Doing It the Hard Way
by T. J. Michaels, Shiloh Walker, Madison Hayes

One Night With You by Shiloah Walker (originally published in e-book format)
Logan knew from the first time he saw Bo Martin that she was the one for him. They were just teenagers then, but he knew. He spent years quietly waiting for her to grow up and when he finally made his move, he moved too fast and scared Bo away. She stayed away for four years but circumstances outside his control kept him from going to her when she finally returned.

Now it's too late. Bo's engaged to one of Logan's best friends. But he'll be damned if he lets that wedding happen. All he needs is a little bit of luck, and one night to convince Bo that she belongs with him.

Jaguar's Rule by T. J. Michaels (originally published August 2, 2006 in e-book format)
Reya Daines has dedicated her life to the conservation of jaguars. With the only bed-and-breakfast at the entrance to Cockscomb Jaguar Sanctuary, she can keep an eye on poachers and still indulge her guests in her first love---scuba diving. But something unusual is happening on the reserve and the big cats are restless. Something has invaded their habitat. And that something wants Reya.

Aaron James is a hard nut to crack. A shrewd businessman and always determined to see to his own affairs, he finds he can't quite take care of things himself after his plane goes down in the jungles of Belize. The woman who rescues him is a loner just like him. But he finds he doesn't want her to be a loner, unless she's alone with him. When he learns she's in danger from the same menace she's saved him from twice, what's a determined man to do with an equally stubborn woman?

Miss October by Madison Hayes (originally published in e-book format)
Bolt Hardin is many things, and comforting ain't one of them. He's too hard-edged, too big, too brutal...and too damn sexy for Tavia's own good. Balancing caution with a frustrating dose of sexual attraction, Tavia takes the rugged stranger home with her. After all, she won't be alone with him. Not when she has a houseful of construction workers underfoot and a boyfriend coming for dinner.

She's cool, calm and in control---until Bolt sets his sights on gaining what he wants. And what he wants is Tavia, laid out and spread for his pleasure. And then there's his own special method of nailing a woman to the floor.

With nothing more than a sexy saunter and a low-slung pair of jeans, Bolt worms his way into Tavia's heart. Lucky for her...Tavia's heart is exactly what Bolt's after.



T. J. Michaels' Bio

Born into a musically eclectic family, TJ's first love is music. She enjoys singing, even outside of the shower. So, where does this writing stuff come in? It actually began with reading. TJ is an avid reader and you'll find her with her head buried in a book every day of the week, whether it's her own creation or something snagged at the bookstore.

What about ideas? Working for an interesting organization allows her to interact with even more interesting customers. With an imagination expanded beyond belief after the birth of her two (now teenaged) children, spinning life's experiences into tales is a blast! And now that books have caught up to technology, TJ's eBook reader is shown no mercy, forced to entertain her at all hours of the day or night. Even in the dark!

Writing like a madman, er, madwoman, TJ hasn't lost steam. Her mind? Yep, that's gone, but steam there is aplenty. A true Taurus, TJ isn't slowing down and she's definitely too stubborn to stop when she sees the fence!
