Kind of Cursed

Dyed, pierced, and covered in tattoos, Wren Blanchard is the exact opposite of everything Dr. Lee Hawthorne thought he wanted. His residency is almost finished. With the perfect job, the beautiful house, and the polished girlfriend, he knows he should be happy, yet he isn't. But once Wren lands in his ER with her sharp tongue and artist's soul, she leaves a mark on him that just won't fade. Wren knows the good doctor is way out of her league. To people like him, she's a circus freak. Besides, she's not the type to get hung up on guys, especially ones with midnight blue eyes-ones who know all about antiques, crack bad jokes, and love Joss Whedon. No. She doesn't need that. After all, she has friends, a psychotic cat, and a promising career as one of the best tattoo artists in town. And it's enough. Really, it is. Or it would be if Lee weren't there every time she turned around. One kiss seals their fate. Their attraction is undeniable--but Wren's past is full of ghosts. Is their bond strong enough for a solid future? Or will their new relationship crumble beneath the weight of all she carries?

Leave a Mark

He doesn't even own a TV.A South Louisiana native, Beau's mission in life is to preserve his Cajun culture. The full-time French teacher and part-time dance instructor is only working with this Hollywood head case to help out his uncle.It's not because she's beautiful even when she's embarrassing herself. It's not because she's as funny as she is kind. And it's definitely not because she just might need him as much as he needs her.

When she meets a gorgeous stranger who makes her laugh and steals her breath, it seems like the icing on the cake... Until Charlie discovers he's a client. Hutch Barlow - newly drafted wide receiver for the Oakland Raiders - looks like an avenging angel, hangs on her every word, and is completely off-limits. The trouble is he also refuses to take "no" for an answer. And if she's being honest, Charlie doesn't want him to. But seeing him means she could lose everything - including her heart. Off Limits by Kristin Vayden Everything about Ava screams off limits. To want her is to invite disaster. To pursue her is to risk my job. To kiss her might cost me my best friend. But all those risks seem small in light of the first problem. She hates me. To her I'm a sell out, choosing to advance my career rather than protect my biggest client. Her brother. And my best friend. She hasn't spoken to me in over a year, but that ends now. Because I'm done with holding back. To hell with the consequences. Wish me luck . . .
