What’s in
those?”


You have a new client.
Eros has decided all lonely women need a chocolate man of their
own. So he’ll send you the chocolate and a bag of dust with an
address. Put the dust on the statue, mail it overnight to the woman
or man, and money will appear in your account.”


How will I know what each
woman wants?” In retrospect, it was a stupid question.

He took my hand, leading me upstairs. I made
a promise to myself to thank him for coming into my life,
often.

Quarterback Sneak by Desiree Holt

 

Stacy Halligan has spent her adult life
focusing on her career, choosing men with far less care than she
does her professional path. That’s probably the reason all of her
relationships end in disaster. Now she’s senior editor of the
magazine where she works and she was so sure this latest hunk would
be the one. When he dumps her, just before Valentine’s Day, who
does she complain to, as always, but her next door neighbor and
friend, backup quarterback Max Sullivan. She sees Max as her best
friend. Comfortable. Easy to be with.

Max doesn’t mind hanging out with Stacy but in the three years
they’ve lived next door to each other he’s hoped for a lot more.
Now he sees his opening. When he offers to put on a blitz leading
up to Valentine’s Day to make the guy jealous, he has an ulterior
motive. He wants to show her he’s the one she should pick, because
he wants Stacy for himself. His campaign includes, chocolate,
flowers, little gifts and hopefully, really hot sex. Because he’d
been dying forever to get her into his bed and keep her
there.

Will this work? He only has until
Valentine’s Day to find out.

Sweet Sizzle by Jodi Redford

 

Valentine’s Day—the bane of
Rory Sinclair’s existence. Hard to forgive the one holiday
responsible for the single most moronic decision of her life. If it
was up to her, she’d skip anything to do with cupid, but with her
business partner home sick with the flu, she’s stuck delivering a
bunch of cookie bouquets to a local firehouse. Who knows, maybe
she’ll cure her Valentine’s Day neurosis and heat up the mattress
with a hunky firefighter. Her plan of donning some edible undies
and getting her freak on goes up in flames though the instant she
steps through the doors of Station 5 and spots Bennet Jackson—the
man responsible for her decade long Valentine’s Day
boycott.

No matter how hard he’s
tried, Ben has never gotten over the innocent girl he foolishly let
slip between his fingers. When Rory unexpectedly crashes back into
his world, he figures it’s his only shot at righting the wrongs of
his past and getting her back in his bed and his life. For good.
Unfortunately, she has other plans. Ones that don’t include him.
He’s well aware that she has every reason to despise him, but if
there’s one thing he’s up for, it’s a challenge. Because there’s no
way in hell he’s losing the woman of his dreams again. And this
time he’s prepared to pull out every dirty, sexy, and
hotter-than-sin trick to convince her to
stay.

before the gavel hits the block. He's dedicated his life to love;

other. Two years later, they've learned that love has many forms,
and a passionate love is needed to have a fulfilling
relationship.
The pair confounds Coop. His job has always been to repair
relationships, but what happens when he suddenly finds himself
rooting for the opposite of all he stands for? He does what any
smart cupid would do and flies away. But you can only escape
Cupid's arrow for so long, even if you happen to be Cupid.

she chronicles their journey from lust to love with a lot of
fireworks in between. They meet at the dawn of the New Year, and by
