    About this ebook

    In this first ever short story collection, New York Times bestselling author Francis Ray takes us on five steamy, sexy adventures. From a timid, dowdy duckling who turns into a confident, sexy swan which sends her into the arms of a handsome artist to a bridesmaid's explosive encounter with the best man to an unproven actress who is being wooed to the stage by a handsome Broadway director. From a journalist's very steamy night with an old flame to a woman who pretends that she is dating a wealthy businessman but never imagines he would show up to collect on that claim. Experience just how much Francis Ray can turn up the heat!

      All five stories were good. Two of them I would consider favorites. Ms. Ray doesn't disappoint with this collection of stories. When and if you've forgotten what romance is, just pick up one of Ms Ray's novels to be reminded.

      1) The Awakening w/ Gabe Jackson & Jessica Ames (ugly duckling story)

      2) A Matter of Trust w/ Sebastian Stone & Hope Lassiter (sweet story w/kid)

      3) Sweet Temptation w/ Chase M. Braxton & Julia Ann Farrington (fav) (candy shop)

      4) Southern Comfort w/ Charlotte Duvall & Vincent Maxwell (fav) (non profit organizer)

      5) The Blind Date w/ Tanner Rafferty & Ayanna Hardcastle (sister Raine played hardball)
