Learning Curves

There's nothing hotter than a forbidden fantasy come true...

Tequila Truth (originally published 10-28-08 in e-book format)
The rules of Tequila Truth are simple. Shots are poured, a question asked, and only absolute truth can be the answer. Drew Halston has been playing the game with her roommates, Colt and Heath, since college.

Then an innocent question forces Drew to reveal her hottest fantasy—a ménage a trois with two men, complete with bondage and a bit of spanking for good measure. Colt and Heath are only too willing to make Drew's fantasies come true. The only question is, come Monday, will their platonic relationship survive the passion?

Erotic Research (originally published 03-18-08 in e-book format)
Romance writer Julia Martin tells herself her pizza "dates" with her too-hot-for-words editor, Ross Philips, are more than enough for her. Ross has secretly lusted after his shy best friend for years, but fears his strong sexual desires would be too much for her.

When her cat dies and her depression halts her writing, Ross suggests a change to bring her out of her doldrums—try writing erotica. And, being such a good friend and editor, he even offers to help with her research.

Mari Carr's Bio

Some people fall apart on their 30th birthday, others on their 40th. For Mari Carr, 34 was the year that took her down. After she spent the day crying and saying, "I haven't done anything I thought I would," her husband finally asked what she'd left undone. Her answer was simple—she hadn't written a book or decorated her house. "So do it," he said.

Four years later, the house is sparkling with fresh paint and new furniture and her computer is jammed full of stories—novels, novellas, short stories, and dead-ends. The lesson: it's never too late to achieve a goal or two!

Librarian by day and mother of two busy middle schoolers, Mari Carr found her time for writing by squeezing it into the hours between 3 a.m. and daybreak when her family is asleep and the house is quiet.

With the publication of her first book, Erotic Research, her latest goal—publishing before 40—has been achieved with a couple of years to spare. Phew!
