Let the fever burn…

Fashion blogger Carly Pendleton figured the “Sexiest Average Joe” winner would be, well, sexy. But up close, fireman Joe Tedesco is insanely good looking. Still, with exactly one chance to prove herself to the cut–throat fashion industry, not even the hottest hot dude will make this frosty fashionista break a sweat…

Until she wakes in the middle of the night to discover Joe in her bed.

They have nothing in common…except for a combustible chemistry that quickly turns delectable kisses into even wickeder nights. And when the cruise ends, so does the fling. But a fireman never runs from the heat–even if it means getting burned.

Even in her worst nightmare, Gabby Diaz never imagined a banking conference in Paraguay would end with her being kidnapped and ransomed – before being rescued by a hard–muscled Navy SEAL. Now, despite lingering worries, she's home and safe again…isn't she? 

Someone has Gabby in their deadly sights, and she needs her hotter–than–hot SEAL's help. But despite Clay Bellamy's guarded Navy demeanor, his hunger for Gabby is hard to control. He tells himself it's just the 'hero' thing, that they're worlds apart – until a sizzling kiss flips both their worlds upside down. Now Clay's mission has been compromised in the wickedest way imaginable…

What Jordan doesn't know is that Cole made a deal with his buddies: get some hot–'n'–heavy action from the Keno girl, or pay up! But Cole doesn't need an incentive. Every time he looks at Jordan's lips (or any part of her body, for that matter), he's immediately aware that something is up and it isn't his ante!

It looks as if Cole won't lose just his shirt. He'll lose all control, too!

After years as friends and comrades, Mitch is seeing Alex as the opposite of "one of the guys." Has that smoking–hot body always been hiding under her flight suit? Is she just messing with him? Can he wait a month to discover what he's been missing out on or are some sizzling night manoeuvres a sure bet?

When her best friend disappears during Mardi Gras, microbiologist Claire Brooks is determined to find her. Her only lead is a bar called Once Bitten – a haven for the vampire–obsessed. And while Claire generally prefers science nerds, something about the bar's tall, dark, and delish bartender makes her mouth water…

Bar owner Rafe Moreau is pretty sure that there's more to Claire than uptightness and frumpy clothes. And as they delve further into the dark, seedy underworld Claire and Rafe discover a sizzling hunger that won't be satisfied…

Lieutenant Colonel Ethan Grady is having his very first massage with a rather eccentric but smokin'–hot redhead, Lily Langford. But her touch isn't so much calming as it is very distracting. When he accidentally sets Lily's business and home ablaze, Ethan can't tell if the smouldering is from the fire or their attraction to each other!

But now Ethan's condo is invaded by the free–spirited Lily, who's convinced that he's the one who really needs to be rescued. And Lily's methods? Well, they're not so traditional. Still, Ethan can't remember having his chakras aligned so er, intensely. But will this be rescue or retreat?
