With his passion for romance novels, it was only a matter of time before Vlad wrote one.
Elena Konnikova has lived her entire adult life in the shadows. As the daughter of a Russian journalist who mysteriously disappeared, she escaped danger the only way she knew how: She married her childhood friend, Vladimir, and moved to the United States, where he is a professional hockey player in Nashville.
Vlad, aka the Russian, thought he could be content with his marriage of convenience. But it’s become too difficult to continue in a one-sided relationship. He joined the Bromance Book Club to learn how to make his wife love him, but all he’s learned is that he deserves more. He’s ready to create his own sweeping romance—both on and off the page.
The bros are unwilling to let Vlad forgo true love—and this time they’re not operating solo. They join forces with Vlad’s neighbors, a group of meddling widows who call themselves the Loners. But just when things finally look promising, Elena’s past life intrudes and their happily ever after is cast into doubt.

Noah’s pals in The Bromance Book Club are more than willing to share their beloved “manuals” to help him go from bud to boyfriend. But he must decide if telling the truth is worth risking the best friendship he’s ever had.
Country music’s golden boy Colton Wheeler felt the most perfect harmony when he was with Gretchen Winthrop. But for her, it was a love him and leave him situation. A year later, Colton is struggling to push his music forward in a new direction. If it weren’t about to be the most magical time of year and the support of the Bromance Book Club, he’d be wallowing in self-pity.
It’s hard for immigration attorney Gretchen not to feel a little Scrooge-ish about the excess of Christmas when her clients are scrambling to afford their rent. So when her estranged, wealthy family reaches out with an offer that will allow her to better serve the community, she’s unable to say no. She just needs to convince Colton to be the new face of her family’s whiskey brand. No big deal…
Colton agrees to consider Gretchen’s offer in exchange for three dates before Christmas.

But Gretchen and Colton will both need to overcome the ghosts of Christmas past to build a future together.
His career is on the line. After a lackluster season and a disastrous performance that cost his team the World Series, Vegas Aces Pitcher Eric Weaver now faces an ultimatum from team management: Fix what’s wrong with his game by the end of spring training, or else. When they tell him they’re bringing in a new pitching coach to tweak his technique, he grits his teeth and agrees to be coached like a Little Leaguer again. He has sacrificed everything for his career and will do whatever it takes to save it. Until they tell him who the new coach is. Her career is finally taking off. Nicki Bates has worked her entire life to achieve one goal—to land a top coaching job in the Majors. But when she finally gets the call she’s been waiting for, she realizes Fate has a sick sense of humor. The only team willing to take a chance on her is Eric Weaver’s? Seven years ago, he dumped her cold when the Aces called him up from the minor leagues, and she vowed then she would never let something like love distract her from her goals again. But when secrets from the past are revealed, the lingering sparks between them reignite into a fiery passion neither can ignore. Will the heat destroy everything they’ve worked for? Or will a second chance at love prove the greatest victory of all?
That’s all 21-year-old Bree McTavish has left until she’ll finally have enough money to get out of her seaside hometown where the only thing more famous than the rolling sand dunes dotting the shoreline are the Silver Lake Sluggers. Every June, the nation’s top college baseball players descend on her tiny Michigan town to chase their big-time dreams in front of fans and Major League scouts. And every August, they leave behind a trail of broken hearts and mysterious stains in the bedrooms of the boarding house where Bree works as a cook to hone her skills for culinary school.
Bree hates summer. Hates baseball. Hates this tiny town.
If only she could hate him.
One more chance.
Jax Tanner knows this is it—one last season of summer ball before his dreams of being a Major League draft pick dry up and scatter in the wind like the dunes of Silver Lake. Once a Top 20 prospect, he’s now a wait-and-see thanks to a shoulder injury. If he doesn’t literally hit a homerun—lots of them—the only baseball in his future might be the community rec team sponsored by his family’s hardware chain. But baseball isn’t Jax’s only unfinished business in Silver Lake. There’s also her. Bree McTavish. The sexy-as-hell girl who cooks for the team has bunted his every attempt at finding her sweet spot again after a hot night on the beach two years ago. He has no idea what scared her off, but he’s not leaving until he finds out.
It’s time for a new game plan.
And Jax has never met a change-up he couldn’t knock out of the park.
One hot prospect
When a grand-slam of a secret is revealed, Bree realizes the only person she can fully trust is Jax. But when new opportunities arise, old fears intrude again. Can she learn to love the game, or will she lose her one hot prospect for true love when the Long Ball Boys pack up and leave with summer’s end?

