Sometimes, you just have to...ASK FOR IT    England, 1770.  Beneath the silk and lace of London society lies a secret, elite organization of spies.  Protecting the Crown from its enemies is hazardous, but for Marcus Ashford, protecting his heart from an unyielding passion is the far greater peril.... A MATTER OF DANGEROUS INTRIGUE... As an agent to the Crown, Marcus Ashford, the Earl of Westfield, has fought numerous sword fights, been shot twice, and dodged more than any man's fair share of cannon fire.  And yet nothing excites him more than the primitive hunger his former fiancé, Elizabeth, arouses.  Years ago, she'd jilted him for the boyishly charming Lord Hawthorne.  But now, the elegant widow is his to defend, and he will do so while tending to her other, more carnal needs, showing her the depth of a real man's desire.... ...AND UNDENIABLE PLEASURE Dangerous secrets led to the murder of Lady Hawthorne's husband.  Secrets she now holds in a diary many would kill to obtain.  But to entrust herself to the protection of the most seductive man she's ever known?  Outrageous.  Unthinkable.  Irresistible.  For it was Marcus's strong passions and burning desire that frightened her into abandoning him years ago -- and her answering craving has never waned.  Now, he means to be at her service, in every sense.  And perhaps the only sensible course isn't to resist temptation, but to surrender to it completely....

Where do you run to when your life has fallen apart? Lucy Jorik is a champ at never embarrassing the family she adores -- not surprising since her mother is one of the most famous women in the world. But now Lucy has done just that. And on her wedding day, no less, to the most perfect man she's ever known. Instead of saying "I do" to Mr. Irresistible, Lucy flees the church in an ill-fitting blue choir robe and hitches a ride on the back of a beat-up motorcycle plastered with offensive bumper stickers. She's flying into the unknown with a rough-looking, bad-tempered stranger who couldn't be more foreign to her privileged existence. While the world searches for her, Lucy must search for herself, and she quickly realizes that her customary good manners are no defense against a man who's raised rudeness to an art form. Lucy needs to toughen up -- and fast. Her great escape takes her to his rambling beach house on a Great Lakes island. Here, she hopes to find a new direction . . . and unlock the secrets of this man who knows so much about her but reveals nothing about himself. As the hot summer days unfold amid scented breezes and sudden storms, she'll also encounter a beautiful, troubled beekeeper; a frightened young boy; a modern-day evil queen; and a passion that could change her life forever. In this dazzling follow-up to her New York Times bestseller Call Me Irresistible, Susan Elizabeth Phillips tells the funny, touching, enchanting story of a young woman searching for her destiny . . . and of a damaged man who doesn't believe in second chances.

My name is Gin, and I kill people. They call me the Spider. I'm the most feared assassin in the South -- when I'm not busy at the Pork Pit cooking up the best barbecue in Ashland. As a Stone elemental, I can hear everything from the whispers of the gravel beneath my feet to the vibrations of the soaring Appalachian Mountains above me. My Ice magic also comes in handy for making the occasional knife. But I don't use my powers on the job unless I absolutely have to. Call it professional pride.  Now that a ruthless Air elemental has double-crossed me and killed my handler, I'm out for revenge. And I'll exterminate anyone who gets in my way -- good or bad. I may look hot, but I'm still one of the bad guys. Which is why I'm in trouble, since irresistibly rugged Detective Donovan Caine has agreed to help me. The last thing this coldhearted killer needs when I'm battling a magic more powerful than my own is a sexy distraction... especially when Donovan wants me dead just as much as the enemy.

Evangeline Stone is one of the best, known and feared by Dregs all over the city; until she wakes up in the morgue, in a new and recently-dead body, with no short-term memory, and no idea how she died or why she was brought back. Wyatt Truman, a Gifted human and former co-worker, arranged her temporary resurrection. He believes she was murdered for information about a rumored alliance between ruling Vampire Families and the Goblin Hordes--an alliance that could prove devastating to humans and their other supernatural allies. And she only has three days to stop it before she dies again. As she digs deeper into the events leading up to her death and learns the devastating price Wyatt paid for her resurrection, Evy realizes she's fighting for more than human dominance of the paranormal food chain. She's also fighting for both of their souls.

Her job is to make his life miserable. His job is to make her submit. Whose heart will surrender first? Across the country, rebellious BDSM submissives are being systematically kidnapped, one from each club. When her friend falls prey to the slavers, FBI victim specialist Gabrielle volunteers to be bait in a club not yet hit: the Shadowlands. She finds that being a bratty sub comes naturally, especially when she gets to twit the appallingly conservative Master of the trainees. But she soon discovers he’s not as stuffy as she’d thought. Or as mean. She’d expected punishment, even humiliation, but she sure never expected to fall in love with a damned lawyer. Courtesy of a prima donna ex-wife, Marcus loathes disobedient submissives. When the club owner insists he admit an incredibly bratty trainee, he’s furious. But as he comes to know Gabrielle and sees the alluring sweetness beneath the sass, he starts to fall for her. Unfortunately, Marcus isn’t the only one who believes the feisty redhead is a prize worth capturing. And in the world of the slaver, such treasure is worth a hefty fee.
