    About this ebook

    Welcome to the “O Spa,” an exclusive island resort where legend has it a magical elixir can turn your wildest fantasies into a delicious reality…

    Danielle, Lauren, and Abby have come to this secluded island paradise for a fling, not realizing the spa has a rehabilitation center for injured soldiers—or that their boldest desires are about to be realized…

    Book 1, Seaside Seduction: Interior designer Danielle Carrigan has never told anyone about her desire to be dominated in the bedroom. But after a seaside seduction with gorgeous weapons’ expert Ethan Sharpe, something tells her that the hardcore military man will be happy to satisfy her yearning...

    Book 2, Deep Desires: Used to men fixating on her killer body, Lauren Sampson is thrilled that the stud she encounters by the pleasure pool—who’s been visually impaired by an injury—is more interested in what’s beneath the surface. But while Captain Ryan Thomas’s erotic touch fulfills her deep desires, will he also indulge her heart’s desire?

    Book 3, Private Pleasure: Abby Benton is about to be engaged, but when she is rescued by sniper Cody Lannon and he takes her to the sunset sauna for a little private pleasure, she finds herself tempted by the intensity of his passion. Can the handsome lieutenant teach her about the fiery nature of true love?

    Ryan leaned across the pool table, positioned the tip of his wooden cue on the ball and took a shot, easily sinking the eight ball in the corner pocket. Fortunately, the bright artificial light overhead enabled him to see the table, even with his dark sunglasses on.

    Six months previous, after an early morning surprise explosion had damaged his retinas and marred his skin, the glasses had become a permanent fixture on his face, hiding both his lacerations and his damaged eyesight. Now he wore the shades day and night, not that he went out much during the day, or was the wild social animal he used to be. Since he’d returned home from his overseas tour, he kept a low profile. The fewer people asking about his scars or prying into his personal life, the better.

    He stood and glanced at Cody. So, what do you think is taking Ethan so long? A man could die of thirst waiting for him.

    My guess is he’s taken your stash of beer and made off with it, Cody said before grabbing the triangle and centering it on the table.

    Ryan scoffed, adjusted his sunglasses and slapped his pool cue against his palm. You’d think he’d know better, he said, grinning. I can still track him down if I want to. Vision or no vision, Ryan’s exceptional tracking skills and his memorization of the island’s landscape, meant Ethan didn’t stand a chance.

    Of course, both Ryan and Cody knew Ethan would never do anything of the kind. During their time together overseas and at the rehabilitation center, the guys had all bonded. The men were more than his friends and confidants. They were his family, his brothers. Men he trusted with his life.

    Unlike the family he’d grown up in—an emotionally absent father plus a stepmother and two stepsisters who considered him a burden, and the long time girlfriend who’d tossed him away faster than an armed grenade when he’d returned home injured, calling him damaged goods, these men all looked out for one another. Ryan knew he could count on his fellow comrades in the best and the worst of situations.

    Cody’s voice brought his attention back around to the game. Ethan always was easily distracted, he said, gathering the balls from the pockets and sending them down the table. He shot Ryan a questioning look. You think something shiny caught his attention?

    Ryan scoffed and gave a slow side-to-side shake of his head. Yeah, something shiny, something sexy and something flirtatious.

    One side of Cody’s mouth turned up. You saw that, too, did you?

    Hell yeah. My eyesight might be damaged, but I’m not completely blind. Jesus, he was practically salivating over Danielle at dinner.

    Cody positioned the balls, removed the triangle and grabbed his cue. He needs a woman in his life. Maybe after a few good fucks he’ll stop being such an angry son of a bitch. He paused and then added, Hell, maybe that’s what we all need.

    Ryan couldn’t deny that. It had been far too long since he’d held a woman in his arms, inhaled her sweet scent, felt her between his legs or sank into her tight heat. At the mere thought of getting laid, his mind raced to Lauren Sampson, the sweet yet sexy brunette who’d sat next to him at dinner. If he tried hard enough, he could still smell her fantasy-inspiring floral aroma.

    The scent was so goddamn erotic and stimulating, it nearly gave him a boner right then and there. Even her sultry voice, had aroused him to the point of distraction.

    He wondered what brought her to the exclusive resort. A woman as gorgeous as she was couldn’t be here looking to fulfill a fantasy. She likely had countless men throwing themselves at her feet. The alternative was that she’d come here looking for therapeutic relaxation, an escape from the everyday. Yeah, that had to be it, he concluded. She had to be here looking for a little R & R.

    As he leaned against his pool cue and watched Cody break the balls, Ryan took a moment to consider that further. If she was here looking for a fantasy vacation, he’d like to be the guy to give it to her. Sure, he could give her that wild ride, but he couldn’t give her any more than that, because truthfully, he didn’t have any more to give. Then again, what would a girl like her see in a guy like him, a guy who could barely see her in return?

    Suddenly, the words damaged goods echoed in his mind.

    Cody gestured toward the table with a nod. You want to go again?

    Nah, I think I’ll call it a night. I’ve got an early massage booked. Not to mention an afternoon appointment with his well-shaded hammock, his usual daytime hangout.

    Cody nodded. I’ll catch up with you later, then, he said and turned his attention back to the pool table.

    Ryan replaced his cue on the rack and made his way outside. As he left the air-conditioning behind, the warmth of the night washed over him and moistened his skin. In no time at all his clothes clung to his body like a second skin. Anxious to peel them off and jump into a cool shower, he carefully negotiated the stairs, but not carefully enough. On his last step his shins connected with the base of something concrete. He tripped and stumbled forward.

    Fuck, he bit out as he righted himself. He glanced at what appeared to be some sort of spiritual statue. Okay, that was new. Once composed, he made his way to the footpath leading to his cabana. With the tall trees surrounding him, he paused to listen, amazed at how his other four senses had amplified after his injury.

    The sounds of the nightlife closed around him, but there were no other footsteps to be heard. Small stones crunched beneath his feet as he followed the
