Люси Скоур — новинки

Hazel is given a one-two punch when she's forced to move out of her Upper East Side apartment and is given a final warning from her publisher.

If she doesn't turn in a book by her next deadline, they're cutting her loose.

Hazel rashly decides to leave what's left of her city life behind and impulse buys a house in rural Pennsylvania sight unseen. How better to entertain the loyal readers she still has and rediscover her writing mojo than immersing herself in small-town life?

Too bad this town looks to be on its last legs. At least she's finding swoon-worthy inspiration from her hot, grumpy contractor Cam and his animal-rescuing, community-involved family. It's all just research. What could go wrong?

Хороші хлопці ніколи не западають на поганих дівчат

Неш завжди був для всіх «хорошим братом Морґаном», усміхненим і люб’язним. Проте зараз шеф поліції відновлюється після поранення, і його південний шарм потьмянів через панічні атаки та кошмари. Він нікому не розказує, що з ним коїться.

Проте нова сусідка, розумна й зваблива Ліна, бачить, що над молодшим Морґаном згущається морок. Зазвичай вона уникає фізичного контакту, — якщо тільки не вона його ініціює, — та на Нешеві дотики чомусь реагує інакше. Між ними виникає сильний зв’язок, який дасть Нешеві нову опору в житті, а Ліну змусить поставити під сумнів свої принципи.

На жаль, у Ліни теж є свої секрети, і якщо Неш дізнається справжню причину її приїзду в Нокмаут, він їй нізащо не пробачить.

Крім того, Ліна ніколи не заводить серйозних стосунків. Ніколи. Короткий романчик з місцевим копом? О, таке залюбки! Стосунки з чоловіком, який сподівається, що Ліна осяде на одному місці? Та нізащо! Щойно вона здобуває бажане — все, шукай вітра в полі. Але Нокмаут непомітно полонить серця. І якщо Неш вирішить завоювати Ліну, то вже не відступить… навіть перед лицем смертельної небезпеки.

Can these opposites turn up the heat . . . without burning down the house?
House-flipping sensation Maggie Nichols can’t wait to dig into her next challenge: a crumbling Victorian mansion in a tiny American town. With only four months to do it, Maggie has her to-do lists, her blueprints and her team. What she doesn’t have is time for sexy, laid-back landscaper Silas Wright.
The man takes flirtation to a whole new level. And he does it shirtless . . . He’s impressively persistent. But Maggie’s not interested in putting down roots. A short-term fling on the other hand could fit nicely into her calendar.
As their summer gets downright steamy, Silas manages to demolish the emotional walls Maggie’s spent years building, sending her into a panic. He’s the wrench in her carefully constructed plans. With the end of the project looming, Maggie has a decision to make. But how can she stay when her entire career is built on moving on?
Maybe the mansion isn’t the only thing due a revamp: her heart has been long neglected.

There's only one thing standing in the way of Cat King saving a small town's Christmas festival: Grumpy town manager Noah Yates.

Single dad Noah takes his responsibilities seriously. When a late season hurricane turns Merry, Connecticut, into a disaster, he's left scrambling to pick up the pieces of the town he loves.

At least, until home renovation expert and smoking hot reality TV star Catalina King arrives with a camera crew and a budget big enough to put the town back together again. But Noah doesn't want a celebrity diva capitalizing on their tragedy or filling his daughter's head with visions of glitz and glam.

Blonde bombshell Cat is used to being underestimated, but Noah has an uncanny knack for getting under her skin. They can't be in a room together without rubbing each other the wrong way...except that time in the dark alley where the rubbing was just right. Can these enemies work together to pull off a Christmas miracle or will their fighting leave them both on the naughty list?

„To, co zostaje w nas na zawsze” – pierwszy tom serii Knockemout – to gorący romans dla dorosłych, który zachwyca między innymi ciętym humorem oraz niepowtarzalnym klimatem. Bestseller „New York Timesa”, viral TikToka, miejsce na topce Amazonu oraz nominacja w kategorii „romans” na Goodreads Choice Awards.
Knox lubi pić kawę w swoim własnym towarzystwie i tak samo spędza życie: samotnie. Jedyny wyjątek stanowi jego basset hound Waylon. Knox nie toleruje dram, zwłaszcza gdy przybierają postać niedoszłej panny młodej, która uciekła sprzed ołtarza.
Naomi znalazła się w jego orbicie nie tylko dlatego, że zwiała ze ślubnego kobierca. Chciała pomóc dawno niewidzianej siostrze bliźniaczce. Tak znalazła się w Knockemout – przaśnym, prowincjonalnym miasteczku w Wirginii, w którym nieporozumienia rozwiązuje się w staromodny sposób… za pomocą pięści i piwa. Zwykle właśnie w tej kolejności.
Na nieszczęście dla Naomi jej nieprzystosowana społecznie siostra nie zmieniła się ani na jotę. Przywłaszczywszy sobie samochód bliźniaczki, Tina zostawia jej niespodziankę. Siostrzenicę, o której istnieniu Naomi nie miała bladego pojęcia. Utknęła zatem na dobre w nieznanym mieście bez samochodu, pracy, planu i domu, za to z nad wiek dojrzałą jedenastolatką pod swoją opieką.
Knox ma swoje powody, dla których unika komplikacji. Skoro jednak życie Naomi zawaliło się na jego oczach, decyduje się w drodze wyjątku pomóc jej wyjść z opresji. A potem jego życie znowu zmieni się w spokojną, samotną egzystencję.
W każdym razie taki jest plan.

