Claimed by the Millionaire Treasure Hunter by Monique DeVere
COPYRIGHT © Monique Simpson 2010 All Rights Reserved
Blurb:
Some things just can’t be analysed!
Successful psychologist, Dr. Mia Murphy is suffering from nervous exhaustion and she needs a time-out fast. When a former patient offers her the use of his private island—yacht included—Mia graciously accepts and beats a hasty exit.
She’s looking forward to a whole month of swaying palm trees, sun, gentle breaking surf, and perfect peace. She doesn’t expect to share the island with anyone. Least of all a trespassing treasure hunter named Tyler DeWolfe, who has the capacity to unleash an insidious hunger within her she can’t begin to analyse.
Underwater Archaeologist, Tyler DeWolfe is on the hunt for a missing family heirloom. He wants to find the yacht that sank near a private island in the Atlantic Ocean with his parents and the artefact onboard. Unfortunately, he hasn’t bargained on stumbling upon the island owner’s latest plaything. She’s smart-mouthed and opinionated. Worse of all, she’s a headshrinker who keeps trying to give him therapy.
Ty can think of only one way to shut her up—seduce her!

Let's Pretend by Monique DeVere

Blurb:
True love needs no pretence
When A&E trauma surgeon, Isobel, married sexy Irish firefighter, Lucas Delaney, she knew it was going to be forever. Unfortunately, she didn’t realize forever would only last five short years.
Keeping her failed marriage from her family seems like a piece of cake, until her grandmother calls a family gathering and Belle suspects she’s about to break unpleasant news. Making excuses for Luc’s absence, she flies home to Connecticut.
Then delicious Lucas arrives for the three-day get-together and Belle knows things are going to get dicey. Especially since he still has the power to make her heart miss a beat, and her stomach bottom out.
When Belle asks him to pretend they’re still deeply in love, Luc doesn’t have a problem. He sees an opportunity to reclaim the love of his life. And he goes all out to remind Belle how it used to be between them, before long work hours and clashing schedules invaded their marriage.
What he needs to know though, is, once the pretence is over, will Belle be signing divorce papers? Or will they be renewing wedding vows? |

More Than a Playboy by Monique DeVere
COPYRIGHT © Monique Simpson 2010 All Rights Reserved
Blurb:
She has a shield...he has one too...and they’re both hiding secrets behind them.
Serious-minded Alexandra (Sandy) Donovan has one unbreakable rule—never fall for a rich playboy. She’s seen the pain it caused her mother, how it ruined her childhood, and she’s determined never to let the same thing happen to her.
Unfortunately, the only man to make her hormones sit up and take notice is a rich playboy who doesn’t know the first thing about taking life seriously.
A lonely miserable childhood has taught Cameron Berkeley-Scott to hide his feelings in humour, but his comic nature seems to be pushing away the one woman he wants to draw near. She thinks he’s a playboy—a title he has no desire to have—and she ignores his outrageous flirting.
Now it’s time for Cameron to show Sandy he isn’t all about seeking life’s pleasures without commitment or responsibilities, but will it push her further away when she finds out who he really is?

Something's Cooking by Monique DeVere

BLURB:
Recipe for a guilty secret: two hundred pounds of sexy action hero; a splash of wine and an ounce of rebellion. Whisk, and turn up the heat.
If the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach, and the way to a woman’s heart is through her children, what happens when an award-winning chef meets her children’s hero?
With one failed marriage behind her, the last thing Gabrielle (Gabi) Boston-Headly wants is to get involved with another man. Years of looking the other way when her womanizing husband turned his attention elsewhere has destroyed her belief in love. She is convinced all men are incapable of fidelity – most especially, a Hollywood action hero surrounded by thousands of adoring female fans!
So when sexy former-actor-turned-Executive-Producer, Ryan Jaymes, saunters into her life and, reminds her of their secret night together, she is more than happy to send him packing. The problem is her ten-year-old son has his own recipe - for a perfect family.

When Zach Canady returns to England, he doesn’t expect his new home to be next door to his once-upon-a-time best friend. Nor does he expect to be knocked sideways by the stunner she’s become. Goodbye quiet geek –- hello hot TV property developer.
Maddie de la Botella is shocked to discover the man spying on her while she’s in her hot tub is the only man who never noticed she was a living, breathing woman. As her best friend ten years ago, Zach had made sure she understood men wanted exciting women. And there was nothing exciting about her.
Now she’s a celebrity and every guy she knows wants to date her. Even Zach can’t deny the fierce attraction between them. So why is he so determined to keep her strictly as his friend?
