Romance Erotica Sensual

Prepare for some hot, sexy fun as these three authors bring their attitudes and pens to these stories about hunks PLAYING EASY TO GET.

Kenyon's story, TURN UP THE HEAT, finds Allison George winning a trip to Sex Camp. It's a chance for her to stretch out of her average, boring life and have some fun. But of course, nothing goes as planned and Allison finds herself on the run with Vince Cappelleti, a real-life badboy.

Black takes us to HUNTER'S OATH, an out-of-this-world story about Sofia Rowley, who travels to the Arctic Circle upon hearing of the death of her brother, an Army officer. There, she's kidnapped and taken to an underground world where Vikings rule. She's auctioned off as a bride and expected to stay there, happily. It goes against the grain for any modern woman to accept such a fate, but Sofia has to admit that her new husband, Johen, is quite a man.

In Cole's story, THE WARLORD WANTS FOREVER, the reader is transported to a world of vampires and Valkyrie seductresses. Nikolai Wroth, a vampire warlord, has been searching for his bride, only to find that she could be Myst the Coveted, a Valkyrie who likes to fight and refuses domination. Myst is concerned only with her freedom and has grown up hating vampires. Can these two find their way past all the people who stand between them?

This sexy anthology is suited to those who like a mystical approach to their love stories. It's a fun -- and stimulating! -- way to spend an evening.

SUMMARY

New York Times bestselling author Sherrilyn Kenyon and rising stars Jaid Black and Kresley Cole unlock the pleasures and perils of embracing the boldest and most powerful of lovers -- 100% alpha males -- in three sensually erotic tales. Discover the physical rapture of his muscular arms.... Become a prisoner of passion, swept away by an encounter with his primal side.... And get lost in the all-consuming thrill of white-hot pursuit by a relentless stranger who may be your most dangerous foe, the best lover you've ever had -- or both. Let your fantasies run wild with these unforgettable novellas where bigger is most definitely better -- and playing easy-to-get is the only way to go! β€œThe Warlord Wants Forever” by: Kresley Cole Nikolai Wroth, once a ruthless human warlord in the 1600s and now a general in the rebel vampire army, needs to find his Bride, the one woman who can render him truly alive. As a turned human, he doesn’t enjoy a heartbeat or breaths and is consequently weaker than natural born vampires. He wants his Bride for the power she will bring him and can hardly believe it when his heart beats for Myst the Coveted, a mad, fey, mythological creature. Myst is known throughout the world as the most beautiful Valkyrie, part chillingly fierce warrior, part beguiling seductress who can β€œmake you want her even as she’s killing you.” She has devoted her life to protecting an ancient, powerful jewel and to fighting the vampires, and she now sees a way to torment oneβ€”for with Wroth’s heartbeat comes consuming sexual desire that can only be slaked by her. She eludes him for five years, but he has finally chased her to ground and stolen the jewel which commands her, giving him absolute power over her. While he possesses it, he can make her do anything, and he plans to in order for her to experience first hand the agonizing, unending lust she’d purposely, boastingly, subjected him to for half a decade. Yet when Wroth realizes he wants her love and frees her, will she come back to him?
