Unnatural Selection

Black Lace - the leading erotic imprint for women

They're written especially for women so will hit the right buttons.

Alaine Hood is an outstanding young American author who relishes writing erotica. She is the author of Hard Blue Midnight, Switching Hands and Unnatural Selection, all available from Black Lace.

Hailey is an up-and-coming biologist, and sexual evolution is her passion. Natural selection works best, she believes, when a woman has lots of options. Between her studies and her job as a bike messenger, Hailey hasn't had time to do much more than be a voyeur watching the nocturnal habits of her own species in the city's nightclubs. 
 
Everything changes when she meets Noah and Cade, two very sexy men who will overturn her views on human mating games. But Hailey knows a lot more about animal passion than they realise and, before they know it, she's the one doing the hunting - with Cade, Noah, and a rugged big cat handler named Rick as her prey.

Switching Hands

Black Lace - the leading erotic imprint for women

When Melanie Paxton takes over as manager of a vintage clothing shop in a small, New England town, she makes the bold decision to add a selection of sexy toys and fetish merchandise to her inventory. Sales skyrocket, and so does Melanie's popularity, as she teases sexy secrets out of the town's residents. It seems she can do no wrong, until she enters into an unorthodox domestic partnership with her former college professor and his wife - both spanking fans. Then the gossip starts - about Mel's wild past and her particular experimental brand of sexuality. However, she finds an unlikely - and very hunky - ally called Nathan who works at the history museum next door. The course is set for a curious alliance between the sassy sexpert and the antiquities scholar!
