A Sixpence In Her Shoe by Liz Andrews
Melanie Parsons is a curator at the Smithsonian, specializing in nineteenth and twentieth century artifacts. A rash of burglaries causes Brady Torres, a member of United Americas Security, to be called in to investigate.

Melanie comes from a Traditionalist family, a fundamental group of individuals who want to return to the ideals of an earlier time. Although she doesn’t believe in those ideals, especially when it comes to marriage, she has two little secrets. She loves for a man to control her in the bedroom and the particular man she is longing to take that control is none other than Agent Brady Torres.

The UAS believes Traditionalists are behind the burglaries, but Brady is not sold on the idea and proposes they use a wedding dress from the 1800s as bait to capture the thieves. The dress, from Melanie’s own family, is the one thing that keeps Brady believing he might have a chance with Melanie. He figures she wouldn’t keep the dress around if she didn’t secretly harbor a desire to find true love and marry for a lifetime.

If Brady loses the dress to the thieves will he also lose his chance with Melanie?

Melanie Parsons è un curatore dello Smithsonian, specializzata in manufatti del diciannovesimo e ventesimo secolo. Un'intrusione da parte di un gruppo di ladri porta Brady Torres, un membro dell'unità di sicurezza americana, ad essere chiamato per indagare.

Melanie viene da una famiglia tradizionalista, un gruppo fondamentale di individui che desidera tornare agli ideali di un tempo che fu. Anche se non crede in quegli ideali, particolarmente quando si tratta di matrimonio, lei ha due piccoli segreti. Desidera un uomo che la controlli in camera da letto e l'uomo in particolare che desidera prendere il controllo altri non è che l'agente Brady Torres.

L'UAS crede che i tradizionalisti siano dietro i furti, ma Brady non ne è sicuro e propone di usare un abito da sposa del 1800 come esca per catturare i ladri. Il vestito, appartenuto alla famiglia di Melanie, è l'unica cosa che trattiene Brady dal credere che potrebbe avere una probabilità con Melanie. Si immagina che lei non avrebbe tenuto il vestito a portata di mano se non avesse segretamente desiderato di trovare il vero amore e di sposarsi per sempre.

Se Brady perde il vestito per colpa dei ladri perderà anche la sua possibilità con Melanie?

Things are never as good as they seem. And no one knows better than Alejandro. He just can't understand how the two of them can be so open and willing to include him in their relationship. Although he enjoys sharing Nichelle with Terrance, he doesn't believe a relationship like theirs can last. He's willing to give his body but not his soul.

Unfortunately for him, Nichelle wants it all. And what Nichelle wants, she gets.
