Little Known Favorites Meme

Damn Karen for posting this on her blog. Sigh. I can't resist a good meme.

Sean didn’t plan for the elevator to break down, but he’s not going to waste time wondering what happened. He’ll take advantage of it, because his return is no coincidence. He wants Chloe back and will do whatever it takes to convince her to let him back in her life.

Midnight Rose By Shelby Reed
By all appearances, wealthy widower Gideon Renaud is an attractive, vibrant man, and an attentive father to his son, Jude, who suffers from a rare disorder that renders him fatally allergic to sunlight. But Gideon has harbored a bloodstained secret for one hundred fifty years—he's a vampire. When he finds himself falling for Kate O'Brien, his son's new home-school tutor, only Gideon knows their passion is a time bomb, one that will end in heartbreak…and possibly death for the young teacher.

As Kate finds herself drawn into Gideon and Jude's sinister world, she is forced to confront their extraordinary reality, the existence of the most horrifying evil…and ultimately, the power of love to banish even the darkest shadows.








Dance - Dance of the Seven Veils By Cris Anson
Book 1 in the Dance series.

Robbed of her self-esteem during a loveless marriage, recently divorced Lyssa Markham allows her best friend to drag her, costumed as Salome, to a masquerade. She's shocked then intrigued to discover the participants are members of an exclusive sex club. Hiding behind her mask, she permits her long-submerged sensual side to re-emerge as erotic sights and sounds bombard her. Seeing a darkly sexy gladiator inspires her to dance for him, seductively removing one veil at a time until she falls naked into his hot embrace.

Days later, she learns her ex has neglected to fulfill an urgent financial stipulation in the divorce decree. Unable to reach him, she storms into his lawyer's office to resolve the problem and comes face to face with her gladiator. His first words, "Lift up your skirt…Salome."

Robert Savidge is everything a woman could want—rich, handsome, successful. Should she obey her impulse and run from him? Or can Lyssa find the courage to explore her nascent sensuality with this man who so obviously wants to teach her?


His Christmas Cara By Shiloh Walker
His name was Eben Marley…Ebenezer, to be exact, and for the longest time, he'd lived exactly as the famous scrooge from the old Christmas story. Well, almost exactly. Eben had two great loves, making money and making love to women.

He did little more than work, and take as many women as he could, trying to forget the one woman who'd walked away from him. Then Eben met someone who was finally able to break through the ice around his heart. As he spent a long, sensuous night loving her sweet body and staring into her soft green eyes, he became frightened of the emotions she aroused in him. So he cruelly pushed her away.

Eben's life has been empty since that long-ago night, though the woman often haunts his dreams. On Christmas Eve, an accidental encounter brings it all rushing back. With the bitter taste of loneliness and regret riding him hard, Eben comes face to face with three determined…spirits? Turns out the Ebenezer of old was in fact a real man, and if Eben wants to avoid the hollow future that these spirits point out to him, he's going to have to look deep inside his heart…and hope that the woman he pushed away can forgive him.


Body and Soul - Pesky Paranormals By Tawny Taylor
Book 1 in the Body & Soul series.

Stephanie Burbank is your typical twenty-something divorcee with a very atypical problem. Thanks to her ex-husband, who seems to have forgotten that not only are they divorced but he's also…dead…she doesn't dare go on a date. Thanks to Jeremy, fiery passion takes on a whole new meaning…

Rafe Hammond is not your typical bachelor. He has a secret too, which has been like a bucket of icy water on his lusty love life, but when his sexy neighbor puts the moves on him, he's unable to resist and to hell with the consequences!

A little ingenuity is all they'll need—both inside the bedroom and out—to outsmart the pesky phantoms so they can cool their blazing lust. It's a battle of the elements as spirits collide and two people who haven't had a ghost of a chance at love until now give it a shot, risking more than just bodily harm.





Nothing Personal By Elisa Adams
If you had any kind of a life at all, you wouldn't be hanging out in your laundry room at nearly ten on Friday night—alone. For Carla, her mother's voice inside her head rings a little too true. The reason she's dateless yet again can be summed up in two words—Leo Spencer. But he's off limits. Not only is he ten years younger—just out of college, for crying out loud—he's also her best friend's younger brother. Getting involved with Leo would be a mistake. But it would be so nice to run her fingers through his dark hair…

Carla has been a key participant in Leo's…ahem…steamier fantasies for years, but she's always treated him like a kid brother. Good thing Leo welcomes a challenge, because coaxing Carla into bed might be the biggest one he's ever faced.





Destiny Robinson desperately needs a date for a big night but the last person she expects when she calls an escort service is her son's best friend. Bobby Magee has been marking time. When Destiny's call comes to his business, he grabs the opportunity to go after the woman he's loved from afar for years...
