Book description
Pleasure and pain, she'll discover how much she loves both when she
is...spanked by a Roman. While vacationing in Cape Code, Lyla Thomas, a
motivational speaker, has a chance encounter with Mark Hardin, the
mysterious proprietor of a strange old bookstore. Mark possesses an
uncanny insight into her desire for pleasure-pain. He may just be her
Mr. Right. But when she discovers an ancient volume filled with drawings
of men and women engaged in hot sex, including some spicy BDSM, she
unwittingly touches a catalyst embedded in the cover of the book that
hurls her and Mark backwards in time. Reader Advisory: This book
contains elements of BDSM and spanking, FF intimacy and MFM ménage love
scenes. There is also a scene of dubious consent. _x000D_ I sank my
writing teeth into my first romance novel after years of reading my
favourite authors...Linda Howard, Karen Robards, Kat Martin (just to
name a few!) Those ladies inspired me to write my own romances and now,
it's my passion. I'm fascinated by the paranormal...I love to be scared.
Ghost stories are my favourite. As a child I read 'The Haunting of Hill
House' by Shirley Jackson (it was made into a movie a couple of
times...a good one to watch with your favourite honey...and cuddle up to
when it gets real scary!) That book made me want to write ghost stories
and heightened my interest in the paranormal. I also enjoy writing
spicy, sensual, modern-day romance with an added twist of suspense. Born
in the land of the 'Midnight Sun' ( Fairbanks, Alaska ), I'm an 'army
brat.' When my mother's plane landed at Ladd Air Force Base in Fairbanks
(no army base...they had to share with the air force back then!) she
didn't want to get off - she and my sister were decked out in heavy
winter coats and boots - my mother figured it was always icy cold &
snowy in Alaska. Meanwhile, it was summer - and 100 degrees! My father
stood there waiting for her on the tarmac in a short-sleeve shirt,
shorts & sunglasses. She never forgot the experience - and neither
did my father. That summer, my mother said the sun never set - there was
24 hours of daylight. Soon we moved on, and at the tender age of three,
my family and I settled on Long Island, where I've resided ever since.
Long Island's North Shore 'Gold Coast' is where many of my books &
stories take place - it's beautiful! Cliffs that look out over the Long
Island Sound...a rocky, sandy coastline where pirates once smuggled in
contraband...and fabulous old mansions from 'old money' families abound.
When the hubby and I are not on the go, we're spending time with our two
terrific children (now grown) and...our two cats.
