Love as a Brand

Love as a Brand Love Central Park

When Romance Sells, but Emotion Steals the Show

In a world where social media “likes” act as a currency. And a strategically timed kiss can be worth more than gold, love is more than an emotion.

It’s a marketable asset.

But what happens when two wildly different people agree to “fake it” for the cameras…

…then later,  discover something very real is happening off scrip?

Welcome to the irresistible chaos of Billionaire’s Naughty Secret

In this world, affection is art-directed, chemistry is monetized, and the line between performance and passion is MORE than blurred.

The Setup: Rescue the Reputation, Sell the Romance

Sheldon Woodward III—stage name Snickers—isn’t exactly boardroom material.

A hotshot DJ with a flair for scandal and an aversion to responsibility, he’s become a PR nightmare for Woodward & Co., his family’s two-hundred-year-old greeting card empire.

Enter Pip Fletcher. Temporary secretary. Vintage fashion butterfly.

Not interested in media exposure or billionaires with reputations for reckless behavior.

But when Woodward & Co.’s sharp-tongued publicist arranges a fake engagement to save the company …

… and thwart a corporate coup, Pip sees opportunity.

The financial reward could make her dream of opening a brick-and-mortar vintage store a reality.

It’s business. It’s strategy. It’s a (faux) fairy tale.

Fake Dating - Billionaire's Naughty Secret

Love as a Strategy: Turning Affection into Audience Engagement

In Billionaire’s Naughty Secret, the characters know one undeniable truth.

The truth is that whether on a greeting card or in a gossip column, romance is a powerful narrative force.

So why not use it to control public perception?

Clare, the PR guru behind the campaign, puts it plainly: “This isn’t just an engagement. It’s a publicity campaign about the romance.”

The goal of the campaign?

Soften Snickers’ image.Boost company sales.Create a media darling couple to outshine the scandal.

The message Pip and Snickers sell is perfectly packaged:

They’re opposites.
They’re intriguing.
They’re “falling” for each other.

And everyone wants to watch.

Fake It ‘Til You Feel It:
Enemies to Lovers…?

From the start, sparks crackle between Pip and Snickers …

…though neither of them would call it chemistry.

He calls her a walking thrift store.

She calls him a man-child with a turntable.

Their banter is sharp and biting.

Bursting with friction…

…and something suspiciously close to flirtation.

With every staged outing, the tension climbs.

A pretend date in the park?
Hotter than expected.

An orchestrated dog adoption featuring a fussy Frenchie named Piglet?
Done.

Suddenly, they’re holding hands.

And not just when the cameras are on.

Even Pip, queen of skepticism, wonders if her attraction to Snickers is physical, or real.

Suddenly, the “pretend” feels oh so real.

Welcome to the Age of Marketable Romance—and Magical Consequences

For readers who adore banter, tension, high-gloss stakes, and heat simmering just below the surface, Billionaire’s Naughty Secret delivers it all.

Yes, Pip and Snickers are playing a part.

Yes, the press is watching.

And yes, their every move is curated by image-makers and men in suits.

But underneath the brand, something genuine pulses.

And in a world obsessed with filters and followers, maybe authenticity hiding behind performance is the most romantic thing of all.

Strip Tease April 1 for Fake Fiance

Strip Tease April 1

Hi – I’m Pip! I’m the star of Billionaire’s Naughty Secret This is my suggestion for a FUN Strip Tease April 1.

“Strip Tease April 1” – At first, I thought it was another PR stunt—just one of many in our perfectly polished fake engagement.

Glamorous dinners, choreographed kisses, and strategic appearances to polish his image and keep the family empire intact.

But on April 1st, things changed.

After a long day of posing for flashbulbs and dodging questions about “the wedding,”

I returned to the penthouse suite we were sharing to find a black silk box resting on my pillow. Inside: a single pair of sheer jet-black stockings… and a note penned in his unmistakable slanted hand.

Tonight, we reverse the game for tonight’s Strip Tease April 1

You come to me bare. I’ll put you back together… one piece at a time. Happy April Fool’s, sweetheart.”

