Erotic Contemporary Romance - Short Story

Present Day

Ginny Brooks had planned a romantic weekend away with the man she’s been dating for her thirtieth birthday, but when he cancels, she figures her birthday isn’t going to be much fun.  Two of her three best friends, Charlie Anderson and Alex Taylor, have planned an out-of-town weekend of their own, so celebrating with her pals seems to be out of the question.  Until Ryan Travers offers to take her to the Way Down Under Club.  The three men are all members of the sex club, yet have never invited Ginny along, no matter how much she begged.  Now she’ll get to go with the man who, for more than twenty years, has always been there for her.

Ryan’s intentions had been to bring Ginny to the sedate bar at the Way Down Under Club, and to keep her completely away from the wilder side of the club.  They may have been best friends for most of their lives, but there are some things about Ryan that Ginny is completely unaware of.  He hadn’t planned to introduce Ginny to his Dominant side, but then again Ryan hadn’t expected Ginny in a leather skirt to be a knockout, or that she would be intrigued by the things that go on in the club.

One night changes everything for long-time friends in SUGAR AND SPICE.  The four have been a solid group since elementary school, sharing a lot of firsts together, and being there for each other.  The friendship between Ryan and Ginny is especially close, but it’s not until they are at the club that either of them admits to themselves that their feelings run deeper than platonic friendship. 

The focus is mainly on Ryan and Ginny, but we get a few glimpses of Charlie and Alex, so hopefully stories featuring these two will be forthcoming.  Sexy and sweet, the title says it all, and SUGAR AND SPICE is a story you won’t want to miss.
