Talking Dirty With the Boss by Jackie Ashenden: Marisa Clair wants to get her artist dreams back on track after a life detour. That means no partying, no shopping...and definitely no men to distract her. Should be easy, but there's something about her hot and exceedingly uptight boss and she can't seem to stop herself from ruffling Mr. Tall, Dark and Irritating. Financial consultant Luke McNamara lives his life strictly by schedule – his OCD simply won't allow him to do anything else. And the very last thing he needs is a sassy blonde putting lipstick on his collar and messing with his routine. She annoys the hell out of him so why can't he stop thinking about the color of her panties...and how free he feels when he's with her? Marisa and Luke's plans to steer clear of one another are shot to hell after a hot office encounter. Now the two of them will have to learn to get along as they face a much more permanent reminder of their lack of self-control – a pregnancy.
He could have any woman he wanted. But for some reason, he wants me... When billionaire CEO Mack Hart demands I come to his office, I'm convinced it's because he's caught me on security camera taking photos of his files when I should have been cleaning. He's young and sexy, he has a doctorate in Computer Science Engineering, an IQ of 172, and a bank balance containing nine zeroes. Nine! I can't remember the last time mine wasn't in the red. His research is so important that his rival will pay big money for it, and I desperately need some of that cash. Terrified, I expect to find the police waiting there with handcuffs, ready to whisk me off to prison. Instead, the surprisingly young, gorgeous entrepreneur seems more interested in the piece of paper I accidentally dropped the night before. It contains a poem. A very explicit poem I wrote about my perfect fantasy man. I'm sure he thinks it's about him, which isn't surprising considering how accurately he fits the bill. Mortified, I explain that I write steamy romance, but that it's just a hobby, and I don't have much experience in the real world. I wait for him to show me the door. Instead, he asks me to be his date at a party that evening. He could easily have any woman he wanted. He says he finds me fascinating, but I think he just wants to see whether I can talk as dirty as my poem suggests. Embarrassed, I try to turn him down. But Mack Hart is a man used to getting his own way. If I give in and have a one-night stand with him, maybe then I'll be able to escape and forget how close I came to going to prison. I'm not agreeing because I want to sleep with the hot young billionaire. Honest. * This story contains: profanity that will be offensive to some; over-indulgence of alcohol; descriptions of obscene wealth, power, and beauty; and numerous detailed sensual situations. Just wait till book two... Contains no cheating, no cliffhangers, just a scorching romance and an HEA: -)

‘Women should be obscene and not heard’ – John Lennon ‘The only unnatural act is that which you cannot perform' – Alfred Kinsey ‘Fat people are brilliant in bed: if I’m sitting on top of you, who’s going to argue?' – Jo Brand ‘What most women want is not a man who ties you to the bed but one who unstacks the dishes while you watch The Great British Bake Off’ – Harriet Harman Throughout the centuries, talk of sex has proved irresistible, producing wide-ranging responses, contradictory remarks, denouncements and appraisals; something seen as harmless by one is often condemned as damnable by another. Whatever your sexual preferences, Talking Dirty is a hugely entertaining treasury of wit on this endlessly entertaining and controversial topic.
