Now you get a chance to discover who he really is.

Appearances can be deceiving, even to those who think they know you. That’s a fact Troy McPherson counts on as he manages Hauberk’s international offices while occasionally being called upon in his other career: assassin. Having seen both sides of terrorism, his whole career has been about being invisible, even his name isn’t real. But one woman has seen the person he’s kept hidden behind his carefully-crafted mask. A woman who keeps her sensuality hidden from those she works with at Hauberk, Sandy Hallquist represents everything Troy’s dreamed of but never had — a home, stability. Love. Pity those are the last things she’s looking for.

Private Property
There’s nothing casual about this caper.
Jodi Tyler has loved and lost too many times to believe in happily ever after. That’s what makes her no-strings affair with her boss so perfect—his power in bed matches his respect for her independence. Still, when he surprises her with a ménage for her birthday, her secret thrill wars with a nagging thought: Why would he so casually share her with another man?
Even though Mark Rodriguez holds Jodi at arm’s length from his heart, her self-confidence is a turn-on he can’t resist. Inviting old college buddy and future business partner Sam into their bed for one night was supposed to set free her wildest fantasy. Instead he finds the tables turned, forced to watch while Sam brings her to the height of ecstasy.
Now, Mark’s not so sure he wants to share his treasure…
