Arlene: Thank you, Dawn, for
helping share word about the 1NS series with Decadent Publishing. In March of
2011, Valerie Mann’s story, To Feel Again,
was released. The reaction was so positive, three big name authors got together
and a series centered on Madam Eve was born. Decadent Publishing is proud to be
able to say that just a few years later To
Feel Again has 199 companions.
Here’s the blurb that launched 200
published novellas:
When Leah loses her fiancé, Mark,
in Afghanistan, it takes nearly a year to get to the point where she’s ready to
live again. Although she doesn’t want an emotional commitment, a night of
consensual sex, even with a stranger, might help bring her some closure after
Mark’s death. Enlisting the services of Madame Evangeline’s high-end, online
dating service, One Night Stand, promises exactly what Leah is looking for—sex
with a man she doesn’t have to see again, but one who will satisfy her physical
needs now that she's ready to move on with her life.
Jackson Castillo has no desire to go on a date with one of Evangeline’s clients. One Night Stand uses his hotel for its client’s rendezvous, but otherwise, he never gets involved. When Eve threatens to take her business elsewhere unless he helps her with a particular case, he’s no fool. He’ll go on the date. But he won’t sleep with the woman.
When one thing leads to another, his good intentions to stay out of the bedroom with Leah are shattered. The sex is phenomenal, but there’s more to Leah he wants to explore. After she leaves the next morning without a goodbye, he’s both disappointed and royally pissed. Will he let her go or find a way to convince her she’s ready…to feel again?

I’m so thrilled to be included as one of these 200: http://decadent1nightstand.blogspot.com/
Dear Madame
Evangeline,
As you can see by my attached application, I am an ideal candidate
for your matching service. Unless you believe in ghosts (ha ha), it’ll be
impossible for me to breach contract by attempting to find anyone who wishes to
remain a stranger after a one-night stand.
This would surely be a risk-free set up for any potential date.
Please consider leaving out details of my identity, as I fear opportunistic
journalists/news reporters. With that in mind, I left the preferred height,
weight, shape, race, personality, and so forth options blank. Clean with an XY
chromosome is more than I deserve, and all this sinner would hope for.
If you’re wondering how one such as me could have the audacity to
even contact you, well, what do I have to lose? I beg pardon for my crudeness,
but seeing as electrocution is currently an acceptable form of execution in
this sovereign state, I’ve fantasized for months about a bang the night prior
to the roast.
I have the means to persuade the warden into allowing this
rendezvous to happen. Authorities may agree just to avoid agitation between the
anticipated media spectacle and me. There’s been much controversy concerning a
woman in the electric chair for the first time in a decade, and the warden
expects I’ll remain steadfast in my refusal to appeal or prolong the
inevitable. With consideration of my right to exit this world sooner rather
than later, I anticipate every home within a thousand mile radius will have
their power off Saturday afternoon, two weeks from today.
I’ll be moved to the D ward shortly and unable to converse further
with anyone but the chaplain and warden. Please consider this my last request.
Sincerely,
Prison number 24609
Joan Bennett
