    Summary:

    Ayesha Shamsi has a lot going on. Her dreams of being a poet have been set aside for a teaching job so she can pay off her debts to her wealthy uncle. She lives with her boisterous Muslim family and is always being reminded that her flighty younger cousin, Hafsa, is close to rejecting her one hundredth marriage proposal. Though Ayesha is lonely, she doesn't want an arranged marriage. Then she meets Khalid who is just as smart and handsome as he is conservative and judgmental. She is irritatingly attracted to someone who looks down on her choices and dresses like he belongs in the seventh century. When a surprise engagement between Khalid and Hafsa is announced, Ayesha is torn between how she feels about the straightforward Khalid and his family; and the truth she realizes about herself. But Khalid is also wrestling with what he believes and what he wants. And he just can't get this beautiful, outspoken woman out of his mind.

    Beast Charming tells the story of Beauty, who works as a temp at an agency run by a high-tempered dragon. To avoid running into her conniving and desperately-craving-for-nobility father-conveniently named Noble-she takes on a peculiar job that will force her to converse with a violent beast named, well, Beast. The rest of the story develops into a hysterical tale of a classic fairy tale romance gone modernly awry.

    After years of heading an elite Special Forces unit, nothing ever gets past Carter Macmillan…until the night slick-talking reporter, Ally Weaver, gives him the slip. Ally Weaver is used to following the story, but she’s never had a lead blow up on her before…literally. Now one of her confidential sources has been murdered, and she’s determined to find out why. But Ally can’t risk drawing anyone else into this violent mess…no matter how skilled--or gorgeous--he may be. But a girl can’t always get what she wants. And when the pair find themselves thrust into the crosshairs of a corrupt politician who would do anything to stay in power, they must work together to expose a deadly conspiracy before they become the next victims. But while both Ally and Carter are willing to put their lives on the line to discover the truth, neither is prepared for the danger the other poses to their heart.

    Summary:

    By 24, Carter Stevenson has stuttered and ticced his way to debilitating shyness. Although his friends accuse him of letting his Tourette's dictate his life, Carter moves from Los Angeles to a quiet California town. He'll keep his head down and avoid people. He doesn't anticipate his new neighbor, Ethan Hart, crashing into his solitude and forcing him to get out and live. From the beginning, Ethan makes his love for Carter clear. But he fears Carter won't see past Ethan's damaged brain, even though it makes Ethan more attuned to his emotions than most people. For Carter, there's a bigger issue: he's been burned by so-called "perfect" matches, and he won't risk his heart again. One way or another, Ethan's determined to show Carter they belong together. Then Ethan receives tragic news. Suddenly he must turn to Carter for strength and support. Will Carter come through when Ethan needs him most?

    Summary:

    Da ventiquattro anni Carter Stevenson convive con i tic e la balbuzie che lo hanno portato a sviluppare una timidezza cronica. Nonostante gli amici lo accusino di lasciare che la Sindrome di Tourette, dalla quale è affetto, governi la sua vita, Carter decide di lasciare la caotica Los Angeles per trasferirsi in una tranquilla cittadina californiana. Il suo proposito di passare inosservato e nascondersi, però, si scontra con l’esuberanza del nuovo vicino di casa, che irrompe nella sua vita solitaria e lo costringe a uscire e vivere. Ethan mette in chiaro sin dall’inizio quello che prova per Carter, ma teme che il giovane non riesca a vedere oltre la sua lesione cerebrale, anche se è proprio questa a renderlo molto più in sintonia con le sue emozioni di quanto lo sia la maggior parte della gente. Per Carter invece il problema è un altro: troppe volte ormai è rimasto scottato da quelle che credeva anime gemelle, e non ha intenzione di mettere di nuovo a rischio il proprio cuore. In un modo o nell’altro, Ethan è comunque deciso a dimostrargli che sono fatti per stare insieme. Fino a quando una cosa spaventosa non gli sconvolge la vita, costringendolo a cercare in Carter forza e sostegno. Riuscirà Carter a superare le proprie paure e ad aiutarlo quando più avrà bisogno di lui?
