The One That I Want
October 7, 2014
Heat up the winter nights with this trio of sexy,
festive stories.
A Promise For The Holiday
Donna Hill
Devastated by her divorce, Cara Holiday vowed
never to be vulnerable again. Now she's a wildly successful real estate broker,
and wildly lonely. Restaurateur Mitch Davis has had his eye on her, but can't
break the ice--until he cooks up a scheme to hire her. Soon Cara is enjoying
his company--and secretly drawing out the process of selling his house. When
their deceptions collide, will their blossoming relationship make it to the
holidays?
A Sexy Christmas Carol Zuri
Day
After years of travel working for a pop diva,
Carol Robbins has moved back to Detroit in time for the holidays. She's bought
a home and bonded with her family. As for romance, she's got no
prospects--until she attends a VIP party and makes a surprising love
connection. Soon she's torn between her old "big life," her hopes for
the future--and one man who may give her the greatest gift of all. . .
Christmas Surprise Cheris
Hodges
Tired of coming second to her wealthy husband's
career, Lola Yvonne Joseph is sending him a very special gift this year:
divorce papers. Then she's leaving Miami for the kind of wintery white
Christmas she's always wanted. She definitely does not expect Jonathan to track
her down, whisk her away, and do everything possible to win her back. If he
succeeds, Lola has one more surprise in store for him. . .
Signed, Sealed, Delivered .. I'm Yours
[Kindle Edition]
Naleighna Kai (Author), Tanishia Pearson-Jones (Author), L. A. Lewis (Author), Joyce A Brown (Author), D. J. McLaurin(Author), Candy Jackson (Author), Valarie Prince (Author), Martha Kennerson (Author), Susan D. Peters (Author)
Nine authors, including national bestsellers and
award-winners, bring the romantic heat with stories featuring
leading men who are at your service from the military, law enforcement, and
civil service. The leading ladies, professionals who are successful in their
own rights, are all posing the type of challenge that means love won’t come
easy—these men are going to have to work for it. Will they succeed in winning
their woman's heart?
These
nine stories are a little bit naughty and a little bit nice, but we hope you’ll
find them every bit of enjoyable. Most women can appreciate a man in uniform …
perhaps even more so when the uniform comes off.
Zane's Addicted: A Novel
Zane (Author)
Before there was E.L. James’s 50
Shades of Grey, there was Zane’s Addicted. Once described as “the hottest paperback in the
country” by the New York Times and now a major motion picture
distributed by Lionsgate, this wildly popular novel by the Queen of Erotica
follows one woman’s life as it spirals out of control when her three
extramarital affairs lead her down a dark and twisted path.
For
successful African-American businesswoman Zoe Reynard, finding the pleasure she
wants, the way she wants it, is not worth the risk of losing everything she
has: marriage to the man she has loved since childhood, a thriving company, and
three wonderful children. But Zoe feels helpless in the grip of an overpowering
addiction…to sex.
Finding
a compassionate woman therapist to help her, Zoe finally summons the courage to
tell her torrid story, a tale of guilt and desire as shocking as it is
compelling. From the sensitive artist with whom she spends stolen hours on
rumpled sheets to the rough and violent man who draws her toward destruction,
Zoe is a woman desperately searching for fulfillment—and something darker,
deeper, and perhaps deadly. As her life spins out of control and her sexual
escapades carry her toward a dangerous choice, Zoe is racing against time to
uncover the source of her “fatal attraction”—as chilling secrets tumble forth
from the recesses of a woman's mind, and perilous temptations lead toward a
climax that can threaten her sanity, her marriage…and her life.
For You I Will (Sag Harbor Village)
Mellow sun-kissed days turn into sultry nights made for mutual
pleasure…
After ten years of service as chief of the E.R. at a New York City
hospital, Dr. Kai Randall decided to trade her scrubs for a calmer existence in
Sag Harbor Village. The only thing that has interrupted her serenity in months
is the photo she snapped of a handsome, solitary stranger. The image haunts
her. But that's nothing compared to how she feels when she comes face-to-face
with the man from her dreams.
When Assistant District Attorney Anthony Weston barges into Kai's
house frantically looking for his young daughter, he meets one beautiful
complication. Anthony's career ambitions caused him to lose his marriage—and
now he's on the cusp of a huge promotion. His life is in the city that Kai left
behind, but his heart is in the soul-stirring passion they share. Is this just
another sizzling summer fling or could this be the beginning of forever?
