Romantic. Passionate. Erotic. Brimming with page-turning mystery and suspense
Love & Sexcess stories explore success in love and sex between the sexiest men and women in worlds of obscene wealth, extreme power, deadly crime, erotic romance and indomitable love.
We are looking for:
- Boundless romance, explicit sex and happily-ever-after endings. The sexual attraction and tension is caught up in the power of money, crime and love and it can be explored in every place imaginable. Or unimaginable.
- Indulgence in sexual fantasies with drop-dead gorgeous men, from powerful billionaires and business titans to gritty policemen, cowboys, motorcycle hard-asses and intellectually curious, sexy professors.
- The women are independent, strong, empowered and fearless … exquisitely sexy and alluring. They don’t need a man but they want one. Pleasure is a must-have part of their life.
- The story and sexual fantasy takes the characters – and the reader – to the heights of love and success … that’s sexcess.
- A page-turning pace, driven by tension, suspense and inimitable characters.
