eryka's collectible & HTF romances

So how does this work? Well, the author's name is in bold, followed by the title, the publisher (usually) and the condition. A is really awesome condition; B is less awesome condition, a couple of cracks on the spine but pages are still tight and the book is still pretty; C is a book which has been very VERY well-read; cracks on the spine, some stamps, etc. For an exhaustive description of the book, again, email me. Oh, shipping and handling for one book is $3.00, and $.50 more per book thereafter. SIP means there's a Sale in Progress.

Happy hunting and reading!

Midnight Jewels, Worldwide, C+ original edition $10
Mercy Pennington liked to play it safe. Before she opened her cozy secondhand bookstore, she researched her prospects and minimized her risks. So she never should have handled a rare edition of erotica called the Valley of Secret Jewels. And she should have locked the door of her shop before Croft Falconer walked in.
Falconer enjoyed violence, not literature - beautifully controlled violence of the Asian martial arts. And he looked fighting mad when he learned Mercy promised Valley of the Secret Jewels to another buyer. Falconer argued with her, offering her a small fortune, and then tender seduction. As volatile as a match and dynamite, Mercy and Falconer lit sparks like the Fourth of July. But the real fireworks started when she discovered he had told her almost everything a woman falling in live wanted to hear. Falconer only forgot to mention one little thing; the secret behind the book of forbidden passion that could get them both killed.
