FEBRUARY, 2020 THE MERRY WIDOW By: Adriana Kraft The Plot: So much for all the anticipation about the new millennium. Merry Delaney‘s life is still in a rut and shows no signs of changing. Sex? A fading memory, gone long before her husband actually died. Excitement? Hardly the hallmark of an accountant‘s life. At forty-two, what can she look forward to? Until her best friend takes Merry‘s predicament into her practiced hands. One passionate kiss unleashes possibilities Merry never dreamed of—and she wants to sample them all. Men? Women? Young? Old? Ménage? Toys? Yes, to all, to pleasure, to making up for lost time. Enter Chicago Detective Jim Barnes, who solicits Merry‘s help with a mob funds-skimming case. Can the scorching passion that soon smolders between Merry and Jim survive the escalating mob threats of exposure? Having discovered a zest for sex, will Merry ever again be satisfied with one man? Reviews Welcome. An Excerpt Sunlight poured through the skylight above the blinds. Early morning rays shone on the crystal figurine Jim had noticed the night before. He sipped his coffee. ―It‘s beautiful. Awesome, actually.‖ ―What?‖ Merry startled, as if she‘d forgotten he was there. ―The butterfly emerging from its cocoon—the way the sun‘s rays shine through and bounce off it. I almost expect the butterfly to fly away.‖ ―It is a lovely piece. My daughter gave it to me when I moved into this room. It‘s supposed to symbolize my transformation, I guess.‖ ―What are you transforming into?‖ ―I don‘t know.‖ Available in E-Book At: Author Contact Info: eXtasy Books Amazon Price: $4.99 Length: 313 Pages Heat Level: R+ Website Blog Facebook Twitter Amazon Author Page Biography: When it’s Time to Heat Things Up Award winning author Adriana Kraft is a married couple writing Sizzling Romantic Suspense and Erotic Romance for Two, Three, or More.

Our erotic romance is edgier and nearly always includes ménage or polyamory, sometimes with two women and a man, sometimes with two (or more) couples. We write our Erotic Romance stories to entertain, of course, but most of all we write them because we believe in happy endings for all who fall in love, whatever their gender, sexual orientation or numerical combination. 20 07
