I’M THANKFUL FOR
EROTICA
Today is Thanksgiving in the US, a day we get together
with family and friends, feast, and remember all the things we have to be
thankful for. In One Night In Cleveland,
my hero Matt is thankful for being mistakenly arrested—why? Because the cop who
arrests him, sexy Lieutenant Caylee Benton, stepped right out of his fantasies.
Caylee is thankful for Matt too: a reformed bad boy now
working as a chef, he’s a little rougher than what she usually goes for, but
she can’t resist just a little taste…or more. They’re about to have a wild and
lusty twenty-four hours in Cleveland and be extra thankful at the end.
Me, I’m thankful for erotica and erotic romance. Why? I
love to write and read it. Here’s the reasons why:
- Something for
everyone: Erotica explores a myriad of subjects, from the super kinky to
the sweetly vanilla. With so many writers exploring so many different plots,
desires, tastes, and taboos, everyone can find something they like.
- Diversity: Erotica
spans cultures, races, sexualities, body types, and genders. No matter who you
are and what walk of life you come from, you can find erotica that fits you.
Erotica doesn’t conform!
- Community:
Erotica writers stick together. Some authors come from situations in which they
can’t be open about what they write, so they need connection with other authors
who understand what it’s like to peddle smut for a living.
- Humor: Erotica
takes a light-hearted approach to storytelling. After all, it’s all about sex,
and sex is fun. Most erotica authors can crack a saucy joke about themselves,
too. When the world needs smut, we provide like smut superheroes!
- The great
escape: I can be as studious as the next person, but sometimes I want to
turn my brain off and enjoy a drool-worthy description of a hot guy dangling a
pair of handcuffs. Sometimes I want to read about a sexy romp between the
sheets or how that gorgeous hunk swept a girl off her feet (and into the
sheets). It’s like chocolate covered strawberries in a hot bubble bath at the
end of a long day.
This is but a short list of reasons I’m thankful people
write smut—and that they let me join in. The fantasy is lovely to explore. How
about you, what are you thankful for?
One Night in Cleveland

EXCERPT:
He
looked down at her, his eyes guarded, body tense. “So…that’s my ugly part.
That’s what you’re getting, if you want to pursue this.”
She
rested a hand on his stomach. “It takes a lot of courage to make a change like
that.” She spoke softly. “You’re very brave. I’m glad you defeated your demons.
I’m glad you’re here now.”
He
relaxed. “Thank you.”
“That
doesn’t freak me out, and yes, I’d like to pursue this.” She curled her fingers
in his shirt. “That is, if you do.”
“I’d
love to.”
She
lifted her head and he kissed her again. She rubbed his chest. He gripped her
hip, and she wanted more than anything for him to pull her into his lap. The
heat inside her flared up again, making her burn.
She
broke away. “Let’s go inside.” She’d made a decision.
He
nodded and got up with her.
Once
inside, she hurriedly closed and locked the bedroom door. Matt stood in the
middle of the room, at the end of her bed. The lamp was on in the corner,
casting yellow light across the carpet and ceiling.
“Caylee?”
He arched an eyebrow.
She
walked over to him and pressed her body against his, needing to feel him.
“Your
grandma,” he whispered.
“She’s
sound asleep. She’s a heavy sleeper, trust me. It’s the reason I wish she’d pay
her alarm bill.” She stretched up to his mouth.
He
kissed her lightly. “Yeah, but—”
“This
is my place. I’m an adult.” She caressed his broad shoulders. “I couldn’t stop
thinking about you all day. About what we did in the car. I was looking forward
to tonight, I was hoping for so much more. Even though I tried to pretend I
could behave myself.”
He
gripped her hips, his big hands making her waist seem tiny. “I was thinking
about you too. Getting off once with you wasn’t enough. It was just a taste.”
“If
you really want to leave, I’ll let you go.” She tugged the bottom of his shirt
up. “But I can’t stand the teasing anymore. I’m ready to explode. I need you.”
“I
don’t think I could walk out of here right now if I wanted to.”
BLURB:
Chef Matt Fattore lives a clean and lawful life—so he
doesn’t expect to meet the woman of his wet dreams by being arrested by her.
When Lieutenant Caylee Benton of the Cleveland PD mistakes him for a wanted
burglar, Matt finds out fantasies sometimes land right in your lap—and frisk
you.
Sparks fly despite the misunderstanding and Matt decides
to take a chance and ask her out—and maybe, coax her into bed. But Caylee is
more than just a beautiful woman with a badge and a gun. While Matt is falling
in lust with her, she’ll become his hero, too.
Matt is about to spend the wildest twenty-four hours of
his life in Cleveland, and if he’s lucky, he’ll be in handcuffs by the end of
the night.