At first, I laughed. His trademark mischief, flirting with lines he shouldn’t cross.

But when I stepped into the room that night—wearing nothing but heels and the nerve it took to play his game—

I saw the shift in his eyes. No more teasing smirk. Just heat. Hunger. And something terrifyingly close to reverence.

Piece by piece, he dressed me—not roughly or hurriedly, but with the precision of a man savoring every moment. Stockings first.

His palms smoothed the silk against my legs like worship. A delicate corset next, his knuckles brushing my bare back as he laced it tight.

Strip Tease April 1

Each item became a promise. Each touch, a confession.

By the time the final earring clipped into place, I wasn’t acting for cameras anymore.

I was trembling in his arms, clothed but undone.

Was it still a game? Or had we gone too far?

April Fool’s had started with silk, suggestion, and smirks. It ended with trembling sighs and the quiet realization that pretending had stopped the second he touched me like I was something rare… something real.

🔥 Sensual Tips Inspired by the Scene:

Build tension with anticipation — a strip tease in reverse heightens desire without rushing the moment.

 

Luxury fabric (silk, lace, cashmere) isn’t just aesthetic — it invites slower, more indulgent touch.

 

Create intimacy with power play: who dresses (or undresses) whom becomes a thrilling shift in control.

 

Embrace innuendo and layered meaning — not every caress needs narration; suggestion is seductive.

 

Sensual energy is in the details: a glance in the mirror, the whisper of fabric, the catch of breath.

Bad Boy Hero: When Player Gets Played

Bad Boy Hero: When the Player Gets Played Bad Boy Hero

Are you with me on this?

Picture this. The hero enters the book. He’s wearing black leather, smells of tobacco – and sin!

You are moist and ready for an arousing toe-curling romance with this fictional bad boy.

Well – at least I do.

Allure of the Bad Boy

The allure of the bad boy isn’t just about charm, danger, or a devil-may-care attitude.

It’s about what lies beneath the bravado.

Do you love this moment in books? When a guy who seems untouchable finally lets his guard down.

Every good “bad boy” novel has when you, dear reader, can glimpse the hidden vulnerability beneath his swagger.

Do you agree it creates a tension that’s both thrilling and heart-melting?

All About Snickers

That’s exactly why billionaire DJ Sheldon “Snickers” Woodward III in the book Billionaire’s Naughty Romance captures our attention.

On the surface, Snickers are reckless, impulsive, and maddeningly charming.

He plays the role of the untamed heir, rebelling against the family empire with public antics and a party-boy reputation.

But beneath the flashing paparazzi lights and headline-making behavior, something else simmers.

A man who craves connection on his own terms. A man whose teasing words conceal deeper emotions.

And a man who, against all odds, falls for the one woman who was never supposed to be real.

So why do we love men like Snickers?

And how does a seemingly self-destructive billionaire manage to become the very thing romance readers swoon over—a hero worth loving?

The Freedom of Rebellion

A bad boy hero embodies that sense of freedom.

He isn’t bound by expectation.

He doesn’t play nice with authority.

And his confidence is intoxicating.

With Snickers, rebellion is more than just reckless behavior—it’s survival. From his playful DJ persona to his deliberately provocative antics, every outrageous decision is a way of pushing back against the weight of his family legacy.

But the beauty of the rebellious billionaire isn’t just in his defiance. It’s in the moments when he chooses to break his own patterns, when he allows himself to want something he can’t control.

He may ignore corporate boardrooms and shirk responsibility, but when he’s finally faced with someone who calls him out—someone genuine, unexpected, irresistible—he’s forced to make a choice. And that? That is where the real fire begins.

Billionaire's Naughty Secret

Confidence Meets Vulnerability

The perfect bad boy hero isn’t just confident—he’s secretly wounded.

It’s this contrast that keeps us hooked.

We admire his bravado.

We crave his smirks and teasing remarks.

Yet what we’re really creaming to uncover is his raw, unguarded side.

That’s exactly what keeps Pip intrigued, even when Snickers drives her mad.

