К. А. Такер — библиография

She would know the world of vengeful gods and monsters, and the lengths one would go for love. And nothing would ever be the same for her again. Gifted thief Romeria has flourished from her days as a street kid pilfering wallets to survive. Now she thrives, stealing jewels from the rich under the involuntary employ of New York City’s most notorious crime boss. But when an enigmatic woman secures her services at swordpoint, Romeria is plunged into a startling realm of opposing thrones, warring elven, and elemental magic she cannot begin to fathom. Her quest is straightforward: Steal a stone from Islor’s sacred garden without anyone discovering her true identity, which would earn her certain death. But the identity she has inexplicably assumed is that of the captured Ybarisan princess—an enemy to Islor after she poisoned their beloved king and queen on the day she was to marry the prince. Her betrothed, the newly crowned King Zander, detests her with every grain of his handsome being. Fortunately for Romeria, she is more valuable to him alive than dead. Zander gives her a choice: life in a cell, or an acquittal of all charges in exchange for her help in exposing the growing plot against him. Romeria sees no other option and embraces the tricky role of smitten queen-to-be until she can escape, a ruse that brings her far closer to the king than she anticipated and threatens more than her safety. As she digs deeper into this sacred garden and the ancient feud between Ybaris and Islor, she discovers monstrous truths that could spell ruin for all.

Когда на пороге появляется прекрасная молодая танцовщица, владельцу стрип-клуба нужно решить, следовать ли собственным правилам или прислушаться к своему сердцу.
Владение стрип-клубом – это не сказка, как ожидает большинство мужчин. С продолжительными сменами, персоналом, у которого проблем достаточно, чтобы обеспечить работой психиатра, и постоянно наблюдающей за ним полицией, двадцатидевятилетний Кейн начинает ставить под вопрос свою негласную миссию по спасению женщин, которые на него работают. А когда на пороге появляется блондинистая и кареглазая Чарли Рурк, все еще больше усложняется. Кейн верен строгому правилу «не спать с персоналом». Но нахождение рядом с Чарли бросает вызов самоконтролю Кейна…а прошло уже много времени с тех пор, как хотя бы одной женщине это удавалось.
Двадцатидвухлетней Чарли Рурк нужно очень быстро заработать большую сумму денег, чтобы испариться прежде, чем станет слишком поздно. От раздевания перед мужчинами у нее внутри все сжимается, но Чарли убеждает себя, что, по крайней мере, это хорошее применение ее актерским и танцевальным навыкам. И хотя кажется, что ее напарницы сильно желают поймать в свои сети своего сексуального, искушенного и искренне заботящегося босса, Чарли в этом не заинтересована. В конце-то концов, на самом деле Чарли Рурк не существует…а девушка, притворяющаяся ею, не может позволить себе отвлекаться на роман.
К сожалению, вскоре Чарли понимает, что появление чувств к Кейну, которые могут и не быть взаимными, неизбежно…но потеря его, когда он узнает, во что она впуталась, будет более болезненной, чем любое другое ожидающее ее наказание.

Ivy Lee, a talented tattoo artist who spent the early part of her twenties on the move, is looking for a place to call home. She thinks she might have finally found it working in her uncle’s tattoo shop in San Francisco. But all that changes when a robbery turns deadly, compelling her to pack up her things yet again. When they need the best, they call him. That’s why Sebastian Riker is back in California, cleaning up the mess made after a tattoo shop owner who resorted to blackmail and got himself shot. But it’s impossible to get the answers he needs from a dead body, leaving him to look elsewhere. Namely, to the twenty-something-year-old niece who believes this was a random attack. Who needs to keep believing that until Sebastian finds what he’s searching for. Ivy has one foot out of San Francisco when a chance encounter with a stranger stalls her departure. She’s always been drawn to intense men, so it’s no wonder that she now finds a reason to stay after all, quickly intoxicated by his dark smile, his intimidating strength, and his quiet control. That is, until Ivy discovers that their encounter was no accident—and that their attraction could be her undoing.

Armed with two years' worth of savings and the need to experience life outside the bubble of her Oregon small town, twenty-five-year old Amber Welles is prepared for anything. Except dying in Dublin. Had it not been for the bravery of a stranger, she might have. But he takes off before she has the chance to offer her gratitude. Twenty-four-year-old River Delaney is rattled. No one was supposed to get hurt. But then that American tourist showed up. He couldn't let her die, but he also couldn't risk being identified at the scene—so, he ran. Back to his everyday life of running his family’s pub. Only, everyday life is getting more and more complicated, thanks to his brother, Aengus, and his criminal associations. When the American girl tracks River down, he quickly realizes how much he likes her, how wrong she is for him. And how dangerous it is to have her around. Chasing her off would be the smart move. Maybe it's because he saved her life, or maybe it's because he's completely different from everything she's left behind, but Amber finds herself chasing after River Delaney. Amber isn’t the kind of girl to chase after anyone. And River isn't the kind of guy she'd want to catch.

