Three passionate tales from faraway places will take you from exotic to erotic in just a few pages....

Statuesque by Lani Aames

Lia Morgan longs to explore her friend Mac's rock-hard body, but she'll settle for spending her vacation helping him search for the elusive rock statue of Zamar, which legend says a virgin sacrifice will arouse. She doesn't exactly believe the story, but as they enter a dark cave, she's overcome with erotic visions...and a sense that she's been to this place before. Mac disappears without a trace, and the deeper she goes into the cavern alone, the more her body aches with desire. When she finally reaches the Chamber of Zamar, she discovers the love she always longed for -- and unbelievable sex beyond imagining.

Anasazi Lassie by Sahara Kelly

Nothing excites archaeology professor Midge Hayworth more than learning -- and fantasizing -- about ancient Native American cultures. Nothing except Professor Web Jones. With movie star looks and a chiseled body, he would never notice her, or so she thinks. But when he joins her research trip to the Tolikani Canyon, his interest isn't ancient cultures -- it's Midge. Ever since Web observed one of her lectures, he gets hard just thinking about the seductive curves and soft skin beneath her practical button-ups. When he catches her late one night nakedly indulging in the pleasures of a waterfall, he decides it's time they indulged their most primal fantasies together.

Night of the Cougar by Vonna Harper

Maka Bradshaw just wants a glimpse of the massive cougar her activist friend Cliff told her about. But when she reaches the forest where the wildcat roams, she learns the cougar mauled Cliff to death, and people in the nearby town aren't talking. Tocho, a tall, broad-shouldered man with long dark hair, is the most outspoken -- and most mysterious. Like an animal on the hunt, Tocho sneaks up on Maka at the cabin where she's staying. She knows she should be scared, but his virile presence freezes her...and ignites a raw, feral passion inside. He's come to stake his claim -- and to fulfill her carnal desires.
