Doing It Right

Thief of Hearts

There's never a dull night in the ER for Dr. Jared Dean, especially when he sees the woman of his fantasies beating the crud out of the city's biggest, toughest mobster. It's enough to get a guy all hot and bothered. Not that it matters when SuperHotButtKickingChick gets away without giving her name. The name's Kara, aka The Avenging Angel, sort of a Robin Hood with better shoes. But now her latest revenge stunt has just landed the gorgeous doc on a mobster's hit list. There's only one thing to do: guard Dr. Jared's extremely fine bod until she can figure a way out of this mess for both of them. Jared's only too happy to accommodate. Anything to have her close at hand...and in his bed. As for her closed heart? He's got a plan for that, too...

Really Unusual Bad Boys

A three novella anthology, all written by MaryJanice Davidson

THEY'RE JUST THE SEXY BOYS NEXT DOOR.

IF NEXT DOOR IS A WEIRD, WEIRD PLACE.

Meet Damon, Maltese, and Shakar - three noble brothers from an enchanted kingdom where wooing and pleasuring is practically a royal commandment. They're hot. Irresistible. And just a little different. But what woman doesn't like a guy with a few surprises?

BRIDEFIGHT

One minute, Detective Lois Commoner is popping pain pills for her bum knee in her apartment; the next, she's in a strange land with a magically delicious naked man named Prince Damon calling her beautiful and offering to show her his brand of toe-curling hospitality. Okay then. Questions? Well, maybe one or two. Like, whose idea was the no-clothes rule? How does he do that thing--yes, that thing? How does a girl end up here? And how can she ever possibly go?

MATING SEASON

Lt. Anne Sanger joined the W.A.C.s so she could see the world and meet someone, but perhaps she should have been more specific. "See the world" meant Europe. "Meet someone" meant a nice soldier from a farm in Boise, not a feral, well-built, rakish man in a bathtub claiming he has wished her to be his mate. She has to be dreaming. And if she's just dreaming, it's perfectly okay to let Prince Maltese kiss here there...and there...and, oh, there. Now, as long as no one wakes her up, everything should be just fine...

GROOMFIGHT

Rice Callanbra is used to odd things happening, but not usually sweet-godlike-hunky-men-falling-from-the-sky kinds of things. Still, a girl takes what she can get, and if Prince Shakar is it, holy moley, is she in for heaven. The guy loves everything about her world--swimming holes, arm wrestling, skinny dipping...wet, long kisses and smooth caresses and, um, yeah, everything. Too bad he has to go back home and be fought over by swooning, clawing females who all want to be his mate. Then again, if you can't beat 'em...join 'em...

Bewitched, Bothered and Be-Vampyred…

Welcome to Brokenoggin Falls
population 567 (sometimes)

Where . . .

The housewives are not only desperate, they're Witches (and one of them might be a Harpy) The hot young studs are silent, willing - and far between The skeletons in the closet are as real as the bodies in the cellars The spells cast by moonlight frequently go awry And there are times when toads and Chihuahuas seem as abundant as black flies in summer, the dragons are a little touchy, the Forest Trolls are in danger of extinction from teeny-boppers, the Gryphons need help conceiving and…the scientists are crunchy and good with ketchup…

And this is not to mention the faeries (or their flaming queen), the succubus, the werewolves, the demons and the other myths-and-legends and X-Files-like residents of this…very strange little hamlet.

Into the middle of this misbegotten world (where the full moon shines several times a month - because it's better for romance that way, you know) wanders the sexiest vampyre ever wakened, fully naked, and sporting not only a 2"x2" Womanized wooden stake through his chest but also a full-blown case of amnesia.

He's just what the town needs -

from the lonely town sheriff, Janice Thinksalot, who's been stuck in her position for a lot longer than she wants anyone to know, and who hasn't gotten any for a lot longer than that.

to the gigantically proportioned - though miniature - flaming faery queen, Morgan (or Morganna, as she prefers to be called), who's in love with the werewolves veterinarian, Joe, but can't get Joe to notice…her… without a very sweet vampyre's help

to the harpy, Claire, whose husband, Sam, the Lord of the Forest Trolls has gone missing and is presumed flirting and cavorting with other women the world over due to the traveling Garden Gnome postcards everyone in town but her is getting from him

to all those lonely, lonely witches who're looking for action with someone besides Brokenoggin's only single warlock, and a truly mysterious cabana boy named Juan…