Pip sees the man beneath the performance. The one who adopts an abandoned French bulldog on a whim.

The one who holds on just a little too long during fake kisses.

The one who, despite his sarcasm, pays attention to the details …

… like the way her fingers linger on vintage fabrics. The tilt of her head when she’s about to argue. And the way she bites her lip when she’s thinking.

Teasing as Foreplay

Nothing heightens attraction more than playful teasing.

It creates tension, builds frustration, and makes every interaction charged with possibility.

The push-pull dynamic of the reluctant hero and the woman who refuses to fall for his act makes for delicious eavesdropping.

Women loves Snickers deadpan sarcasm, his wicked grin, and his half-insulting, half-flirtatious lines.

But Pip refuses to crumble under his charm. She throws his teasing right back at him.

Refuses to fawn.

And refuses to let him get away with a smirk and a wink.

For a man used to easy conquests, it’s both frustrating and exhilarating.

And that’s where the real chemistry explodes.

Fake Dating: New or Timeless Concept?

Fake Dating - New or Timeless Concept? Faje dating

Is “Fake Dating” a new or Timeless Concept?

Netflix’s “Bridgerton” has resurrected America’s love affair with romance. It proves what romance authors have always known. Which is that certain relationship dynamics never go out of style.

They simply change costumes.

Bridgerton’s Brilliant Deceptions

In Regency London, fake relationships serve ruthlessly practical purposes.

Why?

Because marriage, especially for women, determined everything: social standing, financial security, family alliances.

Fake Dating - Billionaire's Naughty Secret

Love was never the primary motivation.

In today’s Manhattan dating scene has traded carriages for Ubers, and dance cards for dating apps. Yet the fundamental human dynamics remain shockingly similar.

The Modern Masquerade Ball

Manhattan’s elite still perform carefully choreographed romantic dances.

Yet now, it’s under crystal chandeliers in Tribeca lofts rather than Mayfair ballrooms.

The pressure to present the right “relationship image” is enormous in certain circles. It can be damaging in some industries to appear perpetually single or to date the ‘wrong’ person.’

Tech startups now offer “relationship rentals” – attractive, well-vetted individuals available for everything from family holidays to corporate events. Some charge upwards of $300 per hour for believable companionship.

Instead of Lady Whistledown’s scandal sheets, we have Instagram stories and Page Six, where relationship performance becomes social currency.

Why We Can’t Resist the Fake Dating Trope

Both Bridgerton and modern romance novels tap into deep psychological gratification:

1, The thrill of watching pretense crumble. 

Remember that electric moment when Anthony Bridgerton surrenders to desire? It mirrors our own fantasies of authentic connection breaking through social constraints.

2, Fake dating increases delicious slow-burn tension. 

Forced proximity creates unignorable chemistry, Regency carriage ride?  Manhattan penthouse elevator? In both, confined spaces with forbidden attraction create irresistible tension.

3, Fake dating presents the fantasy of being truly seen. 

In both eras, the fake relationship trope allows characters to be recognized for who they truly are, rather than the masks they wear.

From Regency to Recent Release

The threads connecting Bridgerton’s ballrooms to modern Manhattan romance run deeper than superficial plot devices.

Both explore fundamental human desires for connection beneath social performance.

Historical and contemporary romance often mirror each other.

The settings change, but the emotional journeys remain consistent   expectations. That’s why “fake dating” captivates audiences today.

Flirting in Florence

Flirting in Florence Flirting in Florence: The Art of Seduction You Didn’t Know You Needed

What happens in Florence… doesn’t have to stay in Florence.

There’s something in the air here. Maybe it’s the history, the romance, or the way the Tuscan sun turns everything gold, but one thing is clear: Florence is a city designed for desire.

Flirting isn’t just something that happens here—it’s a way of life. Whether between couples who have been together for years or strangers sharing a stolen glance, attraction in Florence is slow-burn, rich, and deeply intentional. And once you experience it, you’ll wonder why American flirting feels so… mechanical.

So what makes flirting in Florence different? And what can we steal from the locals? Here’s your guide to embracing the art of irresistible attraction—Florentine style.

