But, when Big Daddy turns up dead, and the two vacationing young people are left stranded in the desert, Justice Security descends on Carson City to take care of their own, in their own explosive manner!

Sophie DelFino has fantasized about David for over a decade. If only he weren’t so uptight and didn’t have so many rules. Of course, all those rules sure make it fun to push his buttons.

The Giambini crime family has noticed what Jackie can do. And when this desperate crime family decides to kidnap Jackie to be their golden goose, the children hire Joey Justice and Justice Security to rescue her.

Can a notorious rake seduce the ice mistress?

Advisory: This erotic historical romance contains light BDSM elements and submissive training. If you like your heat “wickedly hot” with bad boy rakes, then dare to enter the Cavern of Pleasures…

Married to the unfaithful Earl of Lowry and scorned by her in-laws for not producing an heir for the earldom, Gertrude "Gertie" Farrington takes out her frustrations in the masked underground world of Madame Botreaux's Cavern of Pleasures. Concealing her identity there as 'Lady Athena,' Gertie is a domineering mistress with a peculiar propensity: she never allows a submissive to bring her to climax.

Back from years of exile after a scandalous duel, Lord Phineas Barclay, a notorious rake and seducer of women, becomes instantly intrigued by the Lady Athena on a visit to the Cavern of Pleasures. He poses as a submissive with the intention of seducing the icy mistress and uncovering her true identity.

As the Countess of Lowry, Gertie wants nothing to do with Phineas Barclay - a debaucher at best, and a murderer at worst. So why does she find herself hot and flustered in his presence?

Phineas Barclay finds himself strangely drawn to the Countess, but every step forward with her seems to be followed by a step backward with the Lady Athena. Which woman will he choose to focus his seduction upon - or is it possible to conquer both Lady Athena and the Countess?
