Author Description

***Call It Destiny*** - Jayne Ann Krentz Beautiful impetuous Heather Strand had big plans for running the family's Tucson resort. And one in particular was quite unorthodox. She wanted a marriage of convenience with devilishly handsome Jake Lavender, her father's right-hand man! A prenuptial contract spelled out all the details - or so Heather thought. But it didn't cover passion, something she felt when Jake's hot velvet mouth descended on hers. Nor did it mention desire, which is what coursed through her body as they hungrily made love... ***Velvet Touch*** - Stephanie James Tawny, elegant Lacey Seldon was determined to cut loose from her librarian past and find liberation in the Northwest. An island paradise in Puget Sound seemed the perfect place to begin...until she met Holt Randolph. Holt was unlike any man she'd ever met. His touch made her hunger for a release she'd never known. But he said he didn't want half a heart and challenged her to gamble it all in a blazing affair that would bring her to her senses - and into his arms. ***Heartland*** - Sherryl Woods Long after Steven Drake had left, he still haunted Lara Danvers's dreams. Now he was back, offering to buy part of the farm Lara had fought so hard to keep. She'd never forget how he'd seduced her as a teenager to get her land - there was no way she'd let him back into her life! When Steven saw Lara again, memories of their passion came flooding back. He'd left her because of her youth, but now she was a woman ready for the loving he'd waited years to give... If only she would listen to the truth and let him back into her heart. ***Soul Mates*** - Candace Schuler Everything except a fan belt for her Mercedes! Stranded in the Arizona desert under a scorching sun, Victoria Dillon had to rely on a handsome stranger for help. Long and lean and much too patronizing, John Redcloud took care of her "little" problem with his big, strong hands. Victoria's second problem posed a far greater challenge. John considered her a city woman, bred to luxury. Not someone who belonged on a Navaho reservation. She intended to prove she was more than enough woman for him - on any turf! ***Designing Woman*** - Candace Schuler (The Heart of the City, #2) Starting an affair with your ex-husband was a little unorthodox, Daphne Granger admitted. But she had never stopped loving Adam since their divorce eleven years earlier. Meeting him now after all this time brought back the memories - and all the old feelings. Daphne saw the hunger in his gaze, felt the desire in his touch...and found herself responding. Yes, a simple affair was the answer, she thought. It would get him out of her system for good...
