained for such an awesome job. She began writing, trying various genres, but always came back to her first love, Harlequin Presents. Often distracted by family and "real" jobs, she continued writing, inspired by the romance message that if you hang in there you'll reach a happy ending. In May of 2012, Harlequin offered to buy her manuscript in a two-book deal. She is living happily ever after.
