Bobbie Rutherford discovered on holiday that Jamie MacArthur’s penis did not have a forked end. Despite being confined in a very small tent, with friends camped nearby, they gave it a test-drive or two. She is considering writing erotica again.
Al Sabatini rented out his apartment, and he and Michael moved in with Liz and her children. This has not gone down well with either Michael or The Bastard.
Eloise Thomas received an email from London requesting the rest of Johnno’s book. She ‘accidentally’ deleted it.
Then she answered a phone call from a different publisher in New York, also asking for the rest of Johnno’s book. Sensing a pleasing addition to his woodwork teacher’s salary might be possible after all, she morphed into promotional mode, retrieved the email from her deleted file, and presented Johnno with both options after a good dinner.
Tigger Thomas returned to a chilly UK spring to find Tank Hardy in their bed with his guitarist, Blue Smith. Three months of Tigger’s Amazon checks were mysteriously missing.
Meg Josephs gave up her librarian’s job and now spends four days each week employed at the garden center, and every Monday writing. Ian Haroldson stopped working huge hours and often lazes late in bed with Meg.
Vi Mayberry holidayed for another fortnight with her son and daughter-in-law in Australia. They introduced her to their new neighbor, Tom, and her Standards Slipped Substantially.
Nurse Mandy Nicholson emailed her full manuscript away, hoping it would avoid the publisher’s Spam file. Might be many months before she hears back from them. Or never.
Ben Josephs is bonking his way through university, breaking hearts, and having his own heart broken in return. His girlfriends appreciate Tigger’s rigorous training.
Neill crashed Romy’s car while taking it for a Warrant of Fitness check. Someone called the police and ambulance. His medical records were searched for. Romy finally learned the truth.
Liz McKenzie realized The Bastard did have his good side. She has let Marcy loose on Al.
Dan Carpenter’s grandmother eventually died, leaving him her money. He and Sarah bought a house just outside town where Auric and Miss Sweetie’s barking can’t annoy the neighbors.
Leah Walls and Ric Banks went into partnership in more ways than one. They had no luck finding a Ms. Bloom or Mr. Ponds, but joined forces with John Border when Leah took maternity leave. Banks, Border, and Walls became leading landscapers.
Hugo the Laird was so inspired by his lovely model that his paintings were eventually exhibited at the Royal Scottish Academy in Edinburgh and the Tate in London. Elizabeth’s standard of accommodation and clothing both improved dramatically.
Curtis and Anouska escaped from Cairo and are still in the espionage game.
Sophie spent so much time exploring a willing Ryan that she never wrote a single sentence.

Seduction on the Cards
When journalist Kerri is assigned to interview a seriously rich anti-gambling crusader, she imagines a grandfatherly tycoon with a comb-over. But hunky Alex Beaufort has plenty of hair—and enough of everything else to make her mouth water.
Irrepressible Kerri decides to find out exactly how much, and a sizzling game of strip-poker soon has them both peeling off their layers of self-protection.
Seduction is definitely on the cards—but who’s seducing who? And what are the odds? Good enough to take a chance on?
Warning: contains sexy Frenchman, tropical heat, and enthusiastic outdoor fun and games
Out of Bounds
Jetta Rivers has inherited half a house. Big problem: she has to share it with co-owner Anton Haviland, and her past has left her terrified of men.
Gorgeous Anton is a confident sexy architect, and he might be exactly who Jetta needs to put her crippling fear to rest. But can she allow him near enough? And would he even want to try? A midnight disaster leaves her no option when he drags her off to the only bed left in the now-damaged house.
She’s appalled to find how much she craves the man who plans to smash her inheritance to pieces. Anton is equally shocked when his sharp-tempered housemate attempts to seduce him.
Warning: contains one ambitious man with a tender heart and a body to die for. And one unlikely temptress with an ancient copy of The Joy of Sex.
The Boat Builder’s Bed
A windy day...a flyaway signboard...a hideous crunch. Sophie Calhoun can’t imagine how she’ll pay for the damage to the luxurious car. Already cash-strapped, she’s struggling to launch her new interior design studio and make a home for her daughter. She’s only days away from disaster.
Out of the sleek black Jaguar storms super-yacht tycoon Rafe Severino. Steaming mad. Totally gorgeous. And desperately in need of a top-line decorator for his spectacular new harbor-side mansion.
Sophie fears her dream contract comes with strings that tie her to the boat-builder’s bed. No matter how she tries to escape, he’s always there—implacable and irresistible. She knows he doesn’t want a preoccupied single mother, but concealing her daughter’s existence from the man she’s falling in love with is getting harder and harder. If he discovers her lies, she’ll instantly lose everything.
Warning: contains one determined golden-skinned man who knows his way around boats, bodies and bed-sheets.
Resisting Nick
Nick Sharpe owns a chain of fitness centers. He has money, ambition, and a body honed to perfection, but he’s just discovered he was adopted and never told. To make matters worse, his P.A. has walked out at short notice. His business and personal lives are suddenly in disarray—and then fate hands him Sammie.
Sammie Sherbourne only needs a temporary job until her passport arrives, then she’s off to see the world. The last thing she wants is to become one of Nick’s many conquests. But Nick’s hot and he’s hurting, and Sammie knows she might hold the key to his identity. That’s a lot of temptation for a girl with a tender heart.
Warning: contains sexy games in beds, bathrooms, and on balconies.
The Wrong Sister
Fiona Delaporte has an impossible assignment—to care for her newly widowed brother-in-law and his tiny daughter. (The newly widowed tall, dark and delicious brother-in-law she’s secretly wanted for five long, frustrating years.)
Christian Hartley would rather spend time with anyone except the tempting woman who reminds him so much of his cherished wife. But she has six weeks leave from her cruise-liner job on the other side of the world, and seems determined to do her family duty. How can craving the wrong sister feel so right?
Warning: contains one hot man who always gets what he wants—in bed and out.
Taken by the Sheikh—the first of the ‘Sheikhs of Al Sounam’ series
Abducted. Seduced. Purring. Laurel de Courcey is captured by terrorists, chained up in a disgusting bunker, and videoed for a ransom demand which is shown worldwide. Ooops - wrong hostage! Who’d expect a shy Kiwi nanny to be worth anything?
Laurel’s soon tied up in Sheikh Rafiq’s bed instead, because he rescues her and appoints himself her personal bodyguard. Very personal. But she has good reason to distrust men.
Imprisoned in his old royal hunting lodge deep in the desert ‘for her own protection’, Laurel rebels. Spectacular fireworks, dangerous escape attempts, and an impossible love affair follow.
Warning: contains one red-hot Sheikh with a wicked tongue and unlimited stamina.
