'He'll protect her–and bed her!

'Tristan Bennett is tall, sexy and enigmatic–and jeweler Erin can't tell whether he's a gem or a rough diamond.

'But Tristan has a week to spare–so he'll act as protector to Erin while she goes to Australia's gem mines to buy precious stones.

'Once she and Tristan are on the road, the heat they generate dirves them both to distraction. Erin knows they're headed for trouble–unless they can keep the lid on the attraction growing between them....'

'Bad boy…good loving!

'Serena: She’s got a career to forge and dreams to chase – and in the meantime she’s not averse to a little romance…of the strictly carefree kind…

'Pete: The impossibly handsome helicopter pilot revels in the thrill of the chase, but he never falls for a girl; she will fall for him, and he’s the one to walk away…

'Greece: Working on a small island and hiring out scooters to tourists hasn’t quite met Serena’s expectations – but Pete Bennett has. She can’t resist the glint of sin in his eyes, and soon she’s sleeping with this baddest of boys…

'After a month, their supposedly temporary affair is still as hot and heavy as ever. By now Pete should be ready to roam. So what’s keeping Serena in his arms?'

'Businesswoman Madeline Delacourte has no time and no need for a man in her life; after all, her late husband left her independently wealthy. But then she meets Luke Bennett. With his hard body and even harder attitude to life, he poses a challenge and awakens a hunger she didn't know she had...

'Luke is only visiting Singapore for a week and Madeline knows she's playing with fire. He is as roguish as he is seductive, and if she unleashes this bad boy's passion she'd better learn how to tame it - otherwise she's the one who'll end up getting burned.'

'But Jacob will go to extremes for those he loves, and Jianne is the only woman who can bring this honorable warrior to his knees. Can they delve beneath their red-hot desire and blazing anger to find the love that has always been hiding?'
