Their first in-person meeting at the Caldwell Museum turns into something intense and transformative, forcing Emery to question whether she can walk away from such satisfying desire without developing complications.

Her career is everything, so the rest of her life is put on hold until she reaches her professional goals. Sex is always on the table, though. Finding the perfect woman who only wants a quick hookup seems like a fantasy, but when she meets Lily online, the fantasy turns to reality when they agree to meet. Their tête-à-tête at the museum is more than Emery could imagine—satisfying, exciting, and passionate. Can Emery walk away from sex this good with no strings attached? Or will the lure of lust keep her going back for more?  \n[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \nShameless  \nBrought to you by  \neBooks from Bold Strokes Books, Inc.  \n[http://www.boldstrokesbooks.com](http://www.boldstrokesbooks.com)  \neBooks are not transferable.

These characters are not like any I’ve written before so the challenge was to get into their heads and create something fresh and exciting. I have to thank Bold Strokes Books for humoring me and accepting my story. A shout out to Ashley for keeping it real, and my undying gratitude to the people I interviewed to get this novella done. Research is sometimes the best part of writing and, damn, this sure was fun!  \n[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \nCHAPTER ONE  \nI told her I don’t smoke. The tip of my cigarette glows as I inhale. I watch the wispy smoke, a snarling dragon, float up and disappear into the night. I indulge from time to time when I’m nervous or stressed. Tonight I’m both. This one cigarette is warranted—I justify—even though I already know I will smoke another. I tell people I don’t smoke because of my job and I know the dangers of fire. The truth is that I don’t smoke every day because I don’t like wrinkles. I’m thirty-five years old and I look like I’m in my twenties. I’d like to look ten years younger than I am for the rest of my life.  \nTomorrow afternoon, I’m meeting her for the first time. Not the best decision I’ve ever made, but her schedule is demanding, as is mine, and tomorrow is the only day in the near future that either of us can get away. I have a meeting first thing in the morning with my boss to review the case I’m testifying for this week, as well as discuss my findings about the city’s latest warehouse fire. After lunch, I have a walk-through in a building with new inspectors. I somehow think I can get everything done in time to meet her at the Caldwell Museum by f","cbCaicq1tqMGP20o","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaicq1tqMGP20o","pdf",450398,2,51,"English","en",105,"# Synopsis\n# By the Author\n# Acknowledgments\n# Chapter One\n# Chapter Two\n# Chapter Three\n# Chapter Four\n# Chapter Five\n# About the Author","[{\"question\":\"Who is the main character and what is her job?\",\"answer\":\"Emery Pearson is a fire investigator.
