Bad Boys of Summer

by Lori Foster, Erin McCarthy, Amy Garvey

Overview

Lazy days . . . steamy nights . . . and sweltering guys with rippling muscles doing what they do best . . .



Luscious by Lori Foster



Bethany Churchill just quit her lousy job, dumped her lousy boyfriend and moved into a new apartment. She's not looking for love, but her hot new landlord is determined to change her mind. SWAT officer Lucius Ryder--known to the women in the building as "Luscious," much to his chagrin--is one sexy lawman, and before long Bethany is tempted to find out if he's really as delicious as his nickname. . .




It's About Time by Erin McCarthy



County prosecutor Trish Jones has had it with smooth-talking, under-performing suits. And though she's never had a thing for big, brawny guys, one look at Caleb Vancouver's bulges makes her think she might have been missing out. One Harley ride later they're back at her place, and she realizes that she has been missing out . . . on quite a lot . . .




Wish You Were Here by Amy Garvey



Photographer Mackenzie Pruitt knows exactly what she wants her future to look like, and this summer that means renovating a dilapidated shed into a studio. But when hunky carpenter Leo Dawson shows up, she'd much rather have his capable hands on her than on a hammer. He's not the kind of guy she always thought she'd fall for, but when he touches her, she can't imagine wanting anyone else . . .

Editorial Reviews

The Barnes & Noble Review
Lori Foster, Erin McCarthy, and Amy Garvey dish up a trio of steamy summer fantasies-come-true in this sexy contemporary anthology. None of the heroines of their stories are looking for love, or even sex, but let's face it, they all get lucky.

In Lori Foster's "Luscious," Bethany Churchill finds love with the right landlord when she moves into a new apartment. A stalker, a twin sister who's a pet psychic, and a great dog round out the plot. In Erin McCarthy's "It's About Time," a tough-talking prosecutor abandons her penchant for empty suits as she rescues a brawny guy from the bar -- and winds up being the grateful party. Last, in Amy Garvey's "Wish You Were Here," photographer Mackenzie Pruitt gets more than she bargained for when she decides to renovate her shed and hires a handsome carpenter with a secret.
