Annabelle Elder's life is just the way she wants it quiet and unassuming, the past taught her a valuable lesson about keeping a low profile. However anyone who collects erotic art is not going to be happy living like this. Attending a New Year's Eve party with her best friend, Annabelle decides to have some fun since she is wearing a mask.

Jared Golden part owner of the hotel where the party is held takes one look at Annabelle's necklace and knows he must get it from her, it is a family heirloom that's been missing for years. What Jared doesn't count on is how much he wants Annabelle.

Jared's hotel is no ordinary hotel, a special invitation gets you invited to the pleasure palace where every hedonistic pleasure can be had. Annabelle surprises Jared with her willingness to participate in whatever lustful pursuit he suggests. One night together turns into more than just sex but the morning is ruined after Annabelle learns the real reason Jared pursued her. The only saving grace for her is that she held onto her anonymity. Knowing he messed up with the only woman who has him wishing for more than a one night stand, Jared does whatever it takes to find this elusive woman of mystery. What neither knows is that the past and the present will intersect in such a way that it may destroy their burgeoning love for one another.

BY PRIVATE INVITATION is a sensational erotic romance which pairs a couple I couldn't help but to root for. I like macho heroes who meet their match with a strong independent female who gives as good as she gets. This type of pairing creates a good mixture of friction and fire just what is needed to keep the story moving towards a climatic and satisfying ending. I can't wait to read Tyler's story.
