The rules:No dating.No sex outside of the game.No disclosing the terms of the contract.Rules were made to be broken, right?Eight weeks ago I signed a contract. One that seemed like a good idea at the time. A handsome bachelor, luxury accommodations, and a chance to win a prize my family desperately needed. There were some rules though. Lots of them actually. Follow the script, no dating, sex, or disclosing the terms of the deal. After my self-imposed moratorium on men the last year, it wouldn’t be hard to live up to my end of the bargain…so I thought. Until I realized the deal I’d made was with the devil…and I was in love with his dirty-talking brother.  

From #1 New York Times Bestseller Vi Keeland, comes a new, sexy standalone novel.Terminated for inappropriate behavior.I couldn’t believe the letter in my hands.Nine years. Nine damn years I’d worked my butt off for one of the largest companies in America, and I was fired with a form letter when I returned home from a week in Aruba.All because of a video taken when I was on vacation with my friends—a private video made on my private time. Or so I thought…Pissed off, I cracked open a bottle of wine and wrote my own letter to the gazillionaire CEO telling him what I thought of his company and its practices.I didn’t think he’d actually respond.I certainly never thought I’d suddenly become pen pals with the rich jerk.Eventually, he realized I’d been wronged and made sure I got my job back.Only…it wasn’t the only thing Grant Lexington wanted to do for me.But there was no way I was getting involved with my boss’s boss’s boss. Even if he was ridiculously gorgeous, confident, and charming.It would be completely wrong, inappropriate even.Sort of like the video that got me into trouble to begin with.Two wrongs don’t make a right.But sometimes it’s twice as fun.

The night I met Drew Jagger, he'd just broken into my new Park Avenue office.I dialed 9-1-1 before proceeding to attack him with my fancy new Krav Maga skills.He quickly restrained me, then chuckled, finding my attempted assault amusing.Of course, my intruder had to be arrogant.Only, turned out, he wasn't an intruder at all.Drew was the rightful occupant of my new office. He'd been on vacation while his posh space was renovated.Which was how a scammer got away with leasing me office space that wasn't really available for rent.I was swindled out of ten grand.The next day, after hours at the police station, Drew took pity on me and made me an offer I couldn't refuse. In exchange for answering his phones while his secretary was out, he'd let me stay until I found a new place.I probably should have acted grateful and kept my mouth shut when I overheard the advice he was spewing to his clients. But I couldn't help giving him a piece of my mind.I never expected my body to react every time we argued. Especially when that was all we seemed to be able to do.The two of us were complete opposites. Drew was a bitter, angry, gorgeous-as-all-hell, destroyer of relationships. And my job was to help people save their marriages.The only thing the two of us had in common was the space we were sharing.And an attraction that was getting harder to deny by the day.

Nr. 1 New York Times and Spiegel BestsellerautorinMax Yearwood traf ich zum ersten Mal während eines Blind Dates. Max war wahnsinnig hinreißend, lustig und zwischen uns sprühten nur so die Funken. Außerdem hatte er die schönsten Grübchen, die mir je unter die Augen gekommen waren.Genau, was ich nach meiner Trennung brauchte.Zumindest dachte ich das ...Bis meine echte Verabredung eintraf.Wie sich herausstellte, war Max gar nicht derjenige, mit dem ich mich treffen sollte.Er tat nur so, als sei er es, bis meine echte Verabredung auftauchte.Zu sagen, dass ich enttäuscht war, wäre eine Untertreibung.Bevor er wieder ging, steckte er mir eine Eintrittskarte für ein Eishockeyspiel einige Häuserblocks entfernt zu, nur für den Fall, dass es mit meiner echten Verabredung nicht so gut lief.Ich verstaute die Karte in meiner Handtasche und versuchte, mich auf den Mann zu konzentrieren, mit dem ich mich treffen sollte.Doch mein echtes Blind Date und ich hatten überhaupt keine Verbindung.Auf dem Heimweg entschied ich mich also, ein Risiko einzugehen und das Eishockeyspiel zu besuchen.Bei meiner Ankunft war der Platz neben mir leer.Wieder einmal war ich enttäuscht und beschloss, nach Ende des zweiten Drittels zu gehen.Doch kurz vor Abpfiff schoss eines der Teams ein Tor und die Zuschauer spielten verrückt.Auf dem riesigen Bildschirm erschien das Gesicht eines Spielers. Obwohl er einen Helm trug, erstarrte ich, als er lächelte.Sie können es sich denken: Grübchen.Offensichtlich hatte mein falsches Blind Date mich nicht eingeladen, um mir ein Eishockeyspiel mit ihm zusammen anzusehen, sondern er hatte mich eingeladen, ihm beim Spielen zuzuschauen.Und so begann mein Abenteuer mit Max Yearwood.Zu dem Zeitpunkt war er alles, was ich brauchte - witzig, sexy, zu allem bereit, und nur noch für ein paar Monate in der Stadt, da er einen Vertrag bei einem Team viertausend Kilometer entfernt unterschrieben hatte.Max schlug vor, dass wir den Sommer damit verbringen, mir zu helfen, meinen Ex zu vergessen. Das klang wie ein guter Plan. Die Dinge konnten nicht allzu ernst werden, wenn wir ein Verfallsdatum hatten. Oder?Nun, Sie wissen ja, wie das ist, wenn man sich ganz fest etwas vornimmt.

