Yara's Teasers:

"You can't control the lighting yet, it sort of jumps out of you when you're upset," Licas said after a long pause. He was looking at her strangely.

"Is it like a Taser?" Helen asked anxiously, suddenly snapping out of her trance.

Jenny's Teaser: 

We opened another bottle of wine as she regaled me with the highlights of her India trip and I filled her in on all the news about me and Derek Stone, the hunky British security expert I’d met a few months back during a murder investigation. Yes, we’d done the deed, as she’s shouted to the world earlier. And yes, he was opening a San Francisco branch of Stone Security. And yes, our relationship was so new that I still tingled every time I thought of him, and yes, I’d boldly offered him a place to stay-with-me-until he found a home in San Francisco. So yes, he was staying here, but no, he wasn’t home at the moment. Right now, he was flying back from Kuala Lumpur, where he’d provided security for an installation of priceless artwork from the Louvre. And yes, I’d been threatened by another vicious killer. Robin had been packing to leave for India at the time and wasn’t around to hear the gory details. The killer was safely tucked away in jail now. And that was my last three weeks in a nutshell.

Ana's Teaser: 

"What's the use of dating a banker if not to take advantage of some of the perks?"

"Personality? Compatibility?"

"And the fact that he's so sexy he can charm the panties right off a woman just by looking at her?"

"Oh yeah, that, too" I giggled.

Trudy's Teaser: 

"I don't care why you're here. Just leave."

A faint rustling told him she'd stood. "William, I must talk to you. I hoped you weren't still upset about us--"

"There was no 'us.' We were an illusion."
