Blurb
What's a woman to do when a voice follows her home
and makes mad, passionate love to her?
Corporate business woman, Capricious Gray, is
dragged to a sex toy convention by her best friend. Once a shocking, mysterious
disembodied voice helps her with her purchases, it follows her home.
Passion ensues, leaving Capri torn between lust for her fantasy lover and the
desperate need for reality in her life.
Thall, son of one of the Fates, harbors the
irrepressible need to be with the woman he's desired from afar for years. In
order to make her his, once and for all, he must help Capri get past her fears,
including the fear of what he represents - a fantasy.
Can fantasy become a reality for these two lovers?
Excerpt –
Set up – Capri and her best friend, Kat, are
in an Irish pub and have had a couple of drinks.
I nestled down in my
chair. "Whole story. Don't interrupt. When we were walking through the
displays at the sex toy convention, I heard a voice. He spoke to me, but I
couldn't see who it was. He followed me home."
"A stalker!" Kat
popped her hand over her lips.
"No. A Fate. Or
actually, the son of a Fate." As I continued with my rambling and muddled,
but detailed explanation, our waitress deposited round number four. I was half
finished with it when I got to the part – "And the sex was so hot, but he
isn't real, so I told him to go away. Cause I need a man. A real man. I can't
date the air. And now I miss him."
Kat leaned over toward me.
Her breath smelled like cream ale. "So, what was it like?"
"The sex?"
"No, the nipple
clamps. I really wanted to buy a pair."
"Kat." I fell
back against the chair and rubbed my face. "I just told you I met a Fate
and had incredible beach sex and all you got out of it was I own nipple
clamps."
A frigid chill ran down my
back. I glanced up. Every male in the bar was staring at me. Most had that
stupid, horny grin on their faces. Why? Because the second I said, I own nipple clamps, the room went
dead silent and everyone heard me.
So I did what any
self-respecting but totally humiliated woman would do, I ordered another beer.
Kelly-Anne brought it over
and smiled. She was practically my bitch by now as I'd been over tipping the
whole night. "Patrick said this one's on the house."
"Well you can tell
Patrick, I'm not gonna show him my nipple clamps." I glanced up at the
other patrons. "Or anybody else."
A case of the giggles hit
Kat. She kept trying to tell me something, but would shake with laughter and
could only spit out a garbled mess of words. "Yo zed plmps."
Four and a half Guinness
Draughts in you and it doesn't take long for the infectious giggling to invade
your body. I wiped the tears of laughter from my eyes and started singing,
"When Irish eyes are smiling. De da de dum, I don't know the words. But
when Irish eyes are smiling…de dum de de da dum dee." I held that last
note for several seconds. And proudly I might add, I was only a little off key.
"Okay. Okay. I got
it." Kat placed her hand on her chest and tried to control her breathing.
"You said nipple clamps!" She burst into hysterics and knocked over
her empty beer glass.
"Time to go." I
stood and swayed. My knees buckled. The chair pad rose up and met my butt. No,
reverse that, I sat down.
