Synopsis:
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.” Damn, 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.”
