The clitoris is the devil's doorbell... So say those threatened by female sexuality, afraid of the power of a woman who claims her own pleasure. Seven powerhouse authors take on the topic with erotic stories that wrestle the notion that a sexual woman is a dangerous woman. Perhaps there is reason to fear.

The author of The List continues her sinfully addictive Irresistible series with a provocative new novel about a woman inspired by her most forbidden desires... Arden MacCarren can't afford to lose control. Her family's investment house has failed, their professional reputation is all but destroyed, and it's up to Arden to hold the line. The only distraction she allows herself is a weekly drawing class where she can forget everything. Then she meets Seth Malone. When he poses in her class, strong, mysterious, and unbearably sexy, she can't resist him. The only thing she can do is keep it purely physical--no emotions, no strings, and definitely no telling. Seth understands responsibilities, both Arden's and his own. During his last tour as a Marine he lost his best friends to an IED. He has a duty to look after his buddies' survivors. All he allows himself is the stolen moments with Arden. But as he's drawn into Arden's battle with her demons, he comes face-to-face with his own. Seth will have to choose between a duty he can't ignore and the longing to inspire Arden's every desire--mind, soul, and body...
