Elle Casey Libri

La vita di Jenny è tutto fuorché eccitante, tra giornate passate incollata al computer a scrivere programmi informatici e serate trascorse spiaggiata sul divano a guardare ore e ore di documentari sugli animali. Del resto per una madre single con tre marmocchi l’avventura e il romanticismo sono un vago ricordo e un lontano miraggio. Quando perciò sua sorella le propone una consulenza per la Bourbon Street Boys, l’agenzia di sicurezza privata per cui lavora da due mesi, Jenny pensa che May sia impazzita. Già le sembra assurdo che la sua sorellina debba dare la caccia a dei criminali, come può immaginare di mettere in pericolo anche la propria vita? Peccato che nella squadra ci sia Dev, un energumeno con un fisico da sballo e una fossetta che sembra essere stata messa lì solo per invogliarla a gettare ogni cautela al vento. Sarà il momento giusto per correre qualche rischio?

Quando riceve un SMS anonimo che le chiede di raggiungerla in un bar malfamato nel centro di New Orleans, convinta che il mittente sia sua sorella e pensando che abbia perso la ragione, May Wexler decide di andare in suo soccorso. Perché Jenny dovrebbe trovarsi in un locale per motociclisti? E infatti Jenny non è in quel bar con i suoi bambini, e l’unica a finire nei guai è proprio May. Con le sue espadrillas rosa e l’amato Chihuahua nella borsetta, in quel postaccio salta all’occhio come un’insegna al neon. E quando qualcuno inizia a sparare, non ha altra scelta che seguire il massiccio uomo barbuto che sembra l’unico disposto ad aiutarla. May si ritrova così alla Bourbon Street Boys, l’agenzia di sicurezza privata gestita dal muscoloso Ozzie, che non solo le offre protezione (e anche un lavoro), ma senza barba si rivela un’eccitante distrazione. Presto May si renderà conto che il malvivente armato che la sta cercando non è il suo unico problema. Un numero di telefono sbagliato l’ha messa in questo pasticcio… potrebbe averla condotta anche dall’uomo giusto?

Jason Bradley has everything going for him. He's Banner High's first-string varsity wide receiver, headed to another State championship, and the college recruiters are already knocking on his door. His girlfriend is every guy's dream, there's a brand new black Camaro with a 6.2L, V-6 engine parked in his garage, and he's on cruise control. But when the school's beloved football coach turns up dead and Jason's found standing over the body, his cruise control cuts off bringing his charmed life to a screeching halt, and the reality of being an accused murderer of the first degree takes over. When everyone else walks away and leaves him to hang, one girl can't. But it's going to take more than guessing and wishing to get through to him and the truth of what happened, since he seems bound and determined to accept his fate as a criminal, tried as an adult and eligible for lethal injection. Can one really determined girl get to the bottom of the mystery when no one else seems to care? It would be so much easier to watch him go down, and for many, maybe just a little bit too satisfying. After all, who isn't guilty of finding pleasure in seeing that perfect someone suddenly exposed for the self-centered prick that he really is?

"Emerald Collins is nothing like her strong-willed sister Amber. When she found out her father was a member of the legendary rock group Red Hot, sensitive Em was determined to carry on as normal--she had no interest in finding out more about her dad or leaving her quiet sanctuary in Maine. But while visiting Amber in New York, Em meets Sam, a tortured, sexy, and utterly unsuitable musician. Sam and Em are used to life behind the scenes but their undeniable attraction is about to put them right in the spotlight."--Back cover

Celebrities all suffer from the same disease. I call it the create-your-own-reality disease. Most of them start out normal, like you and me, but somewhere along the way they lose sight of up and down, left and right, and then eventually right and wrong. It's my job to fix that. Who hires me, Scarlett Barnes, otherwise known as 'The Normalizer'? Agents usually. Producers sometimes. They know they can trust me to be professional, discreet, and above all, not personally involved with my clients. I come in, I take over their lives, and I get them back on track. Help them remember what it's like to be an average Joe. My latest job acquisition? His friends call him Tear-It-Up Kilgour, but I just call him Tarin - lead singer and guitarist for the band By Degrees. I have thirty days to get his butt back on planet earth before he loses his record deal, his movie contract, and possibly even his life. I've never failed so far, and I don't plan on failing this time either, even if Tarin has other ideas.

As a member of the Bourbon Street Boys private security firm, Antoinette "Toni" Delacourte is one strong woman, but despite her reputation for being tough as nails, she is haunted by her past mistakes. Now they're catching up to her, and throwing her for a loop. Ten years ago, Toni kissed Lucky, her brother's best friend. Worried it would break apart the group she'd come to see as family, she walked away--straight into the arms of Charlie, and an abusive relationship. For the past decade she's tried to keep her feelings for Lucky platonic--he's her friend, her colleague, and he's got his own past to deal with. Free of Charlie but unable to shake his memory, Toni finds herself feeling vulnerable and unable to deny her attraction to Lucky any longer. She's always thought that kiss was her first mistake, but now she's wondering whether the real mistake was running away.

From New York Times bestselling author Elle Casey comes the first book in the sexy Red-Hot Love Series. Fiery, free-loving Amber Fields has just discovered she's the daughter of a 90s rock legend. The bright lights of New York City are a world away from her quiet life in Maine, but Amber is determined to get answers--and give her absent father a piece of her mind. When she tracks down her father's band in Manhattan, answers seem hard to come by, and what she does find doesn't add up with the stories she was told as a child. And then there's the band's replacement lead guitarist Ty Stanz. He's sexy and intriguing for sure, but Amber is not falling for a brooding, prickly rocker. He seems to know exactly the right buttons to press to provoke her. Amber is no fan girl, and Ty sees her as an unwelcome distraction. On the surface they are worlds apart. Each is tied to the band for very different reasons, but the more time they spend together the hotter things get. Is their red-hot love meant to last?
