Personal Research
2010
Briefs are Elena Thomas' life, whether they're legal at her day job or on the men in the erotic novels she writes.
She's just fine with saving her imagination for her books until temptation appears in the form of Nunzio, the smokin'-hot office IT guy.
When he discovers one of her scorching books shooting out of the printer, Elena's not sure if he wants her because she's inventive or because he thinks she's desperate. That doesn't stop her from taking advantage of his "services".
On her desk.
On the copier.
And, oh yeah-in her boss' chair.
Nunzio's shocked to learn Elena's wall-hugging persona hides a wildcat of a woman with delicious fantasies and an enticing wit. She's exactly what he's been looking for in an adventurous lover - and girlfriend.
He knows she enjoys their sexual research. Now he just has to convince her that sizzling sex is only the first chapter of their blazing-hot romance.

His Temporary Assistant
2021
To whom it may concern: I quit.
Preston Michael Shaw.
PMS, as I like to call him.
I don’t need his job. I don’t need his fancy designer suits or his arrogance or his claims that I put a hex on him, because of course a strong, empowered woman needs to put a spell on a man.
As if I want him.
Pfft. He should be so lucky.
I definitely don’t need his irritating demands for caramel-coconut coffee or his fixation on being on time.
Spoiler—I’m not, ever.
I certainly don’t appreciate how his touch singes my skin. Literally.
I need to stop obsessing about him. It’s just hormones.
One roll in the silk sheets and I’ll be over him.
But we can’t sleep together until my best friend—his real assistant—comes back from vacation.
Damn his admirable morals and my flaming panties.
And now I’ve been cursed, because I can’t resist the hottest, most annoying man I’ve ever known…
Author’s note: His Temporary Assistant is a standalone office romantic comedy set in our small town Kensington Square, which is near Crescent Cove. It has a happily-ever-after ending and no cliffhanger.

My Boss's Secret
2021
Sleeping with the hottest mystery man ever was my ultimate fantasy, until he became my boss…
I’m a good girl, the kind who didn’t hesitate to say yes to my beloved grandmother’s request to go with her to Fiji after she broke up with her fiancé.
Sun, sand, relaxation, who would say no?
But I never expected to meet a handsome, exciting stranger who wanted to give me the world.
Passion, mystery, so much pleasure, all at my fingertips.
For a night, I was his fairy tale Cinderella. But then the no strings we’d agreed on became awful sticky when I found out he’s my boss’s best friend and a powerful, millionaire divorce attorney to boot.
So, I ran. And I regretted it every second since.
The next time we met, it was outside my office building. He saved me from a fall, and for an instant, I was his Cinderella once again.
But he had a secret: he was going to be my new boss.
He wanted more from me. Everything. And this time, he wasn’t letting me go.

Desperately Seeking Kitty
2023
Looking to rent a pussy.
Say what?
I’d never seen an ad phrased quite like that before. Not only did it raise my eyebrows, but the late night attention it drew dangerously exceeded our kitten rescue’s bandwidth.
So I did my admin duty and sent the ad writer a warning message.
I didn’t have to send her personal messages.
Or have flirty chats on the phone.
I especially didn’t need to go to her place for late night…kitten calls.
I soon realized she might be exactly who I needed to get my matchmaking family off my back, if she would just attend an important event with me.
She told me over and over she wasn’t girlfriend material—fake or otherwise.
I didn’t listen.
And now I’m ready to put it all on the line to make sure my Kitty understands that our love is very real.
Let the fur fly.

His Favorite Mistake
2023
Speeding past my limits is all I want…I craved just one night to break out of the rhythm I've been stuck in for way too long. As a successful singer beyond my wildest dreams, I can’t help wanting more—to write my own music, to head into edgier territory, to have some fun.
Particularly the naughty kind that doesn’t match my innocent image.
An illicit joyride in a borrowed Porsche leads me straight to stern ex-Detective and current romantic suspense author Jed Knight, who has been straining at the confines of his own mold recently. After turning his back on being a cop, he’s been on the straight and narrow for too long—but he's ready and willing to show me the ropes.
And the cuffs.
His Favorite Mistake was formerly published as If You Dare by Cari Quinn and retooled.

Her Billionaire Bargain
2023
Hiring an interior designer to redo my McMansion led to me…falling in love with a total stranger?
And trying to figure out how to make her fall in love with me.
Shelby Wilde is a driven single mom who started an up-and-coming design firm, Designing Women, with three friends.
She is not looking for love. Or lust. Or my particular brand of chaos with a side of many happy moments while naked.
But in no time, I’m ready to give up my wild, freewheeling single days for her and her little girl.
She can still redesign my house. The only thing is, she needs to find a way to make herself and Berry part of the design.
Because I don’t want any home without her and the little girl I want to make my daughter.

#7
Challenge Accepted
2024
It started with a kiss cam.
Ok, back up a teensy bit, it really started with a terrible blind date. You know, the kind that becomes the reason you drink a little too much and text your girlfriends with all the crappy details. The kind of night where you fling your bra across the room in disgust.
Well…this time, Presley Warren lost her bra for a whole different reason.
A dare.
A challenge if you will.
Because the man sitting beside her during the blind date from hell actually kinda became her Knight in Shining Armor—or in this case a rather delicious tight black shirt.
Kissing a stranger in front of a crowd of strangers had not been on her itinerary. Or going home with this exciting man for the wildest, hottest night she’d ever had.
But what happens when she finds out her super hot hookup is a millionaire who wants to change her life out of bed too?
Author note: Challenge Accepted was formerly published as Double Dare by Taryn Elliott and retooled to fit in with our Kensington Square world. It's a standalone novella with a happily ever after.
