THE LOOK
OF LOVE
Chloe
Peterson is having a bad night. A really bad night. The large bruise on her
cheek can attest to that. And when her car skids off the side of a wet country
road straight into a ditch, she's convinced even the gorgeous guy who rescues
her in the middle of the rain storm must be too good to be true. Or is he?
As a
successful photographer who frequently travels around the world, Chase Sullivan
has his pick of beautiful women, and whenever he's home in San Francisco, one
of his seven siblings is usually up for causing a little fun trouble. Chase
thinks his life is great just as it is--until the night he finds Chloe and her
totaled car on the side of the road in Napa Valley. Not only has he never met
anyone so lovely, both inside and out, but he quickly realizes she has much
bigger problems than her damaged car. Soon, he is willing to move mountains to
love--and protect--her, but will she let him?
FROM THIS
MOMENT ON
For
thirty-six years, Marcus Sullivan has been the responsible older brother,
stepping in to take care of his seven siblings after their father died when
they were children. But when the perfectly ordered future he's planned for
himself turns out to be nothing but a lie, Marcus needs one reckless night to
shake free from it all.
Nicola
Harding is known throughout the world by only one name - Nico - for her catchy,
sensual pop songs. Only, what no one knows about the twenty-five year old
singer is that her sex-kitten image is totally false. After a terrible betrayal
by a man who loved fame far more than he ever loved her, she vows not to let
anyone else get close enough to find out who she really is...or hurt her again.
Especially not the gorgeous stranger she meets at a nightclub, even though the
hunger - and the sinful promises - in his dark eyes make her want to spill all
her secrets.
CAN’T
HELP FALLING IN LOVE
Gabe
Sullivan risks his life every day as a firefighter in San Francisco. But after
learning a brutal lesson about professional boundaries, he knows better than to
risk his heart to his fire victims ever again. Especially the brave mother and
daughter he saved from a deadly apartment fire...and can't stop thinking about.
Megan
Harris knows she owes the heroic firefighter everything for running into a
burning building to save her and her seven-year-old daughter. Everything except
her heart. Because after losing her navy pilot husband five years ago, she has
vowed to never suffer through loving - and losing - a man with a dangerous job
again.

Excerpt:
Enjoy the following excerpt from THE LOOK OF
LOVE...
Chase almost missed the flickering light off on the
right side of the two-lane country road. In the past thirty minutes, he hadn’t
passed a single car, because on a night like this, most sane Californians—who
didn’t know the first thing about driving safely in inclement weather—stayed
home.
Knowing better than to slam on the brakes—he
wouldn’t be able to help whomever was stranded on the side of the road if he
ended up stuck in the muddy ditch right next to them—Chase slowed down enough
to see that there was definitely a vehicle stuck in the ditch.
He turned his brights on to see better in the
pouring rain and realized there was a person walking along the edge of the road
about a hundred yards up ahead. Obviously hearing his car approach, she turned
to face him and he could see her long wet hair whipping around her shoulders in
his headlights.
Wondering why she wasn’t just sitting in her car,
dry and warm, calling Triple A and waiting for them to come save her, he pulled
over to the edge of his lane and got out to try and help her. She was shivering
as she watched him approach.
"Are you hurt?"
She covered her cheek with one hand, but shook her
head. "No."
He had to move closer to hear her over the sound of
the water hitting the pavement in what were rapidly becoming hailstones. Even
though he’d turned his headlights off, as his eyes quickly adjusted to the
darkness, he was able to get a better look at her face.
Something inside of Chase’s chest clenched tight.
Despite the long, dark hair plastered to her head
and chest, regardless of the fact that looking like a drowned rat wasn’t too
far off the descriptive mark, her beauty stunned him.
In an instant, his photographer’s eye cataloged her
features. Her mouth was a little too big, her eyes a little too wide-set on her
face. She wasn’t even close to model thin, but given the way her T-shirt and
jeans stuck to her skin, he could see that she wore her lush curves well. In
the dark he couldn’t judge the exact color of her hair, but it looked like
silk, perfectly smooth and straight where it lay over her breasts.
It wasn’t until Chase heard her say, "My car
is definitely hurt, though," that he realized he had completely lost the
thread of what he’d come out here to do.
Knowing he’d been drinking her in like he was dying
of thirst, he worked to recover his balance. He could already see he’d been
right about her car. It didn’t take a mechanic like his brother, Zach, who
owned an auto shop—more like forty, but Chase had stopped counting years ago—to
see that her shitty hatchback was borderline totaled. Even if the front bumper
wasn’t half smashed to pieces by the white farm fence she’d slid into, her bald
tires weren’t going to get any traction on the mud. Not tonight, anyway.
If her car had been in a less precarious situation,
he probably would have sent her to hang out in her car while he took care of getting it unstuck. But one
of her back tires was hanging precariously over the edge of the ditch.
He jerked his thumb over his shoulder. "Get in
my car. We can wait there for a tow truck." He was vaguely aware of his
words coming out like an order, but the hail was starting to sting, damn it.
Both of them needed to get out of the rain before they froze.
But the woman didn’t move. Instead, she gave him a
look that said he was a complete and utter nut-job.
"I’m not getting into your car."
Realizing just how frightening it must be for a
lone woman to end up stuck and alone in the middle of a dark road, Chase took a
step back from her. He had to speak loudly enough for her to hear him over the
hail.
"I’m not going to attack you. I swear I won’t
do anything to hurt you."
She all but flinched at the word attack and Chase’s
radar started buzzing. He’d never been a magnet for troubled women, wasn’t the
kind of guy who thrived on fixing wounded birds. But living with two sisters
for so many years meant he could always tell when something was up.
And something was definitely up with this woman,
beyond the fact that her car was half-stuck in a muddy ditch.
Wanting to make her feel safe, he held his hands
up. "I swear on my father’s grave, I’m not going to hurt you. It’s okay to
get into my car." When she didn’t immediately say no again, he pressed his
advantage with, "I just want to help you." And he did. More than it
made sense to want to help a stranger. "Please," he said. "Let
me help you."
She stared at him for a long moment, hail hammering
between them, around them, onto them. Chase found himself holding his breath,
waiting for her decision. It shouldn’t matter to him what she decided.
But, for some strange reason, it did.
