It's a dream come true for
historical buff Noah when he is chosen to participate in a
reenactment of a settlement village being taped for public
television. As the "wealthy landowner" of the village, Noah
gets to live in the grandest house and has two servants – a maid
and a manservant – at his beck and call. But the thrill of
living in the "past" soon pales compare to the thrill of working
beside his "manservant" Ethan. Noah is smitten and soon finds
out that Ethan feels the same, but with cameras following their
every move, they'll have to show some of their forefather's
tenacity and ingenuity to find ways to be together. Very
likeable characters and an intriguing setting offset the
occasionally heavy prose in this hot little nibble.

Violinist Marianna knew that a
ghost named Frederick supposedly resided in the house she just

Mike.
Both Marianna and Mike are

cold outside, but they are going to heat things up nicely
inside. Author Sarah Dickson sets up a realistic getting to know
each other period in CATCHING THE MUSE before getting our couple
into bed. If you’re looking for a short story that is long on
emotion, then head on over to Phaze and grab CATCHING THE MUSE.

Officer Ryan Lerner needs to get
back in the game and the jewel thief case is just the ticket.
Too bad he’s got the hots for the suspect, Ajana Bennett. No
matter! He’ll find out where she’s hiding, bring her in, and
that will be the end of it. Unfortunately, Ryan is kidnapped
after leaving work on the eve of his forced vacation. Damn! The
culprit couldn’t have taken him by surprise if Ryan hadn’t been
thinking about Ajana. Ryan is shocked when his kidnapper turns
out to be none other than the sexy woman he can’t get out of his
mind. And, she wants his help to prove she’s innocent.
Kidnapping a cop probably isn’t the smartest thing Ajana’s ever
done, but she needs Ryan’s help. Of course, she never expected
the attraction between them or that it would get so hot, so
fast. Hmm…a cop and a jewel thief?
Hot sex and a little mystery are
two key elements in Marie Rochelle’s CAUGHT. I can’t wait to
read more.
