    • Maggie hasn’t told this story in years. More than two decades ago, she fell in love. She was sixteen and far from home, waiting to give her baby up for adoption. Bryce showed Maggie how to take photographs and he didn’t judge her for the way her belly swelled under her jumper. They had the perfect first kiss. Theirs was a once-in-a-lifetime kind of love.Now, as Maggie sits by the Christmas tree in her gallery telling her story, surrounded by the photographs that made her famous – the photographs Bryce never saw – her new gallery assistant asks her a question. If she had one wish, what would she wish for this Christmas?Maggie always thought she knew the answer to that question. But before she can say ‘I’d go back to that winter with Bryce’, she stops herself. It is all she has ever wanted but suddenly here, on this dark night under the twinkling stars, there is something else she wants...

      Fiers, généreux, artistes dans l’âme, les O’Hurley forment une famille exceptionnelle. Une famille forte et unie, où chacun peut exprimer son individualité. Une famille au passé tumultueux et riche. De leurs parents irlandais, Chantel et Trace ont hérité le talent, la volonté, la passion. Actrice connue dans le monde entier, Chantel est bien décidée à protéger sa vie privée, et jusqu’à présent, elle est toujours parvenue à se tenir à l’écart des admirateurs trop pressants. Mais quand un étrange individu se met à la harceler, elle n’a d’autre choix que d’engager un garde du corps et de supporter sa présence, jour… et nuit. Trace quant à lui, alors qu'il se trouve au Mexique, se voit aborder par une belle inconnue visiblement paniquée qui lui demande son aide pour sauver sa famille en danger. Il n’ose pas refuser : la jeune femme ne prétend-elle pas avoir connu Charles Forrester, son meilleur ami récemment décédé ? Avec son accent irlandais et ses yeux verts, elle le trouble et réveille en lui le souvenir des racines avec lesquelles il a rompu des années plus tôt

      Three People With Something to Hide. One Killer With Nothing to Lose.

      When Atlanta police detective Michael Ormewood is called out to a murder scene at the notorious Grady Homes, he finds himself faced with one of the the most brutal killings of his career: Aleesha Monroe is found in the stairwell in a pool of her own blood, her body horribly mutilated. As a one-off killing it's shocking, but when it becomes clear that it's just the latest in a series of similar attacks, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation are called in, and Michael is forced into working with Special Agent Will Trent of the Criminal Apprehension Team - a man he instinctively dislikes. Twenty-four hours later, the violence Michael sees around him every day explodes in his own back yard. And it seems the mystery behind Monroe's death is inextricably entangled with a past that refuses to stay buried ...

      The pleasure of your company is requested at the wedding of Miss Eliza Cynster . . . but not until she’s rescued from a daring abduction by the most unexpected of heroes! Brazenly kidnapped from her sister Heather’s engagement ball, Eliza Cynster is spirited north to Edinburgh. Desperate and determined to escape, she seizes upon the first possible champion who happens along— gentleman scholar Jeremy Carling. Villains and rescues are a far cry from Jeremy’s expertise, yet he cannot abandon a damsel in distress. But danger lurks and hurdles abound in their race to escape the mysterious laird, until a final confrontation on a windswept cliff reveals what their future life could hold— if both are bold enough to capture and own the unexpected love they now share.
