"Heated romance"
Real estate attorney Mallory Sinclair has worked
extremely hard for the last eight years at the Waldorf,
Haynes, Greene, Meyers & Latham law firm. She is one year
away from becoming a partner, but the cost has been high,
as Mallory has buried most of her emotions. Her ultimate
objective is to gain her father's respect.
Jack "The Terminator" Latham is a partner at the
prestigious law firm. He is known for his uncanny ability
to sever marriages beneficially in favor of his clients.
Between his work and his parents' relationship, Jack thinks
marriage is worthless and women less than that.
The company's largest account is that of Paul
Lederman, but he is beginning to look elsewhere for his
legal services. Paul needs a good divorce attorney and has
asked Jack to visit with him. The partners send Mallory
along to help Jack keep Paul in the fold. When the two
lawyers meet Paul's wife, Mallory acts frosty as if the
lady does not matter. Jack accuses Mallory of being frigid
so she counter challenges him to a battle of the boudoir
even if it means costing her the legal partnership she once
coveted. The key to EROTIC INVITATION, the first Midnight
Fantasies tale, is the vulnerable and scarred lead
protagonists. Their life-altering week together is more
than a catharsis as both realizes that you must take care
of yourself, but a warm caring relationship makes it easier
and more satisfying to do so. Carly Phillips shows her
ability to melt two icebergs through the heat of love.

SummaryMidnight Fantasies
Seduced by a stranger...
Lawyer Mallory Sinclair wants a partnership—almost as much
as she wants fellow attorney Jack Latham. Unfortunately,
she's worked so hard at making it in a man's world, that
nobody's aware that she's even a woman—a very sensual
woman. But Jack's about to find out, big time. Because
Mallory's about to send him an invitation he can't
refuse...
Jack can't believe it! Underneath Mallory's power suits
lies a temptress—one determined to seduce him! Not that
Jack's complaining... Only, this new Mallory is so
uninhibited, so blatantly sexy, Jack can't help wondering
if he's sleeping with a stranger, instead of the colleague
he's known for years. Still, he'd like their liaison to
continue—if only he knew which woman would end up sharing
his bed...
