Erotic Romantic Suspense

Somerset, Kentucky; Lake Cumberland - Present Day

Eight years before...

After a night of rough and mind-blowing sex, Crista Jansen sneaks out of Dawg Mackay's bed and hightails it out of there. Sleeping with him was stupid she knows, but he'd just lost his parents, was drunker than a skunk and she just wanted to take care of him. She hadn't planned on sleeping with Dawg, but one hot open-mouthed kiss and she was a goner. However, the light of day brings with it regrets, sadness and anger, especially when Dawg doesn't remember that night. Crista leaves town and doesn't return until now...

Present Day

ATF agent, James "Dawg" Mackay can't believe his eyes when he sees Crista in the middle of his sting operation with a gun pointed straight at her. Dawg has no choice but to protect the woman who has haunted his dreams for eight years. He kills the man that they really needed alive, hustles Crista out to his truck, kisses the hell out of her and tells her to stay put. What in the hell is he thinking? Obviously not with the head on his shoulders, that's for sure. After some deep thinking, Dawg decides to blackmail Crista into his bed. He knows she's not the ringleader of the group they are trying to take down, but he wants her and he'll stoop to any level to get her. Once he has her in his bed, though, Dawg discovers quite a few things, including the fact that his steamy dreams are actually memories of a night shared eight years ago. Now he wants the reality of Crista and all the naughty little things they did back then.

Crista Jansen can't believe it when Dawg appears out of the darkness and saves her life. Of course, the gratitude is short-lived when the SOB blackmails her. He will keep her presence in the warehouse unknown...if she will sleep with him. Oh god! Once in Dawg's bed was enough. The man had been insatiable, rode her hard, and because he was drunk didn't remember a bit of it. But Crista remembered. Oh heavens did she remember! Every touch, every kiss, every word, including his whispered words, "I can't wait to share you with Rowdy and Natches." That frightened her even more than losing her virginity to Dawg. Though it makes her furious and her brother, Alex, is nowhere to be found, Crista has no choice but to agree to Dawg's outrageous proposal. The sex is hotter than she remembers, and if she's not careful he will break her heart again.

Amidst Dawg and Crista's reunion, there's still the case and the mysterious woman on the loose. Someone is trying to frame Crista and that ticks Dawg off. No way in hell will he let Crista be taken from him now that he's got her back. However...someone else has other plans and will stop at nothing to kill Crista. Can Dawg protect the woman he loves?

OH MY GOSH! Talk about heat, danger, and captivating characters. Readers will find all that and more when they open up Lora Leigh's newest Nauti Boys story. We met all three of the Mackay cousins in the first book NAUTI BOY and learned a great deal about them, such as they enjoyed sharing a woman. Rowdy was the first to fall and he wouldn't, couldn't share Kelly with his cousins. Dawg understood, though he thought it was amusing, but Natches was ticked off really bad. In NAUTI NIGHTS Dawg finds his woman...right in the middle of a shoot-out about to get her pretty little butt killed. For a year, Dawg had tried to get Crista in his bed but each and every time she turned him down. All he has are the steamy dreams that leave him hard as a rock and ready to tie her to his bed. Crista lost her heart to Dawg a long time ago and left before he could make good on his promise to share her with his cousins. Upon her return eight years later, Dawg has pursued her like a dog with a bone. And now, with the threat of jail time, Crista is right where Dawg wants her to be...in his bed. The sex is still erotic as ever, his tastes are still dark and exciting, and Crista wonders what will happen when the person trying to frame her is caught. Will Dawg tire of her? Will he share her? Can her heart survive another break? Though the story revolves mostly around Dawg, Crista, and the predicament she's in, readers will get to see a little more of Natches. He's as sexy as his two cousins, ticked off that neither of them will share, and tired of being alone. There's a darker side to Natches (not the sexual type) and even Dawg and Rowdy don't know all the details. His story will be out in 2008 and I can't wait to read it.

Outstanding, exciting, torrid, drool-inducing, and downright naughty, NAUTI NIGHTS will keep you squirming on the edge of your seat.
