Dear Reader,
I’d like to introduce you to the members of the Red Tote Book Club—a group of women who meet regularly to discuss the greatest erotic literature ever written. But things really get interesting when they decide to put words into action and use the lessons inside the books they read to seduce the men of their dreams!
Follow Cassie as she shows a former boyfriend who was “just not into her” exactly what he missed! And shy, administrative assistant Page, who undergoes a role reversal of the most exciting kind to seduce her boss. And party girl Wendy, who’s determined to convince her lifelong best friend that they can be friends with benefits. And finally, Jacqueline, with her “take no prisoners” business reputation, who concedes her desire to submit to an intriguing new client.
I hope you enjoy this special collection of connected novellas written especially to celebrate the release of the 500th book in the Harlequin Blaze series! Please let your friends know about the wonderful love stories you find between the pages of Harlequin novels. Visit me at www.stephaniebond.com.
Happy reading,
Stephanie Bond

GABRIELLE POPE STARED AT the clock on the wall, willing the minute hand to tick just one more time. A bead of perspiration rolled between her shoulder blades. After ignoring her silent pleas all day to move faster, the clock was finally straining toward six o’clock. She leaned forward in her chair as the second hand swept around slowly…slowly…
The minute hand sprang to twelve without incident, but Gabrielle’s pulse skipped as wildly as if an alarm had sounded.

She pushed back from her tiny desk at one of the oldest branches of the Atlanta Public Library and stood. As she guided the stiff chair under her desk, the warm flush climbing her neck belied her careful movements. Gabrielle leaned over to pick up her red book tote—the special tote that held the special books. Then, guarding a secret smile, she nodded to coworkers and patrons as she made her way through the maze of hallways.
The sprawling building had undergone several renovations and additions over the years, rendering some areas less desirable. Tucked behind an abandoned supply closet was a forgotten room that held six of the most plush, most comfortable chairs Gabrielle could find, situated around an elegant table with curving legs.

Gabrielle moved around the room, dusting lightly and straightening the chairs. At the sound of a rap on the door, she looked up and smiled as four members filed in, talking and laughing amongst themselves. They greeted Gabrielle, each turning a smile in her direction as they claimed a chair. The women were
