Hypnotica By Kimberly Dean You are feeling very sexy... When shy Copper Daniels is entranced at an Erotic Hypnotic show, her Caribbean cruise quickly goes from restful to restless. Encouraged to find the hottest man in the room-the one who turns her on more than any other-she chooses Nick Branson. Nick isn't a saint. When Copper crawls onto his lap, he gives her what she needs-until he hears the hoots from the crowd. Angrily, he makes the hypnotist call off the spell. But it just doesn't take. As their sun-filled vacation progresses, Nick and Copper quickly learn that whenever somebody says the trigger word, her inhibitions fade and things between them get hot. Blistering hot. Copper knows, because afterwards she can remember every kiss, every sigh and every touch. Secretly, she hopes the spell never fades. Tandem By Elizabeth Donald Jericho Trail was too dangerous to hike alone-those were park rules. Hence two strangers hiking together. Chris went to the woods to be alone, to think and find peace after a bad breakup. Reed went to the woods for a good time. But he had no idea the trail would be so difficult - or that he would share it with such an intoxicating woman. Separated from the world, the dangers of the trail are nothing compared to the dance between two lost souls, forced together by circumstance but drawn together by the fire burning their blood. Off the Deep End By Anna J. Evans Caitlyn Saunders is looking for a little fun in the San Diego sun. But when she's caught in a spring storm and swept out to sea by a tidal wave, she's not really surprised. She and Fortune have never been friends. Still, who needs Fortune when you can have a dark, mysterious stranger? Lukas knows he has more pressing matters to attend to than pleasuring the mortal woman he pulled from the sea. But how's a man supposed to concentrate on royal intrigue when such a tempting woman is lying naked in his arms? Proving to this fiery redhead that he's the furthest thing from a mermaid-or a maid of any kind-is too decadently sensual a test to resist. Saint Jillian's Rebel By Eve Jameson In high school, Jillian Lawson had been nicknamed Saint Jillian by Pier's Point most infamous Rebel, Hunter Scott. Back then she hadn't known what to do with his erotic teasing except back away, keeping her good-girl image fully intact.
