Club Incognito - Present Day 

 

Someone set fire to Incognito. Accident or arson? That’s what Katriona, the owner, would like to know. When firefighters and fellow members of Incognito, Blake Thomas and Joseph Osceola find an unconscious woman inside they carry her to safety and learn that she’s been causing trouble at the club. Nothing major, just voicing her opinion about cheating. Neither one believes that she’s involved and after they get cleaned up, they decide to go and check on the little lady. What they discover is a woman recently widowed and a natural submissive. How intriguing since both Joseph and Blake are Doms. They are both attracted to Penelope but want to make sure she understands what a relationship with them would entail. However, are they ready for what they discover about their sweet Penelope? 

 

Penelope Schwartz nearly dies in a fire set at Incognito, the D/s club her now deceased husband frequented and in fact died in. She is there taking pictures just to warn other wives of what’s going on, when she sees smoke. With no concern for her own safety, Penelope charges in yelling fire, trying to save as many lives as she can, only to succumb to smoke inhalation, nearly expiring in the process. When she opens her eyes, she looks into the face of Joseph Osceola. He’s handsome, Indian, and makes her body heat. Of course, later on she meets his partner, Blake Thomas, who arouses her with equal measure. Penelope is shaken by her desire for both men, but she’s even more so when they explain that they are Doms, that they share a woman, and they want her to be that woman. Is she ready for that? 

 

In PURSUING PENELOPE, our heroine isn’t a member of the club, therefore, she doesn’t have a clue to the goings on inside. She’s got assumptions, accusations, but when all is said and done…she knows nothing. Thank goodness Joseph and Blake are ready, willing, and able to teach her all she needs to know and more. Joseph has lived with being different all his life, has a tender heart when it comes to the fairer sex, and enjoys sharing a woman with his best friend, Blake. Blake is the wingman so to speak. He keeps his heart locked away and doesn’t usually fall hard like Joseph. Unfortunately neither of these bad boys stands a chance when they meet Penelope. She’s everything a Dom could hope for and more. Plus she’s hot for both of them. <g> These three have a hard road ahead of them, especially when Penelope’s past comes back to haunt her. It’s a real interesting story but I’m not gonna tell it, because I think it would give away a part of the story. Sex between them is hot, sweaty, arousing, fun, and absolutely naughty. Oh to be the woman between these two hunks. *sigh*

 

Secondary characters include those from previous Incognito books, but the story mainly revolves around Blake, Joseph, Penelope and their developing relationship. 

If you like a ménage a trois, with two gorgeous hunks, and a woman who has both their hearts in her hands, then PURSUING PENELOPE is the story for you.
