Erotic Contemporary Romance
When
Beth Cordova escaped a difficult situation and joined the Penitents
at age seventeen, she thought she’d finally found peace, or at least
safety as everyone from her old life believed her to be dead.
Working the land in this Amish-like existence is hard, but soothing
at the same time. Unfortunately, Beth has been feeling restless of
late and it’s not until she sees a new joiner to the group that she
understands why.
Stephen
Trent is on assignment from his newspaper to expose the underbelly,
if one exists, of this commune that many believe to be a weird
cult. Personally, he just thinks his editor is trying to punish him
for exceeding his spending limit writing his last article. Then he
sees the beauty across the dining hall and is immediately smitten.
There is something familiar about her, but that’s not what is
sending the tingles through his system. But, how is he going to
talk with her in a society that doesn’t allow men and women to
interact?
It’s
not too long before Beth and Stephen find their way to each other
and to answering the attraction sizzling between them. The only
problem is that the Penitents take a hard stance against those who
break the rules, especially when a few of the Founders crave the
virginal Beth themselves.
Suppressed sexuality and love are at the core of Cathy Yardley’s
CRAVE. Beth Cordova thought she could live simply with the
Penitents for the rest of her life. But the needs and desires of a
young girl are vastly different from those of a woman, and when
those desires make themselves known, ignoring them is not an
option. So, suddenly temptation has entered Beth’s life in the form
of a new male Penitent. Is she willing to give up everything for
one bite of the apple?
A
sizzling modern twist on the story of Snow White, complete with a
wicked Queen, CRAVE requires a glass of ice as Beth learns what
she’s been missing. An erotic romance with a few suspenseful twists
and turns to keep things interesting, CRAVE is an entertaining
diversion.
