Taking Care Of Business After a hard day’s work, it’s the only way to unwind… From three of today’s hottest romance authors, sizzling stories about the trials, tribulations, and temptations that occur when professional life and passionate love collide... Driven Ian Parker may be the hard-as-nails author of a popular mystery series, but when it comes to penning the long- awaited steamy sex scene between his main characters, he’s shooting blanks. For help, his agent hooks him up with romantic comedy writer Maxine Mitchell, who knows the “ins and outs” of good love scenes. They retreat to a secluded cabin to get the creative juices flowing—and soon realize that while fiction is fine, the real thing can be much more rewarding… What Happens in Vegas High-roller Jay Douglas is on a hot streak, winning millions off the blackjack tables at Eddie Flynn’s Gold Dust Casino. Eddie Flynn wants to know how—and if there are any cards up Jay’s sleeve, Flynn’s going to break out the brass knuckles. A desperate Libby Thatcher agrees to get close to Jay to save her father from Flynn. But as Libby cozies up to Jay, what began as a con becomes a passionate winner-take-all gamble that could pay off big for both of them… Brushstrokes Mia Drake is a down-on-her-luck artist in need of employment. So when her aunt suggests she take a job painting a local tavern, she jumps at the chance to make some money—and maybe get cozy with the bar’s hunky owner, Rick Rose. But the last thing Rick wants is any more temptations. Only when Mia begins painting an ultra-sensual mural across the ceiling of the tavern does Rick realize that he may not know art—but he knows what he likes…
