Being a single mother is not an easy task. I thought when I got married that things would stick, and that I'd married the man of my dreams. I didn't expect to be running around on my own with two kids trying to get them to and from day care and practices, and all sorts of different things.

I'm lying in bed one night, staring up at the ceiling, unable to sleep from anxiety. In a few hours, I'll be starting my new job at a successful company, and I'm concerned that my first day there could either make or break me. Soon, however, I find myself drifting off to sleep, and when I do, I have quite the Freudian nightmare. For whatever reason, I have the strangest dream of becoming intimate with my new boss, Mr. Jones, right in the middle of my new office, and I wake up screaming and soaked with sweat. And other fluids....

A mysterious highlander takes her by surprise - a wild man with a warrior's fury and a hidden magic, introducing her to the realm of sensual love. Her people had long known of the wolves in the Black Wood near her clan's territory, but what they didn't know, was the werewolf secrets deep within the heart of the forest. Ailsa meets adventure and misfortune, battling for her independence and for love.

A large part of why I work so much is because I want the best life possible for the two of us, and as I'm leaving the office late one evening, I try not to let myself feel too bad about it. That is, until suddenly I'm kidnapped and thrown into a van from right off of the street, and taken to an unknown facility scared out of my wits. When I next see light, I'm in a vacant brick room with a dirty concrete floor. And it just so happens that my kidnapper has some very sadistic things in mind for me....

Dee and her family take a trip to their Alaska home, where she has not been since she was a teenager. She hopes that the change of environment will be good for her during this vacation, but she is not prepared when she meets a neighbor of theirs there: the hot and handsome Jessie. The next day, she wanders around and gets lost in a sudden Alaskan blizzard. But luckily, Jessie finds her and takes her to a nearby cave for shelter.

This mindset of having to be a good little girl has made things difficult for me in the sexually charged atmosphere of the university campus, my v-card proving an impossible thing for me to get rid of due to my deeply enforced prudish nature. Things are about to change, however, when I follow up on an advertisement posted on a local bulletin board, thinking that I'm about to sign up for a medical study...when in actuality I find myself in the clutches of a green-skinned alien life form, whose probing of me will prove to be quite the intimate affair....

I'm about to attend the sexiest family reunion I've ever been to.... Willie and I...have a bit of a history together.... Living under the same roof as teenagers, in such close proximity, it seems - in hindsight - that it was inevitable for what happened between the two of us to have taken place.... Now, after all this time, I'm about to see him again. The two of us are planning to meet once more at a family reunion. Will he even be there? This suspense is unbearable....

In this work, set in 17th century France, we follow the adventures of young Louis, heir to the Count of Bigorre, after an encounter with the vindictive Marquis de Saint Brie forces him into exile. The tale wends its way inexorably towards the Battle of Marfee in the 30 years War and the death of the Count of Soissons in a failed coup against the much hated minister, Cardinal de Richelieu. Young love, a brush with the law, card sharks, a deadly avalanche - life is definitely interesting for the young adventurer.

Reading can give you a pretty dirty imagination if you're not careful.... Lindsay's always been something of a shy girl. She's 18 and a virgin, and not at all ready for her induction into the hyper-sexual world of college life. For whatever reason, she's always found the idea of sex with men intimidating. And although she finds women attractive, and is a lot more at ease in the presence of a female, she's never really come to consider herself a lesbian, either. Her introduction to her own sexuality, then, comes when she happens to discover a book series of erotic literature and finds herself fascinated by it.

Gabrielle has spent her entire life as a secret, closeted lesbian, and in her early 30s she feels she's missed her opportunity to explore her hidden fantasies. She works as a maker of dresses, largely as a means of showing her admiration for the female form, and begins to think that her job is as much a meaningless aspect of her life as any. There is one bright spot in her routine, however, and that comes in the form of her brightest and most chipper regular customer, 22-year-old blonde bombshell Elizabeth.
