I've always hated Marcus Colter. I have since high school. We antagonize each other every time we meet, and I thought our dislike was mutual, until he ends up saving my life on a suicide mission to rescue me from my captors, men who would have killed me if not for Marcus. Everything that happens after that successful, crazy, and dangerous mission confuses me.

What happens when a woman falls in love with her stalker? I'm not the type of woman who actually inspires passion in any guy, much less one who makes it a habit to watch me because he's obsessed.

Lauren: Graham is my brother's best friend. He's always been my protector and my confident because he accepts me the way I am - and not many do. I can't imagine not having him in my life. Our weekend together was supposed to be a celebration. I graduated from college, Graham got engaged and signed with a pro football team, and my brother landed his dream job.

Da der attraktive und sinnliche Milliardär Grady Sinclair sich in seiner Villa auf einer privaten Halbinsel absondert, wird er von den Einwohnern von Amesport, Maine, ein exzentrisches Biest genannt. Doch diese Tatsache stört ihn kaum – bis eine bescheidene Frau an seiner Tür klingelt und mit ihrer Furchtlosigkeit seine schon lange ruhende Leidenschaft weckt. In ihm regt sich nur noch der Wunsch, diese feurige Blonde für immer zu besitzen.

Es ist bereits ein Jahr her, seitdem Brooke es geschafft hat, in die friedliebende Küstengemeinde von Amesport in Maine zu flüchten, wo niemand ihren richtigen Namen kennt und keiner weiß, was sie durchgemacht hat. Doch nun kehrt sie endlich ins heimische Kalifornien zurück. Das bedeutet allerdings, dass sie sich von Liam Sullivan verabschieden muss, ihrem millionenschweren, göttlichen, blonden Chef, der jede einzelne ihrer Fantasien erfüllt hat – wenn auch nur in ihren Träumen.

Der ehemalige Rockstar Xander Sinclair mag vielleicht die Reha hinter sich gebracht haben, aber über den Berg ist er noch lange nicht. Da er immer noch von den Morden seiner Eltern heimgesucht wird, hat er sich in sein großes Haus in Amesport zurückgezogen und verweigert jeglichen Kontakt mit seinen Brüdern. Es fällt ihm schwer, nicht rückfällig zu werden, da er glaubt, in seinem Kampf gegen seine Dämonen allein zu sein. Zumindest ist das der Fall, bis Samantha ihre Stelle als Haushälterin bei ihm antritt.

Da sie sowohl als medizinisch-technische Assistentin arbeitet und ebenfalls in der Kneipe ihrer Eltern aushilft, hat Kristin nur wenig Freizeit. Daher nimmt Julian sie mit zur Hochzeit seines Bruders nach Las Vegas, wo ihre gegenseitige Anziehung schließlich die Hauptrolle übernehmen kann.

Der zierliche blonde Wirbelwind, Besitzerin eines Restaurants in einer kleinen Küstenstadt in Maine, ist der mutigste Mensch, den er je kennengelernt hat, und er will sie in seinem Bett haben. Nun muss er nur noch Tessa davon überzeugen, dass sie diese Leidenschaft teilt.
