by Lauren LayneHailed by Ruthie Knox as "fun, sexy, and sharp as a spike heel," the Sex, Love & Stiletto series from USA Today bestselling author Lauren Layne introduces the glamorous columnists of Stiletto magazine and the ridiculously hot men who love them. Now all four novels--After the Kiss, Love the One You're With, Just One Night, and The Trouble with Love--are together in one eBook bundle. AFTER THE KISS"After the Kiss is a knock-your-stilettos-off, total page-turning treat that had me fan-girling up within the first chapter."--USA Today bestselling author Mira Lyn Kelly Julie Greene loves flings: first dates, first kisses, that first sexy romp between the sheets. But when Julie has to write an article about the magical shift between dating and "I do," she'll need a man brave enough to reform a total commitment-phobe. Normally, that man would be Mitchell Forbes, a devastatingly handsome workaholic who stays in relationships far too long. But Mitchell is looking to cut loose for once, and Julie's exactly the type of no-strings fling he's looking for. In other words, he's the polar opposite of what she needs--and exactly what she wants. LOVE THE ONE YOU'RE WITH"Spunky, flirty, and full of sass, Love the One You're With is everything a romance should be! Lauren Layne has a winner."--New York Times bestselling author Christie Craig After her fiancé turns out to be the kind of rotten, cheating liar she always warns her readers about, Grace Brighton swears off relationships for six months. She makes an exception for a joint article on dating with a gorgeous counterpart from the men's magazine Oxford--and tries to tell herself she's not instantly smitten. Jake Malone only agreed to this fluffy assignment because his playboy reputation makes his new editor nervous. But after just one date with snooty, sumptuous, sensational Grace, Jake starts taking this assignment a whole lot more seriously. JUST ONE NIGHT"Sexy, sassy, and surprisingly sweet, Just One Night is a total page-turner!"--New York Times bestselling author Donna Alward As Stiletto's resident "sexpert," Riley McKenna writes articles that are the magazine's most read. But when Riley is forced to confront a long-hidden secret--that her own sexual experience is limited to one awkward college encounter--she calls in the favor of a lifetime. Sam Compton knows two things about his best friend's little sister: She's the woman for him, and she's completely off-limits. Sam shouldn't even consider Riley's proposition. But after a one-night stand in the name of research, they learn firsthand that, with each other, there's no such thing as just one night. THE TROUBLE WITH LOVE"The Trouble with Love is a heartwarming read I devoured in one sitting and haven't been able to stop smiling over since."--New York Times bestselling author Violet Duke Five years ago, Emma Sinclair was a blushing bride-to-be. Now she's the ice queen of the Manhattan dating scene--and her latest article forces her to face the devilishly sexy guy who ditched her at the altar. After giving up everything for a pro soccer career, Alex Cassidy is hanging up his cleats and taking a shot at journalism . . . in the same city as his former fiancée. But Emma isn't the innocent girl he remembers. She's chic, sophisticated, and assertive--and she wants absolutely nothing to do with him. The trouble is, Alex has never wanted her more.
The Sex-Starved Marriage: Boosting Your Marriage Libido: A Couple's Guide
by Michele Weiner DavisIt is estimated that one of every three married couples struggles with problems associated with mismatched sexual desire. Do you? If you want to stop fighting about sex and revitalize your intimate connection with your spouse, then you need this book. But The Sex-Starved Marriage is not just another book explaining the reasons you or your spouse might not be in the mood for sex. Bestselling author Michele Weiner Davis will help you understand why being complacent or bitter about ho-hum sex might cost you your marriage, and with her acclaimed psychobabble-free, straight-shooting advice, she'll show you how to bring the spark back into your bedroom and into your relationship. Because relationship expert Weiner Davis is convinced that feeling sexy is a two-person job, she looks at the problem of -- and the solution to -- low sexual desire from a couple's perspective. Whether you're someone whose passion has faded or someone who's been hungering for touch, you'll learn life-altering lessons about bridging the desire gap and restoring intimacy and friendship to your marriage. And because Weiner Davis knows that one spouse is often more motivated than the other to work on a relationship, she offers creative ways to inspire your partner to change. Separate chapters address the spouse who's hot, the one who's not, and then both together. If you're the spouse with a lagging libido, you're far from alone. And if you're a man, you'll be surprised to learn that staggering numbers of men, even men whose sexual machinery works just fine, "get headaches" too! If you're the low-desire spouse, you'll learn about the physiological and psychological factors, including unresolved relationship issues, that may contribute to the chill in your bedroom. You'll learn the truth about sexual desire: that for millions of men or women it doesn't just happen; you have to make it happen. Finally, you'll find specific, pragmatic, and often provocative solutions to help you discover the siren or seducer within. If you're the more highly sexed partner, you'll breathe a sigh of relief. At last someone understands your feelings about the void in your marriage. Discover why your pleas for touch have fallen upon deaf ears and why your approach to the lull in your sexual relationship could be a sexual turnoff. Most important, you'll find tools you can use to reach out in ways that will make your spouse more responsive. Finally, if your partner is willing, you will learn how to keep the flame of desire burning together. Full of moving firsthand accounts from couples who have struggled with the erosion of sexual desire and rebuilt their passionate connection, The Sex-Starved Marriage will give you and your spouse the inspiration, encouragement, and answers you need to find your way out of a sex-starved marriage.
