The Year of Living Shamelessly

So many fantasies. So little time.

Every year, Katie Kramer makes the same New Year's resolution: have a wild affair with her brother's best friend, Ryder Scott. Every year, it's the same disappointment. It doesn't help that her good-girl reputation can't stand up to the hot competition, or that Ryder's always seen Katie as just his friend's innocent sister.

Ryder adores the Kramers. And it's always been a pleasure to keep an eye out for the sweet and uncomplicated Katie. Of course he'd never let on that he's always had a thing for her—to actually act on it would be impossible. Because Ryder's got a dirty side only a few girls really appreciate.

He never expected that Katie would make the first move—much less match him, kink for kink. But this year, Katie knows what she wants. With less than a week to show off her X-rated side, she sheds all her inhibitions. When it comes to satisfying a few fantasies, a woman has to be shameless.

Red-Hot and Royal

Notify the royal guard...
Three everyday women are about to break through the gates, take on the palace and turn on the princes.

Kylee, Lauren, and Shayla are modern-day ordinary women who would never meet the requirements for fabled princesses. Damsels in distress? Definitely not. Fairest in the land? They wish. Pure as snow? Not even close.

Now, these three women are about to get to know the wild side of royalty—and inspire three princes to cast the crown aside and bare it all. Their encounters are royally erotic—and the happily ever after they reach is not exactly the fairytale ending you’d expect. It’s much, much hotter. One thing's for sure: These princes never had it so good…

Ex, Why, and Me

Who knew that horseradish was an aphrodisiac?

Not Michelle Nelson. She signed up again to help promote her hometown's annual Horseradish Festival out of the goodness of her heart. No one said anything about a major publicity stunt, a romantic local legend, and prize money for the team voted "sexiest couple." And she is absolutely sure no one mentioned her new partner in this dubious event: Ryan Slater, a guy rumored to be an aphrodisiac for a lot of satisfied women.

Yeah, right.

Michelle and Ryan shared one disastrous evening together—a romantic catastrophe if ever there was one. There's no way this former Miss Horseradish is going to suffer that humiliation again. But Ryan—every denim-clad muscle and wicked, grinning, I-know-what-you're-thinking inch of him—is equally determined to get another chance with Michelle. And once the hunt is on, there's no turning back.

Valentine's Day is Killing Me
Featuring Susanna's novella, "Valentine Survivor"

Lost roses. Cancelled reservations. Broken dates. Arrests. Dead bodies. There's always some reason to hate Valentine's Day… unless the scene of the crime starts really heating up….

This Valentine's Day was supposed to be different for Shanna Murphy. She had a hot date, sought-after dinner reservations, and a brand new vase to show off those potential long-stemmed roses. But Murphy's Law intervened, and now her date cancelled, she's stuck doing overtime, and she's just discovered the body of her boss-from-hell. The only person Shanna can turn to is her ex-boyfriend, Calder Smith, who just happens to be the most insensitive, non-romantic, domineering—and completely irresistible—alpha male she's ever laid eyes on…

Lip Lock

MISTRESS OF THE MOVES

Molly Connors can talk her way out of almost every situation. That is, unless she's around her boss, Kyle Ashton, a gorgeous computer tycoon with smoldering eyes and a long, lean body that doesn't quit. Every move he makes promises sophisticated sex. What woman wouldn't go tongue-tied?

But she can't risk getting too close to Kyle. No one can know that her fabulous clothes aren't hers, or that she's holding on by her manicured fingertips. But once she gets that big promotion, she'll make good on every one of her white lies. Uh-oh. Did Kyle really just say those three little words? You are... fired? He did. If she doesn't have a job any more — or an apartment — she'll do whatever it takes to survive, even if it means camping out in one of Kyle's rarely used homes. He'll never know. Right?

MASTER OF THE GAME

Now that the sexy con artist has been pink-slipped out of his company and his life, Kyle can relax. Not. Molly doesn't play by the rules. And the very important clients he just brought to his weekend house think that she's his fiancée! If that's her game, he fully intends to win. Even if he has to kiss her senseless... and love her all night long...

Confessions of a "Wicked" Woman

GOOD "BAD GIRL"

This is the reason Stephanie Monroe ran away from small-town America in the first place—this insane sense of buttoned-up propriety that's managed to get her thrown in jail. It's not her fault people can't tell the difference between her haute couture and lady-of-the-evening wear! But now, after several citizen complaints, Stephanie finds herself booked by one of Mayfield's finest... and finest is definitely the word. Everything about Jack Logan, from his strong jaw to the way he wears his holster, is irresistibly appealing. And now, the biggest temptation in town—a man in uniform—is resurrecting Stephanie's long-buried, apple-pie good girl... and she needs to do something about it fast...

Original 2005 cover

MEETS "GOOD" BAD BOY

It took a lot of hard work for Sheriff Jack Logan to turn away from his bad boy past and become the voice of authority and integrity in this town. So far, he's managed to keep that devilish wild streak buried beneath his badge and his duty. But the minute he looks into Stephanie's eyes, he knows he's in trouble. The big-city lady fights back with a style he admires, even if he suspects that bad-girl come-hither walk is nothing but an act. More and more, Jack can't decide whether to drag her across the city limits or into his bed. One thing's for sure—the longer she stays in town, the more ready this reformed bad boy is to shed his uniform and show Stephanie a whole new side to serve and protect...

Aidan thinks he knows exactly what Mia wants. That's because he's the only man she's ever gone to, to get it.

This is the weekend that four best friends at the crossroads of their relationships have decided to do something different. They will consider a dare—and explore every one of its possibilities. But as sexual partners shift, Jamie, Caleb, Mia and Aidan will discover more about themselves and each other than they ever imagined.
