"A lesson in foreplay!"

Relationship counselor Maggie James is between boyfriends at the moment, so when she needs a man to accompany her to check out a new resort that has supposedly helped some clients of hers to strengthen their marriage, she asks best friend and landlord Sam Masters to come along. Maggie is beginning to question her ability to help people to obtain lasting relationships because she has never had a long term relationship, unless you count her friendship with Sam. This superclub resort- The Falling Inn Bed, and Breakfast- with it's emphasis on love and hot sex may just be the key she needs to unlock her own relationship inhibitions. She doesn't want a sexual relationship with Sam because that would ruin their friendship, but she does want him to come along and help observe. Sam has been in love with Maggie for as long as he can remember. He wants a more intimate relationship with her, but the only time he has tried she has pushed him away, fearful that taking their relationship in that direction would ruin the friendship. He sees this weekend as an opportunity to seduce her into changing her mind.He is willing to take a gamble and let Maggie know his true feelings for her. Hopefully the truth won't drive her away from him.

If you like sensual stories with lots of inventive foreplay, SECRET GAMES is the book for you. Sam has a step-by-step plan for seducing Maggie and he will not be rushed, even by Maggie herself. The staff of the Inn also has a plan, they need to win a contest by making Maggie and Sam fall in love by Valentine's Day. They use some rather unique methods to make this happen. Throw in some edible finger paints, erotic videos, and a chastity belt (among other things) and you have a seductive weekend guaranteed to end in love.
