Kinley MacGregor Knihy

Caledonia MacNeely, skotská kráska královské krve, je odhodlána stůj co stůj uprchnout ze zajetí anglického krále Jindřicha II. a vrátit se do milovaného Skotska. Na útěku ji však zastaví králův černý rytíř a ona v tu chvíli ví jen jediné – ten záhadný muž s pochmurnou pověstí ji neodolatelně přitahuje. Se Sinem se život právě nemazlil – pokud chtěl přežít, musel se řídit chladnokrevným rozumem nelítostného zabijáka. To poslední, co by teď mohl potřebovat, je manželství se skotskou dědičkou, s níž se má oženit na naléhavou žádost krále Jindřicha. Pro panovníka je odbojná Skotka pouhou figurkou na šachovnici a její sňatek se Sinem má napomoci k tomu, aby byli potlačeni skotští rebelové. Ani Callie nijak netouží po sňatku s domnělým Angličanem, ale nemá na vybranou. Pro své milované Skotsko by podstoupila jakoukoli oběť, a tak se nakonec králově vůli přece jen podvoluje. V té době ještě netuší, jaké pocity v ní všemi obávaný muž roznítí. Dokáže láska překlenout propast mezi dvěma nepřátelskými stranami? A může Sin důvěřovat citům, jež nikdy předtím nepoznal a s nimiž si neví rady?

Půvabná Emily si spřádá sny o lásce a rodinném štěstí. Její otec, bohatý anglický šlechtic Hugh se ale zapřisáhl, že jeho dcera nevstoupí do manželství.

Draven de Montague skutečně přijel pro Emily, ale s romantikou to nemá nic společného.

Možná vypadá jako upír, ale jeho cílem je chránit lidi, ne pít jejich krev. Za dva tisíce let nenašel Kyrián Thrácký nikoho, kdo by v něm vzbudil touhu získat zpět svou duši a stát se znovu člověkem - dokud nepotkal Amandu. A když se ti dva štvou ulicemi New Orleansu, aby polapili smrtelně nebezpečného nepřítele, bojují také za to, aby dokázali uvěřit v pravou lásku a společnou budoucnost.

Půvabná lady Rowena má ráda vše krásné, co život nabízí, a se stejnou vehemencí se vyhýbá všemu, co se jí protiví. Není tudíž divu, že hodlá zmařit plány svých pletichářských příbuzných, kteří ji hodlají provdat proti její vůli. Myšlenka na sňatek s proslulým válečníkem je pro mírumilovnou Rowenu zkrátka nepřijatelná. Její odhodlání se začne bortit v okamžiku, kdy poprvé pohlédne do Stryderových očí. Spatří v nich to, co rytíři zocelení válkou obvykle v očích nemívají: touhu milovat a být milován. Vyhovět jeho touze by ovšem pro Rowenu znamenalo popřít vše, pro co až doposud žila, a tak se ze všech sil snaží Stryderovi odolat. I Stryder je svými city překvapen. Prošel beze šrámu rozličnými bojišti, vydobyl si pověst udatného vojáka, a rozhodně nemá v úmyslu podlehnout lásce a vést poklidný život. Teprve nebezpečná zrada přiměje Rowenu a Strydera zapomenout na dávná předsevzetí, a pro záchranu holého života dát všanc nejen čest, ale i svá srdce...

Sunshine už dávno po nikom tak netoužila. Na tom muži bylo něco zvláštního – od první chvíle, kdy se potkali, si byli kromobyčejně blízcí... Když vychází najevo, že ten tajemný smyslný cizinec je její manžel z minulého života, na chvíli uvěří, že by ji snad mohl milovat. Ale je to pravda, anebo v něm jen probudila city k jiné – dávno mrtvé – ženě? A může si jím být vlastně někdy vůbec jistá? Dokud nepochopí, že je jedno, zda se probouzí vedle Drápa, nebo Speirra a zda v ní on vidí Sunshine, či Nyniu, dokud neuvěří, že jsou spřízněné duše napříč všemi věky, dávnou kletbu se jim prolomit nepodaří. A i kdyby to dokázali, sešlou tím na sebe jen hněv starověkých bohů... Třetí kniha Sherrilyn Kenyonové ze světa nočních lovců.

Královna Adara se ocitla v zoufalé situaci. Své zemi vládne sice dobře, ale přesto k ní ze všech stran doléhají hlasy, že žena by neměla panovat bez muže. Adara pochopí, že nemá-li se koruny zmocnit sousední regent, musí bez prodlení vyhledat svého manžela. Celá věc má ovšem háček: Adara jej spatřila naposledy v dětství, kdy za něj byla provdána z dynastických důvodů. Hrdý a životem ošlehaný Christian z Akru nikdy nepoznal, co je to skutečný domov. Po smrti rodičů pobýval v saracénském zajetí a nyní skrývá svou totožnost pod mnišskou kutnou. Jeho těžce nabytý vnitřní klid však rozmetala záhadná dáma, která se jednoho dne zjevila a oznámila mu, že jsou manželé. A jako by toho ještě nebylo dost, vyžaduje po něm, aby s ní odjel, a co víc – aby jí pomohl přivést na svět následníka královského trůnu! Christian si sice nadevše cení své svobody, ale rytířská čest mu nedovolí nechat Adaru napospas nepřátelům. Pevně rozhodnut nepodlehnout tělesným svodům slíbí zoufalé královně pomoc. Bude ovšem jeho vůle dostatečně silná, aby si dokázal odpírat něco, co mu právem patří, a zůstat lhostejný k ženě, jež je pevně odhodlána dobýt jeho srdce?

