Pregnant by the Playboy


Book Description

Meet Vince Fong... I’ve got a pretty great life, if I do say so myself. I made a fortune when I sold my tech start-up, and I’ve spent the years since partying, drinking, and inviting a parade of women into my bed. I should be happy, but I feel an annoying lack of fulfillment, and there’s no way I’m going back to the work I did before. At a friend’s party, I meet Marissa. We have hot sex against the door and agree to spend the weekend together. Just one weekend. I never expect to see her again. Except now she’s pregnant with my baby…and I think this is the solution to all my problems. This is what will bring meaning to my life. I’m going to be a devoted father and husband. Marissa—whose last name I still don’t know—wants me to be involved, though she rejects my marriage proposal. But before the baby arrives, I’m going to prove to her that I can be something other than a playboy. And the rare times I set my mind to something, I don’t fail… Jackie Lau writes soft and steamy romances with Asian characters, all set in Canada.

Sworn to Him


Book Description

The steamy, sizzling, fun and quirky fifth book in the best-selling series THE BILLIONAIRE'S BECK AND CALL, is now available as a full novel! This romance has an HEA, no cheating, and can be enjoyed as a standalone for those who haven't read the other books in this beloved series! Damien Black... And to think, when I woke up this morning, head splitting from the wild night before, I worried today might be boring. Then again, when you were a billionaire with nothing to do except whatever you pleased, that was always your greatest fear: that boredom would creep into your life with no cure in sight. When you've seen it all and done it all, every party tends to look the same--every supermodel blends in with all the others, and each bottle of fine champagne is identical to the last. And in the end, all you have to show for your day is a hangover and the fact that you kept boredom at bay for one more day... barely. But this--this little thief with her big dolls eyes and her tight little body squirming in my arms--this was something new. Something exciting. No one ever dared cross me, the heir to the Black family's steel empire, or my family, for that matter. We ran this town, and everything and everyone knew it. No one messed with Damien Black... which is why I couldn't just let this little lady go. No, no. She was far too interesting to just set free. And beneath those baggy clothes and boy's baseball cap, she was far, far too pretty... Lilly Maverick... Stealing's easy. It's living honestly that's hard, which is why I stick with what I know. I was taught how to lift a wallet before I learned how to throw a ball or ride a bike, and over the years I got damn good at it. They say if you're good at something, you should make a living out of it, and you'll never work a day in your life... or something like that. Who the hell knows what normal folk do, with their 9-to-5's and their white picket fences? I sure ain't one of them, and I make my way the best way I know how. That's how I came to be in possession of the wallet of Mr. Damien Black, billionaire playboy, on that fateful June day, and how he suckered me into being his. Normally, I wouldn't spit on a man like him if he were on fire, even if he was the most gorgeous man I'd ever seen in my life. Folks like him and folks like me didn't mix, and that was that. Well, usually. But when I bumped into him as we waited in a crowd together at the crosswalk, we made eye contact for the briefest of moments. And it was then, I knew, my life was about to change forever... This often funny, devilishly charming romance has it all--lust, lies, love, and above all, an ending that you'll remember long after you put this book down!

The latest volunteer to be "indoctrinated" into the Cauldron is the sassy, full-figured Abigail-who already belongs to the Cauldron's biggest rival.

She's in love with Brall's rival, Case, the young stud gang leader she's known her whole life. Abigail will do anything to make Case jealous. Their love is so taboo, she has no choice but to give her body up to the mammoth Brall and his overwhelming brutal passions to spur Case to act on his possessive, forbidden lust.Complicating everything, Abigail's insatiable need for Case's attention drives a wedge between herself and her beautiful best friend, Robin-who's in the midst of an uncontrollable love affair with Brall! After a sinfully short tryst, the disastrously gorgeous Robin and the ripped, dangerous Brall know they belong together-their lust-laden love is true and unquestionable.
