In Letting Go, Colleen visits The Fallen Angel bar every Thursday
night, ordering a whiskey but leaving it untouched. Bartender Jesse is
enchanted with the beautiful but troubled Colleen and determined to make
something of their connection. Colleen is wary: her ex-husband always accused
her of being frigid and cold and she hasn’t yet got over their divorce. It
isn’t until a snow storm forces them to spend time in each other’s company that
Colleen rethinks her perspective on a new relationship and is confronted with
her newfound desire for kinkiness in the bedroom …
In Seize the Night, Remi Montgomery knows that something is shifty is

source of the original rivalry. Five years ago, a night of unbridled passion turned
the two families against each other and it’s now up to Remi and Julien to get
to the bottom of it …
