SHOCK WAVES

October 2007: Harlequin Blaze (book 2 in Sex on the Beach series with Dawn Atkins and Cindi Myers)

Running into her teenage crush reignites all of Ellie Rockwell’s youthful dreams. One look at the gorgeous,grown-up version of Bill Romero makes those images strictly adult entertainment. And his enthusiastic greeting turns her week of R & R into smokin’-hot fun.

As sizzling as their nights are, she knows it can’t last.She’s temporarily disguised her real goth self and suspects Bill’s not up for that revelation. But is she underestimating him? When confrontedwith the true Ellie, his seductive response suggests her steamy fantasies could last forever.

"Colleen Collins seduces you with characters you’ll never forget and a story that sizzles from the opening line. Shock Waves is sensual entertainment at its best! -- NYT Bestseller Vicki Lewis Thompson

"Shock Waves (4), by Colleen Collins, is part of the Sex on the Beach miniseries, centered around a group of friends visiting Malibu for a week. For goth gal Ellie Rockwell, the TV show Sin on the Beach is an out-of-character guilty pleasure. She enters a contest to be an extra on the show, with her hair dyed blonde and her tattoos covered. That's where she encounters assistant director Bill Romero, her teenage crush. But can he fall for goth Ellie as he does blonde beach girl Ellie? The background story about Bill having left the 'hood where they grew up far behind and Ellie's continued affection for it adds depth and emotion to this great story." -- Romantic Times Bookclub reviewer Page Traynor

A SCENT OF SEDUCTION
Harlequin Blaze
"Lust Potion #9" series
November 2006
ISBN 0373792948
BUY IT HERE

Ancients tell the story of a Yucatan love potion extracted from the jaguar and known for its mysterious scent that beguiles and seduces the other beasts of the jungle. Over hundreds of years, witch doctors experimented with this concoction, eventually creating a lust potion that heightens the senses and conjures erotic fantasies. Because of its power, only a select few were allowed to administer it until a pirated strain made it over the border into San Diego, California where it was secretly sold to a few wealthy clients...that is, until it mistakenly fell into the hands of Kathryn Walters, an uptight workaholic book editor at the San Diego Times. She accidentally gets a dab of the potion onto her neck before a work team-building meeting where she ends up in a group hug. Suddenly, straight-laced Kathryn's world comes undone as she becomes the lust/love-object of several co-workers (the curmudgeon business editor, the Betty White-like food editor, and the too-sexy sports editor). She easily fends off the first two, but her heart beats like a pagan drum whenever she's near the sports editor, Native American Coyote Sullivan. Soon, Kathryn's staid persona becomes wild and uninhibited, thanks to that first scent of seduction.

When Kimberly Logan makes men over to find their mates, she knows the type of guy women want. However, Nigel Durand, an all-around beautiful hunk of man, might be her toughest client yet. He's got the droolworthy look, but his nice-guy personality and sweet ways make him too available. Looks as if she's in for a lot of hands-on coaching.

Too bad the more she has her hands on him, the more tempted she is. And when he throws himself into being "Nicky," his charming and sexy alter ego, Kimberly can't resist...especially when he delivers steamy kisses and whispered promises. After hitting the sheets with him, she knows this is one bad boy she's not letting go!
