He has just one night to prove to her that anything is possible . . .
Jason Hart, Jase to his friends, has just graduated college and earned his commission as a Second Lieutenant in the Marine Corps. It's the night of the graduation party and she'll be there. His best friend's slightly older sister, Nickie. Nickie is the onlywoman he's really wanted for a long time. He has just one night to make it happen.
She has just one night before the man of her dreams leaves, maybe forever, but can she find the courage to take a chance . . .
Nicole de Salvo has been in love – and lust – for her little brother’s best friend for years. For years she’s watched from afar and done nothing about her attraction for Jason Hart only now their time together is almost at an end. On their last nighttogether will she find the courage to do something about her feelings, or will she live with regret for the rest of her life?
Excerpt:
Chapter 1
Nicole de Salvo stared out the train window as every passing mile brought her closer to home . . . and to him.It had been a hectic day with a dash down to the Philadelphia area for her brother's and Jase's graduation and then a rushed trip back to New York City for an interview for a position she wanted for her summer break from medical school. An interview that couldn't be rescheduled no matter
what.
The nearly two hour train ride down to her family's home on the Jersey Shore was long, but at least it would give her a moment to catch her breath and prepare for seeing him again.
For seeing Jase, possibly for the last time.
He had looked amazing that morning in his dress uniform, sword at his side and his second lieutenant's bars gleaming in the morning sun. The deep blue of the uniform had made his green eyes seem aqua, like the ocean bathed with brilliant light. Tall and imposing, he had looked every inch an officer and a warrior until he had fixed his gaze on her and offered up the wicked little boy grin that did all kinds of things to her insides.
She pressed a hand to her stomach to quiet the nervous flutters as she thought about seeing him again once she arrived at home, where her younger brother Tommy's graduation party would be in full swing. It had been tough enough seeing Jase that morning, knowing that with every minute that passed their time together was fading away.
This night at the party and knowing it would be the last one they'd share was going to be one of the hardest things she ever did.
Driving that thought from her mind, she glanced out the train windows and caught glimpses of the shoreline and ocean visible from the North Jersey Coast line.
They'd all spent so much time in those waters, her, Tommy, and his best friend Jason. Jase to his friends.
She was a friend, kind of. After all, they'd grown up together and had spent many a lazy summer along the shore. But as they'd gotten older, something had changed.
The typical teasing between kids, between her and Jase, had become more flirty. Definitely full of
subtle sexiness. Or at least, it had gotten that way on his part.
She hadn't known how to handle it when an eighteen year old Jase had settled that green-eyed gaze on her, flashed her a not-so-innocent dimpled grin, and heat had ignited inside her. Four years later, she still didn't know how to handle him.
He was like a little brother to her, although the annoying voice in her head shouted a big, "Hell to the no" and reminded her that they were only two years apart in age.
Reluctantly she admitted to herself that Jase was definitely not like a little brother. Not since she'd come to understand that the weird little tingle she got whenever she saw him or talked to him meant that there was way more to her feelings for him.
More that she had yet to explore, only time was running out for them.
One night. One woman. Two men. Twice the desire.
Katrina refuses to give in to her mother’s demand to marry a man she can’t stand. After years of trusting no one with her heart or her body, she wants to be swept off her feet, to experience complete surrender, if only for one night.
Tristan has lusted after Katrina for years and tonight he’s making his move. He’ll steal her away from his brother, who doesn’t deserve her. Then he and his best friend, Adam, will give her exactly what she wants…
Excerpt:
"Maybe you should back off for tonight," Adam suggested.
Tristan shook his head. "We do that, she has time to barricade herself into whatever safe hole she’s got."
"What if she bolts anyway?"
"Then we follow."
Adam looked at him with raised brows. "And I suppose you know where she’s going to bolt to?"
Tristan just stared back.
Adam conceded the unspoken point with a slight shrug. "Of course you do. And you don’t think she’ll be freaked out when we show up on her doorstep?"
"She’s going to have to get used to us sometime."
Because Tristan wasn’t about to give in and go home.
He’d been waiting too damn long for his chance with her. To show her how much he wanted her.
How much pleasure he and Adam could bring her.

It's Kylie's birthday and she'll do anything to ensure her one night with Ty isn't a once-in-a-lifetime event... Anything.
The elevator dinged the arrival at their floor. Ty sighed and did up his shorts. "I don’t know why I’m bothering. It’s not as if there’s going to be anyone out there waiting to see. I pay good money for my privacy."
"This is private?" she asked when the doors opened to wall of windows, floor to ceiling, with a stunning view of LA spread out before them, all the way to the ocean, not a curtain to be found. More windows filled the wall on the right, too.
"You see how high up we are?" Ty said, leading her into the space. "Only someone with a telescopic lens is going to see us and hell, no one’s safe from those anywhere."
She walked over to the window. The Pacific ocean sparkled in the distance, one of the few days the air was smog-free enough to see it. "It’s gorgeous."
Ty came up behind her and put his hands on either side of her on the glass, trapping her there with his body, his scent, his very presence. "So true."
She met his gaze in the window’s reflection. "You’re not talking about the view, are you?"
"Not the one outside the window."
It felt so good to feel desirable. Bill hadn’t been into flattery—or even a general, feeling it vibe. Sex between them had been stagnant from day one.
What was moving against her behind was anything but stagnant.

Skylar Sole's fantasy becomes reality when the object of her affection shows up with that sexy, lopsided grin and a tantalizing proposition. These two wayward souls soon discover that not all propositions are as simple as they sound.
Excerpt:
They grabbed iced coffee from the deli and Skylar thought they’d sit down to talk. Instead, Griffin gestured for her to follow him outside.
"Let’s take a walk." Griffin held the door open for her and waved goodbye to the deli employees. "The park is just up the street and it would be a good place for us to talk privately."
"Sure." Standing in front of the deli, Skylar glanced at him and damn if her stomach didn’t flutter when those gorgeous green eyes latched onto hers. A smile played at her lips before she sipped her coffee. Looking at him over the rim of her cup she said, "As long as it’s not too private and there are still people within screaming distance."
"Funny you should mention that." Griffin brushed past her, his arm grazing her hers with the lightest of touches. Without turning around, he murmured, "Making you scream is part of my proposition."
