“You mean that?”
“I’ve never meant anything more in my life. I love you. With everything I have inside.”
She blinked. Nibbled on her lip, as if unsure. “That much?”
“More than words can say. So much it scares me.”
A slow smile spread over her full lips. “That’s good.”
“It is?”
She nodded. “Because…I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I love you too.”
He kissed her quickly. To ensure she was truly there. With him saying those words. That it wasn’t his imagination playing tricks on what he really wanted to hear. Then he pulled back and stared deep into her eyes. “I’ll move down to Florida if you don’t want to come back here. I know you’re set to return tomorrow, but I don’t want to be away from you. I never want to be away from you.”
She grinned. “You don’t have to move. I was planning to come back up here anyway. I’m just going back to pack, but we’re moving the business office up to New York again.”
“I’m coming with you. I can be helpful with packing.”
She laughed. “Mr. Sexy is going to turn into Mr. Martha Stewart again? I can’t wait.”
“Baby, Mr. Sexy is all yours, and I’ll be your Mr. Martha Stewart any day you want.”
Their lips met in a heated caress. It was more a marking than a kiss; hard, rough, and needy. He teased her lips apart with his tongue and branded her as his own. Holding her tight in his arms, he opened himself to the emotions filling his heart. This was the one woman he wanted, and he’d let go of the past to be able to enjoy their future.
Epilogue
Lucky grinned at all the family and friends filling Come Again. It was a special celebration. The club had been decked out to welcome Adalia Karly Carter, Andrew and Alex’s daughter.
The room broke into soft applause the moment the proud parents walked into the club with the newborn.
“So…” Jazz’s voice caught her attention.
She watched him sip a fruity drink from a blue bendy straw. Geez. He really liked those things.
“So?” Nina frowned at Jazz. Her face was even more golden than normal from her recent honeymoon.
“So, which one of you is going to hook me up with my very own Mr. Sexy?” Jazz grinned expectantly.
Lucky laughed and glanced at the dance floor where her sister was trying to look like she was dancing with her friend and world-renowned chef, Sev. Instead of dancing, though, they looked like they were in a heated argument.
“Lucky?”
She jerked back to glance at Jazz and Nina, who were also watching the couple on the dance floor.
“Oh Jazz, honey, I think Kay may need some help next.” Nina grinned.
Uh-oh. If she was going to play matchmaker with Kay, her poor sister was in trouble.
The buzzing of her phone caught her attention. She glanced at the screen and grinned. It was a photo of a deck of cards and a message saying: “Want to play?”
She laughed and replied: “OK, who knows, this might be your lucky day.”
A moment later, Jared’s hard body rubbed up behind her. His hands went around her waist, hauling her into him.
“I don’t think I can get any luckier,” he whispered by her ear.
She turned in his grasp to glance up at his smiling face. Licking her lips, she rubbed her body over his, loving the feel of his hardness on her. She slid her hands into his. Pressed the ace card she’d taken from his boat into his palm. There was no need to keep the card when she already had the man.
“Oh, I think you can. Are you feeling lucky?”

Stranded together, their passions will run wild.
Kara has a deep dislike for her boss, Max. She also wants him so badly it’s making her nuts. He’s a workaholic, a robot man. And he’s never shown the least bit of interest in her or anything else that wasn’t recorded in the corporate minutes. But when their plane crashes on the way to a meeting, leaving them stranded on a deserted island…just the two of them, all alone with all that ocean around them…Kara decides it’s time to start living. And by living, she means using Max for all the hot sex she’s been denied.
Max wants Kara—has wanted her for a long time. Unable to come out and cross the line between professional and personal, he makes her accompany him on business trips just to have her around. When they crash land and Kara shows him how much she wants him, he decides to quit being so professional and take the woman of his dreams. After all, what happens in the middle of nowhere, stays in the middle of nowhere. Until they’re rescued.
Back in the real world, things aren’t as easy. Kara is afraid to start a relationship with a man who completely ignored her until she took off her clothes, and Max is afraid she’ll never be able to trust him. But when someone makes it clear that Kara’s in danger, Max has more to protect than Kara’s feelings. And now that he has her, he’s not about to let her go.

Symphony of Light and Winter
Renea Mason
One woman. Seven men. All bound by one man’s undying devotion.
Fundraiser Linden Hill has a knack for reading people. She always knows which conversations will put a prospect at ease, which drink will loosen a patron’s lips—or his wallet, and how cleavage will make a donor sweeten the deal. She’s even foreseen her dateless weekends four hundred and sixty-four times in a row.
But ten years after watching life drain from her former mentor’s and first love’s eyes, her skills for divining the predictable are lost. When Cyril returns, he’s still gorgeous, but this time he’s beyond human, far less dead, and pissed. His lack of memory drives him to desperate acts, and his turbulent re-acquaintance with Linden pulls her into his war with a creature hell-bent on his destruction. His group of six supernatural men share a tantalizing secret, but despite the hunger, it’s love that leads her to sacrifice everything to save him…
