If she thought that her declaration was going to turn him off, she couldn’t be further from wrong. If anything, her honesty, her openness just made her more intriguing. She had wounds and scars just like him. She was human.
Heat flared in her eyes and she shifted closer to him and brought her voice down. “I have a room at the hotel next door,” she said, the first sign of real, genuine nervousness entering her eyes. Her voice quavered slightly and her throat bobbed in trepidation. “Would you … like to join me there?”

Acknowledgments
There are so many people to thank who help along the way. Publishing a book is definitely not a solo mission, that’s for sure. First and foremost, my friend and editor Chris Kridler, you are a blessing, a gem and an all-around terrific person. Thank you for your honesty and hard work.
Thank you, to my critique groups gals, Danielle and Jillian. I love our meetups where we give honest feedback and just bitch about life. You two are my bitch-sisters and I wouldn’t give you up for anything.
Andi Babcock for her beta-read, I always appreciate your attention to detail and comments.
Author Jeanne St. James, my alpha reader and sister from another mister, what would I do without you?
Megan J. Parker-Squiers from EmCat Designs, your covers are awesome. Thank you.
Ana Rita Clemente, one of the first “fans” I’ve ever met, and now an amazing friend. Thank you for loving my books and proofreading this one. You are a wonderful human.

About the Author
A Canadian West Coast baby born and raised, Whitley is married to her high school sweetheart, and together they have two beautiful daughters and a fluffy dog. She spends her days making food that gets thrown on the floor, vacuuming Cheerios out from under the couch and making sure that the dog food doesn't end up in the air conditioner. But when nap time comes, and it's not quite wine o'clock, Whitley sits down, avoids the pile of laundry on the couch, and writes.
A lover of all things decadent; wine, cheese, chocolate and spicy erotic romance, Whitley brings the humorous side of sex, the ridiculous side of relationships and the suspense of everyday life into her stories. With mommy wars, body issues, threesomes, bondage and role playing, these books have everything we need to satisfy the curious kink in all of us.
