Sinopse

He did not want to be the father of a small blue pyramid. Peter Horn hadn’t planned it that way at all. Neither he nor his wife imagined that such a thing could happen to them. They had talked quietly for days about the birth of their coming child, they had eaten normal foods, slept a great deal, taken in a few shows, and, when it was time for her to fly in the helicopter to the hospital, her husband, Peter Horn, laughed and kissed her. “Honey, you’ll be home in six hours,” he said.

The expected joy that a few days in a different setting can, and most probably will, make is one of life’s most pleasant pleasures.  Usually.  But in this volume our classic authors including John Buchan, Edith Wharton, E M Delafield, M R James and a host of others really do seem to want to make some of those few days of indolent pleasure into something rather unpleasant.

He’s a widower attending a medical conference. She’s a recent divorcee hoping to get her groove back. He’s noticed her before, but this time is different, with an empty ring finger to prove it. Can he convince her they’re meant for more than a week long love affair? 
Jack: I’ve attended this medical office convention before, but this is the first time I’m feeling bold. But I didn’t expect the shy woman I’ve been checking out for the last couple of years to not only be available, but interested in a Vegas fling. Only one week will never be enough for me, but how do I convince her to want more? 
Diane: First time I’m attending this convention this single, and my girlfriend has filled my head with stories about “what happens in Vegas” touting it's time for Diane to get her groove back. She’s right, and when I meet Jack, I’m sure he’s the one I want to have this sexual reawakening with—only nothing about him feels temporary. Can he fall for a woman who propositions him for a no-strings-attached weekend? 
Each book in the series is a complete, standalone story. This is a steamy, short story romance, complete with instalove and a guaranteed happily ever-after. If you're looking for a great lunchtime read, or something to spark sexy dreams before bed, you’ll want to pick this one up.
