Naughty Office Romance - The No Frat Clause - Best in Contemporary Finalist 


Fresh out of college, Lexi Wideman lands an entry level job at a lucrative recruiting firm. Only six months into her tenure, she’s offered a major promotion—executive assistant to Roger Kent, the company’s coveted corporate headhunter. Older, irresistible, and ruggedly handsome, Roger Kent turns her into a liquid pool of need with just one smoldering glance. But the opportunity is just too good to pass up this early in her career. Lexi must find a way to remain professional while panting after her boss.

Roger Kent is thrown off guard when the company execs all of a sudden decide he needs an assistant. Perhaps he does, but Lexi Wideman is not the girl for him. She's smart, young, and gorgeous. It's hard enough trying to keep his eyes off her. Working in such close proximity, day after day, it would only be a matter of time before his hands followed. 

So much for the NØ Frat Policy.

Holy Hotness. This short story was erotic, sensual and I loved it!!! Who needs cops and robbers, when you have cops and dancers!!!

ATF Agent Kathrin Benson is sent undercover with her partner Mike to help take down a huge Mob Boss. All they are told is that other government agencies are involved. Some so deep they have been undercover for years.

Getting hired at a dance bar (Strip Club) owned by Mr Travino the mob boss, allows Kate opportunity to get Intel. While working she falls for the main dancer, Carly, who is also the one in charge of all the dancers and girls at the bar. Carly is the only dancer who doesn't get naked on stage , but brings in the biggest crowd.

One of the dancers is quickly replaced with Kate for a huge dance number with Carly. They have one day to practice. The chemistry is off the charts and the dance practice is so hot!

Early Download - In the Flesh - Now a standalone - previously part of the Ladies Only Antho #lesfic


In the Flesh is now available as a stand-alone story and up for early download at Pride Publishing. You can own it now exclusively from Pride, before it hits the virtual vendor shelves next month. And how 'bout that cover! Drool-worthy! A massive thank you to the multi-talented, Emmy Ellis, for this beauty. 

This story is also available as a part of the Ladies Only Anthology along with stories from Lucy Felthouse, RA Padmos, Cari Z and Helena Maeve. More cover love for, Emmy! 





Working undercover, nothing is ever as it seems…  

Assigned the unenviable task of taking down the untouchable Travino crime family, undercover ATF Agent Kate Benson and her veteran partner Mike Pennington are thrown into the seedy underworld of organized crime. 

Kate is asked to draw on her past experience as a dancer and infiltrate one of Travino’s skin clubs, In the Flesh. 

Posing as Vivienne, Kate meets exotic dancer Carly. From the moment they first dance together, she can’t seem to keep her mind or her greedy hands off the dynamic dancer. Together they sizzle on stage and off. She soon realizes she’s falling for Carly but knows from past experience that beginning a relationship built on half-truths is a recipe for failure. 

As Kate attempts to straddle the line between doing her job and being as honest as she can be with Carly, while still maintaining her cover, Kate and Mike are caught snooping around the club after hours by none other than the mob boss himself. 

And Kate knows there’s not a two-step in the world that can save them now.

Excerpt from Before She Became a Lady

After dark fell, Laurel rarely used the main stairs if she could avoid it. Even now, she could picture the culprit making his way down the front steps. She straightened her shoulders and slowly descended towards the lower regions of the house.

She entered the kitchen and found the warmth inviting. The faint odor of onions and garlic lingered in the large room, and a gooseberry pie sat in the center of the table. Holding her candle high, she debated. The pie appeared tasty, but she had a desire for pickles. She skirted around the scrubbed table to enter the still-room off the scullery. Raiding the shelves, she collected a crock of pickles and a wedge of cheese.

When she carried her treasures back into the kitchen, a puff of wind rattled against the door, not fully shut. The wind hadn’t pushed the door open, but she noticed it wasn’t on the latch either. Tentatively, she pushed the door closed and clicked the lock into place. Tomorrow she must remind Stokes of his duty to secure all the windows and doors in the establishment. After discovering an unlocked door, her appetite faded. She quickly laid the cheese aside and carried the pickles with her.

The soft ticking of the longcase clock, the darkness of the hall with the flickering of her candle to displace the gloom, and her own shadow kept her company on her way back to her chamber. The faint glow cast by the banked coals in the library grate filtered into the hall from the door left slightly ajar. A shadow crawled out of the crack between the door and the frame piercing the opposite wall before slithering back into the room. Her heart slammed into her ribs. Someone was in the library stealthily moving around. She pinched out the flame on her candle and the smell of candlewax rose up in her face. Her throat closed and she froze in place. Could she make it to the servant’s quarters to raise the alarm?

She whisked around to retrace her steps, but the library door slammed against the wall and the stomp of heavy boots sounded behind her. She broke into a run, reaching the stairs, but in her flight, she dropped the crock filled with pickles. The crockery shattered against the steps and the lid rolled into the darkness rattling to a stop on the stone floor below. The smell of pickle juice exploded in the stairwell a moment before a hard shove sent her downward. She screamed and tumbled forward, spiraling into oblivion.

One of fifteen stories, Enjoy this excerpt from My Oktoberfest Escapade by Jewel Quinlan

Lars stopped us again, this time at a hat vendor. There were all kinds of hats. Some were traditional Bavarian ones like Lars’s. They came in green, gray, and brown with all different kinds of trim and decorations on them. Other, less expensive hats were on the comical side and shaped like kegs or mugs. One had beer holders with straws so the wearer could drink as they walked.

“You can’t leave without a souvenir,” Lars said.

I looked up from the stand of felt A-shaped hats I was examining.

He shoved some money and a receipt into his pocket and then presented a hat to me that looked like a full beer mug, complete with froth, and placed it on my head. I held still as he tugged the brim into position and arranged my hair, pulling the light-brown locks forward over my shoulders. He trailed his fingertips down the length of the last cluster of strands, making the base of my scalp tingle. We stood so close I could detect the mild scent of beer on his breath.
The boots I wore had a decent heel on them, but I still had to tilt my head back to meet his gaze. 

“How does it look?”

“Perfect.”

Our eyes locked, and it was as if time sucked us backward to that day so long ago when we’d said goodbye. It overpowered the world around us, forcing it into the background. All that existed was the two of us. As the longing in his gaze registered, my breath caught. Does he feel the same way I do? I got my answer when his lips pressed down on mine, and he wrapped his arms around me, pulling me tight.
