At the betrothal ball of the man she had expected to marry herself, Lady Theresa latches on to the most dashing gentleman present, hoping to divert attention from her own humiliation. That gentleman happens to be her father's distant cousin and heir, Damian Ashby, a useless London fribble, in her opinion. He is not favorably impressed with her either.
But when her father becomes mortally ill and Damian is unwillingly obligated to spend time with her at the Earl's country estate, the two of them unexpectedly find admirable qualities in each other and discover a mutual attraction.
But can a London swell and a country lady ever make their diverse lives and interests work together?
Ascending Hearts by Keira Andrews and Leta Blake (male/male novella)
Part of the Tempting Tales series.

No sane man would dare risk the climb — but Jack has nothing left to lose. Shunned for his evil red hair and abandoned by his cruel lover, he's desperate to escape his life.

After a blazing confrontation, undeniable lust sparks. Isolated in the clouds, Jack and Rion give in to their desire and growing connection.

Full Throttle Yearning, Aurora Rose Lynn (romantic suspense short novel)
When a biker chick cuts him off in traffic then parks in his spot at the courthouse, lawyer Charlie Vernon is hot under the collar — and it has more to do with her perfectly shaped backside, clad in black leather, than the sultry California heat. When he meets her later at a diner, pretty in pink, Charlie discovers she's a woman with a secret — and he'll do anything to keep her safe.
Hiding her true identity, Roxanne Abernathy doesn't do men in expensive silk suits who are richer than sin. Charlie Vernon is cool, good-looking and wealthy — a bad, bad combination in her mind. But Roxie has a problem. A madman intent on killing her is on the loose and Charlie is the only man who can help. And she doesn't know what she wants more from him — justice or lust.
Deadly Attraction, Calista Fox (paranormal, super-plus novel)
He conquered a world in decline, then set his sights on the raven-haired object of his desire …
Eight years of tormenting sexual yearning have left the Demon King Darien with a burning need to claim the one woman whose allure he can't escape. Yet his first erotic encounter with Jade — a human from the village that lies in the shadow of his vast kingdom — leaves the powerful, immortal king in the vulnerable position of wanting to give his mortal bedmate more than just physical pleasure.
Jade has never known sexual bliss until the Demon King takes her, again and again. Yet she is fiercely loyal to her kind, and her forbidden interludes with Darien leave her facing a fiery, potentially deadly attraction as tension between the humans and demons ignite once more. There is no debate when it comes to choosing sides — and their love may not be able to conquer all.
Art of Desire, Helena Harker (Exotika quickie)
Exotika stories focus on a sexual journey or adventure. Although they may contain a romance, they do not have to include that as the primary focus; the relationship does not need to be monogamous or end with commitment.
When Jenna runs into a former student she used to have a crush on, she decides to make her lusty fantasies a reality. Justin is studying fine arts in university, and when he asks Jenna to pose nude for a sculpture, her inner cougar tells her to go for it. But while Jenna can't wait to teach him how to pleasure an older woman, Justin turns the tables and decides to teach her the art of patience.
Bossing the Boss, Piper Trace (BDSM quickie)
Lauren is wound as tight as a spring—stingy with her praise, her emotions and her heart. The youngest VP of sales in the firm's history, she's far too busy to attend the office party, which means when her sleeve is caught in the shredder, she's trapped, vulnerable, in the deserted offices.
Her best salesman, the handsome and charismatic Rob, has a secret — he's a dominant and hasn't been able to find the right submissive to satisfy his insatiable needs. When he rounds the corner of the file room and finds his stuck-up and domineering boss bound and helpless in a provocative position, he can't help his body's natural and intense reaction.
Lauren is always in charge. She could never be a submissive. And yet Rob's words and touch make her yearn to submit. And Rob wants nothing more than to show Lauren exactly who's boss.
Paint Job, Gail Bridges (Exotika ménage quickie)

She has no idea how deluxe her experience will turn out to be.
Saucy seductress Leena and her artist partner Randall want to use Gabby's body as a canvas … but that's not all. As their brushes transform her flesh, their touches mark her soul. After their lessons in the art of love, Gabby's left panting for her next Paintini.

Tim has never met anyone quite like Catherine. Exotic, elegant, earthy, she's the best of all worlds. Their evenings are sensual delights where voyeurism, bondage and a growing bond satisfy carnal needs and stir something deep within — until he stumbles upon the truth.
