										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>Sexual addiction, exhibitionism, and voyeurism…Three best friends, three different wickedly delicious sexual needs.Lose your inhibitions and get ready for a wildly sexy ride…</em></p>
<p><strong>Sex Junkie</strong><br />
Abigail Summers is addicted to sex. Not by choice, but by her body’s demands. If she doesn’t have sex at least once a day, her body is wracked with unbearable withdraws. It’s not a lifestyle she chose for herself. When Colt Maverick walks into her life with his beautiful blue eyes, sexy as sin body, and possessive nature, she craves something more. Will he be enough to satisfy her insatiable desires?</p>
<p><strong>Shamelessly Bare</strong><br />
Meet Teagan Zanders; fun-loving, sexy, and an exhibitionist. He enjoys having someone watch while he and his partners are giving and receiving pleasure. To him, it’s the ultimate high and extremely arousing. He’s never been tempted to settle down with one woman. That is, until he meets Willow Bennett. Now all he can think about is showing her just how good it could be if she lost her inhibitions and let him put her on display.</p>
<p><strong>Hungry Eyes</strong><br />
Nathan is a watcher. There’s nothing more erotic than seeing desire on people’s faces as they writhe in pleasure or when their bodies tighten as they balance on the edge of ecstasy. He’s a loner, preferring to stay on the outside looking in. But from the first time he watched the woman in the apartment across from his, he knew she was different. She teases him with her soft touches and silent moans. Once he has her, there’s no way he’ll ever go back to simply watching.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I’ve silently watched her for a year, staying hidden in the shadows, biding my time.</p>
<p>She unknowingly became mine the moment my eyes touched her beauty.</p>
<p>But I’ve done things… things she may not be able to forgive.</p>
<p>I know all her secrets, her habits, her preferred coffee, what she does in her spare time, her favorite lingerie brand, and that she sleeps naked.</p>
<p>At night, I watch her from her window. During the day, I watch her from my computer. She innocently bares her heart and body to me, and I soak up every fucking second of it.</p>
<p>I’ve stayed away, but I’m tired of watching her from afar. It’s time Poppy finds out who I really am and what I’m willing to do to make her mine. She will be my wife. She will mother my children. I will claim every part of her heart, body, and soul.</p>
<p>Anything else is unacceptable.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Senior year was not going how I planned.<br />
It was supposed to be an amazing year—the perfect year.<br />
And it started out that way… until my mom remarried, and I found myself in a new town, at a new school, and living with quite possibly the most conniving person I had ever met.<br />
But my horrible stepbrother wasn’t even the worst part.<br />
It was his best friend.</p>
<p>Zayden Michaels.<br />
Gorgeous. Unpredictable. Treacherous.<br />
The kind of guy who sends most sane people running in the opposite direction.<br />
He hated me from the first moment he saw me.<br />
He made it his mission to make sure I knew it too.<br />
I became the target—the bullied.<br />
Until suddenly I wasn’t anymore.<br />
But in a world of rumors, games, and deceit, you never really know who you can trust.<br />
Sometimes the best deceptions are the ones you never see coming.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My name is Abigail Summers, and I’m addicted to sex. Yes, you read right. I’m a woman that craves… no, needs to have a man take my body on a daily basis. If I don’t have sex at least once a day, my body shakes from withdrawals, my stomach cramps with unbearable pain, my sexually hazed mind goes haywire, and I become extremely irritable and a major bitch. This isn’t a lifestyle I’ve chosen for myself. It’s a struggle I deal with every single day.</p>
<p>I don’t do relationships, because what man wants to be stuck knowing his girl may be out having sex with some random guy if he’s not available? You may think this is something that I can control, but I say screw you; you’ve never been in my shoes before.</p>
<p>The cravings may be something I can’t control, but I’ve learned to embrace them. I’ve tried the sexual addiction support groups. I’ve tried curbing my appetites. I’ve been shunned, criticized, ridiculed, and called every nasty name under the sun. Well, I say fuck all you judgmental assholes. I’ll have sex with who I want, when I want, where I want. Embarrassment? That’s a thing of the past. This is my life now, and those that don’t like it can go straight to hell.</p>
<p>But then he came along and screwed everything up. Colt Maverick. For once in my life, I want more, crave more from one guy. A guy that’s sweet and doesn’t match my hard interior. A guy that looks at me like he wants to eat me alive and claim me as his own. A guy that will most definitely not be okay with my addiction. A guy that I want over and over again, not because my body demands it, but because I demand it.</p>
<p>I now have a new addiction. But will he be enough to satisfy my uncontrollable desires?</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Years ago, I lost the two most important people in my life in a tragic accident. The event left me scarred in more ways than one.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Since then, I&#8217;ve become a recluse. If I let no one close, then I won&#8217;t fail again, like I did with my family. The mountain I live on is the only solace I allow myself.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">But then Gwen and her mute daughter and rambunctious son came along. Stranded on the side of the road during a snowstorm, I was forced to take them in.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It took only three days.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">No matter how gruff and withdrawn I was or how much I pushed them away, I became attached.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I couldn&#8217;t keep them.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">But when the snow melts, how can I possibly let them go when they make my cold, dead heart beat again?</span></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My name is Tegan Zander, and I like to… bare myself. Yes, you read that right. It’s not just me I want everyone to see, but also the lucky person I’m with at the moment. No, I don’t go around whipping out my junk and pulling up skirts to flash all the Joe Blows around. Give me some credit; I’m a bit more discreet than that. Barely. No, I like to be watched while fucking. I like knowing someone else is in the room, getting off on what my partner and I are doing. This is my sexual vice, and I fucking love it.</p>
<p>What I don’t do is relationships. I have too much fun in my bachelor life. I don’t want to be tied down to one woman when there are still so many out there to explore.</p>
<p>Willow Bennett was just a woman I helped on the side of the road. Nothing more, nothing less, even if her hot little body demanded attention from mine. I did my good deed, kissed those sweet lips, ground my jean-covered length against her softness, and left, expecting to never see her again.</p>
<p>But then, there she was, in her short skirt, tank top, and flip-flops, looking sexy as hell. She didn’t know it yet, but she was my next plaything. I was going to expose her along with me. I was going to show her just how good it could be if she lost her inhibitions and let me put her on display.</p>
<p>I don’t do relationships, but with this girl, I just might… expose my heart to her.</p>
