Cass tries something new…
No, not a new man or a new position ::snicker:: but a new sub-genre of romance, the contemporary without a hint of the paranormal. You wouldn’t think it would be that difficult. But it was.
When I was writing it, I recall thinking, you know, this would be a good spot for the hero to bite her neck. Or maybe she could cast a spell to release their deep seated inhibitions? Hey, this secondary character would make a fine werewolf! LOL
But the story was meant to be a straight contemporary without the usual paranormal elements I normally have. I was branching out, seeing if I could do it–if I could leave out the paranormal bits…if I could overcome my own compulsion. LOL.
So I named it Compulsion! Like me, the heroine Lindsay Dannon has a compulsion. Hers is much more interesting though. Hmm, maybe I should let her tell you herself…
I didn’t always have this compulsion, this unsatisfied craving for exhibitionism, for having sex in public places, nor the edgy rush and thrill of getting caught, being exposed, until I met the company’s big boss, Jack Randolph. I couldn’t speak that first time we met, I just grabbed his hand, needed that skin to skin contact. And then I didn’t want to let go. Oh geeze, I was so awe-struck. I didn’t know men as hot as he is, even existed!
As I slowly moved up the corporate ladder, I started having more contact with Jack Randolph. Started going to meetings in the conference room. That’s when the thoughts of public sex started. I looked around that conference table, at all the stiff shirts. They’d be shocked as hell if they knew what went on inside my head at these boring meetings.
And Jack was the biggest stuff shirt of them all! Ohh, yeah, that’s when I started really fantasizing, having torrid daydreams about the boss.
He brought out all of my inner raunchy desires. Thinking about what I wanted to do to him, and have him do to me…it made me feel a little dirty. And ohh….I LIKED it.
Told you she’s a naughty girl. Daydreaming at work about taking charge of the conference room, pushing her boss Jack down onto the conference table, ripping this clothes off–having him then and there. And Lindsay doesn’t care if there’s an audience. In fact, the idea of having sex in public, that whole thing about risk and exposure is a total turn on––in her fantasies. But will she have the courage to act on them in real life?
You’ll have to read the book to find out. :)

Lindsay Dannon has a dirty little secret. While she hides behind her plain and proper image at work, a wanton woman with a rich fantasy life lurks beneath the surface. The thrill of sex in public places, and the risk of exposure, is a compulsive itch she knows only one man can scratch—her boss, Jack Randolph.
The company’s “no tolerance” policy on interoffice dating is the only thing stopping her. Good thing Jack created the rules, because he’s determined to make all of Lindsay’s sexual fantasies come true…

I always wanted to be a Playboy Playmate. Never had the nerve (or the bod) for it.
::grins:: I think Hef would have loved ya!
Strangely enough, in my younger days (i.e. skinny, youthful, perky) I actually got invited with some older friends, to go to the mansion. Yep. True story. But when the guy asked us if we were over 18, several of us had to admit we weren’t. The older girls of our group didn’t want to go without us, so none of us went. I was 16 at the time.
