Love conquers all when you least expect it.
The Pint-Sized Secret Geologist Brianna O'Ryan was beautiful, intelligent...and possibly a corporate spy! Yet the more Jeb Delacourt investigated what the single mom had tried to keep hidden, the more he felt her secret was not professional, but personal...and the faster she made his pulse race. Soon, stolen kisses and midnight embraces had Brianna wondering if it was time to risk everything for love... MARRYING A DELACOURT
Once upon a time, Michael Delacourt's tempting kisses had sent Grace Foster's heartbeat ricocheting. Now here she was on an isolated Texas ranch with the only man she'd ever loved...the man she could never marry. So when a tidal wave of longing overcame her, she shifted her focus to the two vulnerable runaways who'd landed in Michael's care. Clearly, the oil tycoon needed Grace's parenting skills, so why the fire in his touch? Did he harbor a fierce desire for one more chance at love--this time forever?

Descriere
Eagerly awaited debut fiction from one of Canada's most exciting and admired writers, winner of the internationally prestigious Windham-Campbell Prize.
Canisia Lubrin's debut fiction is that rare work of art: a brilliant, startlingly original book that combines immense literary and political force. Its structure is deceptively simple and ingenious: it departs from the infamous real-life "Code Noir," a set of historical decrees originally passed in 1685 by King Louis XIV of France defining the conditions of slavery in the French colonial empire. The original Code had fifty-nine articles; Code Noir has fifty-nine short, linked fictions that present vivid, unforgettable, multi-layered fragments, filled with globe-wise characters who desire to live beyond the ruins of the past. Ranging in style from contemporary realism to dystopia, from futuristic fantasy to historical fiction, this stream of irrepressible stories ultimately exists far beyond the enclosures of official decrees. An original, timely, culturally daring, virtuoso performance by a rising literary star.
