Sydney Chase may have sworn off relationships—but she still has needs. So she heads to the Panther's Lair in search of sex: no strings, no emotions. The club owner, dark, mysterious Raimond Decoudreau, is exactly what she's looking for—his French accent alone makes her hot. Fortunately, his mouth has other sinful talents, as well...
After just one night with Sydney, Raimond knows she's his. And when the time is right, when she loves him in return, he'll reveal his deepest secret. For now, he'll enjoy pleasuring her in the most intimate of ways.
But when Sydney's life is threatened, Raimond's instincts take control, and she gets a glimpse at the beast within...
Esmerelda Bishop has always loved to read. After having twins and becoming a stay-at-home mom, she started doodling stories to keep her sanity. That doodling soon became an obsession. Years later, she has three short stories published with Freya's Bower and one novella with Lyrical Press. She has also placed first in numerous chapter contests.
When she's not writing, she's either at the gym, hanging with her friends or trying to catch up on TV shows she never seems to catch up on. She has a passion for extreme fighting. Not doing it, but watching it. However, she loves to punch focus pads with her pink boxing gloves.
