The Deets...
What would you do to improve your life?
Twenty-one-year-old Serena Thomas is faced with a tough decision.
Unable to get ahead of debt and loneliness since her grandmother’s death she
finds a new job, placing the sheltered virgin in an underground escort
business. She tells herself it’s just a temporary life choice, but destiny has
a different plan. She meets a mysterious and gorgeous man, who happens to be
her new boss. Will Serena fit in or will she be left all alone again?
Lincoln (aka: Linc) Jefferson has an unusual life. He established
The Lounge, an exclusive escort club for very personal reasons. A place where
the women say who, when, and what type of sex they’re willing to have. The
escorts possess all the power and the money. It’s a business Linc guards at all
costs. Trying to maintain the secrecy is a constant challenge and one that’s
tested when he enters into a relationship with Serena. She tempts him unlike
any woman, even though he’s surrounded by beauty on a daily basis. The more
time they spend together the harder it is for him to keep his secrets. Will
Serena stand by his side or will she abandon him?
Sparks and passion fly, taking these two on a journey neither
could have expected.
A Sneak Peek Inside...
He yanked me up from my seat and
launched his lips on mine so fast the contact zapped me with a thousand volts.
His strokes, bold at first, lightened to soft, tender kisses almost as if he
was asking permission to enter—to taste.
The heat from his hands, holding my
upper arms, seared me.
My fists clenched and unclenched
over and over at my sides.
Touch him? Don’t touch him?
Unable to deny myself, I moved
closer, aligning my body with his. My hands gravitated of their own volition,
melting to his tight abs and drifting upward, over his chest and up to his
neck, where I held on for the ride.
His loud groan rumbled across my
breasts, and his firm arms wound around my back, crushing me against him.
For the first time in my life, I
surrendered and parted my lips, ready to welcome him in. Instead of tongues
diving toward one another, Linc stilled and clamped his mouth shut. As I
started to step away, he clenched my hips, holding me in place. He pressed his
forehead to mine and slammed his eyes closed.
Kiss me, please.
