Loud and earthy, comedienne Mia Martinez-Coleman never met a curse word she didn't like, but smooth operator Randall Blue--nightclub owner and so much more--is about to prove that things can get even dirtier...and more dangerous. NO LAUGHING MATTER Comedienne Maria Teresa Juanita Martinez-Coleman wants her big break so badly she can taste it. Nothing and no one is going to stand in her way, especially nightclub owner Randall Blue. Lately, it seems he's been stalking her--showing up at all her gigs, never laughing but ever-present. He's handsome, rich, and completely out of her league, so she's clueless why he's hanging around...unless he's making sure the show she has scheduled at his famous Topaz Room wasn't a booking error? Randall Blue has found the full package in Mia. Funny, smart, curvy, sassy--and connected to an arms dealer Randall's been tracking. No one suspects his covert objective; he has a great cover as a businessman with an eye for the ladies. The problem is, this brash, fearless woman is more than a way into El Duke's gang, she's The One. He he has no right claiming her, not when everything she knows about him is a lie. But to keep her out of danger, he's got to get close, which, of course, is right where he wants to be.

Singer/songwriter Evie Marcherand is about to begin her first three-city tour when someone threatens to stop her music-permanently. Private investigator Jake Wells is about to give up his vacation-and his heart-to see that doesn't happen. MAKE A WISH Everyone leaves twenty-five-year-old Evie Marcherand, but with her naturally husky voice and musical talent she's done okay, and her star is rising. Her songs and her guitar? Those she can count on. She's just booked her first three-city tour. Too bad someone else wants to stop her music. Permanently. Jake Wells. 39. Private investigator. Tall and lanky, with brown hair that's going silver at his temples. What does he want? To go on vacation. But with four younger sisters, "protective" doesn't begin to describe him, so a promise to a dead man means he'll play bodyguard instead. Threats of violence against an up-and-coming singer/songwriter have been escalating, and there's just no way that's going to happen. But after he gets a taste of Evie Marcherand's music-and lips-there's no saying what will.

Claiming her independence from a manipulative, over-bearing mother has been a full-time job for Hollywood actress Jenna Stone, but finding herself face-to-face with rock star ex-boyfriend and soon-to-be co-lead Dane Hadley will give her a true chance at something better than just a Hollywood happy ending. BETTER THAN THE MOVIE Once upon a time there was a beautiful girl who lived in Los Angeles who wanted nothing more than to be loved, but from the time she was thirteen Jenna Stone has been marketed, pimped out and bartered, all for another person's dreams of fame. Jenna has certainly enjoyed being a star, but what she's missed was being special. Her new movie deal might make her just that. Except, the WWII period drama will co-star the one man whom she mistakenly let get close. That can never happen again. Onetime actor Dane Hadley has loved his recent success as a rock star, but after his band broke up a return to acting seems the best way to keep the money rolling in. Except, his co-star is none other than Jenna Stone, the only girl he ever loved-and the woman who crushed his heart. Working together will be nothing but business...until it isn't. And with villains, plot twists and successes better than even Hollywood can write them, true love seems suddenly possible after all. And the paparazzi will be there to catch everything.