Cheffe pâtissière dans un restaurant de prestige, Liv pensait avoir décroché le job idéal. Jusqu’à ce qu’elle se fasse renvoyer pour avoir surpris son boss en train de harceler une employée. Depuis, Liv n’a qu’une idée en tête : le mettre hors d’état de nuire. Pour y parvenir, elle voudrait bien pouvoir se passer des services de Braden Mack, cet homme d’affaires riche et sexy, bien trop protecteur à son goût, qui insiste pour l’aider. Mais elle n’a pas le choix : elle va devoir œuvrer dans l’ombre avec lui si elle veut faire tomber son ancien chef. Ce qui s’avère épineux car, même si Mack a le don de l’exaspérer, sa présence magnétique provoque en elle des sensations incontrôlables…
S’il y a une chose que Mack ne supporte pas, ce sont les hommes de pouvoir qui se croient tout permis. Alors, quand la volcanique Liv lui raconte que son ex-patron tente de l’intimider, son sang ne fait qu’un tour. Il va faire payer ce salaud et, au passage, prouver à Liv qu’il n’est pas le play-boy futile qu’elle imagine. Mais comment aider une femme qui se braque à la moindre suggestion, la seule que son charme laisse indifférente ?

Ein Weihnachtsroman aus der beliebten Bestseller-Reihe «The Secret Book Club». Unabhängig lesbar.
Colton Wheeler ist ein erfolgreicher Musiker. Seit seinem letzten Album leidet er allerdings unter einer kreativen Blockade. Und auch privat läuft es nicht gut. Die letzte Frau, die ihn ernsthaft interessierte – die Anwältin Gretchen Winthrop –, hat ihn nach einem One-Night-Stand ohne Erklärung abserviert.
Doch dann meldet sich Gretchen plötzlich wieder. Wenn auch nur, weil sie von ihren Verwandten dazu genötigt wurde. Sie soll ihn bitten, zum Werbegesicht für den Weihnachtswhiskey des Familienunternehmens zu werden. Colton lässt sich darauf ein, unter einer Bedingung: Gretchen geht bis Heiligabend drei Mal mit ihm aus. Vielleicht bekommt er jetzt endlich seine Erklärung und eine zweite Chance.
Die Jungs aus dem Secret Book Club stehen ihm natürlich mit Rat und Tat zur Seite. Doch weder sie noch der Weihnachtsroman, den sie gerade zusammen lesen, können Gretchen und Colton ihr Happy End garantieren. Dafür müssen erst die Wunden heilen, die ihnen in der Vergangenheit zugefügt wurden …
Wie schreibt man am besten einen Liebesroman? Indem man ihn selbst erlebt!

Also gesteht er ihr endlich, dass er eine echte Beziehung will. Im Gegensatz zu Elena. Sie will die Scheidung. Aber dann verletzt Vlad sich im wichtigsten Spiel seiner Karriere, und Elena weicht ihm nicht von der Seite. Gibt es doch noch Hoffnung?

«Die Liebesgeschichte ist herzzerreißend, hat aber viel Humor. Sie bietet sowohl Fans der Serie als auch neuen Leser:innen beste Unterhaltung.» Library Journal
Gavin avait tout. Une belle gueule. Une carrière au top. Une épouse dévouée et deux adorables jumelles. Pourtant, du jour au lendemain, Thea le fiche à la porte et demande le divorce. À l’entendre, il l’aurait terriblement déçue. Lui ! Une légende vivante du base-ball, adulée par des millions de fans.
OK, Gavin s’est peut-être comporté comme un crétin égoïste, mais aujourd’hui il est prêt à tout pour sauver son mariage. Même à intégrer ce club ultra-secret dans lequel le traîne son coéquipier. Un club de lecture de romances, réservé aux mecs qui veulent mieux comprendre les femmes… Honnêtement, il a du mal à croire que ces histoires à l’eau de rose – pardon, ces « manuels » – puissent l’aider à reconquérir Thea. Mais puisque les autres ont pu sauver leur couple grâce aux conseils de « Lord Benedict », alors… qu’on lui passe ce bouquin, et vite !
