He seethes with raw power the first time I see him - pure menace and rippling muscles in shackles. He's dangerous. He's wild. He's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. So, I hide behind my prim glasses and my book like I always do, because I have secrets, too. Then, he shows up in the prison writing class I have to teach, and he blows me away with his honesty. He tells me secrets in his stories, and it's getting harder to hide mine. I shiver when he gets too close, with only the cuffs and the bars and the guards holding him back.

I'm Vicky, the dog whisperer. (Not really, but that's what my elderly neighbor says whenever I walk her dog, Smuckers.) When she dies, she surprises everybody by leaving a corporation worth billions to Smuckers...and she leaves Smuckers to me. Suddenly, I go from running my Etsy store to sitting in an elegant Wall Street boardroom with Smuckers in my lap. And my neighbor's son, Henry Locke, aka New York's most eligible bachelor, glaring across the table at me. Rumor has it Henry's a business genius who's as talented in the bedroom as he is in the boardroom.

When my manager assigns me the task of finding a new wake-up call service for our CEO, I think, how hard can this be? Answer: practically impossible. It turns out that no wake-up call company in the world will take him on as a client. They’ve all had enough of his surly personality. So, in an effort not to lose my job, I secretly start making the calls myself, every day at 4:30 am sharp. OMG yes, you read that right - four freaking thirty in the morning.

Francine is stunned when she discovers she's been married - for the last 10 years - to Benny, her surly, nerdy frenemy she worked with one summer in Vegas. How in the world did they end up married? Though there was a certain drunken night....She's surprised to find that Benny is now a cold, wolfish billionaire. And yes, he'll sign the paperwork - for a price: She has to spend the next three weeks playing his adoring wife.

I brandish equations like lightning bolts and shatter fortunes with mere scribbles on a whiteboard. People up and down Wall Street steer clear of me—or come to regret it. My walls are impenetrable as Alcatraz, and my self-control? Rock solid, my friend. Except when it comes to her. The woman I've secretly longed for. The only woman I can never have. My best friend’s little sister, Stella.

Max Hilton is my high school nemesis turned billionaire. And tomorrow I deliver his lunch order. In a cat costume. You know he’s going to love it. Turns out it wasn’t curiosity that killed the cat - it was mortification. I’m almost ready to quit my lunch delivery job, but then my roommate tosses me a copy of The Max Hilton Playbook: Ten Golden Rules for Picking up the Hottest Girl in the Room. It’s the book that catapulted him to stardom. And it’s my new bible.

I'd never even kissed a boy the night I met Stone. The night I saw him kill. The night he spared my life. That was only the beginning. He turns up in my car again and again, dangerous and full of raw power. "Drive," he tells me, and I have no choice. He's a criminal with burning green eyes, invading my life and my dreams. The police say he's dangerously obsessed with me, but I'm the one who can't stop thinking about him.

Verlieben verboten... Dass der Durchbruch als Schauspielerin in New York kein Zuckerschlecken wird, war Mia klar. Dass es so hart werden würde, hätte sie allerdings nicht gedacht. Um über die Runden zu kommen, liefert sie jeden Tag im Katzenkostüm Lunch-Bestellungen in Manhattan aus und muss sich die anzüglichen Blicke der millionenschweren CEOs über den Dächern von New York gefallen lassen. Sie ist kurz davor ihren Job hinzuschmeißen, als ein Name auf ihrer Klientenliste auftaucht, der ihren Puls vor Wut zum Rasen bringt.

Plötzlich verheiratet... Francine fällt aus allen Wolken, als sie herausfindet, dass sie verheiratet ist - ausgerechnet mit Benny, ihrem ehemaligen Arbeitskollegen, mit dem sie verfeindet war. Doch da gab es diese eine Nacht in Las Vegas vor zehn Jahren, in der sie beide viel zu viel getrunken haben... Als sie Benny ausfindig macht, um ihn um die Scheidung zu bitten, ist von dem unfreundlichen Nerd von damals nicht mehr viel übrig: Benny ist ein erfolgreicher Geschäftsmann, Milliardär und verboten gut aussehend.

ui è un potente CEO miliardario che ha trasformato l’azienda di famiglia in un impero. La società è la sua vita. Poi però quell’eccentrica di sua madre lascia tutto in eredità al proprio cagnolino, Smuckers. Lei è Vicky, mentalista canina. Beh, non proprio, ma è ciò che dice sempre la sua anziana stalker che vive nei dintorni… All’improvviso Vicky, fashion designer al verde e dog sitter part-time che fugge da un losco passato, si trova in un’elegante sala riunioni a Wall Street con Smuckers in grembo.

Max Hilton è la nemesi di Mia dai tempi del liceo, e ora è diventato l’uomo più ricco di New York. Come dire, il re del mondo. E a Mia tocca consegnargli il pranzo ogni giorno... vestita da gattina. Sicuramente Max farà uno di quei suoi sorrisi smaglianti, dall’alto della sua torre scintillante, il sorriso del playboy più famoso della grande mela. Eppure, quando Mia è sul punto di considerare un prematuro licenziamento, la sua coinquilina le lancia l'ancora della salvezza.
