The Dresden Files, #15.6. Twelve Dresden Files stories, some of which have been published before, and at least one of which I have read before. Pretty darn good stories, too!

She was speaking to me over a ham radio from somewhere in the wilds of unsettled Canada, and was shouting to maker herself heard over the static and the patch between the radio and the phone.

"I could gaze longingly at your décolletage while you talk, if you like."
"Given how much trouble I go to in order to show it off, it would seem polite."
I lowered my eyes demurely to her chest for a moment. "Well. If I must."
The Dresden Files, #3. Harry investigates a rash of missing persons. Also, struggles to say three little words to Susan.

"Oh. Damn. This is one of those right and wrong issues again, isn't it."
"Yes, one of those."
"I'm still confused about this whole morality thing, Harry."
"Join the club," I muttered.

The Dresden Files, #4.
Harry has to deal with all the "bosses" of the winter and summer courts.
I read this as part of The Dresden Files Collection featuring the first six novels in the series.
Quote:
The skirt showed exactly enough leg to make it hard not to look, and her dark pumps had heels just high enough to give you ideas.

"Do you?" she said, still very quiet. "Do you know how I feel? Did you lose your first love?" -- Why yes, I sort of did.
Quote:
She leaned down and purred, "Hello, Lloyd. We should have a talk."
Quote:
"Elaine," [...] "I'd say I was glad to see you, but I'm not sure."
"That's because you always were a little dense, Harry," she said, her voice tart.
The Dresden Files, #2. Harry has to deal with werewolves. I had no idea there were different kinds of werewolves!
