Five of today’s hottest romance authors unleash the passionate thrills of new love in one sizzling original collection.

Two neighbors secretly yearn to get a whole lot closer. An adult hotline operator meets a man straight out of her private fantasies. A lonely crisis counselor falls for a hunky officer with troubles of his own. A woman fights to save her farm from the contractor who inherited it.

And an airman dreams of putting down roots, but his pen-pal longs to spread her wings. Some people need an extra nudge to get to happily ever after, but the sparks will fly for these couples with a little bit of help from man’s—and woman’s—best friend.

The authors are donating all of their proceeds from Love Bites to the Animal Adoption Foundation of Hamilton, OH, a charitable organization.
