But the perfect seduction backfires when Bobbie becomes ensnared in her own dangerous trap. 2) Ai wa Meiro no Naka ni (愛は迷路のなかに; Perfect Marriage Material) illust. by HIDAKA Nanao Tullah Richards knows she shouldn't be fantasizing about her boss. She'd come into the company convinced she'd despise the womanizing Saul Crighton.

She knows it?she just has to find a way to prove it to Saul. 3) Ai wa Unmei no Mama ni (愛は運命のままに; The Perfect Match?) illust. by HIMURA Soraha The Crightons have position, power and elegance...and a past scandal to haunt them. The dark, brooding Guy Cooke just had to be the ideal man. Chrissie was entranced and, the wonder of it was, Guy appeared to be equally mesmerized by her! It seemed the perfect match but was it all too good to last? Chrissie had a family secret that Guy could surely never forgive... 4) Ai wa Madoi no Nochi ni (愛は惑いののちに; The Perfect Lover) illust. by OGATA Rin Relations between European Union nations can be tense, but that's nothing compared to the war that's been brewing between Professor Gareth Simmonds and Louise Crighton.

Then a savage mugging leaves Max near death. As his body struggles to recover, Max realizes that there are still much deeper wounds to be healed?and that living without Maddy is worse than not living at all... 6) Ai wa Kanawanu Yume ni (愛はかなわぬ夢に; The Perfect Father) illust. by AKINO Nanami Samantha Miller yearned to start a family, but eligible men were in short supply. Maybe visiting her happily married twin in England would help. Liam Connolly should have been relieved to see Sam set off for England. Since she'd been a gangly teenager, she'd had a crush on him. He'd managed to resist her as he'd felt her impetuous nature made them an unlikely match. So why, after she'd confessed the reason behind her trip, did he suddenly find he wanted to be the man to father her babies! 7) Ai wa Kurushimi no Oku ni (愛は苦しみの奥に; A Perfect Night) illust. by KARINO Mao Katie's twin, Louise, married the love of her life, and Katie even helped make it happen. Now the pressure is on for her to find love. But she won't make it to the altar if she's run over in her home town. SebastianCooke might drive a bit fast in this small town, but he'll never be able to catch up with his daughter Charlotte. A chance encounter might lead to happiness for all three of them, but only if Katie can give up her crush on her sister's new husband? 8) Ai wo Boukyou no Anata ni (愛は望郷のかなたに; Coming Home) illust. by SANAZAKI Harumo David Crighton never expected to find love when he returned home to Brussels, Belgium. So when herbologist Honor Jessop, who has a difficult past of her own, offered David a live-in position at her greenhouse nursery, he readily accepted it. During a particularly severe thunderstorm, David comforts Honor and calms her from her fears. With little to no knowledge of each other's past, they come to accept the imperfection of humanity and each other, but will David be able to overcome his past mistakes and find a future with Honor? (descriptions taken from fictiondb) These are actually books #2 - #8 and #10 of Penny Jordan's "The Crightons" series.
