He entered like he’d crossed a line he didn’t mean to. And for reasons I still can’t quite explain, I wanted him to stay.
Simon Radcliffe is a buttoned-up British professor at the local university, all nervous smiles, devastatingly proper manners, and a voice that makes you want to misbehave. He walks into Pleasure & Co. and asks me to tea like it’s the most scandalous thing he’s ever done.
I don’t go for repressed academics.
I don’t do slow. Or uncertain.
But something about him makes me want to see what happens when the rules break.
He blushes when I tease.
And I can’t stop wondering, can he overcome years of good manners to take what he so clearly wants?
What starts as flirtation becomes a fire.
The kind that simmers. Spreads. Consumes.
And just when everything threatens to combust, the past shows up—with secrets that could ruin the fragile trust we’ve built.
This was never supposed to be a romance.
But in this small town, in this stolen corner of desire, we keep circling the same truth:
How far can I push before he finally snaps?
Pleasure & Prose is a steamy, small-town opposites-attract romance featuring a buttoned-up British professor, a confident, sex-positive heroine, slow-burn tension, and a cinnamon roll hero who unravels in all the best ways.
Author’s Note:
This fast-paced, steamy romance is a perfect short read you can devour in about an hour or so—ideal for your lunch break, a cozy evening, or whenever you need a quick escape into pleasure and possibility.
Genre: Romance
