Want a bite?

One sensual bakery
Two misguided hearts.
One taste of passion.

Ally

He's perfection--chiseled and sculpted.
A creation of beauty--that I'd like to taste.
A small morsel of sensual desire.
But a man like Gabe Moreno
Can have any woman he wants,
Not a woman like me.

At least that's what I thought--
What I believed.
But I was wrong.
I had no idea what he was really after
What he really wanted.

Gabe

She's perfection--soft, curvy, and delectable.
A creation of beauty--that I'd like to explore.
One taste and I can't get enough.
But a woman like Allegra Wilson
Deserves so much more than
A man like me.

At least that's what I thought--
What I believed.
But I was wrong.
I had no idea how she could change me.
How she could make me into so much more.

*deals with a heavy subject matter

Vanessa Mazur knows she's doing the right thing. She shouldn't feel bad for quitting. Being an assistant/housekeeper/fairy godmother to the top defensive end in the National Football Organization was always supposed to be temporary. She has plans and none of them include washing extra-large underwear longer than necessary.

But when Aiden Graves shows up at her door wanting her to come back, she's beyond shocked.

What happens in Vegas…
Will Tawera doesn’t do commitment, except on the rugby field. Moving to Las Vegas to become a kicker for the NFL would be a big change from New Zealand rugby, but then, he’s ready for a change. And when he’s asked to do a little modeling on the side? Thousands of dollars to hold a beautiful blonde while looking dark, dangerous, tattooed, and Maori? He could do that.

Faith Goodwin doesn’t do dark, dangerous men. Especially not when they make her laugh, take her miniature golfing with four-year-olds, and are far too sexy and sweet for comfort. But when Will finds himself in hot water back in New Zealand, who’s he going to call? And who would be able to resist answering?

How many orgasms do you think I can give you in thirty minutes?

Okay, so look: I'm not into reality TV. I don't know who Piers Letocci is, or why every girl in America is head over heels for him. I only know that I have to interview Piers about his new show, The Billionaire Dating Game. Fifteen minutes of journalistic duty, and I'm out of there.

Or so I thought.

Piers isn't just some random celebrity. He's the guy I kissed at the coffeeshop last night. Mr. Tall, Dark, and Handsome, who wouldn't tell me his real name when he set my whole body on fire with just one kiss. I never thought I'd see him again, but... there he is, sitting across from me, with that same charming glint in his eye.

I've never believed in soulmates. Piers might just prove me wrong.

Now, I'm not just interviewing him about his show... somehow, I'm on it. And it's up to me to prove that I have what it takes to date a billionaire. If I lose, I may never see Piers again. And if I win...

Oh, God. What if I win?

Maura Anderson was out of options.

Her adopted daughter, three-year-old Katie, is her entire world, and no heartless legal system was going to take her baby away. She did what any mother would do. She grabs Katie and runs.

Sheriff Alan Parks believes in the law, following it and enforcing it to the letter. Then Maura Anderson shows up in his quiet, small town, and he knows she’s running from something. At first, he assumes she’s running from someone – an ex-husband or boyfriend – but when she won’t confide in him he starts wondering. Who is this woman who’s captured his heart, and what or who is she afraid of? When he finds the answers, however, a part of him wishes he’d never asked the question. Because how can he help her when he represents what she’s fleeing . . . the law.

He’s the one I can’t forget. She’s the one I let get away.

But sometimes life gives second chances.

Ashton

I can’t forget Quinn. The dreamy athlete who took my v-card and my heart. My brother’s best friend. Then he left. Like that. It’s been years. And I haven’t seen him since.

Until now.

Quinn

I can’t forget Ashton. My first and only love. Fate turned into an ugly dance partner and tore us apart. And I’m determined to get her back. It’s been years. I haven’t been able to get her to even look at me.

Until now.

And I’ll make it right.

When it comes to love, she's a professional skeptic. Is it too late for a career change?
