'Tall, dark and handsome Dr Domenic Ericson is intelligent, wealthy and a truly gifted heart surgeon. He mends other people’s hearts, but what of his own? Other than his patients, he has spent his life avoiding the touch of humans whenever possible. That is until nurse Sophie O’Connor enters his life. He senses she has hidden talents - healing abilities - she isn’t even aware of, and he wants to get to know her better.

'Dedicated nurse Sophie O’Connor is the epitome of an Irish Colleen, with her flaming red hair, blue eyes and fair complexion. She dreams of meeting a knight in shining armor, like in the romance novels she loves to read, who will sweep her off her feet, appreciate her and treat her well. When she literally bumps into the handsome Dr Ericson at the hospital, her life changes in ways she has never imagined.

'When Luc Nightingale, Domenic’s charismatic godfather, meets Sophie, he’s certain there’s something strangely familiar about her. As Luc Nightingale is also the Devil, Lord of Darkness, it doesn’t take him long to work out that magic plays a big part in Sophie’s ancestry. Can Sophie and Domenic find their happy every after, with so many secrets in both their families?'

'Luc Nightingale is tired of being cast as the bad guy. Sure, he's the Devil, but the constant bad press is wearing thin. He needs a break from Hell, but to do that he has to find a successor.

'Harper Cole has no idea what she's getting into when she shakes hands on a deal with the Devil to hand over her firstborn son. Truth be told she has no intention of having kids. Thinking charismatic Luc is delusional, the idea of seducing him has her throwing caution to the wind. But she soon finds out she is indeed dealing with the Devil, and baby Domenic is born.

'Much to Harper's relief, Luc has decided that Domenic should live with her until he's fully grown. But having a handsome Devil popping in and out of Harper's daily life is hard. Especially when he's also popping in and out of Harper's bed ...'

'Ella Fairchild was an only child, adored by her widowed father Joshua, and everyone who knew her. But her life took on an ugly twist when Cynthia Sutherland appeared and bewitched Joshua, married him, and brought her two adult daughters into the family.

'James Prince knew when he met her, that Ella was innocence personified, and worth waiting for. She haunted his dreams, and whenever he thought of the future, he pictured her by his side.

'If Lauren Taylor had known Tommy Slater had returned to Clearwater Springs, she would never have agreed to come back for her high school reunion. If not for the cajoling of her childhood friend Sarah, who had fought cancer and won, she would be enjoying a beer and a pizza with her work colleagues in the city right now. Instead she was standing by a broken down car, in the pouring rain, on a dark deserted country road, looking into the smouldering eyes of her childhood sweetheart who had stopped to help a stranded motorist.

'The day couldn't get any worse.

'When Real Estate owner Todd Baker appears unannounced at Chloe Armstrong's front door offering to buy her home, she is unimpressed by his offer, his good looks or his expensive suit. Not to mention his killer smile.

'Chloe has spent years as a dancer at the Lido in Paris. Until a career ending fall sent her back home to be with her dying father. She is an independent woman, who has found a new purpose restoring her home. She has no time for a controlling man in her life.

'Reluctant to let this golden opportunity pass to own a prime piece of beachside property, Todd wears down Chloe's defences enough to allow a friendship to develop. He is surprised to find he is enjoying her company. He is falling for the ex-dancer, but is totally in denial. When Patrick, Todd's laid-back, charismatic and handsome younger brother appears, sparks fly between Patrick and Chloe.

'Can Todd persuade Chloe to see him as he really is underneath the expensive façade?

'Will Chloe learn to trust someone with her heart, when she has been so badly let down before?'
