"Adrenalin and passion, such a delicious combination"

Adrenalin and passion, such a delicious combination brought to you in SECRETS Volume 3. Whether a medieval warlord claiming his lady and teaching her the arts of sensuality, a modern day cop watching his partner's back and enjoying the view, an undercover agent walking the fine line between duty and desire, or a futuristic vampire protecting an ex- mercenary from an assassin in exchange for sexual favors, SECRETS 3 blends intense emotion with desire and the rush of fear.

In The Barbarian, Giles, the Earl of Harrow, is determined to not only claim Lady Brianna as his wife, but also to teach her how to please him, in and out of bed. With the assistance of his eunuch Arnaud, Giles weaves a spell of desire and longing within Brianna, temping her with earthly delights, until nothing matters his pleasure, his wishes, his will.

Determined to catch the mastermind behind a series of murders, FBI agent Paige Ellison goes undercover, knowing that she might very well be the next victim of Lewis Goddard's twisted snuff-porn operation. Little did she expect when she was whisked away to his private island, that her co-star in the upcoming film would be her FBI academy trainer, Christopher Sharp. The Spy Who Loved Me is a thrilling mixture of lust, blossoming love, and plotting to escape death while getting the goods on the bad guy. [Jeanie Cesarini later appears in SECRETS Volume 4 with An Act of Love, and Volume 8 with Taming Kate.]

Love Undercover -- When several strip clubs are the victims of robberies, police lieutenant Amanda Forbes and five other women go undercover at various clubs in a sting operation. Picking the object of her lust as her partner, Amanda never planned on the effect Detective Wes Cooper would have on her libido. Catching the robbers was planned, but falling in love with the handsome cowboy, one of her subordinates, was not in the plans, but felt too right to be wrong. [B.J. McCall appears in SECRETS Volume 5 with her story Alias Smith and Jones.]

Willing to trade of year of her life and her body for sex to save herself from an assassin, Beryl St. Cloud hadn't planned on just what Decker would require of her. A little bit of blood for his needs, a few tosses in the sack was expected, she never dreamed of the passion he would awaken within her, nor the need she would feel for him. As the plot surrounding her betrayal by a member of the mercenary group Decker founded years ago is revealed, Beryl finds out how shallow her life was before Decker saved her with BLOOD AND KISSES. [Angela Knight has been a part of SECRETS Volume 2 with Roarke's Prisoner, Volume 6 with A Candidate for A Kiss, and Volume 7 with Kissing the Hunter.]

Like the volumes before, and the ones that come after, the SECRETS authors blends perfectly the tempting passion between the lead characters with various times and realities for an erotic and truly enjoyable read.
