Once more these seasoned Brava authors take fantasy to new heights as they explore sensuality and sexuality in the most titillating, arousing ways.

In “From Russia, With Love,” Susan Johnson delivers with her trademark theme about a forbidden encounter between a married woman and a very sexy nobleman. Tatiana, the wife of a ruthless nobleman in Ivan the Terrible’s Russia, meets and falls in love with a man who teaches her the true depth of love—on a sexual and emotional scale. But once her husband learns of their trysts, danger mounts.

Revenge is sweet and oh-so-sexy in Thea Devine’s provocative “Her Lord & Master.” An erotic game is the means a woman uses to exact vengeance on a wicked libertine. It is time the jaded Earl of Wick marries, but he will not choose a woman in the traditional sense. “Lily pure virgins” must vie for the opportunity to be his wife, just the chance Jenise has been awaiting. However, as she uses her wits and her body to seduce the earl, she opens herself up to passion in ways she never imagines. You’ll find yourself riveted to the pages as the game is played out in all its hot, hot glory.

Katherine O’Neal puts an original spin on love and erotic romance in “Déjà vu.” Celia Wybourne, author of sensual novels, finds herself caught in a web of passion when she meets a mysterious, magnetic man on a trip to Gibraltar—a man who claims they are soul mates and were passionate lovers in the past. Celia begins reliving that past and the tragedy and betrayal that tore them apart. Just as their relationship is reaching fever pitch, they’re captured by his enemy. Celia must spin the most heated, stimulating erotic stories (a la Shaharazad) to keep them alive. Allow yourself to be swept away by the fresh plotline and scintillating images.
