BECOMING DANTE
Day Leclaire
Book Nine: Gabe and Kat

All his life, Gabe Moretti has denied his Dante heritage–but when he meets Kat Malloy, his late wife’s cousin, the Dante Inferno cannot be ignored.

He tells himself it’s only business–her hand in exchange for a necklace his mother created. But when one touch leads to another–and a kiss leads to more– Gabe realizes he’s in over his head. Because Kat has secrets he needs to uncover. And now he’ll have to do the one thing he’s sworn never to do–go to his Dante relatives to find out the truth about this powerful passion….

COWBOY IN THE CROSSFIRE
Robin Perini
Unjust accusations shattered Blake Redmond's big-city police career—and destroyed everything around him. Now, all this sheriff lives for is keeping watch over his small Texas town…until Amanda Hawthorne and her five-year-old son come fleeing out of a snowstorm with killers on their trail. 


The terror Blake sees in the young boy's eyes makes Blake swear to protect him and his injured mother. But winning Amanda's trust is as difficult as resisting the passion drawing him to this beautiful, determined woman. With their every move thwarted and time running out, the only way Blake can clear his name and save this little family is to confront his own dangerous past—no matter what the cost.

A MARRIAGE WORTH FIGHTING FOR
Lilian Darcy
First Book of the McKinley Medics Trilogy

When Alicia McKinley agreed to a whirlwind Las Vegas wedding, she'd been swept away by the sheer romance of it all. How could she not say "I do" to Michael James McKinley, the gorgeous doctor who offered her everything she'd ever dreamed of? Still, after years of coming in second to MJ's career, it was time to say "I don't" to the workaholic husband who took her totally for granted.

But MJ is not a man who gives up without a fight. He and Alicia might not have a perfect marriage, but now that he knows what is on the line, he is determined to risk everything—including his heart—for a second chance with his wife!

A NIGHT OF NO RETURN
Sarah Morgan

Private Lives of Public Playboys Book 1

Money, charm and sensual skills don't make up for a heart colder than ice...


Wild parties, wanton women, relentless work-nothing helps tycoon L ucas Jackson escape his dark and haunting past. Arriving at his rural castle in a snarling snowstorm, he craves only complete isolation.... But it seems oblivion can take an unexpected and highly intoxicating form!

Personally delivering the vital file left on her boss's desk, secretary Emma Gray starts to seriously regret her dutiful overtime mission. She never expected the dark side of the usually controlled Lucas could generate such a primitive, powerful-and entirely inappropriate-reaction.

WE'LL ALWAYS HAVE PARIS
Jessica Hart


"I've Done It!"

Clara is a production assistant for a TV film-making company and she’s got a new project. Romance: Fact or Fiction is make-or-break for Clara’s future, and her first challenge is to get Simon Valentine, financial guru turned prime-time pin-up, to front the program.

  13. What a great group of novels--I want you ALL to win! Congratulations to all the finalists; I'm looking forward to checking out each and every story. My favorite romantic comedy is "Love Actually." I could watch the scene where Colin Firth's Jamie proposes to Aurelia in broken Portuguese a hundred times and it would still melt my heart.

    Favorite romantic comedy:

    CRAZY STUPID LOVE I have never laughed that much while I watched a movie!

  25. The Proposal with Sandra Bullock is the one I think of first, although there are others - older ones: many with Cary Grant: Bringing Up Baby; Houseboat; I Was a Male War Bride; Father Goose. In fact, a lot of the older movies were romantic comedies and I still enjoy seeing them today.
