I’ve been writing about sex for most of my life, if you count my first secret, and mercifully unpublished, diary. Since the 1990’s, I’ve been writing erotic short stories, erotic novels, and most recently, erotic romance for Virgin Books.

Tia and Mark have a unique arrangement: Tia spends half her time doing whatever she wants. The other half, she follows Marks very explicit instructions. Tia thinks her life is perfect until she takes on a new project. Her roommate Noelle is desperate for help with her brother Jeremy. After dropping out of college, Jeremy needs guidance, supervision, and a place to live. Noelle thinks that Tia would be the perfect babysitter for a 22-year-old wild child. Suddenly she’s caught in an erotic double-bind between Mark, the master of mind games, and Jeremy, the gifted and impulsive boy wonder.

Between her studies and her job as a bike messenger, Hailey hasn't had time to do much more than a voyeur watching her own species at play in the city's nightclubs. Everything changes when she meets Noah and Cade, two very sexy men who will overturn her views on human mating games. But Hailey knows a lot more about mating games than they realize and, before they know it, she's the one doing the hunting - with Cade, Noah, and a rugged big cat handler named Rick as her prey. By the end of the summer, three men will have survived Hailey's crash course in female sexuality, and the top student will be selected as her mate.