1. The Power of Eye Contact

Florentines don’t shy away from holding a gaze, and neither should you.
✔ Lock eyes, but don’t rush to look away. Let the moment linger.
✔ No darting glances—slow, steady, confident looks create chemistry.
✔ Pair it with a knowing half-smile. You’re not looking; you’re inviting.

2. Drop Your Voice

American flirting often feels loud, pitched for a room. Florentine seduction happens at a whisper.
✔ Lean in when you speak, and let your voice drop—low, smooth, and slow.
✔ Don’t rush your words. An extra second of silence can be a tease.
✔ Speak as if there’s no one else in the room—just you and them.

3. Touch, But Make It Subtle

Forget the grand gestures—real flirting is a brush of fingertips, a knee touching beneath the table.
✔ A soft graze on the forearm during conversation makes an impact.
✔ Let your hands linger when passing a glass or fixing a collar.
✔ Toe-tapping below the table feels playful, intimate, and just a little mischievous.

4. Proximity is Everything

Florentines close the gap. Personal space? Optional.
✔ Sit closer than necessary—let shoulders touch, let legs press together.
✔ Walk side by side, close enough that a shift in pace makes you brush against each other.
✔ Standing in a crowded bar? Let the energy of a near-touch do the flirting for you.

Flirting Success Flirting in Florence 5. Dress Like You Care

Attraction starts with effort. Florentines don’t do sloppy.
✔ A well-fitted blazer, polished shoes, and clean lines scream confidence.
✔ Women don’t overdo it—elegance trumps flash every time.
✔ Dressing well isn’t about vanity; it’s about showing intent.

6. The Art of the Slow Burn

Florentine flirting isn’t about efficiency—it’s about the tease.
✔ Don’t rush the exchange; let tension build.
✔ Playful back-and-forth beats direct pick-up lines any day.
✔ Make them wait for the next touch, the next word, the next move.

7. Smile Like You Mean It

Florentines know that a smile is the ultimate invitation.
✔ A slight, knowing smile is always more mysterious than a full grin.
✔ Add a head tilt—it adds intrigue and draws people in.
✔ Smiling while maintaining eye contact? That’s game over.

8. Confidence Without Cockiness

The secret ingredient? Assuredness without arrogance.
✔ Approach without hesitation, but never aggressively.
✔ Engage, but know when to let mystery do the work.
✔ Flirting is a two-player game—let them come to you, too.

Steal the Florence Effect

Florence doesn’t just make lovers out of people—it makes better flirts out of them. The locals remind us that attraction isn’t about volume, pickup lines, or rushing toward an outcome. It’s about presence, timing, and the right kind of tension.

Next time you’re out—whether in Florence, New York, or anywhere else—ditch the apps, slow down, and flirt like a Florentine.

Your next unforgettable encounter could be just a knowing glance away.

Writing Sex Scenes – Brainstorm to Bedchamber:

Writing Sex Scenes - From Brainstorm to Bedchamber

Writing a great sex scene takes more than just an active imagination—it requires an intimate connection with the characters, an understanding of their desires, and an awareness of what makes the moment feel both natural and electrifying.

Some authors swear by setting the mood with music, candles, or even a glass of wine.

Others map out every detail beforehand, ensuring each moment builds the tension perfectly.

Then there are those who throw planning out the window and let their characters take the lead, allowing the seduction to unfold organically.

For me, writing a sex scene isn’t just about chemistry or passion—it’s about who the characters are and how this moment will change them.

The approach I take depends entirely on the female lead. Her personality, her confidence (or lack thereof), and her emotional journey all influence how I craft the scene.

Which brings me to Billionaire’s Christmas Surprise—a book that required a unique approach for one very special reason.

Billionaire’s Christmas Surprise – Why The Sex Scene Had to Be Different

Now, you’re probably wondering—Christmas and hot sex? What do those have to do with each other? Great question!

The magic of this story came from the heroine’s innocence—not just in experience, but in self-perception.