Vi Keeland, auteure de bests-sellers no 1 au classement du New York Times, nous livre un nouveau roman intégral, torride et sexy.La première fois que j'ai rencontré Max Yearwood, j'avais rendez-vous avec lui sans l'avoir encore jamais vu.Max était incroyablement beau et drôle, et notre alchimie a tout de suite crevé le plafond. Il avait aussi d'adorables fossettes.Pile ce dont j'avais besoin après ma séparation.Ou du moins, c'était ce que je croyais...Jusqu'à ce que l'homme avec qui j'avais réellement rendez-vous arrive.Il s'avère que ce n'était pas Max que je devais rencontrer ce soir-là. Il s'était simplement prêté au jeu avant l'arrivée de mon véritable compagnon d'un soir.Dire que j'étais déçue serait un euphémisme.Avant de partir, il m'a glissé un billet pour un match de hockey à quelques rues de là, au cas où la soirée tournerait court avec l'autre homme.J'ai jeté le billet dans mon sac et me suis efforcée d'apprécier la compagnie de celui que j'étais censée rencontrer.Pour le coup, il n'y a pas eu la moindre étincelle entre lui et moi.Alors, sur le chemin du retour, j'ai décidé de tenter ma chance en passant au match.À mon arrivée, le siège à côté du mien était vide.Déçue pour la deuxième fois de la soirée, j'ai décidé de partir à la fin de la mi-temps.Juste avant le coup de sifflet, un membre de l'équipe a marqué et la foule a laissé éclater sa joie.Le visage d'un joueur est alors apparu sur l'écran géant. Il portait un casque, mais je suis restée pétrifiée quand il a souri. Vous l'avez deviné : l'homme aux fossettes.Apparemment, celui qui s'était fait passer pour mon compagnon d'un soir ne m'avait pas invitée à regarder le match de hockey avec lui, il m'avait invitée à le regarder jouer.C'est ainsi qu'a commencé ma petite aventure avec Max Yearwood.Il représentait tout ce dont j'avais besoin à cette période de ma vie : drôle, sexy, prêt à tout, et disponible pour quelques mois seulement, avant de rejoindre sa nouvelle équipe à plus de trois mille kilomètres de là.Max m'a proposé de passer l'été avec moi pour m'aider à oublier mon ex. Ça me semblait un bon plan. Notre relation ne pouvait pas devenir trop sérieuse, puisqu'elle avait déjà une date d'expiration. Pas vrai ?Eh bien, sachez que même les meilleurs plans ne sont pas toujours couronnés de succès.

A new, sexy standalone from #1 New York Times Bestseller, Vi Keeland.The first time I met Merrick Crawford was during my job interview.Well, technically, I'd met him twenty minutes earlier when he'd barged into a fitting room a few doors down from my appointment.I yelled. He yelled. After an argument while standing in my bra, I proceeded to smash the door into the gorgeous jerk, trying to yank it shut.As you might imagine, I was freaked out when I discovered that the rude guy was my potential new boss.Yet he didn't seem to recognize me. Or so I thought... Until we wound up bickering again during my interview and he told me to go sniff my armpit.Okay, so maybe I hadn't exactly been changing when he walked in on me.

A new, sexy standalone from #1 New York Times Bestseller, Vi Keeland.Before I even met Donovan Decker, I knew his shoe size.You see, I'd gone away for a few days, and in my haste to get out of the airport, I'd grabbed the wrong suitcase.After checking out the expensive footwear and tailored clothes, I dialed the number on the luggage tag hoping maybe Mister Big Spender might have my bag.A deep, velvety voice answered, and as luck would have it, he had my suitcase, too.Donovan and I met at a coffee shop to do the exchange.Turned out, it wasn't just his voice that was sexy. The man holding my luggage was absolutely gorgeous, and we had an immediate spark.He got me to admit that I'd snooped in his bag and then convinced me to make it up to him by letting him buy me coffee.Coffee led to dinner, dinner led to dessert, and dessert led to spending an entire weekend together.

Il était également drôle, intelligent et curieusement simple pour un homme aux chaussures à sept cents dollars.Oh, et ai-je précisé qu'il avait fait ma lessive pendant mon sommeil ?Clairement trop beau pour être vrai.Alors, qu'est-ce que j'ai fait pour le remercier de sa gentillesse ?J'ai attendu qu'il soit sous la douche et je me suis enfuie.Ma vie était décidément trop compliquée pour un mec aussi génial.Au cours des mois qui ont suivi, j'ai souvent pensé à Donovan.

"The first time I met Max Yearwood was on a blind date. Max was insanely gorgeous, funny, and our chemistry was off the charts. He also had the biggest dimples I'd ever laid eyes on. Exactly what I needed after my breakup. Or so I thought...Until my real date arrived. Turned out, Max wasn't who I was there to meet. He only pretended to be until my real date showed up. To say I was disappointed would be an understatement. Before he left, he slipped me a ticket to a hockey game a few blocks away, in case things didn't work out on my actual date. I tossed the ticket into my purse and went about trying to enjoy the man I was supposed to meet. But my real blind date and I had no connection. So on my way home, I decided to take a chance and stop by the game. When I arrived, the seat next to me was empty. Disappointed again, I decided to leave at the end of the period. Just before the buzzer, one of the teams scored, and the entire arena went crazy. A player's face flashed up on the Jumbotron. He was wearing a helmet, but I froze when he smiled. You guessed it: Dimples. Apparently, my fake blind date hadn't invited me to watch hockey with him, he'd invited me to watch him play. And so began my adventure with Max Yearwood. He was everything I needed at the time, fun, sexy, up for anything, and only around for a few months since he'd signed with a new team three-thousand miles away. Max proposed we spend the summer helping me forget my ex. It sounded like a good plan. Things couldn't get too serious when we had an expiration date. Right? Though, you know what they say about the best-laid plans."--
