      Three women. Three fantasies.

      Years ago Gemma, Zoe and Violet all took the same

       college sex-ed class, one they laughingly referred to as

       Sex for Beginners. It was an easy credit—not something

       they’d ever need in real life. Or so they thought…

      Their professor had them each write a letter, outlining

       their most private, most outrageous sexual fantasies.

       They never dreamed their letters would be returned

       to them when they least expected it. Or that their own

       words would change their lives forever…

      Dear Reader,

      Have you ever run across an old childhood diary or a note you wrote in high school or college? It can be fun, and even revealing, to see what you were thinking when you were younger, what things were important to you.

      The seniors at Women’s Covington College who took the Sexual Psyche class (dubbed by the students as “Sex for Beginners”) were given an assignment to write down their innermost sexual fantasies in the form of a letter to themselves. Their letter was to be cataloged with a code for anonymity and remain sealed for ten years, then mailed to them.

      When international flight attendant Zoe Smythe reads her letter, she’s headed to Sydney, Australia, for a leisurely layover before returning to America to be married. The naughty words she wrote years ago spur her to embark on a last-chance torrid fling with a hunky Aussie…. But will she ever want to leave?

      I hope you enjoy In a Bind, the second book in the SEX FOR BEGINNERS trilogy. Please tell your friends about the wonderful stories you find between the pages of Harlequin novels! And visit me at www.stephaniebond.com.

      Happy endings always,

      Stephanie Bond

      ABOUT THE AUTHOR

      Stephanie Bond credits romance novels with teaching her world history and geography and for giving her a case of wanderlust. It seemed only natural that she would someday be writing romance novels herself. To date, Stephanie has written more than forty romance and mystery novels, and doesn’t plan on slowing down anytime soon at what she considers to be “her dream job.” Stephanie lives in midtown Atlanta with her hunky architect/artist/hero husband.

      “JUST THINK—THIS IS YOUR LAST trip as an unmarried woman.”

      Zoe Smythe kept nodding and welcoming aboard first-class passengers on the Atlanta flight bound for Sydney, Australia, trying to ignore her friend Erica’s comment. “Welcome aboard…. Good evening…. May I take your coat?”

      Erica leaned in. “Are you going to do something wild and outrageous during your layover in Sydney after I leave?”

      Zoe gave a dry laugh. “Hardly. I brought a stack of things that have to be finalized for the wedding.”

      “That doesn’t sound like fun,” Erica said, then elbowed Zoe. “Welcome to married life.” Erica cackled at her own joke. “Well, for the two days that I’m there, I propose that we ingest large amounts of alcohol and take up residence in the hotel spa.”

      “Sounds good,” Zoe agreed.

      “Maybe we’ll get lucky and our masseuse will be a big, strapping Aussie.”

      “Maybe.” Zoe bit back a smile. Erica’s marriage was sex-starved.

      “Seriously, though, I’m going
