Twenty-nine-year-old Stevie Sinclair has just lost everything: her boyfriend, her apartment, even her ugly bird named Free. (Yeah, she knows it’s stupid name, so don’t start.) But most importantly, Stevie’s lost herself.
As she shuffles through her days in worn-out Hello Kitty PJs—eating ice cream, sipping wine, and contemplating her next move—a magazine article catches her attention. Blaring black letters read: "How to Get Your Sexy Back in Six Easy Steps."
Stevie studies the article in the trashy magazine like the good student she is and immediately knows what she has to do. With the magazine article in hand, and a bottle of red in her bag, Stevie embarks on a journey to reclaim her life and win back her ex.
Until she meets Gabe Shannon. Gorgeous, single, and on a quest of his own, Gabe introduces Stevie to a lifestyle that is sure to help get her sexy back and then some. If she doesn’t chicken out … (Oh, you know where this is going.)
What follows is a story of self-discovery, romantic gestures, erotic encounters, and following one's heart--even if it leads in unexpected directions.
Portions originally published online as The Club e-series, Dirty Little Lies now has 70% more content, chapters from Gabe's point of view, and a sizzling conclusion to this steamy tale.
I have no trouble spotting him—he looks like a
picture. Business casual in grey pants and a pale blue button-down, sprawled
across a plaid blanket with a picnic basket at his feet. His eyes are closed
and his arms are folded behind his head.
I want to make a meal out of him.
Slowly, I move toward him, not wanting to disturb
this image. I just want to savor him for a few more minutes.
A warm smile
stretches across his face. Busted.
“You like what you see?” he asks, eyes still closed.
I play it
cool and take a seat next to him on the blanket, fighting the incredible urge
to mount him.
“The picnic?” I ask, refusing to feed his ego. “Yes,
it looks fab.”
He opens his eyes and they look even brighter
against his shirt. “So, that’s how you’re going to play it, huh?”
“I have no
idea what you’re talking about,” I smirk. How am I supposed to be sexy around
this guy? He catches my every move. “I’m just very excited for our
picnic.”
“Well, I’m very excited to see you,” he says, before
yanking me down on top of him.
