I’m a no-nonsense man. As the head of a business empire, I have to be. I’m logical, cut-throat, and don’t believe in cheesy things like marriage and happy ever afters. But when my best friend asks me to be Best Man, I can't say no. En route to the wedding, I get stuck at the airport when my flight is delayed, and this obnoxious woman sits next to me. Not only does she keep drinking champagne even though she obviously can’t hold her liquor, but she seems determined to push every single one of my buttons.

I love my job. So, when a grumpy grouch wants to shut us down, I’m ready for the fight of my life. I was heading for serious career burnout until my dream job came true. Making pralines for a living has been the best thing that’s ever happened to me. So, it comes as quite a shock when I find out that the owner wants to shut down the LeBlanc-Broussard confectionery because it’s not profitable. My hope is that I can win him over. Once he realizes how integral the confectionery is to the city, to the very makeup of New Orleans he’s bound to agree, right?

Being a single dad while managing one of the biggest businesses in New Orleans keeps me very busy. I spend my free time with my daughter, Bella—reading to her, styling her hair, or choosing nail polishes appropriate for an eight-year-old. But I’m okay with that, because she is my whole world. After my divorce, I made myself a promise: I wouldn’t date until Bella was older. Then, all my good intentions go up in smoke when I hire our newest chef for the flagship restaurant in the French Quarter.

I swear I didn’t mean to flirt with the world-famous Brayden Clarke - especially not right in the middle of an interview for a job. It was a slip - or, perhaps, a gut reaction to his smoldering eyes and deep, sexy voice. To my total disbelief, they give me the assignment. My task is simple: advise Brayden and his band on how to communicate with their fans.

In New Orleans, I'm known as the fun and laid-back LeBlanc brother. The Rebel CEO. I’m successful and determined, but I don't play by the rules. Heck, I don't even have rules except one. I never ever get involved with my assistants. After a very bad experience years ago, I know better than to mix business and pleasure. I've had no problems sticking to my rule until I hired Daisy. When I first meet her, I have no idea she’s my new temp assistant. I just set eyes on this gorgeous woman at my favorite coffee shop and do what I do best: flirt with her like there's no tomorrow.

This bundle includes Promise Me Forever, Hold Me Forever, and Show Me Forever.

Pourtant, quand je rencontre ma voisine, mon esprit commence à s’égarer. Penny est magnifique et d’une maladresse attendrissante. Lorsqu’elle chute devant chez moi, mon instinct de protection prend le dessus. Tandis que je panse ses blessures, je n’ai qu’une seule envie : apprendre à mieux la connaître. Alors quand je l’observe jouer avec mon fils, les murailles que j’avais érigées autour de mon cœur menacent de s’effondrer.

Les choses commencent mal entre Jake Whitley et moi. Ensuite, elles vont de mal en pis. Quand ma carrière vire au cauchemar, je décide de lancer ma propre société d’organisation d’événements pour gagner ma vie. Seulement, j’ai à peine posé un pied dans le jet privé de Jake que nous sommes déjà en désaccord. Il veut se débarrasser de moi. De mon côté, je compte organiser une fête inoubliable pour sa grand-mère… sur sa propriété à Martha’s Vineyard.

Les plans les mieux conçus, dit-on, déraillent facilement. Surtout quand le garçon sur qui je craquais au lycée est devenu PDG d’une société concurrente et que son entremetteuse de grand-mère complote pour nous réunir. Après avoir obtenu la promotion de mes rêves, je suis déterminée à prouver à ma patronne qu’elle a fait le bon choix en me proposant ce poste. Comme l’argent que je gagne en plus sert à aider mes parents, j’aimerais autant ne pas me faire virer. La première étape ? Gagner le prix de la meilleure marque de café. Facile.

When I'm not making waffles for my son Jeremy or teaching him how to swim, I’m running a billion-dollar business. My life is scheduled to the minute. So, when the nanny unexpectedly quits, I need a replacement. Riley is not what I expected. She just graduated law school and wants a summer job before starting her legal career. My son Jeremy instantly likes her—she makes him laugh until his cheeks hurt. Hell, she makes me feel carefree too, and I haven’t let my guard down ever since Jeremy’s mom left.

