Synopsis
Now get all three stories in the Paris
Secrets trilogy in one volume! Included are WINDOW, SCREEN, and the exciting
conclusion SKIN.
WINDOW: The first time she sees her new
neighbor, his sexy smile arouses her curiosity—and her desires. His hard,
chiseled muscles and playful invitations are irresistible. Bared before their
windows, framed and displayed above the streets of Paris, they embark upon a
provocative affair.
Their daring game of exhibitionism lures
her back for more and more, and she quickly realizes he is the man she has
dreamed about.
Yet she's never heard his voice. Never
felt his touch. Never thought she'd experience something this exquisite.
Or this bold...
SCREEN: She fell willingly, seduced by
the erotic foreignness of all that he was. Words can be more powerful than
touch. Stimulate and engage the senses, then watch what happens...
They began a daring affair a few weeks
ago, baring skin, sensual secrets—their very souls—before their bedroom
windows, situated across the street from one another. Now they've taken it to
the next level. The laptop screen has added sound to their intimate liaisons,
and his voice, that delicious French accent, is oh, so sexy. His laughter
teases good shivers across her skin, and his sensual commands seduce her deeper
into a world of erotic play. Fantasies lure them into a new intimacy and a
surprising trust that the two strangers who have never touched welcome.
Yet frustrations grow as she pines for
his touch. They must meet. Soon. But a secret is revealed that will challenge
their desires and the trust both have earned.
SKIN: Are you ready for two bodies to
collide in an irresistible crush of desire? They’ve experimented with sight,
voice, and trust in their inventive sexual romps that began as a flirtatious
affair before a window and advanced to provocative cyber sex. He fell in love
with her. She is still waiting for his touch.
Exquisite. Bold. Gorgeous. Those are the
words that lured her into the Frenchman's heart. She is the American woman who
has learned to set her inner vixen free, and he is the handsome and
light-hearted Monsieur Sexy.
Finally the lovers abandon their
apprehensions and come together. All senses are engaged, including the
delicious glide of his masterful hands over her skin. A dashing musketeer,
black velvet Louboutins, and Da Vinci's mysterious Mona Lisa all become a part
of their liaisons. It is easy to fall into a trusting relationship that feels
as if it were meant to be.
But there are yet challenges that will
try their connection and which will force them to decide, once and for all, if
they were meant for one another...
...or if secrets will break them apart.

Excerpt
I
pulled aside the sheer and attempted to engage x-ray vision to see through his
curtains. The way the night muted the
window I couldn't see well, though if the curtain were open his light would
reveal the interior of his bedroom as if it were a diorama lit up at a museum.
When
the curtains suddenly parted, I panicked and almost slammed the sheers shut,
yet made the save by raising my glass in a silent toast.
"Just
your friendly peeping Jane," I muttered. "Can't sleep?" I
wondered.
The
man held up a glass of milk and rubbed his eyes in the universal signal of
sleeplessness.
I
lifted my glass in another toast, and he matched it. We drank our respective libations. If a girl could get drunk off water, it was
going to happen when the view was so tantalizing.
He
leaned a shoulder against the window, brazenly unselfconscious of the fact that
he stood in only his boxer briefs—that emphasized his package nicely. Or maybe he was aware and wanted me to take a
good long look.
I
did. And I wished it was my
birthday. Or Christmas. This Catholic
chick would even settle for Hanukah at this point. Right now any reason to open a package was
good by me. As I assessed the abundant
gift displayed behind glass and cotton, it hardened noticeably, forming a nice
firm bulge that angled toward his hip.
It must serve a good handful for him.
I
sucked in my lower lip.
Call
it lack of sleep. Call it needing to get
laid more often than the once every month or so rotation I'd been on
lately. Call it…fascinated by his soft,
sexy smile that twinkled in his eyes, and that extremely enticing, hard, huge
package.
He
winked at me.
My
heartbeats stopped for a full ten seconds.
Count out ten seconds. That is
one hell of a long time. His sexy wink
stole away my breath and threatened to keep it from me. His regard glided over my heart, stunning it
still with a powerful beguilement spell.
