because this e-book is going to heat things up… This
anthology has a collection of Ellora's Cave authors sure

KyAnn Water's AFTER DARK introduces Kayla March and
Alandro Blackwood. Destined to be together, but torn
apart by the cruel act of a vampire slayer, Kayla and
Alandro have been subconsciously seeking each other for
years. When Kayla receives official documents showing
her divorce is over, she decides to visit a popular
club, After Dark, in the hopes of finding a man to
celebrate. When Alandro discovers that it is still
possible to claim Kayla for his mate, he decides to
pursue her, and After Dark is the perfect place to do
so. What begins as a mild flirtation becomes much, much
more.
In FROM THE SEA, by Maxie Cooper, Kelli meets Shawn, and
the attraction is instantaneous. Shawn's apparent
appearance from the depths of the sea is baffling, but
Kelli is much more confused by the longing she feels for
both Shawn and the sea. Time is short, and Kelli will
have to decide if she and Shawn are worth facing her
greatest fear.
Rebecca Airies takes readers to a futuristic world in
LADY'S CHOICE. Kyna Deacon is busily unloading supplies
in the kitchen of a base on an uncolonized world, and
she is interrupted by both a power failure and two
commanding officers. They all work on a joint colony
between the Calazi and Laurati people, and Kyna is
intrigued by the Calazi social structure. When Commander
Finn Tarn and Commander Drace Amon approach her about a
potential place in their social structure, Kyna is
intrigued and interested.
Natasha Moore takes readers on a surreal and sexy
journey in SUNRISE. Told from the point of view of a
heartbroken woman, SUNRISE focuses on a single night in
Caroline's life. Caroline's desire to maintain the
status quo with Alan causes them to take risk their
relationship for something greater than what they
already have.
In SURRENDER DOROTHY, Anna J. Evans brings together an
unlikely Tin Man and a costume designer in a fight
against a group of evil witches. When the Tin Man, a.k.a
Mackenzie Fellows, takes Gelsey away from a rehearsal of
The Wizard of Oz and plops her in a protective circle,
Gelsey knows she's not in Kansas anymore. With help from
a few friends and some powerful magic, Gelsey and Mac
may be able to defeat the evil witches, but the
sacrifice may be more than Gelsey is willing to make.
Samantha Kane wraps up the sexy anthology with THE
DEBUTANTE. Dominic, Viscount Lethbridge, sees Clarissa
Welliston hiding in the trees instead of dancing in the
ballroom; he knows she is worth learning more about.
Enlisting the help of his best friend, Jeremy Benford,
Dom systematically pursues Clarissa. When Dom's
unexpected interest blossoms into a full-out courtship,
Clari allows herself to be seduced wooed into an
unexpected arrangement.
