The Proposition Agent Chance Mitchell made sexy cop Natalie Gibbs a proposition she couldn't refuse: all the pleasure she could handle. But only for one night.The next time Chance saw Natalie, she'd disguised herself as ‘Rachel Cade.’ When the blonde bombshell boldly seduced him, he couldn't say no. Chance had planned to convince Natalie to help him find a stolen diamond but he asked ‘Rachel’ instead.For the case, Chance needed Natalie to pose as ‘Calli,’ a supermodel sexpot. Now he never knew which woman he was in bed with! And, worst of all, he wasn't willing to give up any of them… The DareDoes struggling reporter Rory Gibbs dare to score the first-ever photo of reclusive business tycoon Jared Slade? Little does she know she'll first have to get past his big, sexy bodyguard, Mark Hunter.Hunter promises he'll get her an interview with his boss on two conditions: she hands over the photos – and gives him one kiss. But one kiss leads to an explosive encounter. And then another. And another! The FavourAfter a kiss with a mysterious stranger gets out of control, sensible academic Sierra Gibbs is both frightened and excited by what security specialist Ryder Kane does to her. Ryder’s line of work requires him to be daring and impulsive–exactly what Sierra wants in bed.But when she gets caught in the middle of the dangerous case he's working on, even the bold new Sierra isn't sure she can handle a man like Ryder. That is, until Ryder starts calling in some favours of his own… The P.I.Private investigator-slash-crime writer Kit Angelis is closing up shop when trouble walks in. But this damsel really is in distress: covered in blood, she's carrying a wedding dress, a bagful of cash, a recently fired handgun and Kit's card. And she can't remember a thing…Suddenly Kit is embroiled in a deadly mystery—and the key is this sultry stranger. She might be a killer. Or she might be totally innocent. All Kit is sure of is that this woman is going to be the hottest thing that ever happened to him… The CopOff-duty detective Nik Angelis is the first on the scene at a wedding gone very, very wrong. The only witness is the caterer, fiery redhead J.C. Riley, who's eager to make her statement. So eager, in fact, Nik can't help thinking of other things she could do with her mouth!J.C. needs Nik's protection. But what she wants is his rock-hard body. Nik aims to be professional, but a man can take only so much… The DefenderTheo Angelis definitely puts the ‘hot’ in ‘hotshot lawyer’. Or at least, that’s lawyer Sadie Oliver’s opinion. If only there was time to explore the chemistry simmering between them…But there isn’t because Sadie desperately needs Theo’s help. Her brother lies in hospital facing a murder charge, and their sister is missing. Even Sadie herself is being followed by unsavoury-looking characters. Yet Sadie’s not about to take it lying down (unless Theo asks, of course)…

Natalieâs dress slid to the floor. She was wearing nothing beneath it.
Chance gripped her shoulders hard. âI want to know who the hell you are.â
Natalie smiled and stepped toward him. âI can be anyone you want.â
He couldnât wait any longer to touch her. Clamping one arm around her waist, he pulled her into the shower with him.
She grabbed the soap playfully. âI can be Rachel.â Her slick hands slid over his skin, leaving trails of ice and fire in their wake. Her fingers drew a line to his waist and then lower. He closed his eyes as her hot fist enclosed him.
âOr I can be Calli.â She began to stroke him gently.
âOr I can be both.â Her laugh was a breath in his ear before her tongue darted inside. âI could be two women at once. Is that what you want?â
All Chance was certain of was that he needed her with a desperation that threatened to slice him in two. âWhat I want is you. Now.â
D.C. cop Natalie Gibbs prides herself on being able to handle men on the job and offâ¦until Chance Mitchell comes into her life and she finds she wants her hands on the sexy insurance investigator a bit too much. When Chance proposes one night of no-strings, no-complications, no-etiquette sex, the very practical Natalie sees his proposition as the perfect way to get him out of her system for good.
The problem is that one night with Chance Mitchell isnât nearly enough, and after three months Natalie decides that sheâs willing to run any risk to lure him back into her bedâeven if she has to disguise herself to do itâ¦.
This is just the beginning of Natalie and Chanceâs adventure. I hope youâll come along for the ride and watch them ultimately take the biggest risk any two people can take when they risk their hearts.
Developing this miniseriesâRISKING IT ALLâhas allowed me to write about three fascinating triplet sisters who have very different dreams, talents and goals. But they have one thing in commonâtheyâre willing to risk everything to get what they want. I hope you will look for Roryâs and Sierraâs stories, The Dare (June) and The Favor (July), and that you will enjoy reading them as much as I have enjoyed writing them.
I would love to hear what you think about these stories. You can e-mail me through my Web site, www.carasummers.com.
Happy reading!

To my sister in heart and dear friendâKathy Eagan.
Thanks for your support, your inspiration and your never-wavering belief in me. I love you. And to all sisters everywhere.
Summer 1999
HARRY GIBBS was a man whoâd spent his life taking risks and loving every minute of it. For an international jewel thief, risks were a part of the game, and Harry had always played the game very well.
Of course, heâd been born smart and lucky. As for his other talentsâsuch as his Houdini-like knack for opening locks and his gift for disguiseâwell, those heâd honed to perfection over the years.
And look where his chosen profession had gotten him. Standing on the balcony of his Tuscan villa, Harry watched as the summer sun bathed the vineyards below in a golden light. Although he had a small cottage outside of Dublin and an apartment in Paris, this was his favorite residence in between jobs.
Some would call his the perfect life.
Harry bit back a sigh. No life was perfect, and he had reason to know this better than most men. Life, heâd discovered, boiled down to a series of choices that you either embraced or rejected. Ten years ago, heâd made a big decisionâto leave his wife and ten-year-old triplet daughters behind so that he could resume his career as a master thief.
His wife Amanda had wanted Natalie, Rory and Sierra to have a ânormalâ life. Heâd wanted that for the girls, too. So for ten years, heâd tried, but in the end he just couldnât accept that ânormalâ life for himself.
As the light pouring over the valley slowly darkened and the shadows lengthened, Harry finally let out the sigh heâd been holding back. There wasnât a day that passed when he didnât miss his family. And on this particular warm summer night, the twentieth anniversary of the day the triplets were born, he missed them more than ever.
He moved into the salon, then crossed to the bar and poured champagne into a flute. Six more yearsâhe and Amanda had agreed on that. He wouldnât contact the girls or try to see them until their twenty-sixth birthday.
Tonight, the six years seemed like forever, and lately heâd begun to feel that perhaps time was running out for him.
