Book Description
They called him Stone Cold. Once upon a time, I called him my pen pal. When I wrote to Callum Rose five years ago, I never expected a response. He was an up and coming rock star, afterall, and I was just a shy seventeen-year-old. He did write back though, and through hundreds of emails, we became best friends. Until the day we unknowingly broke each other's heart. It's been three years since our last email. I'm all grown up with a new job at Good Music, and finally have my act together. But then Callum Rose walks in the door, and I'm instantly thrown back to the days when he meant everything to me. The thing is...he doesn't know who I am. He's never seen my face. And this Callum Rose lives up to his stone cold reputation. That is, until one night, he sees me in another man's arms, and decides to claim me. Then there is nothing cold about him. Callum becomes a man on fire for me, introverted, awkward, chubby Wren Anderson. He's obsessive, possessive, and kind of stalker-y-and I like it...a little too much. The problem is, he still doesn't know I'm the girl who walked away from him or the reason behind it, and I'm afraid when he finds out, I'll be right back in the cold again.

Apologies for the Inconvenience Caused

Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 418
Book Description
I am Dominic Bannister, and this is my story, largely based on the diary my court-ordered anger management therapist asked me to keep. At the start of it, I had everything: a successful career, a beautiful wife, two sons whom I adored... and, alas, a hair-trigger temper. Juggling relationships, work and family commitments, business travel, house move and other aspects of what goes by the innocuous term 'daily life' was already driving me mad. Add to that unreliable builders, incompetent IT suppliers, unhelpful banking staff, you name it, and inevitably my proverbial cup would soon be running over. (I ask you: faced with all that, who wouldn't find themselves in the middle of an anti-capitalist riot with a Molotov cocktail in their hand?) All I ever wanted was very simple: straight answers, accurate information, a modicum of consideration, and an apology when things went wrong. But to get any of that, I clearly had to change my approach completely...

"You're perfect for this job, Claire. He won't want to sleep with you. You're not his...type." Dominic Cantrell has been famous almost as long as I've been alive, but he remains a dark, volatile mystery. I know why I was hired to handle Dominic's PR while he's on tour. It's not because of my experience-I have next to none. It's because I'm safe. Plain, quiet, shy, with more-than-ample curves, I won't distract him. What I didn't count on was Dominic distracting me instead. I shouldn't be so drawn to him. He's too old for me, too closed-off, and definitely too angry, but I've been a good girl for far too long. Why can't I be just a little bit bad, especially when my rock star fantasy is so willing to corrupt me? Our fling has an expiration date at the end of the tour. No strings, no feelings, no heartbreak when it's over. I tell myself I won't fall. But I don't know if I'm built that way.

When Shelley first met Greg, her life had been full of possibility. A whirlwind romance, a dream wedding, moving into their first house together, thinking about starting a family... But now it's ten years since their wedding. Greg has gone. And there's a room in the house where Shelley has shut a baby blanket away.

Of a marriage that perhaps hadn't been perfect. Of a life that hadn't gone the way she had expected. She's been managing to hide from her past. Every day she acts like everything is normal. Going to work and following a routine helps her pretend the bad stuff never happened. Until one day, everything changes. She sees the couple moving in next door, giggling as they walk up the path to their new home. The woman is pregnant. It's like she has everything that Shelley has lost.
