Annis Carew knows why most men are attracted to her -- her father's money! -- and she's perfected the art of playing it cool. But with gorgeous Kosta Vitale she feels her ice-queen crown is slipping.... Maybe because he's the first man to want her -- just for herself! Kosta is used to women giving him the come-on -- not the brush-off! And until recently he's been more than happy to respond. But from his first fiery meeting with Annis, he's a changed man...because she makes him think the unthinkable: marriage!

It was unthinkable that Lydia should admit, even to herself, that she had fallen in love with her sister's fiance... Aurora was beautiful, glamorous, exciting; Philip was everything a girl would want in a man. Then, on the eve of the wedding, Aurora disappeared. In the frantic weeks that followed, Lydia and Philip were thrown together in their search for the missing girl. Soon it became evident that Philip had made a mistake -- that Lydia was the one he loved... But did he really love her, she wondered. Or was he turning to her to ease his own heartbreak? Should she, as Aurora had always done, take what she wanted, and the devil take the hindmost? She would have Philip then, and then she would have love -- but what about her strong sense of honor?

She would, some day, remember only the joy... Fern Graham has a comfortable life in the Lake District: her husband, Max, dotes on her, Rachel and Charlie, her two bright and loving children, mean everything to her and a career as an author keeps her mind alive. But when she is invited to celebrity-filled Rome and New York to write the authorized biography of one of the world's greatest operatic tenors, Fern starts to question just how happy she really is at home. Pietro Petrungero's voice captivates millions and everyone around him is touched by his quiet sensitivity. The more time the singer and his biographer spend together, the more they realise that they are falling passionately in love. And soon the professional moves into the realm of pleasure. Fern, though, is tortured - she is torn between two worlds, torn between two men - and she knows that pain and heartache will be involved in whichever choice she makes...
