Greenwod. Libro 1: Te odio con todo mi amor:«Cómo encajar en un mundo al que no perteneces, cómo asumir que lo que más odias es aquello que no puedes evitar amarObstinada, rebelde, irreverente, incontrolable. Esos eran algunos de los adjetivos con los que, Andrew Greenwood, el estricto y comedido conde de Hardwick definía a Marian Miller, o «Demonio Miller», como solían llamarla. Andrew había tenido que asumir la responsabilidad de su título y su familia demasiado pronto y no permitiría que nada ni nadie se interpusiera en su camino, pero todo se complica cuando Andrew y Marian descubren que el amor y la atracción que los une son casi tan potentes como la animadversión que los separa. Libro 2: Secretos compartidos:«¿Hasta dónde serias capaz de llegar por lealtad? ¿Serías capaz de renunciar a tu felicidad, a tu destino, al amor, y vencer tus propios miedos?». Maysie Sheldon tenía un secreto: había amado. Había amado con el alma, con esa inocencia conmovedora que impulsa a las jóvenes ingenuas a escaparse del dulce cobijo de sus sábanas en mitad de la noche para refugiarse en unos brazos cálidos, para robarle un minuto al tiempo, para arrancarle unos segundos al destino... Maysie Sheldon guardaba un gran secreto y su hermana Elisabeth compartía gustosa aquel peso. Libro 3: Todos tus besos:«¿Puede un beso ser mucho más que un beso? hay besos imposibles de olvidar, besos capaces de cambiar el curso de una vida... ».Thomas Sheperd ha luchado con ahínco durante toda su vida para labrarse un exitoso futuro, tratando de ignorar que es el hijo bastardo de uno de los duques más importantes de Inglaterra. Lo único que Thomas sabe del amor es que es capaz de destruir aquello que toca. En cambio, la bella e incomparable Caroline Greenwood está impaciente por encontrar el amor, el romanticismo, y todos esos besos con los que sueña.Un hombre que no cree en el amor y una mujer que sueña con él… Libro 4: Cicatrices en el alma:«Ella oculta las cicatrices de su rostro, él pretende esconder las de su alma atormentada rodeándose de oscuridad». Vincent Rhys había convertido la depravación en un arte. No era generoso ni humilde, y la mayoría de las veces ni siquiera era amable, a no ser que fuera en su propio beneficio. Alcohol, mujeres, peleas, juego… Cualquier vicio era aceptable si con ello conseguía adormecer unos instantes los fantasmas que lo asediaban. Vicent Rhys poseía la bella apariencia de un ángel y un alma llena de cicatrices, tan oscura como la del mismísimo diablo. Pero su pacífica existencia da un giro radical cuando un libertino de la peor calaña y un atrevido libro se cruzan en su camino.Praise for Judy Summers: 'I thoroughly enjoyed this book... The characters are well drawn and believable' Lyn Andrews 'Fascinating insights…

to investigate the mysterious circumstances more deeply.Nick has just returned from Moscow – still trying to come to terms with the fact that his girlfriend and baby son are safer there without him – so combines an unrivalled understanding of the Special Forces landscape with a detachment that should allow him to remain in cover.But less than forty-eight hours later, a second death catapults him back into the firing line – into the telescopic sights of an unknown assassin bent on protecting a secret that could strike at the heart of the establishment that Stone has, in his maverick fashion, spent most of his life fighting to protect.And now the clock is ticking, Stone hurtles from the solitude of a remote Welsh confessional to Glencoe – whose shadows still whisper of murder and betrayal – and on to Southern Spain, in an increasingly desperate quest to uncover the truth about a chain of events that began in the darkness of an Afghan hillside, and left a young man haunted by the never-ending screams of a friend the Taliban skinned alive.Nick Stone’s most heart-stopping adventure yet will force the reader to recognise the thinness of the line that separates sacrifice from suicide, to share the nightmares that walk hand in hand with heroism – and to count the real cost of actions taken in the name of loyalty.Line of Fire
