Dear Reader,

I’d like to introduce you to the members of the Red Tote Book Club—a group of women who meet regularly to discuss the greatest erotic literature ever written. But things really get interesting when they decide to put words into action and use the lessons inside the books they read to seduce the men of their dreams!

Follow Cassie as she shows a former boyfriend who was “just not into her” exactly what he missed! And shy, administrative assistant Page, who undergoes a role reversal of the most exciting kind to seduce her boss. And party girl Wendy, who’s determined to convince her lifelong best friend that they can be friends with benefits. And finally, Jacqueline, with her “take no prisoners” business reputation, who concedes her desire to submit to an intriguing new client.

I hope you enjoy this special collection of connected novellas written especially to celebrate the release of the 500th book in the Harlequin Blaze series! Please let your friends know about the wonderful love stories you find between the pages of Harlequin novels. Visit me at www.stephaniebond.com.

Happy reading,

Stephanie Bond
