Invitations to Seduction
by Janelle Denison, Vicki Lewis Thompson, Carly Phillips

Illicit Dreams by Vicki Lewis Thompson
You are cordially invited to experience the first seduction . . .

Lindsay Scott has a bad case of the hots for her sexy neighbor Hunter Jordan. And hearing his nightly activities through the apartment walls is only making her hotter. That is, until she discovers Sexcapades, a book of erotic invitations, and decides to turn up the heat herself . . .

Going All The Way by Carly Phillips
The endless seduction ...

Proper Southern belle Regan Davis was groomed to be a blushing bride, not a jilted one. But after picking up a copy of Sexcapades, she decides she's had enough. She's going to prove she's woman enough to seduce sexy Sam Daniels. And there'll be no blushing allowed ...

His Every Fantasy by Janelle Denison
Bride-to-be Leah Burton desperately wants to learn how to satisfy a man. Her lackluster fiance isn't offering his services, but Jace Rutledge definitely is. And with a copy of SEXCAPADES under her bed—and Jace in it! —Leah's sure she'll make the grade. Again and Again.



Janelle Denison's Bio

It's hard for me to imagine that I've been writing romances for over twenty years now! I started at the young age of 21, just after I got married. Reading romances, and then writing them, came about as a result of having too much time on my hands. When I first married my husband Don, I was working a regular nine to five job and he worked swing shift, from four in the afternoon until midnight. It wasn't an ideal schedule for newlyweds, and in order to pass those hours when I was alone I started reading romances, and eventually tried my hand at writing them.

The road to publication wasn't an easy one. It took me five years and dozens of rejections to make my first sale, which was to Harlequin for their "Stolen Moments" line. THE FAMILY MAN, written under the pseudonym Danielle Kelly, was one of the twelve novellas published in 1993 for this promotional line.

It took me another two and a half years (and more rejections!) to sell my second book. HEAVEN'S GIFT (written under my own name) was published in October 1995 by Leisure Love Spell for their "An Angel's Touch" series. Another two years passed of collecting even more rejections before I finally sold to Harlequin Romance and Harlequin Temptation. At the time, writing for both Temptation and Harlequin Romance provided me with a wonderful creative outlet for both my modern, ultra-sexy stories, and my warmer, traditional romances. But as the years passed, I realized how much I enjoyed writing the sexier stories and streamlined my career accordingly so that I was no longer writing the sweet traditional romances, and instead focused on the hotter, sexier stories for Temptation and Blaze.

After writing over two dozen books for Harlequin, I decided to branch out. I wanted to write anthologies and single titles, and came up with an idea about three sexy brothers with the last name of "Wilde." Little did I know that those Wilde brothers would become such a sensation with readers. In the second Wilde book, WILDE THING, four Wilde cousins were introduced, and readers started writing in for their stories, too. It's been a joy and pleasure to write each of the Wilde stories, and I want to thank everyone for purchasing those books and putting them on the USA Today Bestseller list!

I've been a full-time writer for years, which consists of being deep in deadlines, writing proposals (growling at the husband to fix a glitch in the computer so I can get back to work!), perusing contracts, line-edits (stressing over a scene that won't work or characters that just won't talk or cooperate with my plans for them!), galleys, art-fact sheets, promotion, and other publishing paperwork. Admittedly, I wouldn't trade all the craziness in for pantyhose, rush hour traffic, and a nine-to-five job again. Writing is hard work, but I find the rewards are well worth the effort. Fan letters are one of those priceless rewards, and can keep me on a high for days! I've met the most wonderful people through my books, some of which I now consider good friends.
