Primer relato de 10 Secretos de Seducci n. De d a era Eve Grant, empleada del departamento de atenci n al cliente de una empresa, y trabajaba en una oficina compartimentada y gris. De noche se convert a en Eris Apparent, diosa del sexo de la blogosfera, donde pod a expresar su verdadera personalidad con unas t rridas fantas as. En la realidad, Eve ten a deseos er ticos frustrados hacia su atractivo compa ero de trabajo, pero en el ciberespacio, Eris Apparent era cada vez m s directa y exigente en su apasionada aventura con el misterioso Tell_me. Siempre que leo alg n libro de Megan Hart termino d ndole vueltas y m s vueltas en mi cabeza. Creo que es una autora que tiene la facilidad de conectar muy bien con las emociones de las lectoras, porque no solo tiene la capacidad de entretenernos mientras leemos. De crear un mundo y personajes interesantes con los que compatibilicemos, sino que m s que eso logra hacernos pensar, y analizar cosas que a veces simplemente pasamos por alto. "Como es costumbre, cada vez que leo un libro de ella s que voy a terminar metida en un tobog n de emociones, desde la alegr a, a la frustraci n total o hasta tener que soltar algunas l grimas. Porque si algo logra la autora, es que vivamos a trav s de sus protagonistas, suframos y nos alegremos con ellas. Que lloremos con sus penas y anhelemos sus sue os. En resumen, hace lo mejor que puede hacer un escritor: meternos de lleno en el libro, y a pesar de que sus historias podr a ser repetitivas, consigue que cada una de ellas a su manera, sea un mundo aparte."

After she unwittingly frees a dangerous contract killer, a surgeon reluctantly joins forces with a tenacious detective obsessed with taking down their enemy at all costs.As a surgeon, Dr. Rennie Newton is the consummate professional. When she's summoned to jury duty, she brings competence and composure to the courtroom -- a skill she learned while performing surgeries.

It will be the most regrettable decision of her life. When a rival colleague is brutally slain, Lozada's menacing shadow looms over the murder, but the investigators pinpoint Rennie as the prime suspect. Soon, the police begin violating the privacy she has cultivated and protected at all costs. And when Lozada begins an earnest courtship, it becomes terrifyingly clear that he is obsessed with having her. Wick Threadgill is a detective on indefinite leave from the Fort Worth PD with a very personal agenda for the contract killer. Temperamental, bitter, and driven by loyalty and love, Wick is determined to destroy Lozada. In order to defeat him -- and save their own lives -- Rennie and Wick form an uneasy alliance. Mistrustful of each other, they know only one thing with absolute certainty: like one of Lozada's prize scorpions, they won't see it coming when this killer strikes. The Crush will take you on a tortuous path through a twisted sociopath's eerie obsession, a haunted man's fragile hopes for redemption, and a woman's heart as she struggles to face her greatest fear: to open herself to love.
