Okay, so it’s confirmed: Sully saw Byron coming out of Carla’s bedroom and Cody coming out of Cheyenne’s bedroom. Scarlet and Sully’s friends were tempted into a night of partner swapping while the whole gang are on a much-needed yacht vacation in the Caribbean. But that’s got nothing to do with them—what Byron and Cheyenne want to do is their own business. Except... Scarlet loves to tease and rile her husband Sully. And once she starts messing with his head—hey, everybody, who wants to go skinny dipping?—Sully starts responding in surprising ways. He’s not into this swapping stuff, is he? She’s kind of mad if he is, and yet she can’t deny her flagrant flirting with Philippe in front of her husband is getting both men’s attention. And she sure likes that. But how far is she willing to go to push her husband’s buttons? A lot further than she thought.

What would you do if you rang your best friend’s doorbell ... and a stranger answered? Evan Romer is astonished when he stops by his friend’s apartment and finds Ty Mitchell in the shower instead. Turns out Ty has swapped houses with Evan’s friend and is spending two weeks in San Francisco, a long way from his country home in South Carolina. Unable to deny the attraction between them, Evan offers to show Ty the town and romance blossoms. Ty wants to keep things casual, but Evan is falling in love fast.

She only hopes her husband Arlo will look out for her, make sure she is safe. Cheyenne suspects there’s more going on aboard the yacht than maybe the others are aware of. Now if only she could convince one of her friends to listen to her.

Byron’s pampered and prepped, and Cheyenne’s ready to throw her husband into Carla’s tiger cage. At least she thinks she’s ready. This seemed like the right thing, the honorable thing to do since her husband was so understanding and accepting of her own nefarious proclivities of the unclothed kind. But Carla is vivacious, voluptuous, an accomplished swinger with all kinds of bedroom tactics. How can petty Cheyenne Bishop do this? The way her husband did. Carla is a female version of Cody: a high-octane mattress-scorcher. Both of them are human reproduction (oh boy, and pleasure!) personified. Byron watched her with Cody—and Cody did the wildest things to her. If they’re going to make it as a couple, loving Byron and loving Cheyenne, she’s going to have to be as generous as her husband. It’s going to take Olympic strength to be as giving and forgiving as Byron...