Luke Boone doesn't know exactly what his uncle Rust is involved in but he wants in on it-the cars, the money, the women. And it looks like he's finally getting his wish. When Rust hands him the managerial keys to the garage, they come with a second set—one that opens up the door to tons of cash and opportunity. Though it's not exactly legal, Luke's never been one to worry about that sort of thing. Especially when it puts him behind the wheel of a Porsche 911 and onto the radar of gorgeous socialite named Rain. Clara Bertelli is at the top of her game—at only twenty-six years old, she's one of the most successful undercover officers in the Washington D.C. major crime unit, and she's just been handed a case that could catapult her career and expose one of the west coast's most notorious car theft rings. But, in order to do it, she'll need to go deep undercover as Rain Martines. Her target? The twenty-four-year old nephew of a key player who appears ready to follow in his uncle's footsteps. As Clara drifts deeper into the luxurious lifestyle of Rain, and further into the arms of her very attractive and charming target, the lines between right and wrong start to blur, making her wonder if she'll be able to leave it all behind. Or if she'll even want to.

Left for dead in the fields of rural Oregon, a young woman defies all odds and survives—but she awakens with no idea who she is, or what happened to her. Refusing to answer to “Jane Doe” for another day, the woman renames herself “Water” for the tiny, hidden marking on her body—the only clue to her past. Taken in by old Ginny Fitzgerald, a crotchety but kind lady living on a nearby horse farm, Water slowly begins building a new life. But as she attempts to piece together the fleeting slivers of her memory, more questions emerge: Who is the next-door neighbor, quietly toiling under the hood of his Barracuda? Why won’t Ginny let him step foot on her property? And why does Water feel she recognizes him? Twenty-four-year-old Jesse Welles doesn’t know how long it will be before Water gets her memory back. For her sake, Jesse hopes the answer is never. He knows that she’ll stay so much safer—and happier—that way. And that’s why, as hard as it is, he needs to keep his distance. Because getting too close could flood her with realities better left buried. The trouble is, water always seems to find its way to the surface. The top-selling, beloved indie author of Ten Tiny Breaths returns with a new romance about a young woman who loses her memory—and the man who knows that the only way to protect her is to stay away.

Калле Флетчер была совсем маленькой, когда мать увезла ее с Аляски в цивилизованный мир Торонто. Изоляция и экстремальные температуры оказались невыносимы для жены пилота, привыкшей ко всем удобствам большого города. Теперь Калле двадцать шесть, и оставшийся на Аляске отец долгое время был для нее прошлым, о котором она боялась вспоминать. Но теперь настала пора проделать непростой путь к пограничному городку, где она когда-то родилась. Плохие погодные условия, комары, короткий световой день, заоблачные цены – вот с чем Калле приходится мириться ради того, чтобы стать ближе к отцу. Компанию ей составляет Джона – тихий и гордый пилот, который сразу не принимает чужестранку, слишком нежную для жизни в экстремальных условиях. В отличие от Каллы, Джона не может представить себя в любом другом месте на планете и ни за что не променяет снежные горы ни на что другое. Он ждет не дождется, когда капризная девчонка наконец оставит его в покое и отправится туда, где ей самое место. Возможно, Джона и прав, но Калле не терпится уложить его на лопатки. Проходит время, и она понимает, что привязалась к ворчливому пилоту. Теперь их связывает что-то вроде дружбы или даже нечто большее, в чем они оба не могут себе признаться. В конце концов, Калла же вернется в Торонто, а Джона останется на Аляске. Было бы глупо влюбиться в человека, с которым ты никогда не сможешь быть вместе. Ведь так?

Veterinarian Marie Lehr knows unrequited love all too well after pining for her best friend, only to watch him marry another woman. It’s a mistake she will never make again, especially not when she can practically hear the clock ticking on her childbearing years. The trouble is, she can’t seem to find anyone who appeals to her even a fraction as much as that burly bush pilot did. Competitive musher Tyler Brady certainly doesn’t, especially not after the heated altercation with the handsome but arrogant, spiteful man. Or so she thinks. While volunteering at the Iditarod Sled Dog Race, Marie discovers that first impressions may have been false, and her attraction to Tyler is very real. But his heart belongs to someone else, leaving him with nothing to offer but friendship. Marie’s been down this road before and knows how that ends. Yet, no matter how hard she works to keep from falling for Tyler, it seems she’s doomed to follow her own trail once again. From the internationally bestselling author of The Simple Wild comes the story of a woman at a crossroads in her life, struggling between the safe route and the one that will only lead to more heartbreak.

