    The Pleasure Device (Harwell Heirs Book 1)

    Title The Pleasure Device (Harwell Heirs Book 1)
    Genre Historical erotic romance
    Author Regina Kammer
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
    In Victorian London of 1879, a new device for the treatment of hysteria has just arrived from France. Dr. Julius Christopher plans to use the invention for his own salacious scheme. Can Dr. Nicholas Ramsay prevent his beloved, the virginal debutante Helena Phillips, from being the next patient?
    The Doctor and The Debutante
    Nicholas Ramsay, renouncing his aristocratic heritage and dark past, has chosen a career as a doctor. He arrives in London ready to embark upon his practice and find a suitable wife.
    Helena Phillips, born into scandal and disgrace, is making her London debut. To atone for the circumstances of her birth, she must find a titled husband—no less than an earl will do.
    A Dangerous Passion
    Nicholas and Helena’s chance encounter during the Season leads to a dangerous attraction–and forbidden explorations. A taste of passion leaves Helena longing for more, and her lovesick wretchedness is confused for hysteria, a mysterious ailment afflicting many Victorian women.
    A Devious Scheme
    Dr. Julius Christopher’s new electro-mechanical vibrating machine for the treatment of hysteria is the perfect device to test his radical theory of female sexuality. To fully explore his hypothesis, he requires a virgin and seeks to ensnare Helena for his experiment.
    Can He Save Her?
    Nicholas is determined to rescue Helena from the clutches of Dr. Christopher. But to prove he is worthy of Helena’s hand, Nicholas must reconcile with his past, embrace his future, and show her pleasure is more profound when coupled with love.
    The Harwell Heirs
    Victorian aristocracy has very strict rules concerning marital connections and familial obligations. But the Harwell heirs—Helena, Sophia, and Arthur—discover love doesn’t always follow the rules. Scandalous affairs force these scions of society to choose between duty and desire, deference and destiny.

To make matters worse, he can’t keep his hands off his business partner’s sister. Sophia is far out of his league and expected to marry a duke. But when the duke reveals his villainy, Joseph decides some risks are worth taking, and, to protect Sophia, he embarks upon a partnership of an entirely unexpected nature.

    Author Mary J. McCoy-Dressel
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
    Bull rider Caulder McCutchen wants to start living again. But
    this year he has a good chance of winning the coveted gold buckle, knowing he has
    to ride harder, go bigger, or go home. Winning consumes him, but it doesn’t take
    away the pain from a tremendous loss less than two years ago. On a whim, he hires
    a feisty photographer to travel the bull riding circuit with him for a season. A
    little extra publicity can’t hurt, and she’s easy on the eyes.
    When he finds himself passionately attracted to her, will this
    sassy little Italian photographer prove to be just what his claim to fame needs—or
    a disastrous distraction?
    Velia Armano had the strength to walk away from an abusive husband.
    After throwing a dart on the map, she moves from Chicago to Tucson, Arizona and
    opens her own photography studio—at the cost of leaving behind her close-knit, prominent
    Italian family. Six months into her well-ordered life alone, a hunky cowboy saunters
    in with his howdy, ma’am and flame blue eyes, offering a job any photographer would
    find hard to refuse. She accepts his offer and discovers they both have their own
    obstacles to overcome. Staying out of each other’s arms is only one of them.
    Before the final show, they both hope to find the right answer—to
    remain in their self-appointed exiles, or give in to a “happily ever after.”
    When the season ends, who wins the real prize?

    Cry Me a River, book 2 Destiny Paramortals

    Genre Science Fiction, Sword and Sorcery, Paranormal, Urban Fantasy
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG13
    He’s looking for normal, but has he found Mayberry or Middle Earth?
    Isn’t it just like a man to exit a relationship when he finds out a woman has a few little secrets? The last time I’d seen Sheriff Jack Lang, he got his first glimpse of my Paramortal “talents” – a few measly bolts of lightning aimed at his – in his general direction.
    I’ve denied my heritage as a Tempestaerie for nineteen years, but now my brother River, a Djnni like our father, is missing. Sheriff Lang is finally on board with our search for River but time is running out. In the course of the investigation we’ve gone from attraction to suspicion, support to friendship, romance to oh-my-god-get-away-from-me revulsion.
    Jack’s an ex-Navy pilot. He says he wants to know “everything”. My ex-lover, Dylan McGuinness, says after we answer Jack’s questions, he’ll either join us, or grab his daughter and take the first jet out of Middle Earth. Jack may stick around, help me save my brother and discover the whereabouts of my parents, but I doubt he’ll still want to take me to the Mardi Gras ball, once he knows “everything”. There’s a lot of everything…

Conor de Sept Flambe´ with the distinctive leathery tattoos spanning his muscular shoulders and magnificent flashing swords. “Where did he get those swords?” Montana drooled.

    Hannah and the Highlander–Book 1 in the Untamed Highlanders Series

    Hannah and the Highlander 

    First in a brand-new series from New York Times bestselling author Sabrina York about the bold, brawny men of the Highlands-and the lovely lasses who bring them to their knees…

    Highlanders are her weakness.
    Hannah Dounreay has no time for suitors who only seem interested in her family’s land, which she manages as well as any man. If she marries, she wants to be loved for the educated, independent woman she is. But when a strong, silent-and spectacularly handsome-Highlander saves her from a violent attack, her heart is stirred. Who is this man? And if he asks for Hannah’s hand, will she be able to resist him?
    Love is the most powerful weapon of all.
    Alexander Lochlannach, Laird of Dunnet, has no time to lose. The Highlands are in an uproar as clans battle for land-without mercy-and Alexander can’t afford to fall for the wildly attractive, strong-willed Hannah. What’s more, he has a desperate secret, one that could destroy them both. But as their attraction turns into an all-consuming passion, Alexander has no choice but to prove to Hannah that he’s the only man for her-body and soul…in Hannah and the Highlander.

    York carries readers back to the wild Scottish Highlands, where the bravest of
    men surrender to no one-except the boldest of women…
    Scotland, 1813.
    A Scandalous Temptation
    Andrew Lochlannach is famous for his conquests, on and off the battlefield.
    When a fellow warrior challenges him to a kissing contest, he wastes no time in
    planting his lips on ninety-nine lovely lasses-an impressive feat of seduction
    that gets him banished to the hinterlands. Still, Andrew has no regrets about
    his exploits-especially his embrace with the most beguiling woman he’s ever
    met…
    A Undeniable Passion
    With flaming red hair and a temper to match, Susana is not some innocent
    farmgirl who gives herself over easily to a man, even one as ruggedly handsome
    as Andrew. The wicked Scot may have won a kiss from the headstrong beauty in a
    moment of mutual desire, but Susana refuses to be just another one of his
    conquests. Andrew must convince the fiery lass that even though he is not
    playing a game, losing her is not an option…
