Eleven scorching stories so hot you'll need to turn up the air!

Sasha White - WATCH ME
What is it about the tease that’s so hot?

What is it about the tease that’s so hot?
You know what I’m talking about. That tingle you get between your thighs when someone exciting catches your eye, or when you catch his. The lingering looks, the hair toss, the silent communication. That time when your blood heats up and your body awakens as you feel the magic of “what if?”

Jacquie Biggar - THE REBEL'S REDEMPTION
What happens when the one person you love more than life itself walks out of your life and you hear nothing from them for eight years? Then one day, that person returns.

He looked good. The random thought floated through her mind even as she tried to digest the fact he was finally back. Eight years too late, but he was here. She wanted to grab Chris and run. Run before what was obvious to her became obvious to everyone else.

Liz Matis - LOVE BY DESIGN
An HGTV meets Sex and the City romp!

"Trust me." Victoria said.
With a design plan sure. With his heart? Never.
Victoria was too volatile to begin with, changing mood like a three-year old pageant princess.

Lynda Bailey - KIRA
What's a girl to do when she's got a terrible spanking itch? Why blackmail a hunky boxer into scratching it for her of course.

Kira picked up the spoon and whacked it against her palm. The sharp sound reverberated at the base of Hunter's spine. "By staying, you agreed to do whatever I want, remember?" Whack. "But relax." Whack. Whack. "These aren't for you. They're for me."”

Amy Gregory - COMBINING DREAMS
Drake Dunner has had his mind and heart set on Nashville for as long as he can remember. He'd avoided any distraction or entanglement at all cost. Yet, one county fair, one small stage and a hot afternoon changed everything. Seeing her smile up at him was all it took. Now how does he keep his dream alive?

Cami Highland went to the fair with her friends to have a good time. Then he started to sing. Cami locked eyes with Drake and she was under his spell. They agreed to one summer. Spent their days and nights getting to know each other. But the time has come for Drake to head after his dreams in Nashville.
When it comes time to say goodbye, what dreams will live and which ones will be crushed?

Calinda B - APHRODITE
Heat builds as a lonely Navy seaman meets an equally lonely young woman on a 24-hour tryst that will change their lives, forever.

“Anyone else in here?” a deep male voice asked.
Tara’s hand flew to her mouth, her eyes widening.
“I know you heard me.”
Damn, damn, damn, Tara thought.
“I said, is there anyone in here but you, chocolate ice cream seductress? Hell of a blow job you gave that ice cream cone."

Nancy Brophy - THE WRONG HERO
What if everything you knew about your husband was wrong?
What If that knowledge could kill you?
Where would you go? Where could you hide?

Slapping a flat palm against his chest, she leaned closer, lowering her voice to barely above a whisper. “If this is a chess game, then the one thing you should have been able to predict is that the queen always protects the king.”
Just telling him wasn’t enough. Every nerve in her body screamed for revenge, for the lost years, and for the injustice she’d suffered.

Maggie Adams - WHISTLIN' DIXIE
Sexy homebuilder, Mac Coalson, is determined to catch a vandal, but sassy spitfire, Dixie Harris, is in his way. And the whole town is taking bets on the passionate outcome.

“Dixie baby, please open up. You didn’t see what you thought you saw. Please. Just let me explain.” Mac pleaded.
“I may be young, but I’m not stupid. And I am most certainly not blind,” she snapped at him from the other side of the door. The man was unbelievable.
“You are the most infuriating bit of baggage I have ever encountered. If I didn’t care for you so much, I’d leave right now and never look back.”
“You call that caring?! I call it a line of crap! The only thing you cared about begins with an “F” and ends with me losing my virginity!” Oh, God! Had she really just shouted that?

D'Ann Lindun - LILY'S SUMMER COWBOY
Afraid to love, Lily Halderman is determined to never feel despair like when she lost her husband to cancer. Will Wainwright is running from the pain of the past.

