BLURB:
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.

Excerpt
I turned toward the frameless picture windows lining the
entire exterior wall and was presented with a breathtaking, unobstructed view
of the harbor. Smack dab in the middle, behind an antique mahogany desk, stood
the tallest, most impressive man I’d ever seen. The black suit he wore matched
the surroundings, professional and sleek. The top three buttons on his white
shirt undone, dark sprigs of hair peeked through and begged for my attention.
As I got closer, his eyes scanned me from head, to chest, to
hips and up and down my long legs at least three times, resting on my ruby-red
tiptoes.
Ha! Two could play at that game. Using the exact pace he
did, I snapped mental pictures of every God given, Mr. Universe muscle. A wavy
black ponytail, pulled tight at the nape, crested his wide shoulders and dipped
to mid-chest, bringing my journey to a momentary pause. A taut dress shirt
molded to his pecs became an instant favorite and preference I didn’t know I
had. As I gravitated lower, the desk impeded my view, coming to rest at his
waist and a nondescript silver belt buckle. My eyes drifted back up, wishing I
could see more, but his tailored jacket without a hint of lint on it kept him hidden.
Still, from what I could take in, the man had sin engraved all over him.
I stopped in front of his desk and realized my earlier
assessment of him had been right. My six five in heels, shrunk to five feet the
way he towered over me by several inches. “Linc?” The wispiness of my voice
made me cringe. Way to go, Serena.
His answer, one sharp nod. In the corners around each eye,
little wrinkles appeared as he took another long journey over my body. Knees
locked together, I tried hard not to fidget. “I’m Serena. Mylaynee said my
interview was at twelve thirty. I’m a little early. I didn’t mean to interrupt
if you were in the middle of something.” D*mn, there I went, rambling. Yeah,
that would have him eating out of my hands.
Linc rounded the desk, coming toe to toe.
"You’re a virgin."
