BLURB:

Rowena Milestone, corporate executive, has an accomplished career. Yet one thing eludes her. Try as she might she can’t seem to have an orgasm even though she likes sex. Her position in the corporate man’s world tends to intimidate her dates. They perform well enough in bed, but they just don’t push her over the edge, until she meets Stephen.

Stephen Sloan has a secret. He belongs to a very special, no holds barred, anything goes sex club. He never thought he’d meet anyone like Rowena there, so he wanted to believe her outrageous story that she didn’t know how she’d gotten there. When she disappeared without a trace he knew she’d been telling the truth. Now armed with three pieces of information he is determined to find her.

Rowena was devastated when the curator of the museum couldn’t help. Minerva had said, "If the universe is willing, he will come to you." Fat chance she has of that happening.

Here is the premise for the Mystic Museum Series

Minerva’s Mystic Museum is located in New York City. Every full moon the “powers that be” choose someone from the visitors of the museum. This someone, known as the mystic walker, will be the hero/heroine of the novel. The “powers” select someone they feel deserves a second chance, or just a chance to follow their destiny. Minerva, the curator and caretaker of the museum meets the chosen mystic walker. Through the magic that has been entrusted to her, Minerva supplies them with the opportunity to change their lives.

TEASER / EXCERPT:

“First, let me assure you. We have to master and control all the things that are on these walls. We are not allowed to seriously injure anyone. Drawing blood is forbidden.”

“That makes me feel so much better,” she said sarcastically.

“Would you like a demonstration?” He moved to the wall. He took a whip in his hand.

“A demonstration is not necessary. I’ll take your word for it.” She pulled the sheet up to her chest. She couldn’t manage to keep the fear from her expression.

He gave her a sour look. “I’m not going to use this on you.”

“Oh.” She gave a tentative smile. “I thought…”

“You told me you were afraid, even terrified of the whip. Why would I use it on you?” Exasperation filled his tone.

“Because you can,” she said, her courage returning. “You made that quite clear earlier.”

“I thought I made more than that clear. This is a pleasure room, not a torture chamber. I thought you would have figured that out by now.” He frowned at her. His voice expressed his disappointment.

She felt chastised as if she were a child. “I have,” she whispered. Her cheeks flamed, she closed her eyes. “It’s just…”

“Open your eyes,” he snapped. “You have to see to believe.”

He lit three candles.

“What are you going to do?”

“Prove to you once and for all this will not hurt you.” He shook the whip in his hand. He loosened the whip from his fingertips and flipped it so its full serpentine length spread before him. The flames from the three candles flickered. “Would you like the lights on or off for the test? I can do this either way. I’m not quite good enough blindfolded yet, but I’m working on it.” He smiled.

He seemed proud of what he was about to do. “It doesn’t matter. You choose.” She had no idea of what to expect.

He flicked the whip. One of the candle flames was extinguished. The snap made her jump and gasp in surprise. Her astonishment must’ve shown in her face. He smiled. He seemed to enjoy her shock. He flipped the whip two times in rapid succession. The remaining flames were extinguished.

“Oh my God,” she breathed. “You didn’t even touch the wax.”

“So, you noticed.” He seemed pleased with himself. He gathered up the whip and put it in its place on the wall.

“I noticed.” The words were filled with awe.

“Doubting my abilities has hurt my feelings. How are you going to make it up to me?” His eyes swept over her body. They were dark and hungry.

She felt her body flush in response, and a quick jolt of excitement was awakening her nether region. “Take your clothes off and lie down. I’ll think of something.” She patted the bed next to her. She tried to give him a sexy and inviting smile.

He removed his clothes, never taking his eyes off of her. She ran her tongue over her lips before she sucked on the lower one. Stephen’s very muscular, taut frame slid into the bed next to her. Rowena straddled his hips. She eyed the handcuffs and leaned forward, reaching for them. He caught her wrist just before she could touch them.
