Abigail Wetherby, prickly proprietress of the Cove Bookshop in Camden Cove, Virginia, had finally met her match - the only man who could crack her brittle veneer. Nick Maxwell, to whom she had said "No credit," had thawed her frozen assets and set fire to the woman beneath. How could she know that this stranger whom she'd come to trust completely had not told her the truth about himself? Elaine Raco Chase is an award-winning author of a dozen contemporary romances, a mystery series, and a nonfiction mystery writers guide.

( Engineering robots, and all non-living creatures, was e...)
Engineering robots, and all non-living creatures, was easy for Virginia - not so much with people. So when her best friend dragged her to the company Halloween party, Virginia went kicking and screaming...well as much as her Playboy bunny costume allowed for any movement. But with her mask in place and her normal reserve as tiny as her costume, Dr. Farrell suddenly let loose. Wild and wanton, she fell into the muscular arms of the costumed and masked Bandit. His virile charms and passionate kisses penetrated her reserve. But at the stroke of midnight, when the masks were to come off, Virginia fled, leaving her bunny tail in the palm of the handsome Bandit's hand. Alex Braddock was determined to find the curvy ass that fit the tail. He was stunned when it appeared that his new boss, Dr. Farrell was his sexy rabbit. But was it the prim, professional Virginia? She resembled oatmeal! Or her wanton twin sister, Ginger? She got turned on by the navel in an orange! Which woman was the aggressor? Which woman ignited burning desire? Which woman - became the all-consuming question that needed an answer. This romantic comedy is a laugh-a-minute, with a team of fairy godmothers that would make any Cinderella blush and a surprise twist in the middle that makes for no easy way out!

( "Good girls finish last, Daniel, and I've always been a...)
"Good girls finish last, Daniel, and I've always been at the head of the class." That's what Vixen Mallory would say, and Vikki Kirkland was saying it now - to Dan Falkner, ace reporter who'd come to do a story on the soap opera and the star that had taken the cable network and viewership by storm. Welcome to Sodom's Crossing, just south of the equator - well actually downtown Manhattan! From her billboard in Times Square to her rare vertical photos in Playboy - the world was finding it easy to be Vixen-ized. Vikki had sworn to her fellow castmates on Always Tomorrow that she would protect their secrets by being the sexy, unscrupulous siren on camera and off - to the hilt. Making sure that investigative reporter Dan Falkner would focus on the illusion rather than the sweet, shy woman Vikki really was. There was just one problem - Vikki never imagined how easy it would be to enjoy being a vixen and take what she wanted. And she found she wanted Dan Falkner more than she had ever wanted any man.

( "Lady, I want you to stop seducing my son! Hell, what a...)
"Lady, I want you to stop seducing my son! Hell, what are you, 32, 34, Rob is 17..there's room for a whole other person!" Thus in one of Nashville's poshest restaurants began a stream of threats against Stephanie Brandt along with a heavy hand 'mangling' her shoulder, followed by a bill shoved into the middle of her quiche by a big man wearing work boots, denim and a T-shirt with an obscene foreign word printed on it. Until Quintin Ward stormed into her life with his threats and accusations, Stevie had not known his son Rob even existed., let alone was her mail room clerk. When she's finally able to convince Quintin that she has no designs on his son, they embark on a campaign to squelch Rob's amorous ideas and fantasy love-life with his boss. But their very calculated risk backfires!

Meet Casey Reynolds - she is NOT thin, petite, clueless, virginal or submissive. Which is exactly why Travis Craig wanted to, "kick down her door and throw her on that bed." Meet the Keurig killer who makes one tough alpha male go down on his knees and a few other positions as well! All Casey Reynolds wanted was peace and quiet and a long vacation from covering the crime beat in Boston. That's why she agreed to borrowing a villa in Mexico to rest, be alone, and work on her novel. But then he showed up - Travis Craig. He said he was offered the villa to recover from a serious illness. He had just lost his teaching job and had no money to leave. She agreed with his plan to share the house - but on her terms. Soon rest and relaxation were a thing of the past when their double occupancy proved too erotic to control.

( Welcome to Glacier Country! Luthor Devlin and his ranch...)
Welcome to Glacier Country! Luthor Devlin and his ranch hands were out tracking 20th-century rustlers when they stepped into a time warp! There on the jagged cliffs was a woolly mammoth, a sabre-toothed tiger, and a tawny, near-naked savage. She was a primal fantasy come true - that left him stunned! His gaze locked onto hers. "I'd really appreciate an explanation of all this. You, the hairy elephant, and the cat with the overbite are not the norm in Montana. And I know you can understand my every word. So anytime you'd like to begin." Her relaxed appraisal hadn't gone unnoticed by either the man or the large tiger. The latter proved her undoing. His mouth opened not to snarl again but to emit a long, loud, kittenish yawn. The tiger rolled over, rubbed his back and shoulders into the ground, his hind legs spread-eagle, yawned again, and pawed sleepily at his face. To the amazement of everyone, his sword-like teeth fell out. "Damn it, Pumpkin, why couldn't you have just growled!" She extended her hand. "Cam Stirling, action technician." At his confused expression, she sighed. "Stunt woman." She was wild, irresistible - and he was the man to tame her. She dared the devil every day - why not Luthor Devlin!
