Scale the heights of emotion and the depths of desire with this collection of the very best lesbian romance writing of the year. Essential reading for anyone who cherishes the highly imaginative, the deeply sensual, and the very loving, this anthology is as remarkable for its great writing as it is for its exuberant sexiness. 

In “Femme Fatale,” Kathie Bergquist tells the story of a first date gone terribly wrong until it heads in exactly the right, delicious direction. For readers who have almost given up on ever falling in love, KI Thompson’s “The Usual” illustrates that you never know when you might meet “the one.” Other stories offer chance encounters, such as Olivia Presley’s tempting tale, “The Traveler” and Ariel Graham’s spooky sexy “A Ghost of a Chance.” If variety is the spice of life, then this is the spiciest set of lesbian romance stories to date! 

Kathie Bergquist, Teresa Noelle Roberts, KI Thompson, Karin Kallmaker, Shanna Germain, Andrea Dale, Rakelle Valencia, Maggie Kinsella, Alison Tyler, Kay Jaybee, Rachel Kramer Bussel, Shannon Dargue, Jennifer Fulton, Evan Mora, Catherine Lundoff, Ariel Graham, Olivia Presley, Sacchi Green, Allison Wonderland, Elspeth Potter, and Radclyffe.

What do you do when you wake up to a whole new life…with dangerous urges you can’t control?

Medic Drake McKennan has never been good at following protocol, so she doesn't think twice about rendering emergency care when a teenager's life is at stake—even if the young girl is in the throes of Were fever and any sane human should know better. It isn't the bright shining pain of the bite or even the wrenching agonies of the fever that convinces her everything in her life has changed. It's the way she feels about the blonde with the wolf-gold eyes who awakens a dark hunger she can't contol...and doesn't want to. Sylvan, the Alpha of the Adirondack Timberwolf Pack—the one female Drake can't have. And the only one she craves.

The winds of fortune are fickle guides…and happiness or heartbreak may be the destination.

For Provincetown local Deo Camara, the only winds that have ever blown her way have been cold and lonely. Despite a decade of estrangement, however, Deo can’t turn her back on the call of blood, no matter how high the price in heartache. Dr. Nita Burgoyne has her own family secrets, a past so painful she starts a new life in hopes of leaving it behind. She has a rewarding new job and an historic sea captain’s house in need of renovation--all she needs to be content. Or so she thinks, until she hires Deo to head up the renovations. They have nothing in common except a shared legacy of betrayal by those they’d trusted the most, and an impossible attraction they would both prefer to ignore. Meanwhile, Nita’s new associate, Dr. Tory King, and her partner, Sheriff Reese Conlon, must cope with the aftermath of the winds of war and the approaching fury of a very real gathering storm.

Take three friends, add two ex-lovers and several new ones, then mix with more secrets than any of them know—and the result is a recipe for explosive rivalries and incendiary romance. 

Attorney Liz Ramsey thought she had everything—a devoted partner, a challenging job, and plans for a family in the making.  Unfortunately, her life takes a turn, and she ends up alone and in the kind of trouble she never dreamed of.  When she bumps into—literally— young surgeon Reilly Danvers during an appointment at the University Hospital, conversation leads to an offer of coffee, and in a moment of weakness, Liz accepts.  But there's no danger in that, right?  It's just coffee. 

Liz's two best friends offer all the support she needs, but they have secrets of their own.  Candace Lory is a high-powered commodities trader and swinging playgirl who meets her match when she hooks up with corporate attorney, Parker Jones.  Parker is as much a swinger as Candace but try as they might, the two can't seem to stop repeating their one-night stand. Brenda Beal writes best-selling erotic romance novels under a pseudonym even her closest friends don't know.  One of the only members of "the group" who didn't sleep with every available woman during college, Bren would rather fantasize about a perfect lover, especially if she's obedient and willing to do anything Bren orders.  A surprise birthday "trip" and a dashing dark-eyed submissive transform Bren's fantasies into reality and her dark secrets into delicious pleasures. 

Together the three friends struggle to heal their lonely hearts and broken dreams.

Leslie Harris’s visit to her upstate New York lakeside family home after a decade of triumphs and disappointment resembles a nightmare more than the quiet vacation she’d hoped for. The unexpected appearance of much-changed town bad girl Devon Weber, with whom Leslie shares a secret that haunts them both, rekindles an old heart ache—and reminds Leslie of just why she left. Even though her attraction to Dev comes roaring back, the one thing Leslie doesn’t want is to pick up where they left off, especially not when she already has just the life she wants—a rewarding high-power law practice, a condo in Manhattan, and a  lover who satisfies her without demanding the intimacy Leslie avoids.  Unfortunately, environmental biologist Devon Weber doesn’t play by Leslie’s rules.

Two women whose lives turned out far differently than they’d once imagined discover that sometimes the shape of the future can only be found in the past—and love is strongest When Dreams Tremble.

Her search takes her deep into the shadow worlds of counter-intelligence where even a friend might be a foe. While Cam struggles to uncover the traitor’s trail, Blair wages her own war to prevent the woman she loves from becoming a scapegoat during the chaotic aftermath of 9/11. Not just honor, but their future together, is on the line as Blair and Cam join forces with their loyal friends to strike back at the terrorists. Read a review

With the nation on the verge of war, security takes on new meaning for Secret Service Agent Cameron Roberts, whose lover just happens to be the President’s daughter. 

First daughter Blair Powell and her “secret” Secret Service agent lover, Cameron Roberts, intend to get married—with her father’s blessing. But being in the spotlight isn’t the safest place to be in a country still reeling from 9/11 and with the domestic terrorists who tried to assassinate Blair still at large. Cam doesn’t want to give up the reins of control when Blair’s life is at stake, but there are other dangers at home and abroad that the President needs her to investigate—including the whereabouts of her previous lover—Valerie Ross. 

The next in the Honor series is novel of romance and intrigue in a world gone mad.

All Cameron Roberts and Blair Powell want is a small, intimate wedding, but the paparazzi and a domestic terrorist have other plans. 

First Daughter Blair Powell and her lover Cameron Roberts, newly appointed deputy director of the Homeland Security Office, escape to a ski chalet in the Rockies after a harrowing attack by members of a domestic terrorism organization. Under orders from the White House, Blair reluctantly allows a member of the "enemy camp," investigative reporter Dana Barnett, to join her inner circle in the hopes of limiting her media exposure. Dana isn't any happier about being pulled from her coverage of the escalating conflict in the Middle East to write a society "fluff piece," although the presence of beautiful Dr. Emory Constantine does make the assignment a little more enticing.

With the nation under attack, the world on the verge of war, and their personal lives the focus of intense public scrutiny, Cam and Blair come under fire both publicly and privately when an old nemesis resurfaces intent on finishing his holy mission—to kill Blair Powell.

The seventh in the Honor series.
