The Love in LA Quartet The City of Angels just got a whole lot hotter. What started with Creslyn Knight in an explosively delicious reverse harem love story turns into a quest for the remaining three men in The Brotherhood to find their own happily ever after. But in a city full of fragile dreams, is the price too high to pay when love is on the line? Because in LA, beneath every dream lies a secret. Book 1 - The Stars in Her Eyes Book 2 - The Fire in His Touch Book 3 - The Lies in His Head Book 4 - The Song in His Heart The Stars in Her Eyes One woman. Three men. Some things are best kept secret. When Creslyn Knight auditions for the role of a lifetime, she never expects three things: To know the casting director—intimately. To be insanely attracted to the three stand-in actors at the audition. That she’d soon be putting her morals to the test when her resolve weakens. Acting is in Creslyn’s blood, and she’s focused her sights on one thing: landing the role of a lifetime. But she’s always been told that everything comes at a cost. The casting director names his when he tells her she must make him believe she can surrender to a harem of men, or he can’t justify giving her the lead role. Determined to prove him wrong and show him she can tap into a passion that deep, Creslyn throws herself into rehearsals. But the fine line between script and reality soon starts to blur, leading her and three men into unchartered territory. The only problem? She has a jealous roommate, a disgruntled mother, and a string of paparazzi hot on her trail, making Creslyn question the cost of everything. In a world where some things are best kept secret, is the price of fame too high when it comes to the heart? The Fire in His Touch Two friends. Three secrets. The truth was bound to happen. Knox Strickland is no stranger to Hollywood—or the consequences that come when light is shed on things best kept secret. Having grown up under the shadow of scandal, he’s learned to keep his private life just that: private. Especially when he has a proclivity for spanking. Cannon Bell’s career is on the rise when her world is flipped upside down and she finds herself homeless. When her best friend urges her to crash with their friend Knox, she can’t bring herself to share the secret she’s been keeping from Creslyn. And with the walls she’s successfully built around her heart—what could possibly go wrong? Cannon’s not the only one with a secret though. Knox longs to leave the limelight of Hollywood for the quieter thrill of running a horse sanctuary, which only a handful of his friends even know about. Things get complicated when the one secret that could tear apart his dreams is tied to the gorgeous woman now living—and sleeping—with him. Will their undeniable attraction spark anything more than a hot and heavy love affair—or will Knox’s lie of omission be too much for Cannon to forgive? And will her even
