Present Day 

Dear Friend,

I am offering you the chance of a lifetime. You can live out your ultimate fantasy within one week of receiving this gift, provided you pass it on. All that is required from you is this: You must use the scarf during a sexual encounter in the next seven days.

Mail the scarf and this letter to a female acquaintance within one week of receiving this package. Do not tell or discuss it with the woman. Those who follow these instructions will continue a fulfilling sensual odyssey. Those who don‘t will never find satisfaction for as long as they live.

Kali

What would you do if you received a letter like that with a purple silk scarf that conjured up all sorts of fantasy scenarios? You're about to meet four women who will open up this package and decide what they are going to do about it.

Amber Reed's life revolves mainly around her job. She's always been in control except where her lover, Lucas Carter, is concerned. The man has no qualms about waltzing into her office and making love to her. Amber fears being caught, but it doesn't seem to bother Lucas. She needs her control back and Lucas is just going to have to deal with it. Then Amber receives a purple silk scarf in the mail with a chain letter. Lucas is intrigued and wants to tie her up; however, Amber isn't the least bit interested and tosses the scarf in the garbage can. Then one night, the idea of tying Lucas up comes to her mind. She goes to retrieve the scarf only to find it in Lucas's possession. Lucas isn't content with being shoved to the outer edges of Amber's life. Granted they are living together, but in her apartment amidst her things. Little by little Lucas is making a mark in her life, and when the scarf comes along, Lucas's mind conjures up all sorts of fantasies they could play out before the seven days are up. Will Amber let him have his way? Will his dominant side push her out of his life forever?

Sienna Bailey works for Amber Reed and everyone believes she's a nice girl. They try to fix her up with nice men, but what no one knows - except her lover - is that Sienna has a naughty side. She enjoys being tied up, the rush of adrenaline when you realize your very life is in someone else's hands. Sienna meets her lover, Adam Taylor, in secret once a week. Each visit is a fantasy laid out by Adam with Sienna being his willing slave. When she receives the scarf, she is horrified. Someone knows! Her secret has been uncovered and it's just a matter of time before it's out in the open. It's time to break it off with Adam. However, Adam doesn't understand Sienna's fear. There's no way no one knows what they do behind closed doors in his apartment. Hell...they've been careful. He has no intention of letting her slip out of his life before they use the scarf and hopefully giving him a chance to keep her with him always. Will Sienna give them a chance or run and hide?

Hairdresser Tiffany Martin keeps herself in shape and looking good for her lover, James. It's a lot of work and she enlists the help of toys, scenarios, and whatever it takes to keep him happy. When the scarf arrives Tiffany curses up a blue streak. She can't believe it. This gal Kali has sent her the blasted scarf again. Why is this happening to her? How the hell is she supposed to come up with something new in seven days? Her lover, James, makes a suggestion...tie him up. Nuh uh...now way! Tiffany isn't about to do that. She's always in control of their love making and now is not the time to experiment. James gets his way and Tiffany learns something about herself, James, and their sex lives. Is she ready to face the truth the scarf reveals? Will she lose James if she doesn't tie him up as he requested?

Last to receive the scarf is Grace Russell. Grace is a peeping tom of sorts, not in a bad way, because she gets an eyeful of some very erotic things in her accidental sightings. Since she hasn't had sex in a really, really long time, she's got to get her jollies somewhere. When the scarf arrives on her doorstep, all Grace can think about is her sexy neighbor Matthew Collins and all the things they could do together. He's a personal trainer, in excellent shape, and has a body that she wants to jump. But Matthew will never see Grace in that way. Why would he? She isn't exactly the beauty queen type. Grace decides to play with the scarf not knowing that she's being watched by Matthew. It was an accident that he saw her, but once he did all he wanted was Grace. Actually he's wanted Grace for a long time, but she only sees him as a friend. Now it's time to change that and after what he witnessed - her bringing herself to a rousing climax while shouting his name - there's no stopping him. Will Grace open the door and allow Matthew to show her fireworks and more than friendship?

CHAIN REACTION tells the tales of four women who receive a gift in the mail and what they do with that gift will bring them something precious...if they abide by the rules. Each woman is searching for something, whether it be love, control, or a deeper hidden meaning. Amber, Sienna, Tiffany, and Grace are all well-rounded women in control of their lives...or so they think. It takes a strong, yet sometimes gentle man to handle these women and our heroes definitely fit the bill. The emotions run high, the sex is steamy and erotic, and the characters are well-developed.

Author Jenesi Ash weaves a wildly erotic fantasy that readers are sure to enjoy. Pick up your copy of CHAIN REACTION today.
