Take a peek at her newest release, contemporary M/F erotic romance THROUGH HIS LENS.
Newly
divorced and rediscovering her place in the world, Fiona found a strange solace
in taking photos of herself. Next step: she hired a professional photographer
to take her portraits. Modelling for him felt empowering. Would this be only a
one-time thing or would she have the courage to pursue a relationship with
Nathan, the photographer whose green eyes captivate and disarm her?

Excerpt:
I wake up feeling refreshed.
Orange light streaming in through
the curtains shows that evening is soon approaching. I walk to the bathroom for
a shower.
After stripping myself bare, I
scrutinize myself in the full-length mirror.
Quite simply put, I still have a
hot body. My curves are smooth and pleasing to the eye. Perhaps I am a bit pale
from working indoors all the time, but that can easily change. Besides, there
is a frailty to the paleness of my skin that I like. A hint of sadness lingers
on my face, but generally, my features are attractive. Yes, I decide: I can be
considered beautiful.
I take my cell phone and mindlessly
begin taking photographs of myself: close-ups of my breasts, full-body shots,
slanted angles of my bottom arching up, several near-identical snaps of the
small of my back, my legs as I stand tip-toed, the bend of my arms, and a few
of my neck as I elongate it.
The thrill of seeing my naked body
stacking up in my phone’s photo album is delightful. I am like a teenager first
experimenting with her exhibitionist tendency.
That is when I remember Nathan, my
wedding photographer who I have heard also does portraits occasionally. He had
sent me emails about one or two of his exhibitions before. I skip over to turn
on my laptop, butt-naked, and type his name on the Internet to find his
website, with a large gallery of his recent works.
I like what I see. His photographs
are professional and far more atmospheric than the clear, almost childish ones
that I have just taken.
Several of his albums are boudoir
photos: some are nude photos of women reclining in various poses on a bed,
others are of women dressed up in lingerie and corsets that must have taken
hours to bind oneself into. But whatever the respective styles are, I admire
all of Nathan’s work.
Too bad he does not have any
exhibitions going on at the moment, or I would love to go see his work
displayed in real life, while he stands nearby, looking handsome and confident,
thanking people for their compliments.
Did I just describe him as handsome
and confident?
I grin.
First day of my divorce, and I am
already developing a crush on another man. Maybe I am not as innocent as I have
imagined, after all.
I stare at his phone number on the
browser for ten seconds.
I shake my head.
My eyes continue to gawk at the
same spot.
Reluctantly, my feet carry me to
the kitchen, boiling water and making myself a large mug of decaf tea, still
butt-naked.
Armed with my comfort drink, I
return to my computer screen, my full attention fixed on Nathan’s number.
By the time the tea is finished,
his number is imprinted in my memory.
I close the browser window.
My butt refuses to move.
I laugh at my juvenile behavior. I
type the number onto my phone and call Nathan.
“Hello, Nathan Gould’s studio.”
“Hi, my name is Fiona. You were my
wedding photographer a few years back.” Shit. My hands are sweating. “Em… I was
browsing through your website and I got interested in your portraits.”
“Nice hearing from you, Fiona. Do
you want to do a family portrait?”
“Oh, no, no,” I fidget. “I, err… I
just got divorced.”
“I’m sorry to hear that.”
“No, no, it’s a good thing
actually.” Damn. Did I have to say that? I clear my throat. “Anyway, I was
wondering about, em… the boudoir photos.”
“Sure, let me send you information
on a few of our standard packages. You can go with those, or we can arrange
something based on that.”
There, the sound of common sense
and business; his sober tone puts me back on my tracks.
I give him my email address and
hang up. Time to really get my shower.
