Tell Me a Story Synopsis:
Emma,
a free-spirited bookstore owner in Orlando, keeps her business afloat
with innovative ideas. Her most popular evening event is Story Brothel,
where customers can pay writers to read aloud to them in a story-time
for two, complete with cocktails. Despite the name, the event is usually
tame.
But things take a steamy turn when a handsome, urbane businessman hires Emma for a session in a private cabana. Daringly, she shares with him a reading of her erotica. Soon both of them are feeling the effects … and Emma’s wondering what kind of lover is underneath his expensive suit.
Caleb may be a billionaire real estate mogul, but he’s never been captivated by a woman as he is by the lovely, quirky Emma. Her rockabilly vintage dresses make him long to strip them off and do very wicked things to her. And her refusal to share her personal life only makes him more curious.
Soon the couple are spending every available moment together. But Emma’s building is in danger of being razed out from under her bookstore … and worse, Caleb may be behind her problems. Can she trust him with her life as she does with her body? Or will the prickly walls built during her harsh past keep them apart?
**This is a stand-alone novella. But Caleb and Emma's journey will continue in the summer of 2016...**
**EXCERPT**

As
I read in a steady voice, Caleb alternated from looking toward the sky
to looking at me. At one point, when I was reading a particularly
explicit passage, Caleb bit his lip and stared at me.
Was
he horrified? Turned on? I sneaked a little glance to see if he had an
erection beneath his charcoal-gray suit pants. Dear God, he did have an
erection. A huge one.
This
made me grin a little, but I didn’t stop reading. He must have
willpower of steel to be able to lie there for long minutes with a
hard-on and not make a move to touch me. He didn’t even extend a lone
fingertip to my legs, which were inches from his body. It was actually
kind of frustrating, and I squirmed a millimeter closer to him.
Arianna
wanted not just a bad man, but also one who would indulge her
fantasies. Someone who would throw her against a wall, on the bed,
wherever he wanted. Someone who would pull her hair, spank
her ass, and then soothe her with soft kisses when it was all over.
Someone who would make the sheets slip violently off the bed at night
and who could talk about intelligent things over breakfast.
Someone like Trent.
I
paused from reading to catch my breath. I was fully perspiring now,
between the warm Florida air and my excitement. Already, my inner thighs
were slippery with sweat and my own juices. I didn’t know I’d get so
excited by reading out loud. Or maybe I was turned on by reading to Caleb.
“What
do you think so far?” I asked, setting my tablet on my lap and trying
to look serious. It was difficult keeping a straight face after reading
all that.
“Well,
it’s interesting, at least for me, because it’s from a woman’s point of
view. I wouldn’t expect a woman to have these…uh, desires. And yet, a
guy wouldn’t write about sex this tenderly. It’s intimate. Well, this part is. You write good sex. Sexy sex.”
“Thank
you.” My mouth was parched, and I wondered if I should pause our
reading and run to the bar for some ice water. I didn’t really want to
leave his side; that was the thing. I was enjoying this too much.
