      A SOUTH BEACH EXCLUSIVE!

      According to our sources in the services industry, the long-standing accountant at celebrity hotspot Brittany Beach has skipped town. No word yet on how much of Brittany Garrison’s money the money-counter may have taken with him on what is sure to be a long holiday. A spy at a popular beachside restaurant reports that the youngest Garrison sibling is searching for a financial backer to bail her out of her latest disaster and that she won’t turn to her wealthy siblings for help.

      And that might be for the best. Another source informs us that the Garrison clan is still reeling from the discovery of a sixth sibling – an alleged product of one of Old Man Garrison’s affairs. A close family confidante reports that the recently discovered sister owns a chunk of Garrison, Inc and is willing to play hardball with reformed-for-now playboy Parker Garrison in order to keep her shares.

      Also in South Beach, we hear the Jefferies Brothers are looking to expand their business ventures once again. Seems the recently opened boutique lodging of Hotel Victoria wasn’t enough competition for the once-popular Garrison Grand. No word yet on where the breathtaking bachelors have set their sights this time.

      Dear Reader,

      There is nothing quite like the culture, colour and romance of south Florida. The sidewalks of South Beach sizzle with the beautiful people, the nightclubs rock with excitement and the sun soaks everything in a golden glow. I know because I’ve lived in Florida for almost fifteen years, and, for much of that time, I worked in Miami and played on the narrow strip of land known simply as So Be. Because of that, I am thrilled to launch a new dynasty series that is as hot as the tropics and as cool as the neon lights on Ocean Avenue.

      In many ways, the Garrison family is typical of the über-wealthy, ultra-chic, super-hip residents of South Beach, but they are also men and women with dreams and disappointments, fears and frustrations. And because their stories are part of the Desire™ line, the characters are as rich with conflict as they are with cash. And, best of all, they have secrets that threaten to tumble their empire, or break their hearts.

      I fell in love with all of the Garrisons, as I hope you will. In this series, you can root for the alpha men, like Parker Garrison, who sometimes lose the control they cherish, and cheer for the lucky ladies, like Anna Cross, who threaten to wreck the order of the men’s lives. So grab a pastel-coloured drink, dig your feet into some imaginary sand and discover the world of power, privilege and passion that is the Garrison family of Miami Beach!

      One

      When Parker Garrison strode into the conference room of Garrison, Inc., he noticed three things, despite the blinding sunshine that bounced off the water of Biscayne Bay and silhouetted the figures of his siblings, their mother and a few highly paid lawyers. One, there was no conversation. None. Not that he’d expected a party atmosphere at the reading of his father’s will, but it was unusual for a gathering of Garrisons to be quiet. They were, at the very least, an opinionated clan.

      Two, his mother appeared relatively sober. All right, it was eight-thirty in the morning and even Bonita Garrison rarely hit the juice before noon, unless he counted the Bloody Marys she consumed in preparation for the Sunday family dinners. But since his father’s death two weeks ago, she’d leaned on her liquid crutch early and often.

      Three—and most significant—John Garrison’s chair at the head of the mile-long cherrywood table remained empty. A situation Parker intended to rectify.

      His sister Brittany practically choked when he eased himself onto the buttery leather and set his BlackBerry on the table in front of him.

      “You’re sitting in Dad’s chair?” Brittany demanded, tapping the digital device that was never far from his right hand.

      “It’s empty.” Parker ignored the implication that he was muscling in on his father’s turf. Because he was. He was the oldest. He’d run the family’s umbrella corporation for the past five years, since his father had given him the CEO position