He took the glass, their fingers bumping. A sudden rush of hot blood through his system startled him. The cold drink wasn’t enough to cool him and he crunched a piece of ice with his teeth, letting it slide down his throat.

J.C. Makk - ROYAL SUMMER
Anti-monarchist Willow Forbes is determined to revise her strategy after failing to depose the king responsible for her father's death. But when she retreats to a seaside cottage and mistakes the dashing Jaxon Baine for the local handyman, the sexy royal puts a serious kink in Willow's political and personal plans.

Jaxon Baine, Duke of Summerton, has spent a grueling political term fighting to preserve the monarchy. Now he's looking forward to a peaceful season at Summerton Castle, the one place his painful past can be forgotten. But when the castle's cottage is rented to the beguiling Willow Forbes—Royal Enemy Number One—Jaxon's summer heats up.

Can two hearts from opposite sides of life find love?
Or will the dangers and secrets of the past destroy them both?

Terry Spear - EXCHANGING GROOMS
Lisa Robbins has one mission in mind–sell back her UNUSED wedding dress to the wedding shop, but when she has no success, maybe she’s going about this all wrong. Peter Crawford is intrigued by the woman who has somehow hooked Dallas’s most eligible confirmed bachelor, Pembrooke Hastings, Peter’s staunchest enemy. But when Peter takes an interest in her, she’s wondering just what to do about Dallas’s most eligible confirmed bachelor number two, when he just won’t take no for an answer.

Peter Crawford laid the tux on the counter, his gaze fixed on the blonde—a sporty compact—sleek, hot, and a real spitfire—as she hastily departed the store with the bundle of satin and lace crammed in her arms.
“Do you need anything else, Mr. Crawford?”
He turned his attention to the clerk. “No. That’ll be all, Rheba. So…who was the blonde?”

HOT SUMMER NIGHTS, Vol. 2

~The Third Collection~

Eleven scorching stories so hot you'll need to turn up the air!

Jami Davenport - CRASHING THE BOARDS
Can a party crasher melt the icy heart of a reluctant party guest or will she crash and burn along with her fledgling business?

“She’s heading your way.” Cedric jerked his head, and Cooper forgot all about the team owner. Isabella walked toward him with the loose-hipped stride of a runway model. This time he was ready for her games. In fact, he’d play a few of his own, and he played to win.

Sandra Sookoo - OPERATION WEDDING CRASH
When Nora Lenhart and her ex, Camden Webber, are thrown together at an engagement dinner, they devise a plan to break up the ill-suited bride and groom for the good of all involved. As the big day nears, emotions hit a breaking point, proving that wedding planning is more suited to a reality show and while happy endings are optional, they exist despite the odds, and can be had if they stop fighting long enough.

“There’s something about you I’ve missed all this time,” he whispered, and then his lips were on hers and the world didn’t exist.
She didn’t give herself up to the kiss. Instead, she became an active participant. Every kiss, every meeting of his mouth, she followed and mimicked, and when he didn’t move along quite as fast as she liked, Nora pulled him closer, her back pressing into the door, and parted her lips, hoping to encourage him to take advantage.

Bonnie Edwards - SLOW HAND
In this erotically-charged novella, jilted bride Teri, and charter boat captain Jared, have one short week together under the sultry Caribbean sun. Can Jared’s slow hand lead them beyond torrid sex into a lifetime of love?

“I’ve wanted to kiss these tiny perfect toes since you took your shoes off at the pier.”
“Just keep moving up my leg and I’ll be happy.”
His fingers slid to her knee. “You mean up to here?” He swirled her pinky toe into his mouth and tugged on it.
Her knee turned into a fireworks display at the same time her toe melted in his mouth. “Unnnnhh, higher.” She’d implode if he kept up this slow pace.

Diana Duncan - DEAL WITH THE DEVIL
Paradise for software designer Cynthia Wagner means uninterrupted solitude to invent a brilliant video game, and save her job. But renovations on her city apartment force her to seek refuge in a temporary rental in the ‘burbs.