While all my heroines have an air of innocence in different ways, this character stood out. Unlike my other female leads, who were often glamorous, sexy, or effortlessly confident, she was cute, funny, vibrant—but never considered the “hot girl.”

This was a plain Jane gets her prince romance, and that meant writing their first intimate moment differently. She had spent her life believing she was ordinary.

But in his eyes? She was extraordinary. The challenge was ensuring that realization hit at just the right moment.

Brainstorm to Bedroom Setting the Scene – A Subtle Seduction

Hints of her hidden beauty were woven throughout the narrative.

For example, she wore beautiful lingerie beneath her outfit—but not by choice. She was practical, modest, and never the type to splurge on sexy lingerie—but by sheer coincidence, she happened to have it.

Then came the whirlwind wedding. The billionaire hero, completely enchanted, proposed out of nowhere in a grand, public setting. 

There was no time to prepare—before she knew it, they were at a justice of the peace, tying the knot on the spot.

And suddenly, it was their wedding night.

She hadn’t anticipated it, but underneath her breathtaking dress, she was already wearing the most stunning lingerie imaginable.

That moment was pivotal. Standing in front of the mirror, freshly married to a man who adored her, she saw herself differently. She wasn’t just “plain” anymore. In the reflection, she saw herself through his eyes—beautiful, desirable, breathtaking.

Oh, and then there was the small (major!) factor of her petite, five-foot frame compared to his towering, muscled physique. 

As a virgin, she had one pressing question: just how was this supposed to work?!

Where I Actually Wrote the Scene—The Unexpected Inspiration

So now you’re wondering—how did I actually write it?

Did I light incense? No.
Did I surround myself with candles? No.

Did I play love songs in the background? Nope.

Believe it or not, I wrote this sex scene… in Central Park.

Here’s how it happened:

After an exercise class, I was walking home, taking my usual route down Central Park West.

To my left was The Plaza Hotel, to my right, the sprawling park. The scene was playing in my head, unfolding like a movie—and I couldn’t go home yet.

Why? Because I dictate my books aloud.

And let’s be honest—dictating an explicit, intimate sex scene as you stride into your in your apartment building lobby

—where neighbors, employees, and doormen will  overhear—is a little awkward.

Instead, I wandered deep into the park, where only the occasional carriage driver or pedicab biker might overhear me muttering passionate dialogue.

The setting was far from candlelit romance, but once the scene started flowing, nothing else mattered.

Would soft lighting and love songs have made it even steamier? Maybe.

But crafting this heroine’s first-time experience wasn’t about setting the perfect mood for myself—it was about stepping into her world and seeing the moment through her eyes.

Because, in the end, that’s what makes a sex scene truly unforgettable.

Jane Austen: Are her Themes Billionaire Romance?

Jane Austen vs Billionaire's Forbidden Nanny Romance Jane Austen: Billionaire Romance Novelist Ahead of her Time?

 

From Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice to billionaire romance, powerful men fall hardest when the right woman enters their lives.

Why do we fall in love with wealthy, brooding heroes who refuse to love us—at first? From Mr. Darcy’s pride to today’s aloof billionaire love interests, readers and audiences have always been captivated by the emotionally distant, powerful man.

He’s often untouchable, hiding his vulnerabilities behind walls of wealth, control, or sheer arrogance. Yet time and time again, these men are brought to their knees by one thing: love.

In Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, 212 years strong, Mr. Darcy serves as the ultimate prototype for this irresistible trope. He clings to his pride, his wealth, and his reserved demeanor as tools to guard his heart—only to be disarmed entirely by Lizzy Bennet, a witty, independent woman of “lower” social status.

Their story set the stage for the entire opposites-attract framework: an guarded hero, a heroine who refuses to wilt before his icy walls, and the eventual unraveling of his heart.

Fast forward to modern-day billionaire romances like The Billionaire’s Forbidden Nanny Romance, and we see these patterns endure, though with more yachts and private jets in the mix. Take Hunter Stone, a handsome widower drowning in grief and control, and Lexi, a talented young musician trying to carve out her life despite the odds.

