Summary

This “delicious, sensual mystery” explores the dangerous psychological intensity between an intellectual, inhibited husband and his free-spirited wife (USA Today).   John Chambers is lying in bed, waiting for his wife to come home from a mysterious errand. Before he married Clara, he devoted himself to Nietzsche and classical music, was intensely cerebral, and so attracted to self-denial that he even went through periods of refusing to speak and abstaining from sex. But now he has lost himself in this wild, impulsive woman—and he is passionately awaiting her return.   As evening passes into night, he reflects on the bond between them, experiences a bizarre Chinese-food delivery—and dips into Clara’s exceedingly candid diary—in “one of the most uninhibited and intensely sexy novels to appear in some time,” an erotically suspenseful tale that “exerts an almost hypnotic attraction” (Publishers Weekly, starred review).
Available since: 01/06/1995.
Print length: 304 pages.

    She's the one woman who can get his ball back in play… Deuces Wild, Book 1. For a while, MLB pitcher Chase Deuce Dixon used his bad-boy reputation as a smoke screen to cover up his elbow injury. But plummeting pitching stats don’t lie, so now he’s a free agent, spending the off-season in surgeons’ offices, and considering a post-baseball career in security. His first night moonlighting as a nightclub bouncer, he’s surprised that the singer on stage is his little sister’s pure, sweet, spitfire of a best friend. And some drunk guy is getting way too personal. Summer Maitland doesn’t need Chase strong-arming one of the few fans she’s managed to accumulate during the career she keeps secret from her family. And despite her body’s shimmering reaction to his touch, she certainly doesn’t need a self-appointed bodyguard following her around. Chase has other ideas. If anyone’s going to lay a hand on Summer, it’s going to be him. Now if only he could keep his tongue out of her mouth long enough to keep her safe. And his hands to himself before he scares her off. Warning: Contains an ace hurler moonlighting as a bouncer moonlighting as a bodyguard, and an angel-voiced chanteuse who’s up for anything he can throw at her—in and out of the bedroom. This one could make you rethink the definition of fastball.

    A billionaire for Christmas… tied up in a bow. Billionaires in Bondage, Book 3. The Recluse: Ever since his parents died in a holiday car accident, Harvey Caine has shut himself away with his lingering injuries and his guilt, hating Christmas more with each passing year. Clinging to the one obsession that keeps him alive—wrest control of Caine Enterprises from his aunt. When his longtime friend mentions a niece who needs a job and a roof over her head for a few days, Harvey agrees, figuring his mansion is large enough to ignore her. The Maid: Professional BDSM Mistress Kelsey Marley doesn’t do “ignored”. She’s been hired to do what she does best—push the billionaire’s buttons until his defenses crack. The paycheck will buy her dream of owning her own bar. The Figgy Pudding Thickens: As Kelsey administers the discipline Harvey needs to release his pain, she realizes too late they’re getting too close, too fast. If he finds out she’s been bought and paid for, this holiday might go down in his ledger as a big fat loss for them both. Warning: Contains a wounded hero who never backs down from a challenge, and a badass mistress who doesn’t flinch from his scars, laughs in the face of his temper tantrums, and has no problem administering a much-needed spanking.
