To Serve and Protect
by Delilah Devlin, Kit Tunstall, Arianna Hart, Trista Ann Michaels

When it comes to a man in a uniform, these four ladies show their insatiable lovers exactly who's the boss...in the bedroom.

Ride a Cowboy by Delilah Devlin
Katelyn Carter came to rural Texas to lick her wounds and start over after her failed marriage, but a sexy young cowboy seems determined to show her that love is still in the cards for this single librarian.

Sheriff's deputy Daniel Bodine answers a 911 call to remove a rattlesnake from his new neighbor's bedroom. What he finds is an embarrassed Katelyn, dressed in little more than her pretty pink blushes. One little omission later, and he's working for the lady as her handyman.

Burned once by a man, Katelyn fights her growing attraction but finds Daniel more temptation than she can resist. When he shows her he knows his way around a woman's body as well as he does a hammer and a saw, she takes a walk on the nasty side, vainly hoping she can keep her heart free of entanglement.

Convince Me by Arianna Hart
Heiress Sareena Wilton loves volunteering at a battered women's shelter in New York City. Not only does it give her something positive to do with her money, it puts her into contact with ever-so-sexy NYC cop Brogan Donahue. If only she could convince him to look past her bank account and do a private strip search in her condo.

When a deranged batterer attacks Sareena, Brogan steps in and helps her. Sareena is more than happy to have the opportunity to show him her heartfelt appreciation. As the night goes on and secrets are revealed, Sareena has to convince Brogan to accept a lot more than her gratitude. Can Brogan come to terms with what should be impossible? Will he let down his guard and allow the passion between them to explode?

Ablaze by Kit Tunstall
From the moment firefighter Nick Martin enters schoolteacher Miriam Zorga's life, he awakens buried passions and sets her body ablaze with need. Their affair is intense but strings-free, just as she wants it.

Everything changes when Nick falls for her and wants a commitment. He can inflame her senses, but thawing her frozen heart will be the ultimate challenge.

Fantasy Bar by Trista Ann Michaels
Kiranda Vorkin is one of Meenus Prime's youngest and most respected college professors. But on Klindor she's known as Kira, half owner of Fantasy, a hedonistic bar where anything goes and every night is an orgy. When Kiranda shoots someone in self-defense, she panics and flees to Klindor in the hopes she can figure out what to do. It isn't just anyone she shot—it's Micas, the next Regent Elect of Meenus Prime. At Fantasy she disguises herself and gets lost in the wild, sexual atmosphere of the bar with a total hunk by the name of Jerrod.

Jerrod Scollin is the lead investigator assigned to find Micas' killer. Unfortunately, the more he digs, the more he realizes just how sick his friend was. Following a tip, he heads to Klindor in search of a blonde, but what he finds is Kira, a feisty redhead with who makes his blood boil in passion whenever she's near. The investigator side of him can't shake the feeling she's hiding something—he just never dreamed she'd be hiding a murder.

Note: Fantasy Bar contains scenes of sexual violence against women, and brief mentions of m/m sexual interaction.

Delilah Devlin's Bio

Until recently, award-winning romance author Delilah Devlin lived in South Texas at the intersection of two dry creeks, surrounded by sexy cowboys in Wranglers. These days, she's missing the wide-open skies and starry nights but loving her dark forest in Central Arkansas, with its eccentric characters and isolation---the better to feed her hungry muse! For Delilah, the greatest sin is driving between the lines, because it's comfortable and safe. Her personal journey has taken her through one war and many countries, cultures, jobs, and relationships to bring her to the place where she is now---writing sexy adventures that hold more than a kernel of autobiography and often share a common thread of self-discovery and transformation.