Smirking,
I resumed breathing. Arousal tended to
make me breathe faster. My heartbeats
kicked back into gear, though a little faster and lighter now, like butterflies
beating the airstream that encircled the universe.
Touching
the empty water glass to my lips, I dipped a lash flutter at him. I wasn't an
expert in flirtation, but I'd read books, and had actually researched different
forms of kissing for a romance novelist.
I pointed at him, and gave him the thumbs up sign.
He
lowered his head in an embarrassed shrug.
A few dark curls spilled over his ear, and he brushed them back. Could the man be any cuter?
Setting
his glass of milk on a marble-topped dresser across from the end of his bed, he
then put his forearm to the window and propped his palm against a temple. His gaze sought mine and I let him have the
connection. Or was it my soul he'd
connected to? Could souls flutter?
No,
wait. I was getting ahead of
myself. It was just a look shared
between two people who stood, scantily clad, in their respective windows. No soul mating going on here, folks. Move along.
No pictures allowed behind this line.
What
he did next was to be my undoing. I just
wouldn't know it for months to come. He
pointed to me, holding the gesture for a few seconds…then, he made a motion of
slipping the robe from my shoulder.
Eyebrow
lifting, I defied him with a tilt of my head.
My slightly-longer-than-shoulder-length hair spilled off one
shoulder. Cheeky of him. Very forward.
I wasn't that kind of girl.
But
right now I needed to be that kind of girl more than I needed to breathe.
He
shrugged and splayed his palms in a 'what can I say?' gesture.
And
for some reason, maybe lack of sleep, or glue-induced insanity, I tapped into
the vixen I knew existed somewhere inside me.
That part of me who pranced before the mirror on tiptoes when I tried on
a new dress or a sexy pair of panties.
The seductress who pursed her lips at the reflection in the mirror, yet
who shuddered at the idea of actually doing such a thing before a real, live,
breathing male.
Oh,
tiny vixen. It's your time to
shine. Or at least turn up the dimmer
switch to the next level of brightness.
I
slipped the yellow silk robe from my shoulder.
Taking particular notice of the slide of fabric over my skin, I focused
on that instead of the man watching me.
Swift, light, as if a brush of a lover's hand, it sent a shiver down my
arm and perked the hairs over goose flesh.
The silk draped above my breast, the little embroidered bee crushed
within the folds.
As
I shifted my shoulders back, allowing the other sleeve to drop down, the robe
spilled even further, both sleeves landing at the crooks of my elbows. My
nipples tightened, much less from the fabric, and more from anticipation. Or was it fear? The tremble in my chest gave me away. But I was determined, so I continued.
I
didn't feel compelled to cup my hands before my breasts, so the lightweight
fabric splayed open, shifting across my skin in delicious tingles, and
inspiring a heavy inhale of courage on my part.
The
man's smile deepened, and he nodded at the sight of my exposed breasts. His thumbs up sign didn't seem lecherous so
much as a quiet thank you. Because there
I stood, in the middle of the night, exposing myself to a complete stranger who
I hardly knew. Hell, I didn't know him
at all.
Wait. The other night's window wave and book
sharing counted as a first meeting, right?
Sure, we were old friends.
Struggling
with the weirdness of my newly-emerged exhibitionism and the need to wrap the
silk back across my breasts and flee for safety under the comforter, I exhaled
slowly and breathed in through my nose.
Aware that the action lifted my breasts, I noticed that he was even more
acutely tuned in.
Too
much. Too fast. What the hell are you doing?
Right. Enough with playing the wanton for the
night. I pulled up the robe, kissed the
palm of my hand and blew him a kiss. Then I shuffled into bed and switched off
the lamp.
Snuggling
into the sheets, my head crushing into the pillow, I closed my eyes. A smile curled my mouth. I'd never done anything so brazen
before. Ever. It was completely out of character.
My
introvert's crown had just tilted. And
the vixen within giggled.
I
wondered if he was still standing there, waiting for my return? Dare I look?
I
pulled up the comforter to my nose.
"Tomorrow
night," I whispered. "It’ll be
his turn to reveal something to me."
