Charming Scottish Bastard


Book Description

Tasha Carter doesn’t do impulsive, but when it becomes clear her best friend’s HEA is at risk of turning into heartbreak, she doesn’t think twice about getting on a plane headed for Scotland. Now, all she has to do is keep one sexy-as-hell Scot from ruining her friend’s wedding. Grant Cameron is not surprised Tasha doesn’t trust him. He is a bastard. A charming one but a bastard. It’s only a problem because he wants to snog her. And then do more than snog. He just has to convince Tasha being a little impulsive will be so, so good. It takes Tasha five seconds to learn Grant is forthright to the point of recklessness. About ten to realize she is helpless fighting their attraction. And twenty to accept it’s not just her best friend courting heartbreak when it comes to falling for a Cameron man. She. Is. So. Screwed.




Scottish Bastard


Book Description

Ils se détestent. Pour le meilleur et pour le pire. Entre Quinn et Dawn, la guerre est déclarée : ils se détestent ! Quinn, homme d’affaires brillant et sûr de lui, est habitué à tout contrôler. Dawn, jeune femme pleine de vie, n’a pas l’habitude de rendre des comptes à qui que ce soit. Et quand elle décide d’épouser son vieil ami Fergus MacFayden, de soixante-six ans son aîné, elle a ses raisons. Mais Quinn, qui est le petit-fils de Fergus, ne l’entend pas de cette oreille et fera tout pour protéger la famille de cette jeune arriviste : il quitte précipitamment New York pour rentrer dans son Écosse natale et mettre de l’ordre dans cette situation aussi révoltante qu’embarrassante. Mais le plus gênant dans tout ça ? C’est que Dawn ne le laisse pas, mais alors pas du tout indifférent ! Le reconnaître ? Jamais ! Craquer pour elle ? Hors de question. Faire comme si elle n’existait pas ? Impossible. Après le succès d'Indompté, retrouvez Ana K. Anderson dans le percutant Scottish Bastard, avec un bonus inédit ! Scottish Bastard a anciennement été publié sous le titre Sexy Scandal. *** Dawn est là, essoufflée, les joues roses et se stoppe net quand nos regards s’entrechoquent. Elle est comme la flamme dansante d’une bougie dans l’obscurité du couloir avec sa crinière flamboyante. Mais je n’ai rien à lui dire, surtout pas à elle. – Pour ton bien, laisse-moi tranquille Dawn. – Fergus compte pour moi… – Je n’y crois pas un seul instant ! – Ne dis pas ça sans savoir. Il est le grand-père que je n’ai jamais eu. Il est mon ami, on s’est rencontré il y a six mois. Et je peux t’affirmer que je n’ai pas débarqué dans sa vie du jour au lendemain pour lui voler son magot. Je me rapproche d’elle sans la quitter des yeux, je la surplombe, mais elle ne recule pas et me défie, droite comme un « i ». Une pulsion tordue me saisit, j’ai envie de l’attraper par les cheveux et de la soumettre pour lui faire tout ce que je veux comme je veux à même la moquette de ce couloir, et me débarrasser de ce sentiment oppressant qui outrepasse ma raison et me court-circuite les neurones. Comme lorsqu’elle a touché mon bras tout à l’heure. – Alors, pourquoi tu l’épouses ? Donne-moi juste une seule bonne raison et peut-être que je reconsidérerai ma position. Elle cille et se mord la lèvre puis finalement regarde le sol pour me dire : – Je ne peux pas. J’ai promis. C’est à Fergus de te le dire. *** Scottish Bastard, d'Ana K. Anderson, histoire intégrale.

Hotel Kerobokan


Book Description

You won't believe what happens inside Indonesia's most notorious jail! FROM THE ACCLAIMED AUTHOR OF TRUE CRIME BESTSELLERS SNOWING IN BALI AND OPERATION PLAYBOY: Kathryn Bonella. Welcome to Hotel Kerobokan, the ironic nickname for Kerobokan Jail, Bali's most notorious prison, which has been home to a procession of the infamous and tragic, true criminals you will have heard of: the Bali Bombers, Gold Coast beautician Schapelle Corby and the Bali Nine, among many others. Backed up by hundreds of true life prisoner interviews, the truth about Hotel Kerobokan explodes off the page. In these filthy and disease-ridden cells, a United Nations of prisoners live crushed together in misery. Criminal gangs, petty thieves and small-time drug users share cells with killers and rapists. Hardened drug traffickers sleep alongside unlucky tourists, who've seen their holiday turn from paradise to hell over one ecstasy tablet. Hotel Kerobokan reveals the true life wild 'sex nights' organised by corrupt guards for prisoners who have the money to pay, the rampant drug use, the suicides and killings, and days out at the beach. It exposes the jail's role in supplying high-grade drugs to the outside, the criminal gang that rules the jail through terror, the corruption that means anything is for sale, and the squalor and misery endured by prisoners. From the internationally bestselling author of Snowing in Bali and Operation Playboy and co-author of Schapelle Corby's autobiography, this is the shocking, true life inside story of Bali's most notorious jail.
