It’s
New York! Broadway beckons, but Meg ignites a sizzling erotic triangle with her
current flame and her drama coach.
BLURB:
Zachary Cullen has ignored Josette Patrice’s
overtures for years, but she agrees to take on his latest
protégé-slash-arm-candy Meghan Keenan in her off-Broadway workshop theater.
Though the girl has incredible talent, Josie would stake her reputation on that
little thing being a switch-hitter, like herself, and she doesn’t want Zach to
be duped. Josie sets out to seduce Meg and expose her for what she is, but all
bets are off when Meg turns the tables on Josie to hook her up with Zach.

BACK STORY:
For those who don’t know, Adriana Kraft is the pen
name under which my husband and I write erotic romance, among other things.
Baby boomers ourselves, we often feature characters in their 40s, 50s, and even
60s and beyond. If that’s not what trips your trigger, this book isn’t for you
– but, with any luck, all of us will reach these ages eventually, and we hope
our readers do so with vim, vigor, and yes, a vibrant and active sex life. We
like to think some of our characters can light the way.
Zachary Cullen is just such a character. Here are
some snippets about him from our heroine’s point of view:
Not for the first time, Josie wondered why the
highly successful fifty-something entrepreneur invested so much time and money
trying to find the next Broadway star…
Lost in her own thoughts, Josie startled at the
gravelly sound of Zach’s deep voice. It was that slow, strong drawl that had
appealed to her since the first time they’d met. That, and his burning eyes
that seemed capable of peering into her soul…
She had to admit his broad shoulders and tapered
hips triggered her own lusty imagination. Damn. She hated the fact that she had
difficulty ignoring his manliness, and he never even looked at her as a woman.
Apparently, he only saw her as a conduit for helping his protégés advance their
careers.
Josie, who’s in her 40’s, was
recently interviewed by author Valerie Ullmer. Here’s how she describes her
ideal mate:
“Passionate,
generous, warm, caring, sensitive, open and honest – notice I haven’t mentioned
gender so far? I could commit to either a man or a woman (or both), if the
chemistry’s right. What they look like doesn’t matter so much as that they take
care of their bodies and focus on staying healthy as much as I do.”

EXCERPT:
“Your latest protégé does show promise, Zach.”
Josette Patrice focused on the group of actors rehearsing onstage and avoided
looking at Zachary Cullen as they stood shoulder to shoulder in the back of the
small, semi-darkened playhouse.
“Hmm.”
Josie smiled. Was he pondering
Meghan Keenan’s thespian talents, or her bedroom talents? Josie was certain the
petite twenty-one-year-old would excel in both venues.
Not for the first time, Josie
wondered why the highly successful fifty-something entrepreneur invested so
much time and money trying to find the next Broadway star. Was it his ego, his
desire to take young struggling actresses and help them make their way to New
York City—specifically, to her? Or was
it the side benefit of sex with gorgeous young women that kept Zach on the
lookout for talent as he traveled from one business interest to the next?
Meghan was the third young woman he’d brought her over the past ten years.
“She seems more wooden, less
natural than when I first saw her in that little community playhouse back in
Wisconsin,” Zach said, breaking the silence.
Lost in her own thoughts, Josie
startled at the gravelly sound of Zach’s deep voice. It was that slow, strong
drawl that had appealed to her since the first time they’d met. That, and his
burning eyes that seemed capable of peering into her soul.
Josie wet her lips watching the
stage lights bounce off the girl’s auburn hair, as if setting her afire. Had
Meg been caught up in Zach’s vision for her, or in his nearly overwhelming air
of masculinity? She had to admit his broad shoulders and tapered hips triggered
her own lusty imagination. Damn. She
hated the fact that she had difficulty ignoring his manliness, and he never
even looked at her as a woman. Apparently, he only saw her as a conduit for
helping his protégés advance their careers.
Josie squared her shoulders. At
forty-three, she was hardly over the hill. She’d had her share of lovers. Given
Zach’s lack of interest, she’d flaunted her female lovers before him. She felt her
nipples pebble—maybe that had been a mistake. Zachary Cullen was not a man to
be toyed with.
