Two weeks touring art galleries in London—that's what my Uncle Stig promised. It was going to be a nice quiet trip with my favorite relative, who also happens to be the US Ambassador to England. The only problem? It's a little too quiet. I crave something more than four o'clock tea and crumpets.

From dominant Alexandr and voluptuous student Cate, to Christof and his curvy little minx Max, once these couples clash, listen up!

I found the woman of all my most secret dreams. The one woman I must not touch and the only woman I want. As soon as my eyes first catch that curvy little minx, I sense her desires and I feel her aching need. She has no idea how her bouncy curves and the sway of her hips make a man’s need stiffen and grow. She deserves a better man than me, and a much younger man, too.

I never allowed emotion to disrupt my life before, but my plans all fly out of the window as soon I’m caught by her big round eyes, gleaming into mine. One glimpse of her heart-thumping curves and my pulse starts to hammer. Irina’s scent smokes into my head and curls around my memory.

I always laughed at men who get trapped by love. I dismissed them as weak. Now my fate is bound to this curvy beauty and I’m stepping into the snare. I’ll do anything to make her safe. She has no idea what danger she’s in. But how can I keep from falling for her when she’s so perfect? I’m in his power and I like it. How can he be so impossibly hot? I know an older man like him wouldn’t be interested in a curvy girl like me, but I’m burning to know what goes on inside that deliciously expensive suit.

I’m not looking for love, and definitely not if it means leaving a witness. But her heart's in my sights the first time I see her. Her lips are my next target, and her soft curves spell danger.

I have to have her, to take her and make her safe. And make her mine, completely. Whatever it takes, I will claim her.
