      From New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Catherine Bybee comes the sixth novel in the warm and witty Not Quite series. No one drives in New York City. Everyone knows that, including California transplant Rachel Price. But that doesn't stop her from driving into the city. From Connecticut. Every single morning. Rain or shine...or snow. When she runs the charismatic and good-looking Jason Fairchild off the road, their immediate spark is met with bad timing. There is also one tiny little detail: Jason is her boss. And a woman as intelligent and dedicated to her career as Rachel knows not to date her boss. As CEO of a private jet company, Jason Fairchild is more used to flying than driving. But if he hadn't chosen to drive home one night, he wouldn't have met the slowest--and most irresistible--driver in the entire metro area. Jason has never had time for love. Or dating. Or really anything that doesn't involve work. But when he finds out that Rachel is the newest superstar in his marketing department, he can't help wondering if fate has other plans...

Protector-for-hire Sasha Budanov is accustomed to life as a loner. Always on the move, she's now reached a crossroad. Looking for answers about her shadowy youth, she's returned to the strict boarding school in Germany where she was raised. It's also where she was trained in the stealthy, militarized art of survival. But behind its gleaming gates, Richter is a fortress of secrets, including those buried in Sasha's mysterious past. To uncover them, she's clinging to her first rule of defense: stay guarded. If anyone can challenge Sasha's rules, it's devilishly sexy stranger AJ Hofmann. He wants answers, too. And he needs Sasha's help. The recent deaths of several of Richter's former students--including AJ's own sister--have aroused his suspicions. He's arousing something more in Sasha. Never one to surrender to her emotions, she senses something tempting in AJ. She trusts him. He's fearless. And he kisses like a demon. Sasha's found her match. But treading Richter's dark halls--and following their hearts--has its risks. As the decades-old secrets of the past are mined, Sasha and AJ are falling deeper in love...and into danger.

      In this Wall Street Journal bestseller, another of the First Wives finds that love and secrets are a dangerous combination. Trina Petrov's marriage-by-contract was only meant to be temporary. But when tragedy strikes, Trina is left one of the wealthiest women in the world. To recover from the shock, she takes some time off in Italy, swearing not to fall for any men while there. But that doesn't mean she can't fall for anyone on the trip home... Country-music superstar Wade Thomas is lying low in a hotel bar when he gets the cold shoulder from the woman next to him. He's used to fans fawning at his boots, and Trina is a refreshing change--so is the fact that she has no idea who he is. As things begin to heat up, Trina discovers that the circumstances of her late husband's death are not what they seemed. Now she's in trouble, and Wade isn't about to let her out of his sight. Getting close to love and danger could get them killed...or it could sweep them both off their feet.