Nora je vskutku ženou, která umí vzít život do vlastních rukou. Než aby vstoupila do manželství s vypočítavým mužem, kterému jde především o její obrovské věno, rozhodne se raději uprchnout do Anglie a najít útočiště u své mocné tety. Na tak nebezpečnou cestu se ovšem nemůže vypravit sama, a proto na radu komorné vyhledá Ewana MacAllistera a požádá jej, aby se stal jejím průvodcem. Hrdý skotský horal, pronásledovaný vlastní pochmurnou minulostí, již od života nic nečeká a není mu ani trochu vhod, když do jeho samoty vtrhne neznámá kráska – tím spíš, že se až příliš podobá té, která ho kdysi připravila o rozum. Mužská čest mu ovšem přikazuje, že prosba urozené a půvabné dámy se neodmítá... Podaří se Noře prolomit neprostupnou hráz, kterou si kolem sebe Ewan vybudoval? Nalezne pod drsnou skořápkou muže, který umí projevit něžný cit? A jakou cenu musí zaplatit ten, kdo si chce dělat nároky na cizí nevěstu?

Julian Makedonský byl neohrožený spartský generál, jenž v boji nikdy nepoznal porážku. Z nejvyššího vrcholu slávy však padl až na dno lidského utrpení a stal se otrokem lásky. Statný muž, který vždy přitahoval pohledy opačného pohlaví, si totiž už nevybírá - ženy si vybírají jeho a on jim přináší rozkoš a uspokojení, Odevzdaně plní své povinnosti milence a už nedoufá, že by mohl kletbu, jež na něj byla uvržena, nějak prolomit. Jiskřička naděje mu svitne v podobě lásky, v kterou už nedoufal a kterou vlastně ani nikdy nepoznal. Grace Alexanderová v něm totiž nevidí jen pouhého otroka... Dokáže velká láska zlomit staletou kletbu? Jedno ze základních děl žánru paranormální romance poprvé v českém překladu.

O slavném skotském bojovníkovi Brandonu MacAllisterovi se říká, že umí skolit nepřítele jedinou ranou a svést ženu jediným polibkem. Jeho mužnému kouzlu dokáže odolat jen jediná, Maggie. Půvabná rusovláska se totiž rozhodla ukončit nesmyslnou válku mezi dvěma klany typicky ženským způsobem: dokud muži nepřestanou bojovat, ženy jim nebudou vařit, prát... ani uspokojovat jejich tělesné touhy. Brandon je odhodlán uplatnit veškeré své svůdnické umění, jen aby Maggii zradil od jejího záměru. Dovolí jí poznat objetí svých silných paží, nechá ji ochutnat sladkost svých polibků, ale všechno marně, Maggie se stále drží svého předsevzetí. Ačkoli o Brandonovi odjakživa snila a už pouhá jeho přítomnost ji rozechvívá, je rozhodnuta dosáhnout svého cíle a ukončit krveprolití. Kromě toho ví, že Brandon sice dobyl mnoho ženských srdcí, ale to své žádné nedal. V koutku duše ovšem Maggie spřádá smělé plány: mohlo by se jí podařit uzavřít mír a poté svést nejobletovanějšího muže v celém Skotsku?

Kdyby se jí tak podařilo napsat článek o hrůzyplném Mořském vlkovi, jistě by si vydobyla uznání, po němž tolik touží! Skutečnost je však úplně jiná než její krásné představy.

Lochlan MacAllister vyrůstal s vědomím, že musí pro dobro svého lidu obětovat vlastní štěstí. Když se k němu ale donese zvěst, že jeho ztracený a oplakaný bratr je možná stále naživu, Lochlan neváhá a vydává se ho hledat do Francie. Catarina je sice nemanželskou dcerou francouzského krále, ale při své svobodomyslnosti zcela odmítá, že by se měla podřídit mocenským praktikám mocného otce.

Dobře ví, že se proti němu obrátí králův hněv a že šlechetný čin může zhatit jeho plány na bratrovu záchranu. Jak daleko bude ochoten zajít kvůli ženě, s níž ho od samého počátku pojila pouze nevraživost?

Její plán však nevyjde a novopečená snoubenka se ocitá v pirátově zajetí na jeho lodi, kde má sloužit jako návnada na svého budoucího tchána. Brzy pozná, že Černý Jack je vskutku nebezpečný, a to nejenom pro ctihodné občany, ale i pro nevinnou dívku. Jeho spalující pohled a neodolatelné charisma dávají tušit, že svou přezdívku Mistr svádění nedostal jen tak. Dokáže Lorelei tváří v tvář jeho kouzlu zachovat věrnost Justinovi? A dokáže si proslulý svůdce připustit, že žena může vnést do jeho života víc než jen pár okamžiků smyslné rozkoše?

For countless centuries, I've been the assassin for the infamous Merlin, even though the woman who birthed me sits at the right hand of our enemy, Morgen le Fey. Now both my mother and Morgen have decided that it's time I take my place on their side of this conflict.Normally, telling them no wouldn't be a problem, except for the fact that the good guys I protect think that I'm an even worse demon than the ones we fight.

And two people who know nothing of trust must learn to rely on each other or die: provided we don't kill each other first.
