International Bad Boys Books in Order

International Bad Boys is a trio of standalones linked by mood rather than plot, all about high-profile men whose lives look perfect from the outside and the women who meet them far from home. Instead of a single city, the series hops between snowed-in cottages, chic European studios, and Mediterranean kitchens, giving each romance its own postcard setting.

The common thread is simple, each bad boy is a charismatic rule-breaker who turns out to be far softer and more vulnerable than his public image suggests.

In The Sexy Stranger, Lilly flies back to Europe after discovering her fiancé has been cheating, only to find a gorgeous, very naked Italian man named Luca occupying what she thinks is her family's empty Scottish cottage. A snowstorm traps them together, and what starts as a mortifying wrong-place, wrong-time meet-cute becomes a holiday cocoon where both have to decide what they actually want from work, family expectations, and love.

The Arrogant Artist moves to Paris and into the orbit of Louis Marchant, a celebrity painter with the kind of ego and beauty that have made him a tabloid fixture. The heroine arrives to work for him and quickly discovers that beneath the attitude and the accent is someone hiding creative block, loneliness, and complicated pressure from the art world. Their dynamic swings between professional clashes in the studio and an almost unbearable physical attraction.

The Hotshot Chef brings things into the glare of reality television. Quinn Miller thought she had it all, a farmhouse, a long-term partner, and a hit renovation show, until scandal blows up her life and career. The only way out is a new project filmed in Spain with the network's star chef, Sebastien Sanchez, a man whose flirtatious charm and fame drive her crazy. Forced to share kitchens, villas, and camera crews, they cook, clash, and slowly realise that the future they each want might only make sense if they build it together.
