In Cherry Adair's Playing for Keeps, a woman's daring and bravery has earned her a death warrant from vengeful adversaries. Her ex-husband is the only man who can save her. If she lets him get close enough. But can he win back her trust in time to save her life?

In Jill Shalvis's Nothing to Lose, a beautiful antiques dealer is persuaded to find her missing ex-husband. An offer of a cool million is irresistible...and so is the stranger who puts it on the table. But what forbidden secret—and illicit passion—is she about to discover?

In Julie Elizabeth Leto's Dare to Desire, a secret agent's life-and-death mission hinges on the delicious blackmail scheme of her hot-blooded former lover. He'll give her any information she needs, if she'll surrender to him the one thing he still desires...

Julie Elizabeth Leto's Bio

I don't have a stepmother, have never been blonde and wouldn't know how to clean a fireplace if ashes were stacked to the flue. But my road to publication didn't come overnight or without a lot of disappointment. Yes, I have my Prince Charming (and a little Princess to boot), but other than that, Cinderella and I have nothing in common. Of course, my becoming published did have a lot to do with finding the perfect fit, so who knows? Maybe I do have a fairy godmother somewhere out there. Born and raised in Florida to a close-knit Italian-American family, I learned never to give up or give in -- especially when in pursuit of a lifelong dream. I worked over eight years before Harlequin Temptation bought my first book, SEDUCING SULLIVAN. A romance reader from age 16, I knew these were the stories I wanted to write. I started my first romance in 1988 while in graduate school. Soon after, I joined the workforce as an English teacher. I wrote at night and on weekends. During breaks. I grabbed every free moment I could. In 1996, I retired from teaching, joined my family's manufacturing business and gave myself more time to write. "The call" from Harlequin came in March of 1997 with an offer to publish SEDUCING SULLIVAN, my fourth completed novel. I discovered my niche with Temptation's sensuous, sexy tone and character-driven stories. My desire to "push the envelope" fit perfectly in Temptation's Blaze series. All the rejection letters and years of working to improve and hone my style paid off. With the start of the new Blaze line, I have homes at both Temptation and Blaze that I truly treasure. So to be honest, sometimes I do feel like a certain fairytale princess.