The holiday season is upon Calla and Jonah, and with the mistletoe and gingerbread comes plenty of family drama. Jonah is bracing himself for two weeks with a stepfather he loathes, and while Calla is looking forward to her mother and Simon’s arrival, she dreads the continued pressure to set a date for their wedding … in Toronto. Add in one bullheaded neighbor’s unintentional meddling and another cantankerous neighbor’s own family strife, and Christmas in Trapper’s Crossing will be anything but simple.

Calla Fletcher returns to Toronto a different person, struggling to find direction and still very much in love with the rugged bush pilot she left behind. When Jonah arrives on her doorstep with a proposition she can’t dismiss, she takes the leap and rushes back to Alaska to begin their exciting future together. But Calla soon learns that even the best intentions can lead to broken promises, and that compromise comes with a hefty price—a log cabin in interior rural Alaska that feels as isolating as the western tundra. With Jonah gone more than he’s home, one neighbor who insists on transforming her into a true Alaskan, and another who seems more likely to shoot her than come to her aid, Calla grapples with forging her own path. In a world with roaming wildlife that has her constantly watching over her shoulder and harsh conditions that stretch far beyond the cold, dark, winter months, just stepping outside her front door can be daunting. This is not the future Calla had in mind, leaving her to fear that perhaps she is doomed to follow in her mother’s fleeing footsteps after all.

City girl Calla Fletcher attempts to reconnect with her estranged father, and unwittingly finds herself torn between her desire to return to the bustle of Toronto and a budding relationship with a rugged Alaskan pilot in this masterful new romance from acclaimed author K.A. Tucker. Calla Fletcher was two when her mother took her and fled the Alaskan wild, unable to handle the isolation of the extreme, rural lifestyle, leaving behind Calla’s father, Wren Fletcher, in the process. Calla never looked back, and at twenty-six, a busy life in Toronto is all she knows. But when her father reaches out to inform her that his days are numbered, Calla knows that it’s time to make the long trip back to the remote frontier town where she was born. She braves the roaming wildlife, the odd daylight hours, the exorbitant prices, and even the occasional—dear God—outhouse, all for the chance to connect with her father: a man who, despite his many faults, she can’t help but care for. While she struggles to adjust to this new subarctic environment, Jonah—the quiet, brooding, and proud Alaskan pilot who keeps her father’s charter plane company operational—can’t imagine calling anywhere else home. And he’s clearly waiting with one hand on the throttle to fly this city girl back to where she belongs, convinced that she’s too pampered to handle the wild. Jonah is probably right, but Calla is determined to prove him wrong. As time passes, she unexpectedly finds herself forming a bond with the burly pilot. As his undercurrent of disapproval dwindles, it’s replaced by friendship—or perhaps something deeper? But Calla is not in Alaska to stay and Jonah will never leave. It would be foolish of her to kindle a romance, to take the same path her parents tried—and failed at—years ago. It’s a simple truth that turns out to be not so simple after all.

On the one hand, she’s a twenty-nine-year-old VP at her dad’s multibillion-dollar real estate development firm, and living the high single life with her two best friends in a swanky downtown penthouse.

Иногда ты не можешь измениться…а иногда просто не хочешь. Узнайте историю Бена в четвертой книге любимого и востребованного инди-автора «Десяти крошечных вздохов», «Одной крошечной лжи» и «Четырех секунд, чтобы потерять».
Фиолетововолосая и острая на язык Риз МакКей не понаслышке знает, что такое делать неправильный выбор. В свои двадцать с небольшим она набила много шишек. Так что, когда ее импульсивный и недолговременный брак заканчивается разрывом, она решает, что пришло время перемен. С намерением начать сначала свою безответственную жизнь Риз переезжает в Майами и справляется вполне неплохо…если не считать одну эпически унизительную ночь, проведенную в Канкуне с сексуальным блондинистым вышибалой по имени Бен. Слава Богу, что она может просто сесть на самолет и оставить ЭТУ ошибку позади.
Футбольная стипендия и братские вечеринки с сексуальными цыпочками? Часть плана красавчика Бена Морриса. Поврежденное колено, которое убило все его надежды на профессиональную футбольную карьеру? Совсем не часть плана. К счастью, в комплекте с природной притягательностью и сногсшибательной внешностью у Бена идут и мозги. После трех долгих лет совмещения учебы на юридическом и работы вышибалой в «Дворце Пенни» он готов вести более зрелую жизнь... пока в свой первый рабочий день Бен не оказывается в кабинете той ненормальной, сексуальной девушки, которую встретил в Канкуне. Той, которой заняты все его мысли. Если бы Бен и вправду был смышленым парнем, он бы держался подальше от Риз. Она – падчерица босса, а ему ясно дали понять, что служебный роман – основание для увольнения. К тому же, ходят слухи, что Риз – ходячая катастрофа. Да только проблема в том, что Бену нравятся катастрофы, особенно, когда они такие симпатичные…
