Ryan Redford's reputation as a hard-nosed secret service agent in Cape Town, South Africa nearly goes out the window when his best friend's sexy, all grown up, little sister orchestrates an all-out, everything bared, seduction. To protect both his body and his heart, he describes the most depraved acts he can think of--everything he's fantasized about doing to her--sure to scare the virgin away. Hell, they scared him. Except when she takes his threats as promises, she expects him to deliver. Leah Jenkins was not taking no for an answer. She would deal with the consequences tomorrow but, tonight, Ryan Redford owed her--big time. Eight-year-old memories etched into her brain like a perpetual flame had kept her a virgin because no other man but Ryan would do.

“Ah,” the saleslady said over her spectacles as she peered over the counter at Leah. “There are only three ways to dress up for a man, my dear.”

“Really?” Leah asked. Only three ways?

“Oh, yes. The Morning Rose. The Afternoon Rose.” Her eyes grew wide with mischief. “And, The Midnight Rose.”

“Of course,” Leah replied, her hand on her pounding heart. If it all boiled down to three ways in which a woman could dress up for her man, than she wanted to know them all. It would be an imperative decision to make and one made primarily for Ryan, naturally.

“Let me explain. The Morning Rose is shy. An example might be, I’ll take a kiss on my hand as a goodnight.”

A kiss on her hand? The last thing Leah needed was for Ryan to give her a chaste goodnight kiss, and on her hand on top of that. No, she wanted his lips on every inch of her body.

“The Afternoon Rose means you can touch me if you want, with the lights off and nothing kinky,” the sales lady continued.

Nothing kinky? She wanted everything kinky Ryan could give her. She was way too starved for just the missionary position. Leah turned an expectant look on the sales lady.

“And The Midnight Rose…” The sales lady paused for effect.

“The Midnight Rose?” Leah leaned forward, her entire attention focused now, her eyes widened and her breath caught. She was struck with a premonition that whatever The Midnight Rose meant, it would be something deliciously, daringly licentious.

 

 

 

A blindfold of silk to heighten all senses, adding sultriness to pleasure, mystery to identities…Five years ago, Kelly Paton's friends devised a New Year's resolution to relieve her of her virginity and catapult her platonic relationship with David van Wyk into a mind-blowing passion-fest. But not only did the blindfold conceal Kelly's vulnerability, it also masked the identity of the virile man who took as he pleased.

Nothing could have stopped Adam van Wyk from the blindfolded beauty dressing his brother's bed. After all, she was only David's present to himself, a dalliance while he waited on the virgin heiress he was in love with. Or was she?

Five New Years' later, David has once again Kelly within arms' reach but the wounds of betrayal aren't quite healed.

She must have sensed she was being trailed; she stopped in the empty passage, and then slowly turned around. He saw a thousand expressions cross her face as her lips parted, her breasts heaved.

Looking into her eyes vanquished all else. The some hundred guests his mother had invited to the bash, the repercussions that would come if he took her again. She even managed to hide the actual hurt and betrayal that let him know she remembered every moment of their encounter five years ago.

But now there was only Kelly, with her soft lips and her hot sexy body, alone in the passage, her perfume driving him insane. He began to close the distance between them, his control a thing of the past. He heard her shuddering breath as if, for a moment, she didn’t know whether to stay or run. He wanted her to run as far away from him as possible. He wanted them on separate ends of the world. He wanted to obliterate her from his mind because he knew he was going to touch her no matter what story he fed his conscience.

“I almost didn’t recognize you with your clothes on, Kelly,” he said softly.

“Oh, I recognized you instantly, Adam,” she returned as softly.
