Mia Varano,
Sex and the Single Pearl
“Menage”

If one man is good, then two must be better. With the rise of erotic romance over the last fifteen years, readers are becoming bolder and more willing to explore scenarios that would have been unimagineable when Red Sage first opened for business. The menage a trois story is just such a scenario.

But not all menages are made alike. Red Sage fans might love to push boundaries, but they still want a powerful, emotional romance underlying the wild sex. And they’ve got it in “Sex and the Single Pearl.” Just as the pearl pendant combines beauty with decadent wish fulfillment, Mia Varano’s stories will always blend heart-pounding menage with heart-satisfying romance. You really can have it both ways!

Lila Dubois,
Kitsune
“Magic”

There’s a special kind of magic in being swept away by passion. Time hangs suspended as every nerve ending, every pulse of our hearts, every indrawn breath becomes supercharged with erotic and emotional nuance. For fifteen years, Red Sage has been recreating that magic between the covers of its books.

But there’s a second kind of magic in Kitsune. As paranormal romance stormed the reading scene, Kitsune delivered a magical, mythical heroine. She’s part fox and part immortal, and she alone can help the hero cope with his own dual identity. And her power to fill suitcases with designer clothes just with the wave of her magical hand? That’s a happy bonus.

Alice Gaines,

The Hot-Blooded Husband

“Launch”

They say you should begin as you mean to go on. This is why we launched both the Secrets Anthologies and the Red Sage Presents e-books with novellas by Alice Gaines. We started strong with crowd-pleasing stories from this popular author.

“The Hot-Blooded Husband” represents another first for Red Sage — our first e-book featuring a dash of male-male sexual content. Dan and Brad, highly competitive macho men, can turn anything into a contest. When their wives ban them from their bedrooms, the men are soon engaged in a battle to prove which of them craves sexual satisfaction more. You’ll laugh out loud as they resolve that issue in yet another unforgettable Alice Gaines story.
