Desiree Holt

Allie Standifer

Scorched Kasey Jacobs spends her days as a bookkeeper for a discount furniture store and her nights writing erotic romances, still waiting to meet the man who could ring her chimes. Maybe her new neighbor, Skyler Brody... Too bad she hasn't seen him since the day he moved in. Then Skyler, a cop recuperating from a gunshot wound, spies Kasey pleasuring herself in front of an open window and nearly trips over his tongue rushing to introduce himself. The sex is instantaneous and hot, with all the explosiveness of fireworks. But Kasey wants something Skyler isn't prepared to give. Perhaps they can find a way to each other's heart-if they don't burn themselves out with their nightly erotic activities. Scalded Reed Brody is head of the geek squad for the local police. At work, he's intense and driven; after hours, he can't help but use that same drive in his sex life. Too bad he can't find a woman interested in a few bondage games. Halli Wilson is a quiet coffee shop owner who also hosts sex-toy parties on the side. Too bad she can't find a guy man enough to tie her up and take her down. Halli only bargained for a month. Reed's never wanted forever. Two people determined to keep it light make the biggest mistake of all by falling in love. Signed River Brody knows love exists, but every woman he dates seems to be lacking that special spark. Until he attends an engagement party for his brothers and sees the woman of his dreams. Kendra Jacobs is coming out of a bad relationship. When she sees River, Kendra thinks he may just be the guy to try her new wiles on. As long as she leaves before he does. After spending one memorable night together, River knows he's found the one person he's meant to spend the rest of his life with. However, convincing Kendra proves far from easy. Steamed Kira Jacobs is sick of always being the bridesmaid, never the bride. Sick of dating hot studs who have no more depth than the water in her sink. She's determined to find a lasting meaningful relationship with a mature, suit-wearing man. But her goofy, stay-at-home neighbor sends her all kinds of hot signals. Grant Havers left the high finance rat race after having a heart attack at thirty-eight. He's done with living up to everyone's expectations but his own. It's time to go after what he wants. What he wants most is sexy Kira. He's convinced her to try him out in bed, but she's determined to leave it as sex only.