Our new general manager is the most difficult man on the planet. The night before Drake begins working at my family's hotel, he finds me in the bar, trying to get rid of a boring date. But the guy won’t take even a not-so-subtle hint. Then, Drake surprises me and comes to our table, but only to reprimand me about dating in our workplace. The asshat! I swear he thinks he can get away with it only because of those smoldering green eyes. Well, they don’t affect me. Nope, not at all.

I’m Spencer Whitley, the CEO of a billion-dollar company. But behind closed doors, I’m a clueless, single dad…. Between reading as many parenting books as I can and trying to get the little dude to sleep during the night, I can barely think about anything else.

I won't fall for my ex, even if I move in with him…famous last words. Conned out of my business I have no other choice but to move back home to Chicago. I’m determined to rebuild everything, but I’m so broke that I can’t even afford to pay rent.

The last time I saw Cade Whitley, I was the curvy, nerdy girl who tutored him in math. He was the popular boy who only saw me as a friend. Now he’s the CEO of the competition. The second we meet again, we start pushing each other’s buttons…then end up flirting.

“Have dinner with me.” Four words. That was all Travis Maxwell needed to charm me, even though I’d just met him. In my defense, we were kind of stuck together, and he was the hottest man I’d laid eyes on. We spent a glorious week together, knowing we'd go our separate ways in the end.

Jake Whitley and I start off on the wrong foot. And then it goes downhill from there. After my career implodes, I’m determined to make a living with my new event planning business. But Jake and I are at odds from the moment I step on his private plane.

Bad luck seems to follow me. Last night, I grabbed a drink at the bar near my new workplace. I met the most sophisticated man when he “stole” my table. We bantered and danced, and I went home with a stranger for the first time in my life. The next morning, I find out my hot one-night stand is my new boss. Gone is the playful, charming man from last night. Luke Maxwell is all business, acting as if our night together never happened. He’s impossible to please, but I’m determined to succeed. This job is my chance to prove myself and put my past—and my ex—behind me.

Je sais ce que les gens disent de moi. Eric Callahan, "Le Requin". Ce titre me reflète à la perfection. Je suis un homme puissant. Mon sens aigu des affaires m'a valu ce surnom. Ma façade est mon armure. Sous cette couche de protection, je cache tout l'amour que j'ai pour ma fille. Depuis que sa mère est morte, je lui consacre ma vie. Développer mon entreprise sur la côte ouest est une façon de m'assurer de lui réserver l'héritage qu'elle mérite. Et c'est tout ce que je prévois de faire pendant nos trois mois à San Francisco.

Je sais ce que pensent les gens lorsqu'ils entendent le nom Sebastian Bennett. Déterminé. Impitoyable. Responsable d'un empire commercial. De l'extérieur, je semble invincible. En privé, par contre, ma famille est une priorité. Mes parents. Mes huit, oui huit, frères et sœurs. Chacun d'entre eux ne cesse de me harceler pour que je me range et que je me marie. J'ai beau être invincible, je n'arrive pas à leur échapper. Peu importe le nombre incalculable de fois où je leur ai expliqué patiemment que je ne crois pas en l'amour. C'était sans compter sur Ava Lindt.

Tout le monde connaît mes priorités. Logan Bennett, fidèle à ma famille et à mon entreprise. Je n'ai pas le temps pour l'amour. Je n'en ai pas l'envie. Pas depuis l'échec de mes fiançailles qui m'a laissé le cœur brisé. Les histoires d'amour, c'est fini pour moi. Puis Nadine Hawthorne débarque dans ma vie, même si elle n'a pas la moindre idée qu'elle va tout bouleverser. Elle se la joue "Oh, je me concentre sur ma boutique de vêtements", et "je ne peux pas me permettre de me laisser distraire", comme si ce n'était pas elle qui me distrayait de tout le reste.
