The stranger explains that he's going to tie her up and take some things, and that she will not be harmed.

But when he attempts to steal some of her most prized possessions, including a video that could permanently affect her life, she offers him something even more valuable instead: her body.

EXCERPT:

"Oh god," she moaned, crying. "Oh my god, please let me go, please just leave."

"Okay," he said. "I'll just take the sable and your phone and the computer and go." He stood up. "Nice meeting you, Elena."

"Wait! No!" she said. "Please, please don't."

"Listen," he said. "I'm getting tired of this. You just keep crying, don't, don't. You better tell me what you do want me to do."

"Don't make me say it!" she said.

"Say what? There's nothing to say yet. I offered you one fair trade, would you like to make another?"

"Yes!" she said desperately.

"And what do you want to offer?" He was still smiling.

"Okay," she said, sniffling again, blinking her eyes. "My panties. My panties for the sable."

Now they face the choice of their lives. Give in to love? Or go for the JACKPOT?

THE PRINCESS. . .
One reckless teenage night, well-to-do April Hollis tempted a boy from the wrong side of the tracks, and it changed her life forever. Motorcycle riding, leather jacket-clad Jesse Cawthorne was everything her family forbade: poor, dangerous, with no future that they could see. A man who would only break April?s heart. But April couldn?t resist Jesse, and they spent a lost, tempestuous summer together.

THE PAUPER. . .
As summer turned to fall, however, Jesse realized April was playing with his feelings, and his terrible pride forced them apart. He believed she was what he?d always thought: a spoiled, little rich girls from Windsor Estates. And knowing he would never fit into her wealthy world, he fled.

THE RECKONING. . .
Now, ten years later, Jesse was back, and he and April were forced to confront the same impossible passion that had once held them in thrall . . . and damn the consequences.

Romantic suspense with paranormal elements

Eliot Kane fears he's a modern day Jekyll and Hyde.

Eliot dreams in graphic detail about choking a woman. The next day, he learns that woman is the victim of a brutal murder. From his dream Eliot knows details about that murder that haven't been released to the public, details only the killer can know. He seeks the help of psychiatrist Leanne Warner to learn if he's a murderer, if he has a personality split and a monster named Edward lives inside his brain. Eliot doesn't dare love Leanne because Edward wants to kill her.

Leanne looks out her bedroom window in the middle of the night and sees Eliot Kane leaning against a tree, watching her. He straightens when he sees her, stands erect and returns her gaze. In the pale glow from the corner street lamp, his eyes seem to blaze. She can almost feel the hatred coming from him. Evil surrounds him like an aura. It's there in his stance, in the tilt of his head, in the very air around him, and it's directed toward her.

But that's crazy. Eliot doesn't hate her. Is she looking at Edward?

All Lexi wants to do is get through the day at her boring temp job with Green Hand Insurance. That's until she discovers the vice president, Martin Dean, in a pool of blood and herself at the center of an investigation into insurance fraud.

Millions of dollars are missing, the chief suspect is dead and her mysterious, sexy, new boss is not what he seems.

Recruited by the joint task force working on the case, all Lexi has to do is work out who killed Dean and where the missing millions are. That's easier said than done when her sister insists upon the baby shower to end all baby showers, her wise-ass cop family just wants to keep her safe, someone keeps leaving her creepy gifts, and all the clues point to a seedy sex club on the wrong side of town.

As the bodies start to pile up, Lexi is on a race against time to find the killer and the money, before she's the next one in the murderer's sights.
