Symbiotics Series

Colliding with a gorgeous man in London's National Gallery leads Annie to sharing days of steamy passion with him. Even when she discovers that Vin owns the company buying hers, she can't get him out of her mind—or her bed. Vin's worries are piling up—the company he's buying has financial problems verging on the criminal, and he could lose his sight from an infection. There's a slim chance he could see again, as slim as the prospect of keeping Annie, once he discovers it's her company with the problems. But he can't stop wanting her. Can't stop taking her to bed and claiming her as his own. His instincts tell him Annie is innocent, so he takes a new complication in her life as a chance to keep her close—and safe from the danger that threatens her. But Annie won't let him take control of her life. She wants to prove her innocence, even at the expense of the man who took everything she had to give, and came back for more.

Even she won't want him when she discovers the truth. Unless they find the man who is blackmailing Yolanda, she's washed up, her precious job and her reputation gone forever. Only Lawrence has the contacts that can flush her blackmailer from the seamy undergrowth of the criminal underworld, and to do it he has to risk everything he's won over the years. Even her love.

Nick Taylor, poetry lecturer, used to be Mick O'Donnell, British gang leader. In search of a new life he's come to New York, and five years later, he's nearly there. He's kept clear of trouble, under the radar except for his visits to burlesque club Bared, and it's there he meets his nemesis. Beautiful, classy, irresistible. Trouble. Nick is unlike any professor Gen has ever met. They can't keep their hands off each other, even in the university library. Much less in the all-glass room in his apartment. Nick teases her with the total exposure she secretly craves, while always keeping her safe. But although Nick needs to draw on all his resources when Gen finds herself in deep, unexpected and deadly trouble. It might end his clean start, but if he doesn't risk all he's worked for, and draw the kind of attention that could mean his death, the woman he's grown to love will die.

At first, all they can do is look at each other through the thick glass panels of a hospital isolation ward. Then they agree to take a journey together, exploring each sense, one by one… By agreement, they torture each other with one sense at a time. When they are released from hospital and finally get together, nothing can stop the combustive passion that burns them through the night. But a shadow from Poppy's past threatens her life, and if Jim can't break the ingrained habits of a lifetime, he will lose her. And if Poppy doesn't reassess her life, Jim could leave it before they learn what they really have. Sigh, sound, scent, touch, taste—so what's the sixth? They won't find out until they get there.
