For many women, having a handsome, pleasant boss is a plus; having two is twice as good. But for Kim Ryan, two gorgeous bosses is double the distraction in her job as an architect at D & K Associates.

When Kim comes across the 1 Night Stand service she hopes indulging in the fantasy that haunts her-making love to men who resemble both her bosses-will quell her improper dreams.

Best friends and business partners Jack DeWitt and David Kiyomasa never could understand the sexual attraction to one another that hit them out of left field. But they enjoyed the best of both worlds as they studied then worked toward opening their own architectural firm.

Neither expected the decision to add a residential design department to their successful business would bring Kim Ryan into their offices and dredge up odd dreams of another time and place-a place in feudal Japan where they shared a passion that consumed them whenever she was around.

Roberta "Bobbie" Richardson is looking for a mechanic to work in her floundering auto repair shop. Fiercely independent, the last thing she wants is to get tangled up in an affair of the heart. Then into Bobbie*rsquo;s garage walks the irresistibly sexy Justin Hastings. Once upon a time, Justin worked at the garage when he and Bobbie were in high school. That was before he left his home, his job, and the budding romance that he-d begun with Bobbie to join the Marine Corps.

Justin has returned home to start his civilian life and renovate the recently inherited house he grew up in, but he has an even bigger goal on his mind. He desperately wants to try to win custody of his daughter who is now living with her wealthy grandmother, nicknamed The Barracuda. Bobbie-s business is failing and Justin-s custody case appears to be hopeless-.seems like a match made in heaven.

Justin offers to return to his former job and help Bobbie get the business back on its feet, in exchange for one thing-he wants her to marry him to boost his chances in the custody battle. The sparks start to fly and their relationship heats up when the couple is forced to live under the same roof in order to convince Social Services that their relationship is legitimate.

Justin and Bobbie may have entered into this marriage of in-convenience for all the wrong reasons, but in every other way this funny and endearing happily-ever-after tale by Barbara Sheridan is oh-so-right

A mercenary for the past decade, Mikhail Volkov is a man without a country and that suits him just fine. Playing by his own rules, on his own terms, for the price he sets, is the way he likes it best. But when a CIA contact dangles a carrot he can't resist to entice him into a clandestine search-and-rescue, Mikhail is brought face–to-face with the biggest foe he has yet to vanquish: his own loneliness.

Growing up, Devon ‘D’ Dearborn planned to follow in his father's footsteps as part of the Army's Delta Force. Once commissioned, D's own ambitions took root and he became a top-level tank commander, occasionally serving as a go-between for his CIA-employed brother and a sexy Russian mercenary. When his doubts about his chosen career and his own sexual desires impacted the perfection he demanded of himself, D resigned his commission and exchanged his Abrams tank for an 18-wheeler.

After six years, the last face D expects to see when he pulls his rig into a truck stop is that of Mikhail Volkov. D wants nothing to do with his brother's cloak-and-dagger job, but the temptation of working alongside the Russian is too hard to resist. And so is the sexy Russian.
