Darlene GardnerOctober 11, 2016

Darlene Gardner

Updated Edition! Available digitally for the first time!

To FBI agent Max Dolinger, the world is black and white. He doesn't make moves on a buddy's girlfriend, doesn't turn the other way when a wrong has been committed and definitely never fights to keep criminals out of jail.

Then a desperate Sara Reynolds, now his buddy's ex, sweeps back into his life pleading for help. Sara needs Max to find his friend, who's missing along with thousands in cash. And, oh yeah, Sara's younger brother could go to jail if Max fails.

Trouble is, Max thinks there's a pretty good chance Sara's brother belongs in jail. But how can he refuse to help Sara, even if it means his principles will be tested to the max? And by sticking to them, he could lose the only woman he's ever truly loved?

Forget Me? Not (A Romantic Comedy)

Darlene Gardner

Updated Edition! Originally published by Harlequin Duets.

Amanda Baldwin isn't keen on eavesdroppers. Especially when the eavesdropper hears her fiancé call off their long-awaited wedding--after the invitations have already been sent!

Never mind that the eavesdropper, the irrepressible Zach Castelli, wants to help Amanda get over her heartache by showing her life on the wild side. Or that Zach is a bonafide hunk. He's her polar opposite, a beach bum who can't commit to anything and calls marriage the state of "unhappily ever after."

As her few weeks around Zach count down to an inevitable end, though, the question isn't whether Amanda will be able to forget her fiancé. It's whether she'll ever forget Zach.

The Mister

E L James

The #1 New York Times bestseller—a thrilling new romance from E L James, author of the phenomenal bestselling Fifty Shades Trilogy.

London, 2019. Life has been easy for Maxim Trevelyan. With his good looks, aristocratic connections, and money, he’s never had to work and he’s rarely slept alone. But all that changes when tragedy strikes and Maxim inherits his family’s noble title, wealth, and estates, and all the responsibility that entails. It’s a role he’s not prepared for and one that he struggles to face.

But his biggest challenge is fighting his desire for an unexpected, enigmatic young woman who’s recently arrived in England, possessing little more than a dangerous and troublesome past. Reticent, beautiful, and musically gifted, she’s an alluring mystery, and Maxim’s longing for her deepens into a passion that he’s never experienced and dares not name. Just who is Alessia Demachi? Can Maxim protect her from the malevolence that threatens her? And what will she do when she learns that he’s been hiding secrets of his own?

From the heart of London through wild, rural Cornwall to the bleak, forbidding beauty of the Balkans, The Mister is a roller-coaster ride of danger and desire that leaves the reader breathless to the very last page.

The Misconception: A Romantic Comedy

Darlene Gardner

An updated edition with a never-before-seen epilogue

The sperm donor she hired has gone AWOL, so who's the man in her bed? A misunderstanding of biological proportions.

A man is good for only one thing.

Dr. Marietta Dalrymple wants a baby, but all she wants from a man is his sperm. A professor of evolutionary biology, Marietta can explain away romantic love with scholarly theories of why men and women are compelled to copulate. Monogamy, she believes, is a state most males can't achieve.

So what is Marietta to do after she mistakes Cash "Jax" Jackson for the carefully screened sperm donor she hired to impregnate her? Especially when Jax doesn't know about the legal document the other man signed relinquishing all rights to the child.

Jax soon sets his sights on more than Marietta's unborn baby. But can he prove to her that romantic love truly exists? Or will the secret he's keeping destroy any chance these unlikely lovers have at happiness?
