Worst. Summer. Ever.
My best friend moved away at the end of the school year. Now my family has moved into a house that looks a thousand years old and could pass for the Addams Family's summer home. I'm pretty sure it's haunted, and I'm about to be the star of my own paranormal reality show whether I like it or not. But the worst part is that Walker Dean lives next door.
Walker Dean is heartbreak just looking for a victim. The boy tears through girls' hearts like a tornado through a trailer park. Sure, he's one of the hottest guys in school, but he's also a player who lives for hookups and doesn't know the meaning of the word relationship. A girl would have to be crazy to even think about getting mixed up with him.

When it comes to luck, I'm on the wrong end of the good side with more mishaps than I care to remember. Don't get me wrong, I'm a happy guy: single, decent looking, wealthy, with a waiting list of people who want me to make their kid's dreams come true with my custom-designed playhouses. My life was exactly how I wanted it to be. That is, until Saryn Night walked back into my life with the intention of firing me. Good luck with that. One strong-headed, opinionated woman with a three-year-old little girl had turned my world upside down within five minutes. The moment they stormed into my office — bright blue eyes, curly brown hair, and a smile that would make any man fall to his knees, and that was just the daughter — I knew I was in for one wild ride that was guaranteed to turn my luck completely around. Now, for once in my life, I found myself thinking that maybe, just maybe, I could finally be Lucky in Love. Views: 230

From New York Times Bestseller, Pepper Winters, comes the fourth book in the USA Today Bestselling Dark Romance, Goddess Isles. "There was a truth once. Truth we shared in the dark and scribed scars upon our hearts.There was a lie once. A lie that shattered our hard-earned truth apart." Eleanor Grace did the unbelievable. She fell for a man who trades in women, dabbles in myth, and has the morals of a cold-hearted beast. However, love isn't enough where past sins are concerned, and only pain can follow. Sully Sinclair did the impossible. He gave his trust to a goddess who has the ultimate power to break him. Unfortunately, paradise is just an illusion, his islands aren't impenetrable, and now he has to pay the price. A fledgling connection.A war they can't stop.A future that doesn't bow to fate.
