Lifting the baby, who wore a white-trimmed red velvet dress, she handed her to Santa and the photographer snapped her Christmas photo while the nearby staff beamed at the little one. Her red-gold curls and framed red cheeks and her daddy’s brown eyes. No baby was ever more loved, except—
A tuxedo-clad Jorell jostled Zach, who wore—would wonders never cease—an elegant tux of his own. They paused often on their way across the room, carrying their daughter. Hers and theirs. It didn’t matter who had been there when she got pregnant. These two men were there to catch Brianna when she entered the world. They showed their affection to their downy fuzz-haired girl in a thousand ways that warmed Lauren’s heart.
They’d be leaving soon, for a resort on an island in the Aleutians, where Jorell would manage the newest Castillo resort. Zach’s services as fishing and hunting guide would be in demand there as well and Lauren…Lauren would decide what she wanted to do when Brianna was a little older. Right then, taking care of her two men and her beautiful, loved daughter took up all her time.

The Virgin and the Playboy
Julia, accidental virgin, has waited longer than she ever planned to lose her virginity and join everyone else she knows in dating reality. Embarrassed at her plight, she has made arrangements with 1NightStand.com to meet with a handsome stranger for one night of no commitment required sexuality, without having to admit she'd never made love before.
Mark is the one single guy left in his group of friends. As such, he is known for the bevy of lovelies he dates, and his stories of wild exploits between the sheets. His participation in 1NightStand.com is on a dare, and he has no idea that his date is...less experienced than he is used to. And so much more...
When they enter the penthouse suite in Las Vegas, they enter a chamber designed for luxury and booked for a 1Night Stand.

But after many years of friendship, he is surprised to find himself watching Rex cross a room and imagining him naked, under him. But does he really want to make love to a man? Or will he make a fool of himself?
A 1Night Stand in the beautiful Caribbean may hold the answer to both their questions.
