Blurb:
When Pearl's sheltered life shatters in the 1930s when her mother dies, her only
option is to move in with poor family relations and shuck oysters in the local
plant on Oyster Island, Maryland.
Determined to live a morally proper life, the last thing she wants is an affair with a
white man, but Caleb, the plant owner, knows a pearl when he sees one. The
successful widower is the “oyster king” of the island, but his intense desire
for his forbidden new employee, a woman of color, threatens everything he’s built.
What begins as a private sexual liaison flowers into strong feelings that don't fit
the social mores of the island. When their secret is discovered, they risk
losing everything. They dared to pluck the pearl, but will their love be strong
enough to keep it forever?

“You’re standing awfully close,” she whispered.
“I am, aren’t I?” he whispered back. “Do you want me to move?”
Yes! No! Oh Lord, help me. I’ve never felt so weak.
“Show me the next step—with the oyster, that is,” she said quickly.
“Certainly.” He gripped her hand around the knife again and made deft movements to cut the meat from the shell. “Cut here and there. That’s all there is to it.”
“You make it look so simple,” she said, realizing he could pull her out of her shell just as easily.
When he stepped away from her, her legs nearly gave out. It was as if the hardness that had been nestled against her was the only thing that had been keeping her standing upright in front of the
table.
He stepped beside her and she watched, fascinated, as he tipped the oyster half with the meat on it to his mouth. Watching the wet creature slide past the dark hairs of his moustache intrigued
her in a way she couldn’t explain.
When he bent forward to kiss her, she was too aroused to refuse. His pale blue eyes came closer than they ever had and all she could do was stare helplessly into them. It was as if she floated higher and higher into the sky, never to set foot on firm earth again.
She felt his moustache first, hot and coarse, and then his lips, cooler and wetter. As his mouth worked over hers, something pushed between her lips. His tongue? She met it with hers, stroking with an abandon she refused to acknowledge as her own.
He tasted of the sea. No, not just one tongue. Two? She was too distracted by the heat boiling through her belly to care. When he removed his mouth, she realized he’d put the oyster inside her
mouth.
Without thinking, she spit it out and it landed on the floor.
Caleb tipped his head back and laughed. It was a beautiful man’s laugh, musical and deep. Unfortunately she didn’t feel very amused.
“Now Ernie would have a fit if he saw you messed up his clean floor,” he said. “I take it you don’t care for oysters.”
She crossed her arms. “No, I don’t. I thought you had swallowed it. And you shouldn’t have kissed me.”
He wiped his hand on one of the clean rags nearby and she did the same. Then he leaned an elbow against the table and looked at her.
“Why not, honey? We’re not married.”
“In case you haven’t noticed,” she said, “we’re not the same color—or social class, for that matter. You’re the owner of this establishment and I’m just a poor—”
He put two fingers to her lips to quiet her. The lingering scent of oysters drifted from them, making her breathe faster. She was beginning to like oysters…

Seven Minutes of Seduction
Dark closet + sexy boss + 7 minutes = too HOT to stop!
Releases March 16th!
Ever had a fantasy about the boss?
Despite Eliza Worth’s attraction to her boss, Zach Taunton, she’s so fed up with his unreasonable demands she’s decided to look for another job. Her matchmaking friend Margo, determined to give Eliza some sexual healing for her work stress, invites her to a singles mixer, where Eliza reluctantly agrees to play a game of Seven Minutes in Heaven.
In a dark closet, Eliza is quickly brought to the edge and beyond by a sexy mystery man. Her initial intrigue quickly turns to horror when she discovers her masterful, anonymous lover is none other than her slave-driving boss himself—and Zach seems to want her for a lot longer than seven minutes.
But first he’ll have to relinquish some control and negotiate his way into her heart.

When a sweet, pink cloud drifted toward him, Jay Walters forgot all about the tension knotting his shoulders from the long nights of work. He was studying and quantifying the sexual energy that ran the planet—trying to find enough energy to launch and control a spaceship.
“Lorna must be here,” Logan commented.
Jay’s cock didn’t need to be told. It already sensed the presence of the sexy brunette, who delivered lunch daily to Gal-X’s top space team. Most women struggled to hide the pink energy light that emanated from between their legs but not Lorna. He put his glasses back on to help see through the haze.
Her high heels tapped across the glossy, tile floor of the research office.
He was so stiff. He pushed his spreadsheets away. There was no way he could work with this woman around.
“Good afternoon, gentlemen,” Lorna said in her silky, alto voice as she set the carton of food on his desk. Just hearing it made hot fluid leak from the tip of his penis.
“Something smells good,” Logan said. The big, light-haired “alien” from Geo, an Earth colony like Chromefield, helped her take the food out of the carton.
Something definitely smelled good, Jay thought but it wasn’t the food. Lorna always wore a sweet, fruity lotion that made her shapely legs shiny smooth and emanated a scent that screamed “fuck me”.
