HOT NIGHTS IN THE BIG EASY

In the sultry heat of New Orleans, a masked man stalks his next prey...private investigator Claire Lécuyer. In order to protect her, FBI agent Michael Murrieta--the descendant of a real masked legend--must go undercover at her hiding place...a sensual retreat, where decadence and sin beckon from every room.

Once immersed in this world of pleasure, Claire and Michael find themselves teased by the languidly sexual environment--and their blazing attraction to each other. But even as they "mask" their true identities, it's too late.

Now Claire and Michael are caught up in the danger...and their desire. And the longer they stay in the sensuous world, the more dangerous it is!

I found this story to be a good read in which Ms. Leto penned her two main characters to fit perfectly together in my opinion. I loved how Claire LaCuyer, a PI, was a go-getter and quite independent in which she set out to not only find a runaway mom who skipped out on her husband and children without another thought, but also she was on the hunt for a serial rapist. When FBI Special Agent Michael Murrieta en

Too Hot to Touch

The spirit of a masked legend lives on…

Art expert Alex Aguilar is an honest man. When he inherits an auction house dealing in shady merchandise, he's desperate to catalog everything before the goods tarnish his sterling reputation. But even if the merchandise isn't exactly hot, his scorching new assistant, Lucienne Bonet, definitely is. Too bad his pesky moral code means he has to keep his hands off…or does he?

Lucienne isn't quite what she seems. She's a thief and she's after a very valuable ring that once belonged to a legendary masked hero…Alex's ancestor. But as Alex deliciously undoes her plans— and her clothes—Lucienne realizes that eventually, her mask will have to come off, too!

I really enjoyed Ms. Leto's storyline and I hoped that Abby would be able to convince Danny Burnett, her former bad boy boyfriend who was also a thief, to give her back the heirloom painting he stole from her five years ago. But it seemed that once they saw each other again their attraction for one another was undeniable. Overall, this was a good read for me and it helped me to escape for a few hours. Ms. Let
