WEEKEND SPOTLIGHT!.... A Man After Midnight

 


 A broken marriage has left Caroline Grace emotionally numb.

When her best friend extends an invitation to spend a weekend enjoying New York City, it seems like the perfect mini-vacation. Little does Caroline know she's about to have a sexual reawakening in a dank and dangerous alley.

A one night stand with her hero Wren Calder turns into a weekend of wild, sexual adventures and marks a pivotal moment in Caroline's life…unlocking her frozen emotions.

After midnight a man will reveal his true nature. And, in experiencing such an encounter, Caroline finds a way to free herself from the chains of her past.

Be Warned: anal sex, bondage, public exhibition


     Wren cupped her face, his breath fanning over her lips. Her eyes fluttered closed just as his mouth touched hers, with only the barest hint of pressure.  It was the most erotic chaste kiss she’d ever experienced.  A simple meshing of lips that held nothing more than a warm bond, and just when the longing for more became too much, he swept his tongue over the closed seam of her mouth. She let out a gasp, giving him the perfect opportunity to deepen the kiss.  When their tongues twined together, she tasted a hint of gin lingering from the martini.  Caroline wrapped her arms around his neck in an effort to get closer. 

     Wren ran his hands down her arms, over her hips, and finally to her rear.  He gripped each ass cheek firmly as he pulled her into the crook of his thighs to rub her up and down his hard cock.  Need rolled through her at his domination.  God, how could she crave him so much, this stranger who had miraculously appeared when she needed him most?  Never had she felt such instant lust for someone, not even her husband, and the raw compulsion for sex was something new and foreign. 

      He broke the kiss and eased back.  They stared into one another’s eyes, even though the only light came from the exit sign over their heads. 

      “I’ve been wanting to kiss you since I saw you in that bar,” he said.

      “Why didn’t you approach me?” Caroline responded.

      “I detest bars and more specifically, all the cheesy pick-up lines I hear floating around.  But with you I was willing to make an exception … and then Gil appeared.  I wanted to see if you were the type of woman who’d want him.”

      “Hell no,” she said emphatically.  “You wanted to know why you and not him?  His actions were cold and calculating, even from the beginning.  Staking out women in a bar, picking his potential bed partner … I wasn’t going to be the next notch on his bedpost.”

      The fingers gripping her ass cheeks tightened just a little.  “And my bedpost, Caroline?”

      She took a deep breath.  Now was the moment to back away if she wanted.  To thank Wren for the drink and dancing, and saving her from being assaulted. She could leave with all her sanity intact, retreat back behind the walls she’d built up, and enjoy the memory of being just a bit daring.

      Or she could live a little.  Be more daring.

      Wasn’t that why she’d come to New York City after all?

My first blog!

I had surgery about two weeks ago and have had to recuperate at my mother's. Unfortunately, she doesn't have internet so for the first week I went sir crazy. Luckily, I felt well enough after that week to go out, and found a nice bookstore near by where I could set up my laptop, hike my feet up while drinking a green tea frappe, and work on the things I had been putting off. Like this blog. It's nothing fancy but for now it'll work. Of course, I'll have to have my boyfriend, Brian, link this to my website: www.bethdcarter.com

Another thing I had to do was finish the edits on my upcoming novella release for Loose Id, titled "A Man After Midnight". I guess the good thing about this blog is that I can put in some of my work secrets for each story here. Maybe I'll even put a contest attached to it where someone can win a free copy when the novella is released!

So, secret #1: "A Man After Midnight" came from a song. More specifically, it came from Abba's "Gimme Gimme Gimme!".

Secret #2: The heroine, Caroline Grace, has a lot of the emotional issues I had when my marriage collapsed. In fact, many of the break up scenes are actually ones from my own!

And finally, Secret #3: The setting is in New York City, Times Square, and the original draft had a bomb scare in the hotel. That bomb scare came about because I was in the hotel where the Time Square Bomber had put his SUV. In fact, I walked right next to that SUV wondering why all the fireman were swarming around!

This if fun. I like blogging some of secrets to my books! In fact, I may do this with each one released! Thanks for reading and come back soon.
