It's mating season for the elk of Northern California and Gayle Richards is headed for a cabin in the redwood forest to continue her research on their mating habits. This time, she's invited along her professional nemesis, Nolan Hersch. They have butted heads for years at professional conferences due to their differing views on the Elk's mating habits, particularly in regards to the male and female roles. She's hoping their collaboration will help her career and expand his mind. She's also hoping that the presence of his grad students will help her keep her intense attraction to him under control... too bad they don't show up! Before long, Gayle and Nolan are conducting their own sexual experiment to prove who is more insatiable in bed, men or women. As you might guess, this is the type of challenge where everyone is a winner.

MATING SEASON is full of the same sexy, erotic play that characterizes all the novellas in Alice Gaines' Cabin Fever series. The smarty, witty banter that flows between Nolan and Gayle makes for a fun story.

Book Summary

Being stuck together in a redwood forest can really bring your inner animal out . . .

The last thing Gayle Richards wanted was to spend days alone in a cabin with Nolan Hersch, fellow professor and macho loudmouth. How could she observe the animals' mating habits alongside a man who made her blood boil…and not just in anger? The only thing more frustrating than Nolan's opinions on male sexual superiority was how much he made her want to rip his clothes off.

Well, the thin air in the mountains must have gone to Gayle's head, because she sets up a challenge: three days to prove who's more insatiable in bed. With Gayle and Nolan making their best efforts to wear each other out, this may just be the sexiest experiment of all.
