Hot for Pepper — Emily Ryan-Davis

Summer in Virginia burns as hot as Mitchell's desire for sheltered Southern princess Pepper. Between official assignments, Capt. Scott has a private mission -- claim the genteel redhead before another man discovers the spicy passion lying dormant beneath Pepper's skittish exterior.

Trust-fund baby Pepper is surrounded by men -- her adoptive father, her stepbrothers, her casual romantic companion. All men who want her to fit the roles they envision.

Only Mitch has ever asked her what she wants. She's going to tell him…as soon as she can think past the scorching press of his body against hers and the overwhelming compulsion of her hunger for a man society says she shouldn't crave.
