Black Tie Seduction / Less Than Innocent (Desire 2 in #1)

1. Black Tie Seduction by Cindy Gerard

She and Jake were polar opposites. Which was why his insistence that they date made no sense to Christine. Yet, if she wanted that mysterious box he'd outbid her on during the town auction, having dinner with the sexy Texan seemed her only recourse.

Christine vowed she'd find something to throw Mr. Thorne-in-her-side's attention off her plan. Like the newly made-over Christine. And by his reaction to her little black dress, she'd found just the thing to keep his interest while she worked on a plan to steal away her prize. But was it possible catching Thorne would be her ultimate reward?

2. Less than Innocent by Shirley Rogers

Bitterness. Anger. Desire. Rancher Logan Voss tasted them all the minute he spied Melissa Mason. Ten years had passed since she'd tossed back his marriage proposal and high-tailed it to Houston. The way he felt seeing her again made it clear that time had not healed this wound.

So when she needed a place to stay, Logan saw his chance. Keeping Melissa and her crew at his ranch brought the two of them face-to-face, finally putting her in his power. And this time she wouldn't--couldn't--leave before he got the answers he wanted. And needed.
