Hard Play

Welche Chance hat eine Liebe, für die man seine Träume aufgeben muss? Sailor Bishop hat nur ein Ziel: ein erfolgreiches Unternehmen aufzubauen! Diesem Traum hat er sein Leben verschrieben, und er investiert seine ganze Energie und Zeit, um ihn wahr werden zu lassen. Ablenkung kann er daher absolut nicht gebrauchen - auch nicht in Form seiner neuen Auftraggeberin. Doch die schöne Ísa Rain macht Sailor unmissverständlich klar, dass sie mehr von ihm will als nur einen unvergesslichen Kuss. Viel zu lange hat sie ausschließlich das getan, was andere von ihr erwarten. Sailor muss sich entscheiden: zwischen der Frau, die sein Herz berührt wie keine andere zuvor, und seinem großen Traum! Auftakt der neuen Serie von SPIEGEL-Bestseller-Autorin Nalini Singh

Then he comes face-to-face and lips-to-lips with a woman who blushes like an innocent... and kisses like pure sin. Ísa Rain craves a man who will cherish her, aches to create a loving family of her own. Trading steamy kisses with a hot gardener in a parking lot? Not the way to true love. Then a deal with the devil (aka her CEO-mother) makes Ísa a corporate VP for the summer. Her main task? Working closely with a certain hot gardener. And Sailor Bishop has wickedness on his mind. As Ísa starts to fall for a man who makes her want to throttle and pounce on him at the same time, she knows she has to choose – play it safe and steady, or risk all her dreams and hope Sailor doesn’t destroy her heart. Contains mature themes.

New York Times bestselling author Nalini Singh continues her Hard Play series with a sweet, sexy romance featuring big, fat, OTT weddings, a meddling grandma, and a too-serious hero who needs to be unbuttoned… Nayna Sharma agreed to an arranged marriage in the hope it would heal the fractures in her beloved family… only to realize too late that a traditional marriage is her personal nightmare. Panicked, she throws caution to the winds, puts on the tiniest dress she can find, and ends up in the arms of a tall, rough-edged hunk of a man who has abs of steel—and who she manages to mortally insult between one kiss and the next. Abandoned as a child, then adopted into a loving family, Raj Sen believes in tradition, in continuity. Some might call him stiff and old-fashioned, but he knows what he wants—and it’s a life defined by rules… yet he can’t stop thinking about the infuriating and sexy woman who kissed him in the moonlight then disappeared. When his parents spring an introduction on him, the last woman he expects is her. Beautiful. Maddening. A rulebreaker in the making. He’s all wrong for her. She’s all wrong for him. And love is about to make rebels of them both. Contains mature themes.
