Scorpio Valentino, a sexy-diva beauty-salon owner, is used to having her way with any and every man that she meets. She’s a master at playing head-games and also possesses a curvaceous body that’ll have any man’s tongue watering. But when one man (Jaylin) has finally been able to free himself from her grip and moves on, Scorpio just ain’t having it. She’ll try anything to get him back.
Jaylin has moved to Florida after breaking-up with Scorpio when he learned that she’s so grimey that she slept with his own cousin! Now he’s got what he feels is the best life for him — a successful financial career, a woman that’s worthy of him and a good best-friend (Shane).
Shane Alexander is under the pressure of meeting the demands of a big account at work. Complicating the matter is a girlfriend that’s also pressuring him to marry her and a business partner (Felicia) that’s pressuring and blackmailing him into staying with the firm. The opportunity arises for Scorpio to reclaim Jaylin, when Shane invites his best-friend to fly into town to help close a major business deal. Just by seeing Scorpio’s face again, it quickly reminds Jaylin of the power she once had over him and leaves him in a vulnerable and confused state; just how Scorpio likes it.
Felicia Davenport is a hard-nosed, low-down, majority-owner of the company where Shane works. She’s the boss and that’s that! Secretly, she has a thing for Shane, but gets ruthless when she’s unable to attract him and learns that Scorpio seems to have his nose wide-open for her. A CD in Felicia’s possession threatens to simultaneously destroy the lives of both Shane and Jaylin.
Scorpio’s naughty sex-life catches up with her, as she starts being anonymously terrorized with harassing phone calls and vandalism of her property. Eventually, it’s Scorpio’s own behavior that leads to her staring down the barrel of gun, wielded by the scorned-wife of one of the many men that she’s been sexin’.
Some women are greedy. Some women are sneaky. Some even think they’re Slick. But there’s nothing like a woman that’s Naughty-By-Nature!

She develops real feelings for her new husband, and she soon wants more attention and affection than Byran is willing to give her. Allyson is left with a decision.

Alibi Island is a legendary paradise hidden away deep in international waters. The only law is money. Sex, drugs, murder. You’ve got to pay to play, but it’s all fair game if you’re rich enough.
On Alibi Island, the rich and famous are kings. Back in America they’re just rich—they’re surrounded by the cult of celebrity their wealth brings, but they can never be themselves. They can never indulge in their darkest desires and let the beast that is their true nature out.
The place is legendary. Few ever get the black and gold card inviting them to indulge, and fewer still can afford the stay. But there is a dark side to paradise. The island is the hub of a human trafficking operation that sees children stolen from their families in India and Asia, and even familiar faces from milk cartons in the United States. Every taste and perversion needs to be catered to on the Island. And when the young sex slaves are finally broken and used up, they become fair game in a murderous hunt where, with nowhere to go, they are forced to run for their lives.
Alibi Island is a lucrative business. What happens on the island stays on the island. That’s the promise. But it is a lie. Everything that happens is recorded. All of that footage becomes blackmail material down the line, as the island’s secret power brokers look to cement their stranglehold on power. And when a senator’s daughter’s disappearance is linked to the island, all of its darkest secrets are at risk …

Natalie Weber (Bi-Curious) rounds out the volume with the riveting “Three the Hard Way.” Amber Couture has a curvaceous, bountiful body and an ego just as big. Juggling three adoring men is all in a day’s play, but now she’s got her hands full with Trevor (the heat between the sheets), Stephen (the cash to keep Amber in bling), and Robert (the nice guy who’s determined not to finish last). Amber’s playing with fire—and she just might get burned!

Only one thing can save Lola’s children from the claws of poverty, and that comes in the form of a million-dollar life insurance policy. It is, however, just a useless piece of paper unless she’s dead. With that in mind, Lola vows to make the ultimate sacrifice for her children’s well-being.
There are two problems—she doesn’t have the guts to kill herself, and her insurance doesn’t pay out on suicides. With only days left before her family learns the true meaning of homelessness, Lola turns to Blasé, a desensitized hit man with a “no turning back” policy, to execute her murder. To foot Blasé’s upfront bill, Lola seeks prostitution. It’s not long before the hole she’s dug gets deeper.
Living on the erotic edge leads her to an unforgettable sexual encounter with Mannish Major, a lonely married man with skeletons swinging in his closet. Their tryst explodes into a full-blown love affair that renews Lola’s will to live. But not even a budding romance will cancel the expiration date Blasé has set on Lola’s soul. Now Lola and Mannish must make a final and desperate attempt to stop the hit man, or else they will die trying.

Every relationship has its ups and downs.
Zaria Taylor weathers the storms, accepting the bad times as temporary whenever Renard cheats. Deep down inside, Zaria prays the years invested into their relationship will be enough to keep their foundation sturdy. "Do or die" and "till death do us part" are her mottos, though her wedding ring finger is still bare. She makes the mistake of believing him every time he says he will do better, he is sorry, and his heart only belongs to her.
When his lies are exposed and it is revealed that Renard has been dragging Zaria's name through the mud while taking caring of another woman's child on the side, all bets are off and payback is on. Angry and bitter, Zaria makes it her mission to show her two-timing baby daddy exactly how it feels to get played. Between sleeping with his best friend, stirring up drama with his line-up of women, and trying to ruin his street business, Zaria is fueled by a shattered heart, and she won't stop until revenge is hers.

Nia Hudson, fashion powerhouse and philanthropist, swore that love wasn’t for her because she was too busy chasing after her dreams. The quiet girl from Brooklyn refused to go back to the projects.

Surprisingly, one hour turns into a week, a week transpires into months, and before she knows it, the two have become a couple.
Together, East and Nia don’t paint the perfect picture. They have nothing in common, and in fact, he’s the complete opposite of everything she stands for. Dangerous, thrilling, edgy, and secretive describe her current beau. East is definitely living life in the fast lane, selling everything he can get his hands on, and not knowing when the Feds—or friends disguised as enemies—might come after him.

Mike’s a bona fide ladies man. He’s smooth, sexy, and he’s got all the right moves. There’s just one problem: his wife, Mya.
