Vol. 1: Arabian Pearl,
The Bloodstone Affair, and Initiating
Christian.
In Arabian Pearl, the guest of a foreign
prince, Lord Grayson finds an English jewel dropped in his
lap when he is gifted a beautiful bedmate. Celia Davenport
discovers that perhaps sexual servitude isn't the prison
she imagined. A plaything of an Infidel lord, she has a
chance of escape if only she pleases him. In
The Bloodstone Affair,
an infamous ghost hunter travels to the
most haunted house in England to rescue the woman of his
dreams and encounters an evil secret that refuses to die.
In Initiating Christian,
the younger Christian Foster has fallen in love with the
scandal-shy, unattainable Lauren DeSerre. When Lauren
discovers the deliciously handsome brother of her former
lover has a penchant for her, the temptation of initiating
Christian might lure her astray.

Vol. 2: In a Reckless
Moment, A Most Scandalous Position, and
Beautiful Assassin
In In a Reckless Moment,
Cassandra
Rollins is innocent and sheltered. Ross Benson is
quite the opposite. Though she knows better than to
surrender to his persuasive charm, things just could not
have gone more wrong in a reckless moment.
In A Most Scandalous Position, Colin Maxim
knows it is his duty to take an injured young woman into
his care, especially since he is the one who saved her
life. What he doesn't count on is the mystery that
surrounds Catherine, and very suddenly he finds himself
immersed in both scandal and grave danger. In
Beautiful Assassin, it isn't enough that he is
attacked by a furious young woman in the middle of the
night, but someone is apparently out there using his
identity. Jonas Maxim knows that besides his beautiful
would be assassin, he has a vested interest in discovering
the villain. If only he can stay alive long enough to find
the blasted man.

EXCERPT
Initiating Christian
The townhouse was fashionably elegant, but on a
quiet street, and the place had the air of being unoccupied.
Except for that small yellow glow that indicated
someone was there.
Shaking his head, Christian climbed the steps and
tried the key. It worked perfectly, the latch clicking open
neatly, and the door swung open on well-oiled hinges. Inside,
the place smelled slightly musty, as if it was unlived in, and
he stepped into the foyer.
“Hello?”
His voice echoed a little and he cleared his
throat and tried again. “Hello?”
Nothing.
Bloody Adam, Christian thought irritably. If his
older brother thought this was funny…
“Christian?”
He froze. The voice was light, melodic, and
unmistakably female, and it came from behind him. Whirling
around, he saw that a woman stood framed in the doorway. The
evening was warm and she wore her wrap only loosely around her
slender shapely shoulders. Her gown was low-cut and elegant, and
her lustrous blond hair caught in a loose chignon at her nape.
Dark blue eyes framed by lush lashes gazed at him, and as he
watched in utter astonishment, she stepped inside and quietly
closed the door behind her.
“I see we arrived about the same time. That’s
convenient, I suppose.”
His mind was a blank. Lauren DeSerre appearing
out of nowhere was such a shock he literally had no voice.
When he didn’t speak, her smooth brow furrowed
slightly. “Adam rather assured me you would be happy to see me
here. If that isn’t the case…”
Cognizant thought returned, and with it at least
a sense of politeness. “Of course, I am delighted to see you,”
he stammered, sounding to his own ears like an idiot. He
swallowed and said more calmly, “Forgive me. All my brother did
was hand me a card with this address on it. When I arrived to
find an empty house, I wondered if Adam had decided to play a
joke on me.” He paused, gazing at her and taking in her stunning
beauty. “I confess I’m still not certain that isn’t the case,”
he added quietly. “Why are you here?”
She blushed then, color rising becomingly to her
cheeks. “He didn’t tell you?”
Christian shook his head. God, she is so
beautiful…those eyes, slightly almond shaped and
gorgeous, and her skin, so smooth like ivory, and that body…
“I’m told it’s your birthday.”
What that had to with anything he wasn’t sure,
but he was truthfully too off balance by her arrival to think
quite clearly. “Yes, it is,” he admitted, well-aware she
probably still viewed him as a boy, and not a man.
Lauren smiled then, a small enticing curve of her
soft mouth that made his pulse increase the pace. “I thought we
might celebrate it together here tonight.”
Of all the things he expected her to say, that
was the last. Speechless again, he just stood there, telling
himself he must have a fever and be hallucinating. Maybe he was
asleep, and this was a fantastical dream…
“Upstairs,” she added simply.
Upstairs. Where there are bedrooms.
“You aren’t serious.” He didn’t even sound
remotely like himself and he cleared his throat. Hastily, he
amended, “I mean, I hope you are, but I can’t quite believe
this.”
She moved for the first time, taking a slow step
toward him. “I take it the idea appeals to you?”
He might be young, but he caught the sense of her
female power and her awareness of it. Catching the faint
fragrance of her perfume drift in the air, he nodded. “Yes.”
It was embarrassing, but he already was well on
his way to having a full-blown erection. That fast, just from a
few suggestive words and a whiff of her signature scent.
“I know about the flowers you have been sending
me.” Her tone was soft. “Your notes were very…endearing. Thank
you.”
“You are welcome, of course.” If Adam hadn’t
apparently arranged this, Christian would want to kill him for
telling her.
“Your brother owns this house as an investment of
some sort,” she said, glancing down the darkened hallway. “It’s
unoccupied at the moment, but he did send someone to prepare one
of the bedrooms.” She smiled almost mischievously. “I certainly
hope there’s champagne so we can toast your special day.”
Christian didn’t give a damn about his birthday.
He just hoped he wouldn’t wake up from this particular fantasy.
She gazed up at him expectantly and he automatically offered his
arm, something he’d done hundreds of times when escorting ladies
various places, but the light clasp of Lauren’s fingers sent
heat spiking through his body.
His cock stiffened further.
There was a set of stairs at the end of the
hallway, and at the top, he discovered the source of the light
came from a well-lit and spacious bedroom. The bed was made up
in satin sheets and an embroidered coverlet already neatly
turned back in invitation for occupation. There was not only
champagne in a bucket of cool water, but also chocolates, and
some fresh strawberries, almost impossible to obtain this time
of year, in a small silver bowl. It was a nice gesture, as Adam
knew he particularly favored strawberries, but how his brother
thought any kind of food would matter when Lauren DeSerre
apparently wanted to spend the night with him was a mystery.
