Men In—and Out—of Uniform
One glance and your heart will melt—these chiseled, brave men will ignite your fantasies with their courage and charisma. In High Octane Heroes, award-winning romance writer Delilah Devlin has gathered stories of hunky, red-blooded guys who enter danger zones in the name of duty, honor, country and even love. This set of smoldering-hot adventures has an intensity that leaps off the page as "super-alpha" heroes risk their lives to protect and cherish those in need.
In "Besieged," a Special Forces soldier rescues his lover from an embassy takeover. An American Air Force pilot and a grieving British woman find solace in each other’s arms in "The Star." A sexy SWAT team leader saves a rookie during a bungled undercover assignment in "Renegade." And get ready for an undercover cop who flexes more than his "Big Guns."
Set in far away regions of the world and in your own neighborhoods, High Octane Heroes delivers passion, danger and heart.
"If you like this kind of hero, if he hits every one of your buttons, then this is an anthology for you. A collection devoted solely to that kind of man. The super-alpha male, regardless of what—or any—uniform he wears." —Maya Banks, New York Times bestselling author of the Breathless Trilogy

Industry Reviews
"i love men in uniform and was excited to see a whole anthology full of stories based on them. HIGH OCTANE HEROES: EROTIC ROMANCE FOR WOMEN edited by Delilah Devlin is a great anthology that will pull readers in with its hot and sexy characters. This book gives readers fifteen different stories. There are so many men to choose from in these stories from cops and firefighters to prison guards and all that comes in between. Each story has its merits making it hard for me to choose just one favorite out of so many. Each story gives readers an alpha male that shows us why woman and men are so drawn to them. I loved these hot and fast paced stories." --Fresh Fiction "Another lovely title from Cleis Press. This erotic romance anthology is dedicated to a love of the red-blooded male, the "super-alpha," the guy who dominates any situation, who's usually in uniform, who faces danger, dodges speeding bullets, arrests the bad guy, rescues the damsel, and gets said damsel in the end." --San Francisco Book Review "Serious alpha males who are ready to swoop in and save the day, steal a few hearts, and set fire to the sheets." --Publishers Weekly "High Octane Heroes will satisfy the reader who craves the romantic idea of that 'super alpha' man.'" --Erotica Readers and Writers Association "The delightful combination of various writing styles that focus on different aspects of what makes an alpha male so romantic and heroic provide vivid examples of the various factors which mold these complex men who are driven to serve and protect." --Night Owl Reviews Top Pick "This is a great read and a fantastic way to while away a few hours dreaming of hunks and heroes and sexy situations.

You won't regret it!" --Manic Readers "Turn on the air, grab a cold drink and relax as you do some real hero worship." --Reviews by Amos Lassen "If you like hot this is sizzling [...] This added some pizzazz to my libido and that is always welcome in my loving relationship with my husband!" --Networking Witches
