"Usual heated sexual and at times amusing erotic romances"

Simon Says by Jane Thompson. "Frat boy" columnist Simon needs to know why reserved librarian Georgina hates him so as she put him down when they first met at her cousin's party three weeks ago and now again at another gala. He investigates to learn how he wronged her, but instead discovers her secret that she writes erotica under an alias. He wants to make her fantasies (and his) real.

Bite of the Wolf by Cynthia Eden. On their first meeting, werewolf Gareth informs Trinity that she is his soulmate, but instead of jumping into his arms, she writes him off as an attractive lunatic. Thus he takes extreme measures by kidnapping the woman he insists he cherishes, but has his work cut out convincing her they belong together, which includes out of bed too.

Falling for Trouble by Saskia Walker. Police officer Oliver wants to help Sonia's brother before he gets into trouble. He concocts a plan that Sonia's agrees to help him with, but neither expected the scheme to twist into the greatest sexual encounter of their lives.

The Disciplinarian by Leigh Court. Her family is concerned with her un-lady like behavior so they send Clarissa off to learn from the Disciplinarian the deportment of an obeying spouse. However, besides teaching obedience, her instructor also trains her in providing sexual pleasure.

These four novellas, though different in sub-genre, provide the usual heated sexual and at times amusing erotic romances that make this series always one of the best.
