Talia Montforte has been caring for her ill mother for
years. There is no way she could have afforded her top
notch care if not for Prince Alexander "Xander" Carrera.
Years ago Xander offered to pay for Talia's mothers care in
return for her promise that one day when he calls she will
come to him. Talia is a devoted daughter, kind hearted,
sweet and innocent in every way; she just completed her
degree and at this point in her life about to begin a
career.
Xander is an exiled prince who fights for his country and
hopes to one day bring peace to his homeland. In addition
to his courage and honor, Xander has an extreme sexual side
to him. Xander has been waiting years for Talia to be ready
for him but with her finishing at the university he fears
it must be now or never. Unfortunately his country is still
in chaos and it isn't the best time for her to come to him
but Xander can't lose her so, he tells his three closest
friends and personal guards it's time and to bring her to
them.
CHERISHED brings two bestselling authors together for one
decadent anthology. Maya Bank's Exiled is a steamy tropical
novella of chaste Talia and the delectable Prince Xander;
while Lauren Dane's Sway is a sensual indulgence with the
sophisticated Levi and a passionate Daisy.
Levi Warner is a
successful gentleman who stumbles into the wrong classroom
while looking for the dance class his soon to be sister in
law has insisted he take. Daisy Huerta is a youthful exotic
artist who is partnered up with him. Levi isn't looking for
a relationship and the things he wants to do with a woman
would make a grown woman blush. Daisy isn't looking for a
relationship either and the way Levi makes her want to drop
to her knees and say, yes sir shock her.
CHERISHED is a remarkable anthology. Banks and Dane are at
their best. In Bank's Exiled she brings fascinating
characters and deep dark fantasies to life on the page. I
was left breathless from the passion and love just as much
as I was from the forbidden sexual acts. In Dane's novella
Sway my heart was captured first thing and had me rooting
for their happily-ever-after while their sexual
explorations incited my own fantasies. I recommend
CHERISHED
to those who enjoy erotic novels with heart and soul.
Here's hoping Banks and Dane collaborate together again
soon.
Two all-new novellas that cross the boundaries of desire.
Exiled by Maya Banks…Enticed to the island paradise where an
enigmatic prince is living in exile, beautiful, virginal
Talia is introduced to a world of forbidden pleasure where
the prince’s every whim is fulfilled and her fantasies are
rendered in exquisite detail. But when the prince is
summoned back to fulfill his duty to his struggling country,
reality is thrust upon Talia all too soon. She returns home,
heartbroken, convinced she was a passing fancy for an idle
ruler and his most trusted men. Until the day they arrive on
her doorstep, determined to have her back where she belongs.
Sway by Lauren Dane…Levi Warner is an established, older
man—wealthy, powerful, and above all, respectable. Then Levi
meets Daisy, an uninhibited 24-year-old dance instructor and
artist, not exactly the kind of woman Levi is accustomed to.
But the young, free spirit, brings out something in him he
only experienced in fantasies. When their scorching affair
turns into something unexpectedly deeper, Levi finds himself
torn between preserving his reputation, and exploring a
wilder and much more satisfying kind of life.
