Charlie Hartley is the thing that addictions are made of. At least that's what I've heard from the parade of desperate women who've gone through his bedroom's revolving door. Brash and unapologetic, tattooed and insanely handsome. I'm sure there's a Charlie Addicts Anonymous meeting taking place somewhere in the great state of Illinois as we speak.

When my old high school teammate invites me to stay on his family farm, it’s the solution to my financial woes. I never imagined it might also be the answer to my loneliness. Allen Hale Jr wasn’t the first number I tried for help. It’s been years since I’ve even thought of him. But he answered on the first ring, and hours later, we’re still talking like we’re 16 again, goofing off after the big game.

Wearing the nicest suit I own, I stand in the very back with a flask full of whiskey in my inner pocket.

She’s my best friend, but she doesn’t realize she owns my f--king heart and soul, too.

Sadie Sawyer wants to learn how to blow a guy. She's my sister's best friend. The girl I've known since grade school. The girl I've always considered off-limits. She's the girl that crawled under a table in a bar one night and changed everything between us. Now the brain in my pants is more than willing to step up. The rules are simple. No kissing. No screwing. No falling in love. But the more I let her use my body in the name of experimentation, the more I know being friends isn't enough. Is it too much to want it all with her?

Eric Wilde has always known that Piper Lane isn't for him. She is his younger brother's best friend...and probably more. But that hasn't stopped Eric from wanting her.

In this delightful second installment in Alexander McCall Smith's best-selling new detective series, the irrepressibly curious Isabel Dalhousie, editor of the Review of Applied Ethics, gets caught up in an affair of the heart, this one a transplant.

Happy to spend the night at home with her live-in lover, Max, Maya is surprised to find out he's made other plans for them. Plans which include inviting his drop-dead gorgeous, tongue tying, panty meltingly hot best friend, Foster over.

Great marriages don't just happen - they're made, intentionally, day by day. Yet most of us enter the covenant of marriage thinking that the role of spouse will be easy, natural, effortless. Rarely is this true. In fact, the number one cause of divorce isn't adultery or finances or disagreements. It's apathy - a lack of intentional emotional, physical, and mental investment in the relationship.

Naima vibed with Timothy from the first moment they met. Attraction wasn’t supposed to happen, but it did - with no time to turn back. Timothy knew better. But that moment - her mouth pressed against his - made him forget about his girlfriend and he would do anything to get another chance to kiss those lips.

When Maya suddenly finds herself sidelined as her well-endowed lovers, Max and Foster, dive headfirst into exploring their budding bisexual romance, she is beside herself. A devastated Maya begins to realize just how difficult it is to go from swimming in third "legs" to becoming a third wheel. Maybe this menage romance things isn't all it's cracked up to be.

It's been over a month since that fateful night when Max's carefully orchestrated plan to seduce his girlfriend, Maya, into accepting his best friend, Foster, into their bed succeeded. It's been nonstop threesome sex ever since. Before, Maya was content to worship Foster from afar, never letting on to her infatuation and never giving in to it. But now that the doors to paradise have been opened, and a steamy ménage romance is in the offing, how can this trio keep a lid on their feelings for each other and keep it strictly casual between the sheets?

I faked being happy for years as a high-powered stock broker. Faking a relationship for a week can’t be that much harder. Course, pretending money and success was all I needed led directly to my breakdown, and lying on my mom’s couch is all I’ve been good at ever since. But one existential crisis at a time. First I need to survive my sister’s wedding with my sanity intact. And since that I fended off my mom’s matchmaking with claims of a nonexistent boyfriend...I need one of those.

Foster and Max set me up! I had no idea that invitation to "come" back stage was meant in the biblical sense. But it turns out my lovers are keen to watch me f--k the whole band!

Max is upset. But finding his best friend in bed with his girlfriend isn't the problem. It was that Foster and Maya went behind his back to do it in secret, without him. As best friends and lovers, this threesome shares everything. Now Max is left feeling excluded and betrayed. For their part, Maya and Foster feel incredibly guilty about how they've hurt Max and tarnished their sacred love triangle.

I can't believe Max and Foster took me to a sex club! The cat is most definitely out of the bag on our taboo ménage romance after Foster pressed me up against the wall and kissed me senseless, right in front of his band mates. Now they all want a piece of me...and after that hot little ride in the limo, some of them have actually gotten one.

Hello, My name is Maya and I'm a sexaholic. Seriously. I need an intervention. There has to be some kind of 12 step program for people like me. Today, I had sex in public...at a rock concert...with one of my lovers, Max, while the other looked on from the stage. Foster is the lead singer and lead guitarist for The Infidels, a local indie band on the verge of breaking out. They're really hot right now - the music and the band.
