Hurts So Good
by Sahara Kelly, Lisa Renee Jones, Gail Faulkner

Hurt So Good by Lisa Renee Jones (originally published in e-book format)
Kelly Marshall is all work and no play, which has left her with only dreams—visions filled with erotic images. But fantasy becomes reality when she accompanies a friend to a trendy Manhattan bar and meets Mark—a man hot enough to fulfill all those nighttime fantasies.

After spending one incredible night with Mark, Kelly slips away without leaving a way for Mark to reach her.

Kelly's erotic dreams continue—only now they feature Mark, a man who isn't so easily dismissed. But soon she will face him again and this time Mark won't allow her to escape because he plans to win one hot night after the next.

Sizzle by Sahara Kelly (originally published in e-book format)
Dr. Susanna Chalmers, successful therapist, has few secrets and little to hide. Her one scandalous memory is buried eleven years in her past—or so she thinks. But then Dylan Sinclair walks back into Susanna's life looking for "Sizzle" Chalmers, the red-headed girl who has haunted his fantasies for eleven years. Suddenly everything has changed...

Romeo by Gail Faulkner (originally published in e-book format)
After she survived a tragic accident at age ten, doctors discovered Lauren's heart was damaged. Her young life was consumed with recovery and the long wait for an organ donor. Two years after a successful transplant and free at last, Lauren is now a woman who needs to play and explore.

He is tall, dark and Texan, with a scandalous reputation for delivering sinful satisfaction. A wicked cowboy and no strings attached, what more could a good girl looking to go just a little bit bad ask for?

Romeo Monero is damn good at satisfying women. Accustomed to the total control and gratifying freedom a wealthy bachelor enjoys, he's unprepared to discover his true heart beats in a curvy bundle who's out to indulge every pleasure she's missed.

His reputation makes it tough to persuade the budding seductress he's the only guy to fulfill her heart's desires. Then there's his annoying gang of cousins, who are convinced this woman will take him down a peg or six. Romeo has one weekend to convince her to come and play with him—forever.

A cowboy will do whatever it takes to bring his woman home.

Sahara Kelly's Bio

Being transplanted from England in my teens, I arrived in the United States with a head full of Jane Austen, Shakespeare and Thomas Hardy stories, and a trunk full of Georgette Heyer and Barbara Cartland books. Romances are, and always have been, my first reading choice (I write Regency historicals under another name).

I've been happily married for almost twenty years to a high energy physicist/software architect (and would-be biker dude), and am the frazzled mom of a teenage son who intends to rule the world someday. I've worked in academia for many years, been a Middle Eastern dancer and dance teacher, a nursery school aide, and served my obligatory five years pushing designer evening gowns on unsuspecting customers at my local mall. At last I have finally had time to rediscover my passion for writing. Another Regency historical emerged, and was sent off into the big wide world of publishing.

In the interim I joined A Romance Review, and found a group of folks with obsessions like mine! I also found friends who encouraged and supported my efforts to pen a romantica while waiting to hear the fate of my Regency. Little did I realize that the enormous fun I was having writing my first erotic romance would lead to its publication by Ellora's Cave. Now I am in love with the genre, and writing takes precedence over far too many things, like laundry and housecleaning. But what the heck - how many people can say they sit down at the computer each day to do something they adore?

Hobbies? Yeah, I've got a few. I'm an inveterate crafter, and am the co-founder of a crafts group in my area. I'm a dog worshipper, but temporarily dogless after the loss of our second precious Bernese. I hate flying, love the fall, and can't stand olives. Chocolate, however is another matter. I'm an enthusiastic gardener of no repute whatsoever, and am fascinated by Italian glass. One day, I'll go to Venice, stand on the island of Murano, cry a little, and then max out every credit card I own. Until then, I believe that everyone should have a 'Lifetime List' - things they'd love to do but probably never will. Of such lists are fantasies born. We all should have fantasies.
