MaryJanice Davidson, one of my favorite authors, is most known for her shapeshifter stories. This collection of three novellas (two of them interrelated) is a straight contemporary, but still plenty of fun and reflecting a lot of trademark MJ touches. Sweet Strangers Renee had been, until two days ago, head of security Read more...

Two goons are chasing her, intent on retrieving a pharmaceutical miracle cure from her. Renee didn't steal PaceIC from her employer, but that doesn't matter to them.

Sweet Strangers On the run for a crime she didn't commit, Renee Jardon didn't think things could get worse. At least she didn't until she threw herself into the arms of a stranger, only to find out he's one of the guys after her. What ensues is a hilarious comedy of errors Read more...

Summary

Renee Jardin never meant to become the world's most sought-after thief. But the minute she walks out of her biotech firm accidentally carrying "The Cure"— the most important scientific discovery of the century— she's on the run from ruthless bioengineers, cops, and the U.S. government. Desperate to lose her trackers, Renee lays a full-body kiss on the first gorgeous guy she sees...a kiss that she gets back with a toe-curling vengeance. N.S.A. agent James Axelrod never thought apprehending his suspect would be so easy, and so sinfully arousing...or that he would consider taking her into custody in the privacy of his own bedroom...

Peter Random lost everything when he was outwitted by that goody-goody Renee Jardin. Late in his rent, his job gone, Peter vows he'll never let anyone get close enough to burn him again. So why can't he seem to tell Lori Jamieson and her troubles to hit the road? It isn't just her hot bod and full lips—although those have a magic he can't deny. Something about the damsel in distress makes Peter want to wrap her in his strong arms and prove that a bad boy can be very, very good, especially when it's between the sheets...

At the biotech firm, they call her Thea "I.Q." Foster— "I.Q." for either Intelligence Quotient or Ice Queen, depending. Slipping the Cure into Renee's tote bag was satisfying revenge, but now that the fun's over, Thea sets her sights on a new challenge: sarcastic, secretive Jimmy Scrye. Cracking open his hard shell would be a real game, but Jimmy's more than Thea's match. He's got a few ideas for turning the tables on the brainy scientist...sensual, erotic fantasy ideas that just might change those letters in her name to "Incredible," "Insatiable," and "Quivering with delight"...
