What makes a real man? Is it his strength? His devotion? Or does it simply come down to REAL MEN LAST ALL NIGHT?

Luring Lucy - Lori Foster

Lucy Vaughn. Even her name brings Bram Giles' lust to a boiling point. For four years, he's played the sympathetic ear to his best friend's widow, but not anymore. Lucy has finally come out of her shell, and is ready to feel like a woman again. And Bram will be damned if it's with anyone but him.

A philandering husband was enough to make Lucy question her sexual appeal. Then, when her husband died, she blamed herself for not taking him back. But nearing forty, Lucy is ready for a summer fling. She just never expected she would find pleasure, or love, in the arms of a dear friend.

REAL MEN LAST ALL NIGHT starts off with a firecracker boom as Bram sets out to prove he's the only man whom Lucy will even think about sharing a bed with. Though Bram's extreme alpha male stance was a little too much to bear in the beginning, LURING LUCY is ultimately a sizzling romance about one woman realizing her worth.

Cooper's Fall - Lora Leigh

A traumatic incident in her teens has left Sarah Fox alone and unfulfilled. Even the touch of her own hands brings little, if any, satisfaction. But Sarah knows the cure -- Ethan Cooper. A wounded vet, Sarah has lusted after him ever since she moved to the small Texas town, but he only sees her as a kid, not the woman she really is. What will it take to show Ethan she's not interested in childish games?

One sinful glimpse of the proper Miss Sarah has Ethan Cooper rethinking his feelings for his kindly neighbor. Yet, there's something wary in Sarah's eyes, and Ethan is determined to get to the bottom of it...even if he may not like the outcome.

Looks are proven deceitful in Lora Leigh's COOPER'S FALL. What happened in Sarah's past that has made her unable to feel any sexual pleasure? Readers will eagerly devour the titillating tale as Ethan explores all that Sarah has to offer, and the explosive secret which ties these fated lovers together.

The Edge of Sin - Cheyenne McCray

Zane Steele knew better than to approach the woman eating ice cream on the Common. But there was something about the way she deliciously licked her treat that made him want her. As an agent for a covert government group though, relationships are the last thing Zane needs to complicate his life.

Willow Randolph is as impulsive as one can be, which is why she knowingly teased the handsome stranger in the park staring at her. Those same impulses invite Zane Steele to dinner that evening, where dessert just can't wait. But there's something which keeps Zane's emotions distant, and Willow wants to know why. Will she be able to handle the truth?

Zane and Willow are living on THE EDGE OF SIN as lust and danger turn their lives inside out. Because of his job, Zane fears loving a woman in case she might be used to get to him. Willow's infectious personality, though, is too much for Zane to resist, and he'll prove to Willow why bad boys are always so much fun in, and out, of bed.

Wanted: A Real Man - Heidi Betts

The last thing Claire Cassidy Scarborough wants is to ask old flame Lincoln "Linc" Rappaport for help. But her daughter has been kidnapped by her soon-to-be ex-husband, and Claire has no choice but to reveal the truth to Linc -- Sara is his daughter. And though Claire expects nothing from the man she lied to, she can only hope he will look past her betrayal...for their daughter's sake.

Linc has nothing but contempt for Claire and the man who took his place as her husband, and is unwilling to help Claire when she first arrives. Yet when he learns they share a daughter, there's nothing in the world that will keep him from finding Sara. There's just one problem...Linc's hate for Claire is quickly turning into lust, and he will have to figure out if he can ever forgive her for her deception.

At first, Linc's response to Claire's need of aide was extremely callous, going so far as to ask why he should care that her daughter is missing. His loathing for Claire, while understandable, didn't justify his initial reaction to Sara's disappearance. Other than that one moment, WANTED: A REAL MAN is an intense and salacious tale about two people torn apart by deceptions and fear.

Summer is scorching, and so are these stories in REAL MEN LAST ALL NIGHT. If it's not hot enough for you outside, then you'll definitely need a nice cool down once you're done with this anthology!
