Inheritance

Inheritance The Lost Bride Trilogy, Book 1 by Nora Roberts

Inheritance is the first in The Lost Bride Trilogy by #1 New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts—a tale of tragedies, loves found and lost, and a family haunted for generations. 1806: Astrid Poole sits in her bridal clothes, overwhelmed with happiness. But before her marriage can be consummated, she is murdered, and the circle of gold torn from her finger. Her last words are a promise to Collin never to leave him… Graphic designer Sonya MacTavish is stunned to learn that her late father had a twin he never knew about—and that her newly discovered uncle, Collin Poole, has left her almost everything he owned, including a majestic Victorian house on the Maine coast, which the will stipulates she must live in it for at least three years. Her engagement recently broken, she sets off to find out why the boys were separated at birth—and why it was all kept secret until a genealogy website brought it to light. Trey, the young lawyer who greets her at the sprawling clifftop manor, notes Sonya’s unease—and acknowledges that yes, the place is haunted…but just a little. Sure enough, Sonya finds objects moved and music playing out of nowhere. She sees a painting by her father inexplicably hanging in her deceased uncle’s office, and a portrait of a woman named Astrid, whom the lawyer refers to as “the first lost bride.” It’s becoming clear that Sonya has inherited far more than a house. She has inherited a centuries-old curse, and a puzzle to be solved if there is any hope of breaking it…

In fact, he’s loved her since high school. She was just too traumatized by life to see it. But she sees it now. She feels it. She lives and breathes it. Gunner Penn lost her once.

If he didn't hire me to help his daughter, I'd suspect the man sold his soul for success. He's classically handsome. Confident. Scratch that. He's one cocky mo-fo. Admittedly, I don't have the best track record at picking decent guys, but I'm pretty positive this brooding billionaire with a massive ego is one flashing red warning light. I agree with his unorthodox plan to move into his home as a favor to a mutual friend. Plus, I need the money and his offer is one I can't refuse, not when the rehabilitation center I founded is running in the red. The egotistical businessman flat-out told me everyone has a price . The longer I spend in his oceanfront mansion surrounded by gun-toting security and closed-door meetings, the question I find myself asking is, what is mine? Sure of One is a steamy billionaire, forbidden romantic suspense featuring an illicit contract between a former military alpha silver fox and his daughter's therapist. Sure of One is the second standalone romance in the Arrow Tactical Series and is part of the Wolf trilogy, a modern-day take on Little Red Riding Hood.

New York Times bestselling author Laura Griffin “delivers the goods” ( Publishers Weekly ) again with this gripping, “spellbinding” ( Fresh Fiction ) thriller full of twists and turns—the twelfth in her bestselling Tracers series.

But as the investigation—and their relationship—heats up, Sean realizes that keeping his work and his personal life separate is more complicated than he ever imagined; especially when the killer sets his sights on Brooke. With Griffin’s signature “fully fleshed characters, dry humor, and tight plotting” ( Publishers Weekly ), Touch of Red demonstrates why she is one of the most acclaimed and popular authors of sexy thrillers today.

Covered in tattoos and leather, he's a smoking hot biker and nothing but trouble. As the president of the Dirty Aces MC, Malcolm is known for being cold and calculating. One bad decision – getting into business with the wrong person – is all it takes to bring down the entire MC. It's happened before to his predecessor, which is why Malcolm refuses to let it happen again on his watch. He doesn't trust anyone except for the few men who wear the same ace of spades patch on their back. And that's exactly why he doesn't ever take his eyes off of me – the new girl. I never intended to make an enemy out of Malcolm or the MC when I was sent to steal everything I could from them. ~ DEVLIN ~ As one of the enforcers for the Dirty Aces, sometimes I have to hurt people. Using my fists to get results is not something I enjoy – it's just part of the job. My loyalty will always be to the MC and no one else. So just because Jetta James is a hot as hell girl I once hooked up with at a rock concert, it doesn't mean I can give her brother a break on the gambling debt he owes to the Aces. When Jetta finds out I'm a member of the MC, she thinks I'm bad news; but her brother Sean is the one drowning in his bad decisions. ~ NASH ~ Whenever Nash Kincaid looks in the mirror, he only sees a monster who ruins lives.

