Beauty and the Brain by Alicia Michaels (New Adult
Contemporary Romance)
Chloe Sanders would rather be anywhere than on vacation with
her parents. It’s not like they ever pay any attention to her, and being a
witness to their constant fighting and boozing isn’t exactly her idea of fun.
Still, when they drag her along on a trip to the Elysium Resort for a week,
Chloe is determined to have a good time—knock back some drinks, spend all her
spare time shopping or at the spa, and maybe even in the arms of a hot surfer.
She certainly doesn’t count on Chase, who’s roughing it in the rainforest with
a research group, studying wildlife. He’s an annoying know-it-all, and not shy
about letting Chloe know what he thinks of her bratty ways and expensive
lifestyle. The two couldn’t be more different, but in the swelter and mystery
of the island, opposites just might attract.
The Laws of Attraction by Carly Fall
(Contemporary Romance)
High-end criminal attorney, Jared
Greer, has spent his adult life working for his father’s legal firm and chasing
the next big client. The legal world is shades of gray, and he doesn’t think
about right and wrong when representing a client—he thinks of the paycheck. His
hard work has paid off, and he lives a lavish lifestyle filled with expensive
cars, a luxury apartment, and the best of everything.
He takes a private jet to Dasia Island
for a meeting about possible representation with a CEO of a toy company accused
of knowingly producing toys that killed 15 children. As Jared and his
assistant, Monica, work through the case documents and share some of what Dasia
has to offer, their passion on the magical island makes Jared consider the way
he lives his life, especially if he wants Monica in it.
The Art of Losing Inhibition by Casse
NaRome (Contemporary F/F Romance)
One man's trash is another woman's treasure.
Reeling from the loss of her husband to a carefree socialite, uptight Kennedy
retreats to Dasia island for a little bit of R and R. Will she learn to let
loose in the arms of Basil, the wild-child trust-fund baby with a silver
tongue?
His Island Paradise by
C.J. Baty (Contemporary M/M Romance)
Gar
Lancaster wasn't depressed, no matter what his sister said. He didn't need a
trip to a tropical island to meet some guy for a vacation romance. But when
Mike Peters kissed him on the balcony under a sea of stars with the pounding
waves hitting the shore below them, things changed.
Maybe,
he didn't need a happily ever after. Maybe happily for right now would be okay.
Whatever happened, Gar was pretty sure he was in way over his head.
Life After Death by Elise Marion (Contemporary Romance)
When his friends invite him for a guys-only vacation to the
exotic Dasia Island, the last thing Jameson Blake expects is to run into
Victoria, his ex-wife. The loss of their son in a tragic accident left their
marriage in tatters, and together they were never able to move past it. But in
the wilds of the rainforest, revelations will rock them both, forcing them to
confront their past. In the process, the realization that love has never died
between them will rise to the surface. With that knowledge, will Jameson and
Victoria be able to overcome the past and strive for a future together?
Layover
by Kacey Hammell (Contemporary Romance)
Hand's off.
That's Gemma Sands' cardinal rule when it comes to dating co-workers. Even
though she'd like to get her hands on Michael Harmon.
Michael has his own idea about where he'd like to put his hands. But Gemma's
steadfast rule means Michael simply admires from afar.
But fate has other ideas when an unexpected layover on Dasia Island pairs the
couple in less than ideal conditions. Forced to share tight quarters, and
unable to resist their passion, they finally surrender to every touch they need
so desperately.
Woman in the Mist by
Natalie G. Owens (Paranormal Time Travel Romance)
A free spirit and
sole heir of the 5-star Euthykhia Hotel, Garrick Kaili 'Kai' Langston
remains on Dasia Island out of loyalty to his family. But this sprawling,
recently renovated building, originally built in the thriving period between
the two major world wars, harbors some dark secrets. Unsolved mysteries that
continue to haunt at least one of its oldest residents...
A man shot to death,
his murderer never found...and a young woman disappearing into thin air on the
same night in 1965. A curse, or simple foul play? Some say Poppy Drummond's
fate was to be swallowed by deadly mists near the ruins of Dasia. Others claim
such notions are merely fruit of the meanderings of a crazy mind...
But Kai is just about
to find out—the truth is never what it seems...when the walls between fantasy
and reality come crumbling down.
Guide me Gently by Peggy Martinez
City of Sin by R.K. Ryals (New Adult Contemporary/Paranormal
Romance)
On the Island of Dasia, there’s a
legend about a city of sin, a tragic story that ended in a mist of death. Haven
Ambrose is a Journalism major on a mission. River Brayden is a meteorologist
with a tropical system to follow. Their love is strong, but is it strong enough
to survive a storm that leaves them stranded them with an ancient evil?
