JEANIE LONDON

Late one night, Lucas Russell gets the surprise of his life. A beautiful--and sexy--woman drops into his backyard. What else can he do but play knight in shining armor to rescue Bree Addison? And since he's wearing just a towel at the time...well, things move from surprising to steamy very quickly.

While their fling is thrilling and sensual, Bree's got secrets, but her distracting suggestions are preventing Lucas from discovering them. Worse, this affair is on a time limit. How can he convince her to trust him enough to confess when he's got one foot out the door? But just as it seems all is lost, Lucas gets a little help from an unexpected--and supernatural--source.

His only duty is to defend her

Covert agent Drew Canady has guarded Princess Mirie Selskla without once crossing the line between protector and lover. Keeping her safe, and his true identity under wraps, has never been a problem. Then an attack against Mirie sends her straight into his arms. Suddenly all those feelings he's never acknowledged won't go away.

Drew knows she's the last woman he should fall for. His focus must be on finding the enemy–even if that blows his cover and drives Mirie from his life for good. But as the stakes climb, maybe he's underestimated the power of the attraction between them….

She turned him down once before, but she's not making that mistake again. Ever since Laura Granger refused to mix a little business, pleasure and Dale Emerson, he's been tempting her with one sensual suggestion after another.

Now that their work is complete, it's long past time for this bad boy to make good on his sexy innuendos. One week together at a sexy resort that indulges every delight imaginable should satisfy her desire for him. Not to mention creating a few steamy memories Laura can keep with her when Dale leaves. But she doesn't count on precisely how hot they are together or how reluctant she is to see him go!

For the love of the chase...

That softer side proves more irresistible than his good looks. An unexpected—and unexpectedly intense—attraction flares between them making her wonder why she never saw this before.
