Description

New York Times bestselling author Lauren Dane brings you the Chase Brothers: ridiculously hot, notoriously single. Read all four classic Chase Brothers novels in this collection! Giving Chase When landscaper Kyle Chase takes notice of Maggie Wright, all of Petal, Georgia, wonders what the quiet schoolteacher is hiding underneath her tight bun and boring blouses. Even Maggie doesn’t quite get it: she’s no match against the famous Chase charm, and Kyle has it in spades. Kyle wants Maggie in his life — and in his bed — and he doesn’t mind getting down and dirty to prove it. For years he’s avoided the kind of trouble that comes with ‘good girls’ like her, but Maggie’s the best trouble he’s ever been in. He craves more of it. More of her. But even as their love grows into thoughts of forever, a hidden danger from Maggie’s past threatens to tear them apart... Taking Chase Sheriff Shane Chase is drawn to the new girl in town from the moment he lays eyes on her. Not only is she gorgeous, but years on the job have taught him to know when someone is hiding something. And Cassie Gambol is hiding something big. He’s willing to take it slow to find out her secrets, no matter how much he burns to make her his. Cassie Gambol needs a fresh start, and she gets it by reinventing herself in the small town of Petal, Georgia. A new romance is the last thing on Cassie’s mind, but the impossibly hot town sheriff has her reconsidering her priorities. But when Cassie and Shane come face-to-face with the reason Cassie’s on the run, only her determination and his instincts can keep her safe from the past — and keep their future from ending before it can even begin. Chased Marc Chase is known in the small town of Petal, Georgia, for being the youngest — and some would say wildest — Chase brother. But when longtime family friend Liv Davis signs up for some personal training sessions, Marc realises the only woman he wants has been right in front of him all along. Mayor’s assistant Liv has been hurt too many times to let a Chase brother into her life — or into her bed. She’s ready for something more. Something she doesn’t think the six-years-younger Marc is ready to give. Knowing he’ll need more than pretty words to break through Liv’s wall of heartbreak, Marc takes the gamble of his life to prove his love: two days away, full of hot sex and bared souls. But will this bet be enough to win her heart forever? Making Chase All of Petal, Georgia, is waiting for the last Chase brother to fall. At least, that’s how it feels to firefighter Matt Chase, who’s getting a little anxious himself. His brothers have all found love — why hasn’t he? But fate, in the form of a curvaceous hairdresser, is about to change that. Salon owner Tate Murphy has come a long way from her trailer-park roots. Even though she’s put the past behind her, she knows someone like Matt Chase is way out of her league. But that doesn’t stop her from getting a good eyeful every chance she gets. When a car accident throws them together, Tate gets more than an eyeful — she gets the whole package. Not that she’s complaining. But when small-town bias and her own insecurities get in the way of their relationship, Matt will have to prove he doesn’t care where she came from...only where she goes. Originally published in 2006, 2007, 2008.
