Dr. Parker Radcliffe thought his days of making love to Mandy Sparks had ended long ago…until she walked into his Boston E.R.

Parker had a reputation as driven and unforgiving, but being Mandy's personal bodyguard became the primary focus of his days…and led to long, passionate nights. Now pitting himself against a madman was dangerous but necessary if he was to achieve what he wanted: keeping Mandy safe. And Parker always got what he wanted--even against a killer.

New Historical Fiction Releases

Mango Summer by Phoebe Conn, Leisure Books, ISBN: 0843960094

A woman may give a man all the sensual pleasures he desires, but she must never give him her heart.

This was the lesson Delphine Antoine's mother had taught her from birth.  A rare beauty, Delphine was trained to be an alluring temptress meant for a life of pampered luxury as the mistress of a rich man.  Eager to put her erotic training to practical use, Delphine relished the challenge of seducing the dark, brooding Earl of Clairbourne, Lord Michael Elliott Mallory.

Alone together on a lush, tropical Caribbean island, Delphine was sure Michael would be eager to indulge in her talents.  Yet despite the freedom of their exotic surroundings, he proved resistant to even her most intimate persuasions.  Was there more to making love with a man than physical pleasure?  In the sultry heat of the mango summer Delphine and Michael discovered that perhaps her mother had it wrong, and only by giving their hearts could they find the greatest ecstasy.

Seeing the dashing, carefree marquess of her dreams just reminded her that she couldn’t risk letting anyone, especially Tanner, get caught up in helping her escape. He would face the same punishment she did. The hangman’s noose.

Stacey Daniels has always been attracted to the wrong type of men--and the muscular, Viking-like champion on her front doorstep is no exception. She can hardly believe the wounded warrior is from another world, a world where erotic dreams are needed to survive, a world of terrible danger that has followed him to her home. Connor finds solace in her passion, but only time will tell if he can defeat the dark foe who hunts them...and if Stacey can surrender to the promise he offers with every electrifying touch.

Five years ago she and her husband had used him in a strange threesome that turned out to be less about passion than about an infertile couple's desperation. Now Zack Reese spotted Colleen Madison's name on a list of fertility centre clients he's supposed to interview for a story about some sperm donor. His curiosity, and his haunting memory of her glorious naked body, overcomes his reluctance to contact her.  Divorced and infertile--yet finally content with her life--Colleen is shaken when the man she'd unwittingly deceived re-enters her life. She can't forget that their one encounter left her wanting more. His re-entry into her life reawakens a passion she thought she'd lost forever.
