No, a drastic change. Something fundamental. After my sister died was when I changed. After my sister died was when I met her, and she helped me through my grief. She was beautiful… stole my attention from the moment I saw her. She was sexy as sin, too. My stomach knotted when she came close. And when she spoke to me, I found I felt instantly better. I felt less sad. I felt… complete. I was falling for this woman. She was simply amazing. The problem is… I’m not gay. I’m not a lesbian. So why do I feel these things for her? Why do I feel like I’m crossing over into another world? And, most terrifying of all… …Is it possible she loves me back? * Rebound Kate thought she had it all — a successful career, a gorgeous girlfriend, and a well-organized life… until she didn’t. Debs breaks up with her, and she wants nothing more than to crawl under the covers and stay there. But then Kate runs into Alex, and the woman simply steals her breath away. She’s got legs to die for, is sexy as sin… and Kate finds herself altogether forgetting about her now ex-girlfriend. One torrid night of steamy passion later, and Kate is left wondering if this new girl, Alex, is just a rebound, or if this is for real. The day gets brighter when she’s around Alex. Her heart beats faster when she catches Alex’s eyes. And heat rushes to her center when she touches Alex’s lips. Could it be that this is more than just a rebound fling? And will their relationship survive Debs returning into the fold to wreak havoc? * Two Days What is there to celebrate when you’re stuck in a rut in both love and life? But as Lindsey contemplates her life, a confused woman who thinks she should desire men, but doesn't, a beautiful beacon lights the way in the night. Her name is Melina, and she’s a gorgeous German model in town for only two days. And, for some reason, Lindsey can't stop staring at her.

Two days is all she has to figure out what this new yearning is she's feeling for Melina. Questions burn in Lindsey's scrambled mind... Why is she turned on by this admittedly sexy-as-sin woman?
