NICOLA MARSH

He’s my hateful enemy, but I can’t stop these feelings blooming for him… Ariel is struggling to keep the gallery she inherited from the woman who raised her afloat. It won’t be long until she’s attacked by the land shark who’s hoping to redevelop the area. She has to do everything in her power to keep that from happening, even if it means painting a portrait of a nude male for a large sum of money despite not wanting to do it. When it comes time to meet her model, she’s faced by Cooper, a calm man who’s not what she expected. She’s charmed by his Grecian features, having no clue that he’s the man hoping to buy her gallery…

After Aimee’s parents pass away, it’s up to her to take over their old cake shop and raise her young son, Toby, by herself. Toby’s father, Jed, was an accomplished chef when Aimee last saw him, but in their time apart, he’s become even more successful. After the cruelty Jed showed her when he walked out of Aimee’s life, she had hoped to never see him again, but if she wants to save little Toby from leukemia, Jed’s her only hope. How will he react when he meets the son he never knew he had?

I may be just a shy, boring person, but I'll reinvent myself on this cruise! Lana Walker holds this thought firmly in mind as she boards the ship that will take her all around the South Pacific. However, just as she clears the gangplank in her usual plain navy business suit, she trips! "Watch out!" Zac, a sailor clad in a dazzlingly white uniform with eyes a deeper blue than the ocean itself, catches her. Lana's face glows hot from his teasing smile. "What's going on with me?" But just when she's almost taken in by his charm, she overhears him: "Women are all as vicious as piranhas."