Вона втекла зі свого весілля, щоб нарешті знайти справжнє кохання.

Наомі тікає зі свого весілля до сестри-близнючки Тіни (яка ніколи не відзначался хорошою поведінкою) до містечка Нокмаут у штаті Вірджинія. Суперечки там вирішують старомодним способом: кулаками й пивом. Та майже відразу з’ясовується, що сестра ані краплі не змінилася: Тіна забирає гроші й машину Наомі, а натомість залишає її зі своєю донькою. І тепер Наомі застрягла тут з одинадцятирічною племінницею, без машини, роботи, дому, будь-якого плану та змоги покинути це місто.

Та на шляху їй трапляється Нокс. Цей бородатий перукар не терпить драми й романтики. Найкраще йому живеться на самоті, і ніяких стосунків він не потребує. Проте його світогляд змінює Наомі, чиє життя руйнується на його очах.

There was only one woman who could set me free. But I would rather set myself on fire than ask Sloane Walton for anything.

Lucian Rollins is a lean, mean vengeance-seeking mogul. On a quest to erase his father’s mark on the family name, he spends every waking minute pulling strings and building an indestructible empire. The more money and power he amasses, the safer he is from threats.

Except when it comes to the feisty small-town librarian that keeps him up at night…

Sloane Walton is a spitfire determined to carry on her father’s quest for justice. She’ll do that just as soon as she figures out exactly what the man she hates did to—or for—her family. Bonded by an old, dark secret from the past and the dislike they now share for each other, Sloane trusts Lucian about as far as she can throw his designer-suited body.

When bickering accidentally turns to foreplay, these two find themselves not quite regretting their steamy one-night stand. Once those flames are fanned, it seems impossible to put them out again. But with Sloane ready to start a family and Lucian refusing to even consider the idea of marriage and kids, these enemies-to-lovers are stuck at an impasse.

Broken men break women. It’s what Lucian believes, what he’s witnessed, and he’s not going to take that chance with Sloane. He’d rather live a life of solitude than put her in danger. But he learns the hard way that leaving her means leaving her unprotected from other threats.

It’s the second time he’s ruthlessly cut her out of his life. There’s no way she’s going to give him a third chance. He’s just going to have to make one for himself.

Nash Morgan was always known as the good Morgan brother, with a smile and a wink for everyone. But now, this chief of police is recovering from being shot and his Southern charm has been overshadowed by panic attacks and nightmares. He feels like a broody shell of the man he once was. Nash isn’t about to let anyone in his life know he’s struggling. But his new next-door neighbor, smart and sexy Lina, sees his shadows. As a rule, she’s not a fan of physical contact unless she initiates it, but for some reason Nash’s touch is different. He feels it too. The physical connection between them is incendiary, grounding him and making her wonder if…

Bearded, bad-boy barber Knox prefers to live his life the way he takes his coffee: Alone. Unless you count his basset hound, Waylon. Knox doesn't tolerate drama, even when it comes in the form of a stranded runaway bride. Naomi wasn't just running away from her wedding. She was riding to the rescue of her estranged twin to Knockemout, Virginia, a rough-around-the-edges town where disputes are settled the old-fashioned way . . . with fists and beer. Usually in that order. Too bad for Naomi her evil twin hasn't changed at all. After helping herself to Naomi's car and cash, Tina leaves her with something unexpected. The niece Naomi didn't know…

House-flipping sensation and YouTube star Maggie Nichols can’t wait to dig into her next challenge. Arriving in tiny Kinship, Idaho, with only a cot and a coffeemaker, Maggie is prepared to restore a crumbling Victorian mansion in four months or less. She has her to-do lists, her blueprints, and her team. What she doesn’t have is time for sexy, laid-back landscaper Silas Wright.

The man takes flirtation to a whole new level. And he does it shirtless…sometimes pants-less. He and his service school-dropout dog are impressively persistent. But she’s not interested in putting down roots. Not when fans tune in to watch her travel the country turning dilapidated houses into dream homes. A short-term fling on the other hand could fit nicely into her calendar. After all, Maggie remembers what fun is like. Vaguely.

As their summer gets downright steamy, Silas manages to demolish the emotional walls she’s spent years building, sending Maggie into a panic. He’s the wrench in her carefully constructed plans. With the end of the project looming, she has a decision to make. But how can she stay when her entire career is built on moving on?

A nice, normal life. Is that too much to ask? For Riley Thorn it is. Divorced. Broke. Living with a pack of elderly roommates. And those hallucinations she's diligently ignoring? Her tarot card-dealing mom is convinced they're clairvoyant visions.
Just when things can't get worse, a so-hot-it-should-be-illegal private investigator shows up on her doorstep looking for a neighbor...who turns up murdered.

Nick Santiago doesn't play well with others. Unless the "others" are of the female persuasion. Wink. He's a rebel, a black sheep, a man who prefers a buffet of options to being stuck with the same entree every night, if you catch his drift.

When the pretty, possibly psychic Riley lands at the top of the list of suspects, Nick volunteers to find out whodunit. Only because he likes solving mysteries not because he wants to flex his heroic muscles for the damsel in distress.
All they have to do is figure out who pulled the trigger, keep the by-the-book detective with a grudge at bay, and deal with a stranger claiming he was sent to help Riley hone her psychic gifts. All before the killer discovers she's a loose end that requires snipping.
