Risky Lovers

Dangerous Rescue Leads to Love and Desire in Love Trade, a High-Stakes Contemporary Romance by Mallory Rush. Las Vegas, 1995 and the country of Zebedique. Rand Slick, a Wall Street mogul with a deeply buried past, has a missing sister to find and a promise to keep. He knows exactly where Sarah is: Zebedique, an international haven for the White Slave Trade. His contacts in high places have guaranteed him a seat at an upcoming private auction. Rand can easily take care of the unlimited line of credit required. What's missing is a female PI willing to be kidnapped, stripped and auctioned to make contact with his sister. Rachel Tinsdale is only 23, the ink still wet on her PI license, when Rand Slick walks through the door of her low-rent office. He's a smooth operator with some dangerously rough edges...and he is willing to pay a handsome sum. He's way out of her league, just as Rand knows she could really mess with the man he's become-one who has the instincts of a shark, the ethics of a snake, and the hunger of a wolf. Purchased for $2 million, Rachel plays the role of concubine love slave. But as the time draws near to execute the daring rescue, neither expect to find all that is missing within themselves and a love affair with an explosive mixture of danger and desire.

A Misdiagnosis Leads to Love Lessons and Discovery of True Love. Mobile, Alabama and various Caribbean islands. Twenty-seven-year-old children's librarian, Whitney Smith, has six-months to live-or so she thinks. Shunning treatment, she chooses to live out her bucket-list in the time she has left. Topping her list is losing her embarrassing virginity to a fabulous lover with whom she can have a mad, passionate (albeit temporary) affair on an exotic Caribbean island. Dr. Eric Townsend, a renowned and brilliant volcanologist with a taste for danger, is entranced with the self-assured and sensual Whitney, so much so that he's fallen deeply in love and wants a permanent relationship. Whitney returns to Mobile, feeling ill and preparing to die only to discover her disease is treatable, and her most recent illness is a temporary condition called pregnancy. Broke, jobless and having presented herself as a fraud to the man who loves her, Whitney reaches out to Eric to see if he can love the "real" her in the hope of a genuine and lasting happy-ever-after. But love has many lessons. Publisher's Note: This story is a re-write of a story titled Love Play, set in the 1990s. Refreshingly free of modern technology, the story concludes in the present with some delightful surprises and a connection to Love Trade, book one in this series.

But Greg knows he is not the type of man Chris needs, yet he can't stop his heart from aching for her and the family she possesses, and Chris plans to take her "Daddy Search" back to her hometown, along with a secret growing inside of her.
