Binding Gillian by Melinda Barron.

In college, Brad Claybourne and Gillian York were soul mates. But their relations.h.i.+p could not survive the manipulations of a conniving woman, and ended in heartbreak.

Now Brad is a world-famous journalist and Gillian is an on-the-rise author. When her agent unwittingly sets Gillian up to be interviewed by Brad, Gillian vows that she will not allow old feelings to surface.

But Brad has other ideas. He intends to remind Gillian of how good they were together. All he will need is a little bit of holiday magic...and a few feet of rope.

Punished by Brynn Paulin.

Prim Natalia Cooper lives life on the straight and narrow, never veering into naughty territory.

But she wants to. One night, years ago, her boyfriend gave her a few swats on the rear as part of their s.e.x play and she loved it. She wants more. But he's long gone and she hasn't been spanked since. When she learns of a club where she can get exactly what she needs-anonymously-she's so turned on and ready she can hardly bear it.

For Ethan Tavish, The Dungeon has served as a place to exert his dominance without making lasting commitments. He can hardly believe his eyes when he enters the play area to find his secretary, Natalia, bent over the spanking bench in a schoolgirl uniform. They're both masked, but he'd recognize her anywhere. In an instant, he has a plan to give them what they both want...and perhaps a whole lot more.

After Nicolas punishes her for being naughty, the usually nice but now s.e.xually frustrated Winter arrives at their secluded mountain cabin bearing gifts-special gifts that will ensure his submission and her revenge.

With only seven days left until Christmas, Nicolas expects to spend the night decorating the house for the approaching holiday, but Winter has other plans... Christmas might be coming, but if Winter gets her way, Nicolas won't be.

Body of Art by Bronwyn Green.

Art professor Seth Granger has two problems-an absentee life drawing models and a case of unrequited l.u.s.t. Luckily his troubles have the same answer-his colleague, Dr. Callie Sullivan.

The trick will be getting her out of her clothes and into his studio...and hopefully into his bed.

However, she's intent on keeping her mind on her art and ignoring him. Now he just needs to convince her she should be his body of art.

Transparent Illusions by Melinda Barron.

Freelance writer Saffron Tyler needs work. When she offers her journalistic skills to Steele Publications, they suggest that she spend two weeks as a submissive at Fingertip Fantasies, an exclusive BDSM resort that caters to the ultimate fantasies of any customer willing to pay for the high-end service. She's been tasked to come back with a t.i.tillating expose guaranteed to enthrall the readers of Steele's underground magazine, Salacious.

But when Saffron arrives at the resort, she realizes nothing is as it seems, from the fact she doesn't know where the resort is located, or anything about the man she is submitting to-except she's to call him Master, with a capital M.

What starts out as an undercover a.s.signment soon becomes so much more. Immersed in the lifestyle, Saffron finds herself no longer acting the role of the submissive, but actually wanting to be the perfect sub her Master believes she can be. When all is said and done, will Saffron take her experience and her story and never look back? Or will she choose to stay with the man who commands her mind, body, and soul.

Seven short, erotic stories to whet your appet.i.te, packaged in one collection. Whether the couples meet on a glance, make a split second decision or take a chance to be together, the encounters change their lives, for a minute, or for a lifetime.

Then there is naughty Rose, who dances naked in front of her bedroom window, a chance s.e.xual encounter in a taxi that turns the tables, and a woman who finds herself doing exactly what she thinks she shouldn't...and liking it.
