    <![CDATA[Michael St. James is something of a cad, and now he's paying for it, banished to a backwater, post-colonial Virginia town for his sins. Happily, he finds something to occupy his time in the form of Daniel Calhoun, a stiff-necked local squire who simply begs to be taken down a notch for his arrogance. The two begin a torrid affair, and Michael pushes them to the very edge of social extinction with his wild ways, drawing Daniel into mischief at every turn. Eventually Michael realizes that he teeters on the very brink of ruining Daniel's life as thoroughly as he has his own, and decides to do the honorable thing. Will it be too late for him to convince Daniel he can do the right thing? Or will Daniel Calhoun decide perhaps he doesn't want a gentleman after all? <br/>]]>

    <![CDATA[Jed and Ross Thatcher live charmed lives.   They both do what they love, they both have anyone they want, and neither one of them is tied down. Then Jed meets Eli Marshall, and his nice quiet life as a pilot and hobby farm owner goes to hell in a handbasket. Eli is a smoke jumper, a man who parachutes into wildfires for a living. Too bad he's not ready to jump into Jed's bed as easily as he does a burning forest. Eli frustrates Jed as much as he arouses. Standoffish and prickly, Eli makes it hard to get to know him, but Jed is determined. And he always gets what he wants.  Meanwhile, younger brother Ross is following in his big brother's footsteps in more ways than one. An Army paratrooper, Ross is making a name for himself at jump school. Though he's always been fond of women, it's Kevin O'Donnell who really makes him hot, makes Ross start thinking of forever type things as soon as they meet in the middle of a barroom brawl.   Wild as the Colorado landscape they both love, Ross and Jed live hard, love harder, and fight often. Can they make it work with men as stubborn and independent as they are?]]>

    <![CDATA[Jed Thatcher figures there comes a point when a man has to think about changing career paths. Especially when that man is his. Eli Marshall loves his job as a smokejumper, though, and isn't convinced her should move on to something safer. Besides, he figures Jed's own job of flying tourists into snowstorms isn't all that much better.  While they wrangle over that, Jed's brother Ross has a problem of his own to sort out. His boyfriend Kevin is having second thoughts about their life together, and it's causing a rift Ross isn't sure they can breach.   The brothers struggle with their problems and live their lives day to day with a cast of unforgettable characters, from all too knowing moms to a pack of adoring dogs. The Thatchers of Jumping Into Things are back, and there's nothing these good old boys can't handle as long as they stick together, even if it does seem like they might not land on their feet this time.]]>

    <![CDATA[The Thatchers are back! That's right, the family that won our hearts in Jumping Into Things and Landing with Both Feet return for the final book in the Thatchers saga, with all of the love, life, and squabbling we expect from these larger than life folks!  Ross Thatcher has been through a rough time. His lover, Kevin, has left him, and it's too hard to stay in Colorado with his family, who are all blissfully happy with their lives and loves. So Ross wanders the country, visiting friends and working odd jobs. At least until his truck breaks down in small town Texas.  Tank is a mechanic who loves life, running his own salsa business, and bass fishing. When Ross is stranded on his doorstep, Tank offers a dose of Texas hospitality, giving him a place to stay, and a bond of friendship that grows quickly into something more.   The holiday season has Ross taking Tank to Colorado to meet the family, but it's a family emergency that keeps Ross there, forcing him to choose between his family ties and his new romance. Can Ross find a way to do what he has to for his brothers and keep Tank in his life?]]>

    <![CDATA[If you like Julia Talbot, this is the book for you! Bound in one volume are four historical tales. Gentleman of Substance, Post Obsession, and two shorter stories, Remembering Pleasure and Thrust and Riposte.  In Gentleman of Substance, colonial America has never been hotter than when gentrified Michael meets country bumpkin Daniel and sparks fly. The two are irresistibly drawn to one another, but will their love ruin their lives? Post Obsession gives us Markus, a bored aristocrat who begins to receive some very steamy letters from an admirer. Will the intrigue and interest continue when he meets his mysterious writer in person?  Remembering Pleasure sees Alistair forgetting what a man's touch feels like as he does his duty to wife and title. He begins to remember the pleasure of it all when his best friend, Griff, sends him a very special stable hand to help him out. And in Thrust and Riposte, swordsman Rene Godard finds ways to challenge his young pupil's tutor Owen Tregarth, at every turn. Whether fencing with swords or words, these two duel happily, but can they survive the trouble that comes with kidnapping and strife?   Read the best of Julia Talbot in Historical Obsession today!]]>

    <![CDATA[When Christian arrives in Egypt as the man Friday to an eccentric American, he's hoping to get his chance to make history and establish his name in archaeology. What he doesn't count on is meeting brash hired gun, Eric Lawless, and falling into an uneasy partnership. He thinks Eric is a boor. Eric thinks he's a prude. Sparks fly, leading to a night of passion that Christian has no intention of repeating. Too bad he can't resist Eric's rough charm.   He's not ready for what their digging exposes either. The spirits of ancient Egypt are stirring, raised by very modern men, leading him, and Eric, into a dangerous game of cat and mouse. One where old ghosts and older gods send them on a dance of deception and terror deep in the tombs of the Valley of the Kings.   Together, they must face their greatest fears, and their feelings for each other. Ancient artifacts, deadly snakes, and terrifying monsters stand in the way of what may be the greatest archaeological find any man has ever seen. Can they unearth the secrets of the tomb of the god king before they lose everything they hold dear?]]>

    <![CDATA[Louis certainly isn't perfect. He leaves his dirty towels on the floor. He doesn't wash dishes. But mostly he shuts Avery out, refusing to let his lover in to his most private thoughts. Avery wants a designer house, a sensitive man, and lots of open communication. Louis is just a rough working man with a good heart but gruff ways.   So is it really any surprise that Avery leaves him to look for his perfect lover? Both Avery and Louis move on, getting their lives back together slow but sure. Avery finds the refined, educated man he always thought he needed, and Louis starts dating a sweet, slob of a college kid. Both of them go back to school, intent on moving on, and on bettering themselves. They're dealing with their friends, their families, and learning that the qualities they thought they really wanted in a lover might not be so great after all.   Perfect is the tale of how these two hot headed, stubborn men come back together, learning to work at what they have. They start to see their differences as a strength, finally realizing that love doesn't have to be perfect to be good.]]>

    <![CDATA[ Big Roy is a hard rock miner with a not so secret love for the theater, so when he hears a new troupe of actors are coming to the Telluride opera house to put on a Shakespeare play, he saddles his mule and makes the trek into town to see it. The play doesn't disappoint, but the beautiful lead actor, Edward Clancy, certainly does. Clancy is rude and arrogant, and Roy figures he'd never have a chance with such a man. He's wrong, because Clancy needs some entertainment himself, being stuck in a Hellish mining town for the long, snowy winter. Come spring, though, Clancy knows he's going to want to move on, and he thinks Roy will be easy to forgot. Then tragedy strikes, and Clancy has to rethink his entire life. Can these two strike gold? <br/>]]>
