Jane Chartraine doesn’t believe in ghosts. But she would like to move out of her mother’s house and live an independent life if she can get out from under student loans.

So she seizes the opportunity to earn a cool five thousand by spending forty eight hours in the deserted Newland mansion. To prove it’s not haunted.

Jane’s level headed notions of reality are knocked for a loop by the ghosts of a murdered playboy, his scheming stepmother and a psychic healer who just happens to be on her second lifetime. Not to mention that handsome Pierce Newland hasn’t had a woman in his arms for over eight decades.

As Pierce says, it’s a bit of a shock resurrecting a ghost and being responsible for him.

Jane learns more about bringing a man to modern times and about wild sex than she ever imagined.

Excerpt:

She had to ask the question. "So what are you doing here? Who are you?"

He gave a little bow. "Pierce Newland at your service. Strictly speaking, I’m a ghost." He rubbed his hands down his arms. "Or I was a ghost. I feel pretty solid right now. You touched me. If you touch a ghost you bring it into the present as flesh and blood."

Jane felt faint. "I didn’t know that about ghosts. Remind me not to touch another one."

He laughed. "Not very likely. How many ghosts do you encounter in a lifetime?"

"Not too many." She put out her hand to steady herself and Pierce seized her fingers. His were warm and firm.

"You need to sit down. It’s a bit of a shock resurrecting a ghost and being responsible for him."

"Responsible?" She was beginning to sound like an echo.

"You know the saying that when you save someone’s life you’re responsible for them forever?"

Did she? She couldn’t remember if she’d known that or not because Pierce had pulled her against his side and his arm was now round her waist. She breathed in a lovely aroma of tweed and soap and man.

HOT TO THE TOUCH

ISBN: 1-4199-0365-9

In Rome in the year 79 Claudia, a high born widow, is promised in
marriage to yet another elderly man. She despairs of ever finding a young,
virile husband and learning the pleasures of the bed that poets sing
about...Until her brother returns in triumph, bringing with him a slave who
sets her body aflame and her heart aglow.

Karl can fulfill her every wish because she owns him-until she finds herself
enslaved by passion.

On her way to her marriage in Pompeii, Vesuvius erupts, burying Pompeii and
providing the perfect escape.
 

Here is just one review: 

Readers, grab your toys, this is one VERY HOT READ. The story of Claudia and Karl is so hot I'm surprised I didn't melt into a puddle while I was reading it. The eroticism of Claudia and Karl is so beautifully written. You can feel the heat, the hunger, the anticipation, the joy, the beauty, the pleasure, the wonder, the gentleness. It's an extraordinary connection. This story also satisfies every conqueror or warrior fantasy imaginable. During the entire story there's a constant feeling of take me now conveyed by Claudia's overwhelming desire for Karl. I loved this story. It is scorching and I cannot wait to read Ms. Dawson's other books. I recommend it to everyone.

She moistened her lips and stood still, waiting. Her breasts ached with longing and moisture from her arousal spread around her thighs. She could hardly breathe, for fear of exploding right there in public.

"Have you come for dinner?" His voice was low and she detected a slight tremor.

"No. I’ve come for you."
