Kidnapped by the Greek Billionaire Author: Rachel Lyndhurst Chapter One “Damn this place!” Andreas Lazarides stared up through the Bentley’s dark-tinted windows into a dull London sky. His driver was parked illegally, his delegates were late and he was in danger of forgetting how much he stood to gain by courting this parliamentary lobbying group. He hated it when people were late. As he sat there, waiting, Andreas realized with disbelief that this was his second no-show in the capital that morning. He made a grab for his briefcase as a police officer indicated they should move immediately. His chauffeur turned the key in the ignition and waited expectantly. “Okay, I’ll get out here and call when I need you back.” Andreas glared as the car’s red taillights disappeared into traffic. His hand tightened into a fist; his cell phone was still on the back seat of the Bentley. He inhaled savagely as he pictured his already tight schedule being squeezed. And none of this was his fault...

Beautiful Sky (Billionaire Rock Star #1) Author: Ashley Blake Introduction You know how some days are so bad that you wish you could just home go and start over?  Yeah, that was the kind of day I was having.  I overslept because my alarm didn’t go off, and when I got out of bed that morning, my foot landed right on my brand new cell phone and I cracked the glass and I was pissed!  I had been talking to my boyfriend Seth late the night before, and I was too exhausted to charge my phone so I just dropped it on the rug next to my bed.  Not the smartest thing to do.  I was addicted to my phone so I planned to call and have it fixed later that day.            As I got ready for the school day, I tried not to think about my phone and focused instead on buying my graduation dress after school.  Graduation was two weeks away and I couldn’t wait to be done with high school.  I had been saving up for mon...

Lullaby (The Watersong Quartet #2)(20) Author: Amanda Hocking “I don’t know. I’m not sorry. It’s kind of fun.” He smiled, but the smile seemed sad. “Four beautiful girls in my house, and I’m in love with Penn. Some things are strange and my memory isn’t so great, but it’s still … fun.” “I hope that’s true,” Gemma said. Sawyer let out a long breath. “Me, too.” ELEVEN Runaway “Where is she?” Nathalie shouted, her voice taking on a feverish pitch. “She’s not here, Mom,” Harper said, and rubbed her forehead. This was not at all how she imagined their weekly visit going. She’d actually considered not coming today, but her father was busy meeting with Bernie’s lawyer, Dean Stanton. Harper had even thought about hanging out with Daniel, but he was busy working on a job repairing someone’s fence. So Harper had mistakenly thought seeing her mother at the group home would be better than spending the day alone at the house. But things had been rough from the start. As soon as Nathalie ...

Lullaby (The Watersong Quartet #2)(18) Author: Amanda Hocking “You go ahead, Dad,” Harper said. “Daniel can take me home.” Her father hesitated before nodding. “Okay. I’ll see you later, then.” He leaned over and kissed Harper quickly on the temple before walking away. “So…” Harper said once her father had left. “Do you often peruse the obituaries for funerals?” “No.” Daniel stepped away, walking among the headstones, and Harper fell in step with him. “I’ve actually been checking the paper a lot for any info on Gemma.” “Oh, yeah,” Harper said. “I’ve been doing the same thing.” “So you haven’t heard anything from her yet?” Daniel asked, watching Harper as she spoke. “No. Alex has gotten a couple e-mails, but they’ve been false leads so far.” She sighed. “I have no idea where she is. And I don’t know what I’ll do if she never comes home.” “I hate to break it to you, but … you’ll live,” Daniel said solemnly. “Why do you make that sound like bad news?” “Because I’m under the imp...

The Billionaire's Desire 2: Dubai Confidental Author: Ashley Blake CHAPTER ONE I couldn’t believe how my life had changed in the last week.  Here I was at Chanel on Madison Avenue, with a corporate credit card, buying a handbag without thinking twice about the price tag.  I had to pinch myself when I thought about the incredible opportunity that had landed in my lap.  I was leaving for Dubai in two days, for a month on business, and the company was buying me a whole new designer wardrobe.  Joshua wanted me to only wear designer clothes on this trip.  I didn’t own any high end designer anything so this was going to be a completely new world for me.  It took a few hours for me to wrap my head around the fact that Joshua Hunter, billionaire CEO of Hunter International, the company where I worked, was the gorgeous stranger I had seen every morning on the train for the last few weeks!  I felt like I was in a dream watching someone else’s fabulous life th...

Lullaby (The Watersong Quartet #2)(16) Author: Amanda Hocking As much as Gemma hated to admit it, she knew Penn was right. So she let out a deep breath and looked up at her. “Fine. What do you want me to do?” “For starters, get in that ocean and swim before all your hair falls out and your skin starts to slide off.” Penn pointed to the water lapping on the beach. Gemma wasn’t sure if Penn was exaggerating, or if the next step in her deterioration really would be her skin falling off. But she didn’t want to find out, and she definitely knew it wasn’t in her best interest to push Penn right now. She got up and walked out into the ocean, giving in to the song that had been haunting her for days. The waves knocked her down, and she fell into them. When her legs didn’t turn, she began to panic. The familiar flutter of the transformation didn’t come. The waves started pulling her out to sea. She tried to swim and fight it, but she was too weak. The water was taking over, pulling her un...

What He Demands (My Alpha Billionaire #2)(11) Author: Tawny Taylor Rather than try to explain it all, I let it drop. The sooner we moved on, the sooner I could get my phone back…and see what Shane wanted. A couple of hours later, I was alone. And in possession of my phone again. With shaking hands, I powered it up and clicked on the message icon to open my messages. It was short. Succinct. Please tell me you made it home safely. Shane. I typed back. I did. Thanks. With my heart in my throat, I hit send. And then, every minute or two, for the next eight hours, I checked for a response. None. No message. None. Shit. Chapter 5 Someone was in my room. I could hear the soft sloughing of fabric, the muted thump, thump, thump of footsteps. I rolled onto my side, facing the door. It was dark. I couldn’t see. Moving slowly, hoping I wouldn’t make a sound, I inched toward the opposite side of the bed. I hoped the intruder couldn’t see me any better than I could see him. I hoped ...
