EXTREMELY HOT
THE RULES ACCORDING TO IVY YORK:
Ivy York became an accountant because numbers don’t lie and cheat. Too bad the same can’t be said of the men she’s met. Now, as the wildly successful host of the radio show, “The Economic Sex Hex,” she advises women to take control of their money and to spot the bad boys before they get too close. And the ultimate bad boy Sex Hex is the Urban Legend, a man known for lovin’ women (exquisitely) and leavin’ while chasing down stolen property for a hefty fee. No one knows who he really is…but every woman he’s ever pleasured would happily take him back for more… Luke Sterling likes being the Urban Legend almost as much as he likes bringing thieves to justice. And right now, he’s on the trail of two stolen figurines famous for conferring sexual prowess—and the trail leads straight to Ivy. Posing as her personal assistant should be a piece of cake, but Luke didn’t count on Ivy’s own brand of Sex Hex. That good girl game coupled with fierce smarts wrapped around one luscious, curvy body is making him want to prove to Ivy that the Urban Legend more than lives up to his top billing. Suddenly, the hottest show in town isn’t on the air—it’s between the sheets… Read an excerpt of EXTREMELY HOT Buy at Amazon Buy at Barnes and Noble * * * * *

She’s a sharp-tongued, rebel P.I. who eats idiots for breakfast. He’s a sexy book store owner who may or may not be a womanizing killer. Then again, nobody’s perfect… Holly Hillbay is a kick-ass rule breaker with an ‘80’s shoulder pad-sized chip on her sexy shoulder. Want a piece of her? Get in line, pal. Holly loves her job as a P.I. Bringing in pond scum who cheat on their wives makes her day. Like this guy, Wes Brockman, owner of Books on the Beach. Apparently, he’s slipping between the covers with another man’s wife. Joining Wes’s cozy book club is the perfect way to get close to him and expose him for the lying, cheating, pseudo-intellectual creep that he is. He probably wears a turtleneck and a beret. Or not… Problem numero uno: Wes Brockman is one seriously sexy hunk of man who fires up Holly’s dormant libido faster than she can say, “I’ll take this in hardcover.” The guy should come in a home game version. Plus, he’s made it clear that Holly’s in-your-face attitude is a total turn on. Gulp. Holly doesn’t think Wes is having an affair—not yet, at least (note to self: bikini wax…)—but she’s pretty sure the mysterious, dangerous vibe he gives off is no act. He’s hiding something, and she intends to find out exactly what it is…especially when one of the book club members is found dead in the store’s meeting room. Now, with a page opened to secret identities, blackmail, betrayal, murder, and sex on the beach (the drink) and, well, sex on the beach (not the drink), Holly’s into a case that is anything but by-the-book and one that’s riskier, hotter, and more delicious than she ever dreamed possible… Read an Excerpt from THE SEX ON THE BEACH BOOK CLUB Buy at Amazon But at Barnes and Noble * * * * *
Book 5 in the Samantha Shaw Series THRILLED TO DEATH
On the surface, Samantha Shaw’s life looks pretty good—she has a hot boyfriend, private investigator Gabe Pulizzi, and her own business, Heart Mates Dating Service. But raising two boys and keeping track of her ornery magician grandfather is tricky business…especially when you add murder to the mix….
Knocking down the wall between Samantha Shaw’s dating service, Heart Mates, and her boyfriend Gabe Pulizzi’s P.I. office seemed like a good idea. The construction dust is causing chaos, but the real trouble is how Sam’s going to handle her two sons, her grandfather, her business, and training for her P.I. license—and squeeze in a relationship with Gabe at the same time.
She hasn’t even begun to figure it out when her grandfather, Barney Webb, winds up in trouble of his own—he’s been accused by arrogant magician Shane Masters of hiring a hit man to kill him. Sam knows it can’t be true, despite Shane’s practice of exposing other illusionists’ secrets in a series of popular “spoiler” shows. Proving Grandpa’s innocence is priority number one, even though the old man is strangely resistant to her offers to get to the bottom of Shane’s accusation.

If only life came with operating instructions. Samantha Shaw’s dating service, Heart Mates, is barely paying the bills, and her up-and-down relationship with private investigator Gabe Pulizzi isn’t exactly a ringing endorsement of her knack for romance. The last thing she needs is to add murder to the mix…again. Samantha Shaw should have known a sample kit of sex toys would lead to trouble. But when Mitch St. Claire offers the kit to Sam’s friend Angel, who’s launching a lingerie business, the girls think the naughty playthings inside will be good for a laugh. Finding a time to look over the samples in privacy is easier said than done, however. Before the weekend is over, Sam’s wrestled them away from her two inquisitive sons, a fervent romance fan named Zoe Cash has shown up demanding to be introduced to novelist R.V. Logan, whom she’s heard Sam knows—and Angel is missing from her ransacked, bloodstained house. Sam has more important things for Detective Logan Vance—aka R.V. Logan—to do than deal with a lovesick fan, such as finding her best friend. With Gabe in tow, Sam questions Angel’s ex-husband, Hugh Crimson, who admits he and Angel argued two days earlier. Sam knows her friend’s divorce has been filed under “unpleasant” but she can’t believe Hugh’s capable of ex-wife-napping—or murder. If Hugh isn’t a killer, who messed up Angel’s house—and why? Where is Angel? And what’s Sam going to say when Gabe insists she make a decision about their relationship? Solving this case will require every ounce of energy Sam’s got, and she’s going to unearth some high-voltage surprises along the way… Read an Excerpt from BATTERIES REQUIRED Amazon.com: Books: Batteries Required Barnes & Noble.com - Batteries Required

Samantha Shaw was thrilled to give up the soccer mom scene. With her cheating husband dead, a struggling dating service to run, and a brand-new relationship with ex-cop Gabe Pulizzi to figure out, her plate is pretty full. Trouble is, Sam's life has a way of serving up murder... Samantha Shaw hates soccer. A slave to her son's team for too many years to count, she was glad to hand the ball over to a new generation of moms when her life took a few very unexpected turns. But she doesn't have a problem with revenge--especially when it's directed toward cheating ex-husbands. So when Janie Tuggle, the former wife of town hero and championship-winning soccer coach Chad, informs Sam that her ex is embezzling funds from the team coffers, Sam doesn't mind leaving her Heart Mates clients to their own devices while she investigates. A run-in with Chad leaves Sam positive that the weasel is not only cheating the team to the tune of $16,000, but had been cheating on Janie every chance he got. Exposing him will be a pleasure--but before she can make a call, she learns from police detective Logan Vance that Chad's been found dead in his office. And, as usual, Sam is a prime suspect... Of course, so is Janie, and Sam assures her that she'll clear both of their names, with Gabe's help. But to her surprise, her boyfriend and sleuthing partner has clammed up--because he's investigating the case for Dara Reed, the sexy, scantily clad team mom who had been Chad's latest lover. One her own this time, Sam feels a little like a soccer ball herself, bouncing between new and needy Heart Mates clients, the discovery that Chad was a blackmailer, and information that casts sleazy Dara in a whole new light. With Detective Logan breathing down her neck, and Gabe wrapped up in his client's problems, getting to the bottom of Chad's death feels like a long shot. But as another cheating husband's crimes threaten Sam's business, her brand-new relationship, and even her life, she desperately needs to score...
