Hot Nights, Dark Desires
by Eden Bradley, Stephanie Tyler, Sydney Croft

Inspired by the sultry heat and sensual ambiance of New Orleans, this steamy collection delves into the erotic underground of the Big Easy. Here is a tantalizing trio of stories by three rising stars that will tease your imagination—and seduce your senses.

Lush, haunting, and provocative, New Orleans has something to satisfy every desire—as three very lucky women are about to discover. In "Shadow Play" an ex-supermodel desperate to revive her career seeks the help of a gorgeous, reclusive photographer with a special gift—and offers him anything he wants in return. The result is a series of erotic positions captured on film—along with a mind-blowing physical connection neither expected.... In "The Art of Desire" a sheltered young woman turned on by the idea of getting tattooed dares to make her fantasy a reality. But as her arousing sessions with a dangerously handsome tattoo artist move from the tattoo parlor to the bedroom, they make an impression that's more than skin deep.... And in "Night Vision" when artist Catie Lanford hires professional cooler Bat Kelly to whip the failing bar she's recently inherited into shape, she's not looking for a lover—until she lays eyes on the sexy wild man. Soon they've agreed to mix business with pleasure, and Catie discovers that Bat is just what she needs to set her artist's imagination—and her body—on fire.

Abandon your inhibitions and excite your spirit with a gathering of tales that's as sexy and spicy as the city of New Orleans itself.

Eden Bradley's Bio

I've been reading and writing for as long as I can remember. When I was 3 1/2, even though I wasn't quite clear yet on my alphabet, I decided there were never enough adults around to read to me and demanded to be taught to read myself. My Auntie Mo took the time to teach me. At age eight, I volunteered for summer school so I could take a creative writing class. My friends thought I was crazy; all they wanted to do was climb trees, go roller skating, swim. But I knew even then that what I was doing was even better.

I wrote my first novel at age twelve with a good friend who is also still writing, as far as I know. At a sleepover at her house, instead of sleeping, we stayed up all night crafting a rather horrible romance novel. Hopefully I've improved since then, and I now have enough sense to sleep at night and write during the day. Usually.

I didn't get serious about my writing until the summer of 2000. I went into it writing romance novels, since that was what I thought I could sell, but eventually I returned to what I truly love: writing erotica, and eventually blended erotica and romance in many of my books. It's been a difficult and wondrous journey, learning about the craft and business of writing, but well worth it. And now, here I am, doing what I love.

Fortunately, someone other than myself loves my work, too. I write for Harlequin Spice, Berkley Heat, Bantam/Delta, Samhain Publishing and Phaze Publishing. Sometimes it's a struggle, but mostly it's wonderful and exhilarating. I also love to cook, eat, go to the beach, hang out with friends, shop—especially for shoes—and read everything I can get my hands on. I'm fascinated by art, tattoos, and what goes on inside people's minds, which is what I love to explore in my books. I live in Hollywood and love the heat and energy of L.A., although I'm dying to travel more, and would love to spend a few months at an Italian villa, cruising the Greek islands, or exploring Southeast Asia. Meanwhile, I get to write, and someone actually reads my books, which is a pretty good life!
