She claims she wants his heart instead – but that's the one thing he can never give.

Talking Dirty With the Boss by Jackie Ashenden: Marisa Clair wants to get her artist dreams back on track after a life detour. That means no partying, no shopping...and definitely no men to distract her. Should be easy, but there's something about her hot and exceedingly uptight boss and she can't seem to stop herself from ruffling Mr. Tall, Dark and Irritating. Financial consultant Luke McNamara lives his life strictly by schedule – his OCD simply won't allow him to do anything else. And the very last thing he needs is a sassy blonde putting lipstick on his collar and messing with his routine. She annoys the hell out of him so why can't he stop thinking about the color of her panties...and how free he feels when he's with her? Marisa and Luke's plans to steer clear of one another are shot to hell after a hot office encounter. Now the two of them will have to learn to get along as they face a much more permanent reminder of their lack of self-control – a pregnancy.

‘Women should be obscene and not heard’ – John Lennon ‘The only unnatural act is that which you cannot perform' – Alfred Kinsey ‘Fat people are brilliant in bed: if I’m sitting on top of you, who’s going to argue?' – Jo Brand ‘What most women want is not a man who ties you to the bed but one who unstacks the dishes while you watch The Great British Bake Off’ – Harriet Harman Throughout the centuries, talk of sex has proved irresistible, producing wide-ranging responses, contradictory remarks, denouncements and appraisals; something seen as harmless by one is often condemned as damnable by another. Whatever your sexual preferences, Talking Dirty is a hugely entertaining treasury of wit on this endlessly entertaining and controversial topic.

"This debut romance sparkles." -- Library Journal on Unbuttoning the CEO TWO TICKETS TO PARADISE After some disappointing dates, Karen Ramirez has concluded that great sex is for other people. Especially since medical school won't leave her much time for romance anyway. Then she runs into tall, dark, charming, and ridiculously wealthy Mark Lansing--and quickly reconsiders celibacy. Adding to temptation? Mark will be the best man at her sister's wedding and the nuptial destination is sultry Puerto Rico. Now this trip might just be sensory overload--or the perfect chance for Karen to find the groove she's never had. For CEO Mark Lansing, his perfect match would be smart, sweet, and funny, with long legs and silky hair the color of dark chocolate. In short, someone a lot like Karen. But Mark's looking to settle down, while a relationship is the last thing on Karen's mind. So Mark proposes a plan: he and Karen will use their weekend in paradise to sizzling advantage--before downshifting to friendship. The only problem? Karen is all Mark can think of when he gets home. Now his most challenging negotiation will be for the one thing money can't buy . . .

I find something in my boss's desk that I was not supposed to, and then he walks in. I am about to find out that all these rumours are true...

I'm obsessed with my secretary. The way she walks. The way she looks at me. The way she says my name, especially when she says yes. Yes, Mr. Declan. I know better. I'm not just her boss, I'm the owner of the entire firm - and she's just barely out of college and out at her first job. Sweet. Inexperienced. Innocent. I don't just want Sloane. I want to own her, possess her, dominate her body and soul in every way I know how. Come hell or high water, I won't stop until she's mine. I've got a crush on my boss. I shouldn't. I know. I should find someone my own age to date, but I can't stop thinking about my dominant, commanding boss. Every time I walk into his office my knees turn to jelly. All I can think about is Mr. Declan bending me over his desk and taking me, making me his. I could get fired for this, but there's something in the way he looks at me, something in the way he speaks to me, something about him that makes me want to beg him for more. Please, Mr. Declan. Please. Boss Me Dirty is a very dirty standalone romance with tons of steam, an obsessed, dominant, alpha hero, a happily-ever-after ending and NO cheating!