The promised Paradise morphs into Purgatory when she meets her new neighbor, a deliciously tempting Irish rogue sporting a wicked grin and to-die-for body. Rory Devlin is a dangerous distraction—and he’s hiding a naughty secret.

Cynthia shifted from foot to foot. What did one say to a man after he’d treated you to dinner, given you a fabulous, unexpected orgasm, and then blown up your house—technicalities aside? “Well…um…good night.”
Holding her in his gaze, he prowled a step toward her. Then another. “Cyn.” His low brogue shivered through her as he touched her upper arm. “Sorry I lost my temper with you before.”
“I’ve certainly lost mine enough the past few days.” Constriction in her chest made it hard to exhale. “No apology necessary. You’re only human, Rory.”
He shifted, leaning closer, and his fingertips stroked up the bare skin of her arm to her shoulder.
Her breath jammed in her throat.
“Aye.” Rory’s voice rumbled to a whisper. “That I am.” His fingers slid to the back of her neck, stroking the tender nape. Then his head bent, and his soft, warm mouth covered hers.
Cynthia forgot all about breathing.

Deanna Cameron - DANCE WITH ME
Superstar drummer Taz Roman has it all—looks, money, fame. To ambitious belly dancer Melanie Drake, he’s also a playboy with a bad reputation. But when she discovers he isn’t the man she thought he was, her change of heart is going to change everything.

He pulled back, and she opened her eyes. Those gorgeous green eyes of his were staring at her, searching her expression, looking so damn vulnerable and adorable it made her knees weak.
“Should I stop?” he breathed, his voice rough, his breath labored.
Her own breath caught in her throat. She should say yes. She knew it. It was the practical thing to do. But she couldn’t pull away.
She whispered, “Don’t you dare.”

Kiru Taye - KEEPING SECRETS
A story of secrets, betrayals and love. Keeping Secret will grip you from the start.

"Go home. Get plenty of rest. Prepare yourself for me." He nibbled her soft lips. "We have a lot of catching up to do, starting with our wedding night."

Elizabeth Rose - SAVING SIMON
Safety Officer of the Seduction of the Sea cruise ship, Simon Taylor, saves Piper Westbrook's life when she falls off the ship during a storm. But when he returns home to Sweet Water, Michigan, he finds the same woman trying to close down the town's marina that he someday hopes to buy.

(The Taylor Twelve: Sons of a preacher but far from saints, these men are nothing but trouble.)
His mouth came closer and she lifted her chin and closed her eyes, anticipating feeling those strong but soft lips caressing hers again, but this time not in an act of saving her life. This time, in an act of passion. Then their lips met and she felt as if magic had passed through her body. His kiss was bold, yet gentle at the same time. He tasted of power, challenge, and the sea.

Jenna Allen - DESIRE RENEWED
The daring lives of husbands and wives.

His big, work callused hands encircled my waist as he pulled me to him; his mouth on mine, hot and insistent. Trevor’s scent, an intoxicating mix of the outdoors and pure masculinity wafted through me and I relented, allowing full access to my lips, tongue, and mouth. When I was nearly out of breath, he broke away, grinning.
"Good girl."

Rae Lori - RIO SUNRISE
After landing the photography job of a lifetime, Jayla Mitchelson gets more than she bargained for when wealthy business mogul, Eric Jansen, asks her for a special favor.

"Just move with me." He was lost in the soft, flowery scent of her hair and skin. No one else remained, but the piano player setting the mood for their bodies to fall into rhythmic motion as he held her.
"Eric..."
His name so soft and with such urgency on her lips made his body heat with desire. If he had his way, he would hold on to Jayla for as long fate allowed.

Theresa Troutman - MY SECRET SUMMER
Dylan helps Caitlin deal with her grief and awakens her sexuality. These two misfits fall in love, while trying to keep their relationship a secret from Caitlin’s parents.
