Synopsis
Part 1
Dana’s
always had a clear vision of what she wanted out of life. But when her father
dies during her final year of college, Dana’s whole world threatens to topple
down. In desperate need of money, she comes up with an idea. It’s scandalous.
It’s HOT. And it’s got everybody talking. . .Is Dana really going to auction
off her own virginity? And at what cost?
Part 2
Meet
Mason. He is used to getting what he wants. The head of his own corporate
empire, he has wealth, means, and no shortage of beautiful women ready to
fulfill his every need. But despite having it all, Mason is bored. Until he
comes face-to-face with a woman from his past–one who will do anything to get
what she wants. But is her desire for Mason worth the risk?
Part 3
Unable
to let Dana slip away again, Mason bids on the one thing he’s always
wanted–even if it is completely forbidden. He’s fantasized about having Dana to
himself for years, touching her smooth skin, tasting her sweet lips. But Dana
is off-limits…or is she? All it takes is just one kiss to find out…
Excerpt
The
second Mason laid eyes on her, his breath caught. Dana had been stunning even
at sixteen, but now . . . Good God, she just oozed alluring-yet-innocent
sexuality.
“Ex-stepbrother.
Which doesn’t really count.”
He had lived
in the same house with her when his father had been married to her mother, but
only briefly, so it didn’t really count as a familial relationship, but that
didn’t change the fact that he had no intention of taking her to bed.
His
intent was to shake her up, and ensure that she didn’t try a stunt like this
again. Because whether they were actually related or not, he had an intensely
strong protective instinct where she was concerned. He always had.
He
stepped toward her and she stepped back, then started to walk away. He grasped
her arm and pulled her toward him, determined to push her to the limit.
“We
haven’t seen each other in a long time. Don’t I deserve a kiss?”
Mason
pulled Dana against him and into his arms. He had intended it to be just a quick
brush of lips, wanting to shake her a little, but the feel of her softness
against him threw him off-balance.
She
sucked in a soft breath just before his lips captured hers, then the sweetness
of her mouth became a temptation he couldn’t resist.
His tongue
swept between her lips and she whimpered softly. A vibrating need pulsed
through him, his groin tightening with a desire he would not allow.
He drew
back, blanking his expression as he stared down at her wide eyes.
As soon
as he released her, she skittered across the carpet to the couch, putting it
between the two of them.
“You
can’t really mean it. You don’t really intend to . . . ” She frowned, her
cheeks a vivid red.
He
walked to the big armchair and sat down, then gestured for her to sit on the
couch facing him. Warily, she walked around the couch and sat down.
“So tell
me, Dana. Why are you selling your body?”
“I’m not
selling my body. I’m . . . ” Dana wrapped her arms around herself, hugging
tightly.
Mason
raised an eyebrow. “Really? What do you call it?”
“Okay,
yeah. That’s exactly what I’m doing. But just this one time.”
“This
first time.”
“Look,
it’s not a big deal. It’s just a business arrangement,” Dana said. “People have
sex all the time.” She shrugged. “It’s like a blind date, that’s all. With
someone who’s been recommended by a friend.”
Mason
raised an eyebrow. “Really?”
“Well,
yeah, in that I know the guy will be safe. The service is really careful.”
He
thought she was being more than a little naΓ―ve.
“You
still haven’t told me why you’re doing it.”
“I need
the money for school. It’s enough to pay for my tuition until I graduate. It’s
really important to me and this is the only way I can afford it.”

AUTHOR BIO
Hi. I'm
Opal Carew, a New York Times and USA Today bestselling
author. I write erotic romance for St. Martin's Press and Samhain
Publishing, and I self-publish stories. I also write romance as Amber
Carew.
So why
do I like writing erotic romance? I like being able to push
beyond traditional boundaries. I like dealing with a female character who
is growing and evolving - questioning her sexual boundaries and
pushing past them. My stories usually include menage a trois. It is
great fun to write a heroine choosing between two equally appealing
heroes... or more.
These
aren't women who just jump into bed with anyone. They find themselves in
an unusual situation - something exciting and erotic - but
a situation where they have to push themselves beyond their
comfort level. As a result, they grow as a person. So often fear holds us
back - of what others will think of us, of what we will think about
ourselves - and we don't follow our hearts. These women push past that
fear.
