While everyone around us was having fun, somewhere between the fourth and fifth cucumber-tonic I felt someone’s gaze on my neck. Joanna kept telling me that Mark Figaro was eyeing me from the moment I passed through the doors. I didn’t really like the guy, I remember. The hockey type, with wide shoulders, evasive jaw and tiny eyes with no personality. During the entire night, he entertained the crowd by displaying his parents’ wealth, which sickened me. No, it wasn’t only his gaze that was itching. There was a sort of optical love triangle going on, stoking up the atmosphere of an already heated college havoc. A triangle between me, Mark Figaro and one mysterious fellow who was standing in the corner of the room all alone: Robert Catano.

The following day was spent in bed. No classes on Saturday, only a mountain of homework, but it had to wait. I was too nauseous to move, my brain too cluttered to focus on the multicellular organisms and double-membrane-bound organelle.

I thought about Mark, how furious I was, praying that his underage pecker would fall off. My skin still smelled of alcohol. Of guilt, too, even though I knew I was not guilty. As always, I was trapped in my own lack of experience, wishing I was older, much older than I was...

I was one of the toughest players on ice -- until she melted my heart.

Like most hockey players I went through the one-and-done puck bunny phase.
I knew what my smile did to women and I had no problem using it against them.
But Elyse is different.
Something in her past pushes everyone away, yet she feels safe when she’s with me.
She’s gorgeous and I can’t forget her curves or how she comes alive with my touch.
I’m learning that I can’t deal with problems in real life the way I handle them on the ice.
I’m determined to win her. It’s hard, but with Elyse, I’m playing for keeps.

He’s the best bad decision I ever made.
It was only one night.
A business trip.
City lights and passion.
Intense.
Impossible.
He’s my boss.

Too bad I can’t forget the night we spent together in Paris.
It’s hard enough on my own, dealing with my needy sister and pretending I don’t have feelings for Toby.
My genius, alpha male boss with the piercing eyes and rock-hard abs.
We acted like it never happened.

The one who’s coming after me.

Insane? Or insanely tempting?

My ex is dangerous. My sister is falling for him, but he’s out to get me.
My life is at risk, and my boss, my lover,—he can never find out.
Because my fake husband is going to be a real daddy.
No matter what it costs me, I’ll keep our baby safe. I’ll never tell him the truth.
He’s the only man I’ll ever love.

He deserves more than a hot mess with a crazy ex and a secret baby.
I’ll never regret what we meant to each other. I’ll cherish our child.

A young doctor who wants nothing to do with a drool-worthy, cocky player.

She’s his doctor, the last woman he should fall for. But…he’s never been one to play by the rules.

Liam Reed is just a little bit cranky. On the heels of a crushing loss for his team back in Britain, he finds himself signed to a US team. A potentially career ending injury lands him in the hospital where he takes one look at Olivia Bowen, the renowned surgeon assigned to make him good as new, and decides he must have her.

Olivia Bowen is an overachiever of the worst sort. Straight-A student – check. Bordering on crazy anxious because of always trying to be perfect at everything – check. Well, perfect at anything to do with being a doctor and an utter disaster at most everything else.

The last thing she needs is the pressure to get him back on the field with nothing less than a perfect recovery. Even worse, she can hardly be in the same room with him because her body goes haywire. Liam is powerfully drawn to the challenge Olivia offers, yet neither of them is prepared for their hearts getting in on the action.

Playing ball is easy.

Falling in love is complicated.

Sydney Evans is no stranger to hard work. It’s the one constant in her life. And with no family or friends to speak of it’s been easy to pour everything she has into her career as general counsel for Blackstone Holdings.

She wants for nothing. Until her boss offers her a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. All she has to do in return is marry his good-for-nothing son.

Scott Blackstone used be a party whore. Pardon, party animal. He hasn’t been that guy in a long time though. Not since he moved to Wyoming, bought a failing cattle ranch, and turned it into a profitable business.

All is good. Until a phone call from his father threatens the quiet, simple life he’s built. Marry or lose everything. And to a woman who can’t stand him, no less. Well, Scott is not going down without a fight. He’s never going back to Manhattan. Not if he can help it.

Arranged marriages to awful men, for example.

Miss Grace Beaumont is at the mercy of her uncle who is determined she marry the depraved Mr. Worthington. Desperate times call for…well, the Kidnap Club.

It seems insane. Perhaps it is. But anything is better than being married to that man.

Lord Nash Fitzroy has looked after many a kidnapee over the past few years, but none make him want to break the cardinal rules as much as Grace. Her determined spirit, quick wit, and, let’s be honest, her pretty looks have him struggling to remember his role in this.

Protector, defender, and occasional shoulder to cry on.

His way with women and the almost derelict offerings of his ancestral home as a hideaway make him a perfect pretend kidnapper. He doesn’t much mind the money involved either, seeing as his father cut him off.

Which means, he cannot afford to get this wrong. No matter how tempted he is to show Grace that Worthington is not a prime example of how a man should be and burn the damned rule book.If one is very, extremely desperate, then one may call on the services of a clandestine group of men.

What girl hasn't always dreamed of being a princess?

Some quizzes will tell you what your inner Pokemon or perfect Hogwarts House is. Wouldn't you rather have a Billionaire Book Boyfriend instead?

Take The Billionaire Quiz, a new book concept from Blair Babylon, with over 1000 pages of book boyfriends just for you!

Inside, you'll answer a few fun multiple-choice questions (How do you like it? How many ways do you like it? Just how naughty are you?), and the quiz will match you to your very own billionaire book boyfriend and a book about him, just for you!

And then, when you're in a different mood, take the quiz again because life's too short for just one billionaire book boyfriend.

Which Billionaire Book Boyfriend will be your match?

Wulf von Hannover - the original sapphire-eyed, blond Billionaire in Disguise, who runs the Devilhouse nightclub and has a royal secret that even he's hiding from. Probably the most refined and cosmopolitan of the billionaire boyfriends, he also kind of rules the world, but quietly.

Casimir van Amsberg - popular, tattooed, and ripped entertainment attorney to the stars with a thousand celebrity friends (and exs,) but with emerald-green eyes only for you.

Arthur Finch-Hatten, Lord Severn - the hard-partying, British Earl of Severn with an MI-6 secret. Born with silver eyes and a silver spoon in his mouth, this Englishman likes to keep pets. He has a very badly behaved puppy, too.

Theo Valencia - This tall County District Attorney is on his way up in politics. Way, way up. His hobbies include boxing and sheltering you from the bad guys chasing you. Also, if you squint at his four-poster bed, you can see where the ropes go.

Alexandre, Duke de Valentinois - a towering European nobleman and a rock star. Don't let his sane, refined persona fool you. He's neither of those. Probably the most dangerous billionaire in the world. Might have killed a man when he was a teenager.

Raphael Mirabaud - Goes by another name, for now, but he's handy with every weapon ever made. When the going gets rough, this tall, Swiss bodyguard will jump in front of the woman he loves, take the bullet, and shoot the assailant.

Mathonwy, Duke Draco - six feet, six inches of burly muscle and golden-eyed competence, when he's in his human form. A billionaire book boyfriend for readers who truly want to walk on the wild side and fly there, too.

Maxence Grimaldi - This tall, lean, dark-eyed royal is hiding a thousand secrets. If you're matched with him, you'll discover one.
