HET EROTIC ROMANCE
Stealing Northe
Two outlaws and one widow turn to each other for comfort, but nobody expects lust to become a love affair...
Amy Northe hasn’t known a man’s company in the six years since her husband died. That all changes the night her son comes in from chores with two strangers in tow. Kenneth and Leon are seeking shelter, and though Amy wants to turn them away, she can’t. There’s a blizzard moving through the Utah mountains, and Leon’s busted ankle has him teetering on the edge of consciousness. She does the only thing she can and takes them in, unaware of the secrets these young men hide.
Kenneth doesn’t want to take advantage of the older woman’s hospitality, even though she’s the most beautiful woman he’s ever seen. But Leon needs help and Amy is a nurse. If he has to satisfy his desire for her in the form of covert trysts with Leon, then that’s what he’ll do, especially since he’s too much of a gentleman to ever think of making advances on her.
Until Amy makes one herself. Then everything changes...for all three of them.
Querida
Maddy Terrell is forty years old with an adult son and a time-consuming career. The last thing she is looking for is a relationship.

But the ride she was counting on has just stood her up, and her only choice is to accept a lift from Tonio Herrera.
He’s Latino. He’s hot. He’s also twenty-four, just too much of a stretch for Maddy to even contemplate, no matter how attracted she is to him.
Tonio’s not driving Maddy to San Francisco out of the kindness of his heart. In fact, he has a very specific ulterior motive. Maddy is the most attractive woman he has ever met. After months of flirting, he’s determined that this weekend in San Francisco will finally get her attention.
Then comes the hard part—convincing Maddy he wants more than just a weekend fling.
