What could be sexier or more seductive than tanning oil on bare, sun-warmed skin?

Best-selling erotica author Alison Tyler gathers explicit stories of summer sex bursting with the sweet eroticism of swimsuits, sprinklers, and ripe strawberries.

Raise your temperature with Matthew I. Jackson's "Spectators," in which a couple taking lunch on their veranda are serenaded by an unknown woman's cries of passion. Get steamy with Tom Piccirilli's palm-dampening "Double-Click to Enter," the story of a work-at-home writer who confirms his suspicions about what his blonde neighbor does with her web cam. And bring a flush to your face with Simone Harlowe's "Bikini," in which a businesswoman nervously shopping for swimwear finds a tall, insistent stranger at her dressing room door.

The very definition of hot erotica, Heat Wave calls for an icy drink, fresh towels, and a fan in an open window.
