When I’m offered the chance to leave New York to live in London for three months, I can’t pack my suitcase fast enough. As soon as I touch down, I’m obsessing over red telephone boxes, palaces, and all the black cabs. But my favorite place is the tube. It’s wall-to-wall hot British men in suits.

The moment I laid eyes on the new photographer at work, I had his number. Cocky, arrogant, and super-wealthy, women were eating out of his hand as soon as his tight ass crossed the threshold of our office. But not me. I knew better. When we were forced to go to Paris together for an assignment, I wasn’t interested in his seductive smile, his sexy accent, or his dirty laugh. I wasn’t falling for his charms.

Cuando me ofrecen la oportunidad de dejar Nueva York para vivir en Londres durante tres meses, no puedo empacar mi maleta lo suficientemente rápido. Tan pronto como aterrizo, me obsesiono con las cabinas telefónicas rojas, los palacios y todos los taxis negros. Pero mi lugar favorito es el metro. Son hombres británicos de pared a pared en traje. Cuando me ofrecen un trabajo temporal trabajando para un abogado, le digo, inscríbeme. En mi primer viaje al trabajo, es un accidente total cuando pierdo el equilibrio y caigo contra el británico más guapo vivo.

Wanted: American nanny for an adorable four-year old. Must be able to handle a moody, brooding, sexy British boss. I’m a single father, a lawyer, and some say the most serious man in London. I’m completely focused on raising my four-year-old daughter. Since my wife walked out three years ago, the only woman who has ever caught my eye is the strictly off-limits sister-in-law of my best friend, Autumn Lumen. But temptation is easy to resist because Autumn is only visiting London from Oregon. Until she moves to London. The nanny quits. And she’s the only woman for the job.

I've been in love with Luke Daniels since, well, forever. As his sister's best friend, I've spent over a decade living in the friend zone, watching from the sidelines hoping he would notice me, pick me, love me. I want the fairy tale, and Luke is my Prince Charming. He's tall, with shoulders so broad he blocks out the sun. He's kind with a smile so dazzling he makes me forget everything that's wrong in the world. And he's the only man that can make me laugh until my cheeks hurt and my stomach cramps.

The first time I meet Madison Shore, I’m greeted by her knickers. She’s upside down and trying to untangle herself from my chair at a wedding. I get to see a whole lot more of her later that night. The second time I meet Madison Shore is in my London office. Turns out she’s a journalist writing an article about me. To keep control of my company, I need to convince people I’m more serious about business than my playboy reputation suggests. Madison holds my future in her hands.

I've made every one of my billions of dollars myself - I'm calculating, astute, and the best at what I do. It takes drive and dedication to build what I have. And it leaves no time for love or girlfriends or relationships. But don't get me wrong, I'm not a monk. I understand the attention and focus it takes to seduce a beautiful woman.

Mantengo separados mis dos mundos. En el trabajo, soy el rey de Wall Street. Los millonarios de Manhattan acuden a mí para ganar todavía más dinero. Hacen lo que yo les digo, porque siempre tengo razón. Soy astuto, exigente, y algunos dicen que despiadado. En casa, soy un padre soltero que trata de conseguir que su hija de catorce años siga siendo una niña el mayor tiempo posible.

I’m an all-or-nothing man - 100 percent focused on whatever has my attention. First it was serving my country in the Special Forces. Then it was building my business. Right now it’s the hot blonde at the bar who’s about to become another notch on my bedpost.

As one of Hollywood's A-listers, I have the movie industry in the palm of my hand. But if I'm going to stay at the top, my playboy image needs an overhaul. No more tabloid headlines. No more parties. And absolutely no more one-night stands. Filming for my latest blockbuster takes place on the coast of Maine, and I'm determined to stay out of trouble. But trouble finds me when I run into Lana Kelly.

My boyfriend is getting married. Okay, technically he's my ex-boyfriend. Two months ago, he decided he wanted a break. I still thought he was my happily ever after. On any other day, knowing he was gone for good would be the worst thing that could possibly happen. But not today. Because not only is my boyfriend getting married, his bride is my best friend. And they've sent me an invitation.

As a chief stewardess on luxury superyachts, I massage egos, pamper the spoiled, and cater to the most outlandish desires of the rich and famous. I've never had a guest want something I can't give them. Until British businessman Hayden Wolf comes aboard - all sexy swagger and mysterious requests. But guests are strictly off limits and I've never broken a rule. Not even bent one. My family are depending on me and I can't lose my job. Only problem is Hayden Wolf is looking at me like I just changed his life. And he's touching me like he's about to change mine.

Ever proposed marriage on a first date? To a guy you first met covered in whipped cream? (I haven't even mentioned the bit where he won our date at an auction) There's no ring in my pocket, but I really hope he says yes. Not because I'm in love with him—that would be ridiculous. He needs to impress my father and I need access to my trust fund. That's all our union will be about.

Meeting Beth Harrison in the first class cabin of my flight from Chicago to London throws me for a loop and everything I know about myself and women goes out the window. I’m usually good at reading people, situations, the markets. I know instantly if I can trust someone or if they’re lying. But Beth is contradictory and confounding I don’t know which way is up. She’s sweet but so much more, she makes my knees weak and mouth dry. She’s confident but so vulnerable, I want to wrap her up and protect her from the world.

I was born into British aristocracy, but I've made my fortune in Manhattan. New York is now my kingdom. Back in Britain, my family is fighting over who's the next Duke of Fairfax. The rules say it's me - if I'm married. It's not a trade-off worth making. I could never limit myself to just one woman. Or so I thought until my world is turned upside down. Now, the only way I can save the empire I built is to inherit the title I've never wanted - so I need a wife. To take my mind off business I need a night that's all pleasure.

Mi novio se va a casar. Técnicamente es mi ex novio. Hace dos meses decidió que quería un descanso. Todavía pensé que era mi feliz para siempre. En cualquier otro día, saber que se había ido para siempre sería lo peor que podría pasar. Pero hoy no. Porque mi novio no sólo se va a casar, su novia es mi mejor amiga. Y me han enviado una invitación. No hay forma de que vaya a asistir. No me importa si está en la hermosa Escocia.

Soy un hombre de todo o nada, que siempre se centra al cien por cien en lo que hace. Primero me dediqué a servir a mi país en las Fuerzas Especiales. Después me esforcé en que mi empresa fuera la mejor, y en este momento es la rubia del bar la que está a punto de convertirse en mi objetivo. Pero las mujeres nunca mantienen mi atención durante más de una noche. Hasta que Skylar Anderson se desnuda ante mí y su máscara empieza a agrietarse, mostrándome destellos de la mujer que es en realidad.

I’m not a good boyfriend. But I am the most successful jeweler of my generation, a loyal friI’m the most successful jeweler of my generation, a loyal friend and some say the most handsome man in London.

When she’s dazzled by the royal jewels my family crafted, she brings my world to a screeching halt.

Mit allen möglichen Mitteln versucht Kate, die Pläne des amerikanischen CEOs zu durchkreuzen, doch dabei kann sie nicht leugnen, dass zwischen ihnen eine unerklärliche Anziehung existiert. Und sosehr sich Kate auch dagegen wehrt, droht sie schon bald Vincents unwiderstehlichem Charme zu erliegen.
