Jake Macmillan won’t take no for an answer anymore. He wants Ameril, and he’s determined to have her. She’s everything he wants in a woman, but convincing her of that is going to take more grit than he’s ever had to muster. Money and power can buy a lot of things, but it can’t buy the woman he loves.
Ameril Haverton has been running from Jake for longer than she cares to remember. Handsome, rich, powerful and completely dominating, most women would give their eyeteeth for him. Continually saying no has required more strength of spirit than any other trial in her life, but she doesn’t know if Jake is the man of her dreams … or the man from her nightmares.
Yet, when love is Desired, nothing is for certain.
Karen Monroe sails all over the world in the United States Navy. In her travels, she's had the pleasure of encountering some very sexy men of different cultures and appetites. Her stories are born from fifty percent experience (she calls it research) and fifty percent vivid erotic fantasy.
Karen's love for romance novels started in the sixth grade, when a far-sighted librarian overlooked a Harlequin Temptation she had mistakenly slipped into her check out stack. After that fateful day, her writing lot in life was sealed. A stint at erotic dancing helped mold her perception of its contribution into today's lifestyle. The experience and understanding of that growing sub-culture provides Karen with the basis of some of her best stories.
In addition to writing and sailing the seven seas, Karen enjoys exotic cuisines, windowshopping (she's in the Navy, give her a break!) sightseeing, learning new languages, and, most important, meeting guys. She holds a Bachelor's degree in Political Science from the University of California at Los Angeles and is currently working on obtaining a Masters in English. When not out boating, Karen calls San Diego home, where she keeps a stash of one dollar bills for Ladies Night Out.
Found this book by accident. Loved the romance in it and in the second book. Two brothers end up with strippers on what starts out as a lark and ends up as true love. Hot, erotic, romantic.