The last thing Nash needs right now is a nosy new neighbor who refuses to leave him alone. If Lucy knew Nash's dark secrets, he's certain that she would run the other way rather than try her best to get into his bed. Thanks to a failed marriage, he knows he can never be the man Lucy needs him to be, not while he's a member of the MC with a life sentence hanging over his head. ~ SILAS ~ A late-night attack at her home convinces Cora that leaving Carolina Beach behind to start over in witness protection is her only choice. What Cora doesn't know is that the tough, no-nonsense FBI agent who swoops in to protect her is not who he says he is. In fact, he's the last man she should ever trust. ~ WIRTH ~ After a patch-over party turns into a near-fatal shootout that injures several members, the Dirty Aces MC is left reeling. Wirth feels especially guilty since he wasn't at the bar when his brothers needed him the most. Instead, he had left with a beautiful, mysterious woman, making some of the new members question his loyalty to the club. Needing to clear his own name, Wirth intends to find out who the rat is within the MC. Suspicious of the new girl, Maeve, he decides to try and get closer to her to determine where her true loyalties lie. ~ FIASCO ~ When he takes two bullets during a shooting, Fiasco nearly loses his life. And in a way, dying may have been the easy way out. But once he saw Joanna's face, the angelic nurse doing everything she could to save his life, he wanted nothing more than to live.

He made a fatal mistake.   He lusted after the wrong woman. Let his need take over.  Cassius “Cass” Striker knew that he should have never touched the sexy FBI agent, but he gave in to temptation and had the best one-night stand of his life with Agnes Quinn. It should have meant nothing. He should have been able to walk away… He can’t walk away. If he does, she’s dead. His enemies know about Agnes, and they plan to use her against him. He’s the leader of one of the most notorious motorcycle clubs in the US. His name stirs fear into the hearts of nearly everyone…and he has a giant target on his back. Those who want to bring him down have been looking for a weakness to use against him—they think they found that weakness in the form of Agnes. Now he either saves her or he watches her die. She doesn’t need saving, but it’s super sweet of him to try. She fell for the bad guy. Not something that typically happens given her occupation, but Agnes couldn’t quite help herself. She’d been drawn to Cass from the first moment, and now the world—uh, the “underworld” thinks that they are hot and heavy, that she’s a way to break the unbreakable leader of the Night Strikers. Cass is vowing to protect her, but the only way to do that? Enter his world. Accept his claim. Eliminate all the threats that exist to them both. She has to go in undercover, continuing to pose as Cass’s lover as they embark on a cross-country trip. She has to follow his rules. She has to seemingly sever her ties with the FBI. In other words, Agnes has to go deep and hard in an undercover mission as she and Cass take out some seriously bad guys.  No worries, though. Agnes does love an undercover mission, so this should be fun. The case is a nightmare. It is not fun. And if Agnes flashes her sexy smile at him one more time… Cass is sure that he’s lost his soul, and he’s not even sure where his criminal life ends and the real man that he’d once been begins.  He knows one thing, though. Agnes is trouble—and he wants her. Wants her so badly that maybe he’ll let the dark side of his nature off the careful leash he holds. And he’ll take what he wants as he damns the consequences.  Threaten her? Try to use her against him ? Worst mistake his enemies could ever make because Agnes is his.  Cass was never meant to be a protector, but he sure is one hell of a hunter.

Maisy Feldman has lived in a haze for years, coming out of it only recently to learn the brother she thought she knew was a man she no longer recognizes. Evil. A monster. And he’s about to prove it again—by forcing her to marry a stranger. It’s the only way she can gain access to her inheritance, and Jason wants that money. Badly. Badly enough to kidnap a man and force him to marry Maisy long enough to fulfill the stipulations attached to her parents’ will. But Jason has no idea who he’s kidnapped…and he certainly didn’t count on Maisy falling in love with her handsome fake husband.  Jack “Stone” Wickett has woken up in a haze, utterly unable to recall anything about his life apart from his first name. Not even the pretty, timid woman he’s told is his wife, or the shady, nasty man who calls himself his brother-in-law. Jack doesn’t understand the dangerous undercurrents ever present in the house, the palpable tension between Maisy and Jason, the vague details they share about his life that don’t seem right. In fact, the only thing that makes sense is Maisy herself. He may not remember his wife, but being in her arms is like coming home.  Until his memory returns… With the help of his friends at The Refuge, Jack and Maisy flip the script on her dastardly brother, but it’s by no means a happily ever after. Jack can’t just forget Maisy’s part in his kidnapping. And while he struggles to forgive her betrayal, Jason is still out there…willing to do whatever it takes to get his hands on Maisy’s millions. ** Deserving Maisy is the 6th book in The Refuge Series. Each book is a stand-alone, with no cliffhanger endings.
