Love hits the jackpot in these six seductive tales, each set in a different decade in the hottest, wildest, most sinful of cities - Las Vegas. In Elizabeth Spaur’s Miss Atomic Bomb, a beauty pageant brings a cowboy and city girl together. A desperate singer finds new hope with a not-so-jaded casino owner in B.A. McIntosh Home at Last. In Lynn Crain’s, Hooked on a Feeling, two Vietnam vets get a second chance at love while facing enemies at home. A rodeo star falls hard for a showgirl in Diane Deeds’s Total Eclipse of the Heart. In Kay Phoenix’s An Unexpected Knight, a hero on a mighty steed captures the heroine’s heart. A good girl learns that being bad can be very, very good in Tami Cowden’s It Happen One Vegas Night. Mobsters and G-men, cowboys and showgirls, singers and dancers, and even a knight in shining armor all find that Sin City is not just a place to have fun – but also a great place to fall in love.

This week's "My Sexy Saturday" theme is "My Sexy Wild". Though it isn't exactly wild, what's wild is that Kyle showed back up in her life after a ten year absence. In this snippet from my novella "An Unexpected Knight" in the forthcoming anthology, "Decades of Love", Sarah and Kyle awkwardly try to reconnect...
They opened the door and stepped into the brisk
September night. It was still about 65°, even though it was almost midnight.
Las Vegas was funny that way. Sometimes, there seemed to be no transitional
seasons, only winter or summer. Hot or cold.
“I’m over there.” She indicated, pointing to the third
row. When they got to her little, blue Ford Escort, she turned to Kyle. “Thanks
again. I guess I’ll be seeing you tomorrow. Get some rest. The Black Night has
important work to do tomorrow.” She smiled. “By the way, congratulations.
That’s a great role to land.”
She reached in her bag for her keys when he caught her
in a hug and pulled her to him. He squeezed her tight against him and for
longer than was necessary for a friendly hug, rocking her back and forth.
Sarah never expected to see Kyle again, let alone
to have to work with him.
Kyle became a Knight, not guessing “the one that
got away” would be the one he’d rely on each evening.
But, magic can still happen in King Arthur’s
arena.
