Ultimate Prize by Lolita Lopez

When luscious burlesque performer Yoli Ramirez sashays onstage, cage fighter Zel Tesla is rendered breathless. He's never seen anything as exotic or tantalizing as Yoli swinging those voluptuous hips in an elaborate dance. As the curtain falls, Zel knows he must meet her. The second Yoli claps eyes on Zel, desire blossoms. When Zel visits her dressing room, she surrenders to the irresistible lust and begins a torrid affair with the oh so delicious fighter. She'd never imagined meeting someone like Zel, a man who makes her wonder if maybe, just maybe, this is her chance for happily ever after. But the reality of Zel's no-holds-barred profession threatens to come between Yoli and that elusive happiness.

Susie's Choice by Barbara Elsborg

When lovers Christian and Joel advertise for a housekeeper, they aren't expecting—or wanting—Mrs. Doubtfire, although one of the applicants could double as Mrs. D's sister. But when little Susie Hood walks into their lives, scraped knees from a tumble with her bike and with the looks and heart of a broken angel, the attraction is instant and irrevocable and it's all they can do not to lock her up and throw away the key. They want her in their bed, their lives, now…forever… She is everything they wanted, needed—but she has to want both of them. Together, separately, in any and every combination they can think of. As the sexual heat between them escalates, all three are forced to make decisions having far-reaching ramifications. Sometimes choosing love is the hardest decision of all.

A Woman's Estate by Roberta Gellis

Fifth in the Heiress series

Abigail Lydden, widow of Francis, Lord Lydden, left America for England in the middle of the war of 1812 because her husband's father had died and her son was now heir to an earldom. Sir Arthur St. Eyre was also taken by surprise by Lord Lydden's death, finding himself executor of the earl's estate. Sir Arthur and Lady Lydden are thrown together and find it an attractive association, which becomes more and more intense when Victor's and Abigail's lives are threatened. But those threats are not the only problems. Sir Arthur is a Member of Parliament and eager for a British victory in America. Although British by birth, Abigail sympathizes mainly with "poor little America", as a victim of Britain's armed power. The heat of contention only adds to the heat of attraction, but can Sir Arthur allow Abigail the independence she needs—and can he forgive her when he discovers she has committed treason? Accusation and enlightenment explode family ties, leaving Arthur and Abigail to reorder their lives… if they can.

Feather Down by Lorie O'Clare

There's one problem—Lana's nest might very well be the reason all the species are fighting.

Lana is positive about one thing. Any male who flies by her side will treat her as an equal. There is no way she will ever sit at a nest and have her kill ready for a male who shows up when he wants to get his tail feathers wet. But when Dover shows her how erotic lovemaking can be, he also steals her heart. If he's in town to destroy her nest, she won't be able to live with herself. Unfortunately, Lana also knows there is no way she can live without Dover.

He seriously thinks he's a flesh-and-blood vampire and says she'll turn into one as well!

However, after returning home, Chloe discovers that Tristan might not have been the loony she first assumed him to be. Stranger still, while she must come to terms with the extraordinary new changes in her life, she must also fend off an irresistible husband, who is hell-bent on winning her back.

But happily-ever-after isn't so easy for these two when Chloe learns that Tristan hasn't exactly played the game of love fairly.

All Night Videos by Sahara Kelly
For Research Purposes Only

He's rich, handsome and at the top of his game. Unfortunately for Jack Foster, the "game" is played in the world of adult movies and he's tired of it. Awards, fame, where he's better known as "Big John Johnson" and the cachet of being the most respected producer in his field have come to mean little to Jack, who prepares himself to suffer through yet another endless promotional appearance filled with plastic-enhanced women and meaningless conversation. When he meets Daphne Littlewood, however, he's in for a surprise. Daphne has an almost-completed thesis in her bag and research questions in her head. She doesn't know Jack, in the literal or figurative sense. She's simply dropping by this uncomfortably sexual establishment to find out about the current level of adult material available to the public. An interested helping hand from the handsome man in the adult video store takes her out of her everyday life and into places she'd never imagined. Some of her questions are answered, but still more are posed.

