Girl Next Door — Lyra Marlowe

Nolan and John are paramedics, partners, best friends -- and complete opposites. Nolan is a true romantic with a broken heart, and he's gay. John is straight, a relationship-dodging cocksman who's growing bored with casual sex. But Nolan's having sex dreams about John, and John's having fantasies about Nolan. They could be moving toward a relationship, though they're both afraid of destroying their friendship.

Then Nolan's one and only ex-girlfriend comes to visit and changes everything. With Nolan's blessing, Lucy does her best to ease John's boredom, playing out his deepest sexual fantasies -- and hers. But when Lucy learns of John's secret desire for Nolan, she's determined to see them happily together. She won't take no for an answer, even if she has to drag the two of them into bed with her.

Reader Advisory: One of our heroes works strenuously to accommodate all the fantasies our heroine has, including one of forced sex.