At Cross Purposes

She's blonde, beautiful and possessed of a body that won't quit. The name "Bambi" fits with her undercover assignment in an adult video store. Clearly her real name — Detective Barbara Fremont — won't get her very far in her bootleg DVD investigation. Especially when she decides to check out that suspiciously good-looking guy behind the register. Inspector Lou Franconi watches the blonde hooker with more than professional interest. Her smile puts a twist in his boxers in spite of her choice of occupation. If he wasn't working undercover as a temporary adult video store manager while pursuing a bootleg DVD investigation… A typical failure to communicate forces Lou and Barbara into an uneasy collaboration as they pursue their case through the very public sexual world of porn. And the very private sexual world their association creates between the two of them. It's not long before they realize they may not be working at cross purposes after all.

Acid Rayne by Ciana Stone & Nathalie Gray
Rayne is a mercenary, six feet of blonde bombshell. As clean-up gal for diamond privateers, she's seen her fair share of ugly deals and violence. And her latest mission promises to be the same. Yet the price of her choices is getting higher. All her life she's wanted to find a good, strong man, one who would know how to touch her, quench the all-consuming fire and match her sexual energy. Now that she's finally found him, she has to hide her true self, lie and cheat. Former special ops soldier Ripley Knight is everything she wants, all that she craves. His demanding hands conquer all her defenses and his mouth—that wicked thing—denudes her every secret. No pleasure is beyond his skill and no decadence too great. In exchange, all Rip wants is the one thing she can't give. Truth. Amidst the torrid Floridian wilderness and carnival season, with dangers coming at her from every quarter, Rayne will learn that only Rip can help her. Only he can douse the inferno.

Connyn has finally gotten his royal hands on his mate—a brown-eyed, smart-mouthed vixen with a stubborn streak he's looking forward to taming in and out of bed. After he uses his magic to secretly watch her bring herself to a powerful climax, he claims her as his own through the Mating Rite, binding her body to him through submission and ecstasy. Having hunted her through years and worlds, he'll do anything to fulfill the destiny he's been denied until now. He doesn't waste time winning her heart or explaining her place in Ilyria before he possesses her, confident she'll willingly offer up her heart and trust eventually. But Aurora is guarding secrets that will shake the very foundations of Connyn's world and though her body might be his to command, her heart is guarded by a promise she's determined to honor. Ultimately, all he has ever lived for will be the price required to keep the mate who has captured his soul.

When Dayton Stewart buys a home in a Toronto neighborhood, he thinks his life can't get any better…until he meets Simon Tate, his gorgeous new neighbor. Add Simon's friend Mateo to the mix and sparks fly. In Simon's mind, being neighborly involves something other than homemade cookies or a dinner invitation. It means a threesome in the parlor and some quality time in the old, stone-walled bondage basement. A wall web, a step stool, floggers and lube.

After all, they're just being neighborly.

When his old boss tells him the lovely Ms. Holly has a thing for tall, dark and brawny, and wants to be pulled over and punished for her transgressions, Peter just can't say no. The easy part will be making Holly's lusty fantasies come true. The hard part will be working up the nerve afterward to ask her out on a real date.

Echoes of Passion by Eilis Flynn
Part of the Hunters for Hire series

Neotia Prime… The home world of the Neoti and the Vozuans was destroyed by a doomsday device 20 years ago, but the troubles and unrest that led to the event still plague those who resettled on the twin planet.

When Daegon Bosaru arrives on the unnamed world, determined to uncover who is out to smear his dying father's good name, he discovers that the tragedies of that civil war still haunt those who remain. Not only that, the mysterious, beautiful woman he's been seeing in his dreams over the past 20 years may have information he needs. But when he finally meets Imreen Dal in the flesh, she seems not to know him—and furthermore, she runs from him every time she encounters him.

Rumors persist that the crazed dictator who set off the doomsday device may still be alive…with fresh plans for conquest. Bosaru needs to find out how his father, the mysterious Imreen and the madman are related…and stop another world from being destroyed.

Run the Gantlet by Amarinda Jones
One thousand years ago Caitriona of Gaunt cursed a future kinswoman. Eloise is the last Gaunt woman standing. Her fate? To fall in love with a vampire and run a gantlet to prove her love. Eloise is determined never to cross the path of a vampire—until she meets the hard-bodied and delicious Arrow and falls for him. One minute she hates him and the next she's in his arms. And that's not her biggest problem. They have to pass seven challenges to stay alive—if they can keep their hands off each other long enough.
Running the gantlet is just a side issue for Arrow. His biggest test is making Eloise fall in love with him. He craves the taste of her innocent body and sweet blood. Seducing her with sin and sex is the answer and he's not about to let any challenge stand in his way.