When Lexi steps into Hunter’s world, she’s supposed to be a simple temporary hire—a nanny for a long Hamptons weekend. Yet, like Elizabeth Bennet, Lexi’s warmth, independence, and genuine care cut through the billionaire’s armor and unlock his heart.

So, can guarded billionaires (or uptight Regency gentlemen) truly be tamed? Let’s uncover the secret.

1. Why We Love the Guarded Hero Archetype

The appeal of the proud, unapproachable hero isn’t new. Jane Austen perfected it in Mr. Darcy back in 1813, and romance writers have built on this foundation for centuries. The guarded hero intrigues us because of his mystery. His stoic demeanor makes us ask: What hurt him? What’s he hiding? We sense there’s more beneath the surface—deep pain, passion, or longing—and we yearn to see it brought to light.

In The Billionaire’s Forbidden Nanny Romance, Hunter Stone embodies this archetype perfectly. As a widower, he’s emotionally distant yet deeply protective of his daughter, Ava.

His wealth and sophistication suggest untouchability, but tiny cracks in his façade reveal a man who longs to be seen and loved. Like Mr. Darcy, he doesn’t easily let people in, and early on, Lexi meets a cold, guarded figure who keeps his pain hidden deep inside.

But this is precisely why guarded heroes are irresistible: we want to see the right woman uncover their vulnerable side—the side they only reveal to her.

2. Enter the Heroine: The Stubborn, Spirited Woman Who Changes Everything

Powerful men need strong women to break through their walls, and heroines like Elizabeth Bennet or Lexi are the perfect foils. They’re independent, self-assured, and unwilling to accept less than they deserve.

These heroines don’t simply exist to fix broken men; they challenge them to grow, to love, and—most importantly—to become better versions of themselves.

Elizabeth meets Mr. Darcy’s arrogance with sharp wit, refusing to let his wealth or power intimidate her. Similarly, Lexi doesn’t swoon at Hunter’s prestige or fortune.

A talented musician working her way through NYU, Lexi has dreams of her own and a determination to make them happen. Her authenticity and confidence strike a nerve in Hunter, a man used to commanding the world around him.

Over the course of The Billionaire’s Forbidden Nanny Romance, Lexi becomes more than just an employee—she becomes a substitute mother to Ava and a mirror reflecting the kindness and connection Hunter has long buried.

Like Elizabeth Bennet with Darcy, she unwittingly forces him to question his pride, his grief, and his reluctance to let someone new into his heart.

3. Class Divide, Power, and Emotional Vulnerability

What makes these love stories so enduring is the tension of two vastly different worlds colliding. Whether it’s Elizabeth Bennet, the middle-class daughter of a country gentleman, or Lexi, a young artist struggling in New York, the heroines of these tales step into the orbit of powerful, wealthy men living in a world they seemingly don’t belong in.

In Pride and Prejudice, Elizabeth refuses to take Mr. Darcy’s wealth—or his judgment—as a reason to see herself as “less than.” Her self-respect shatters his elitist worldview and reminds him of what truly matters: character, kindness, and humility.

Similarly, in The Billionaire’s Forbidden Nanny Romance, Lexi’s modest life gives her a perspective that Hunter has long lost touch with in his world of luxury and isolation.

Yet, the heroines don’t only barge into the hero’s world; they bring emotional vulnerability into it. For Hunter, Lexi’s openness with Ava reminds him of the father—and man—he wants to be. It’s not just her beauty or laughter that captivates him. It’s her heart.

Billionaire's Forbidden Nanny Romance

4. The Secret to Taming the Guarded Billionaire? Love That Demands Change.

So, can an guarded billionaire—or Mr. Darcy—truly be tamed? The answer lies in transformation. Both Pride and Prejudice and The Billionaire’s Forbidden Nanny Romance showcase powerful men who fall in love because the heroine challenges them to grow.

Darcy’s love for Elizabeth forces him to reevaluate his arrogance, express vulnerability, and fight for a woman who many would consider beneath his station. Similarly, Hunter sheds his cold control as he lets Lexi into his life not just as Ava’s caretaker, but as a partner who can meet him equally, even with their vastly different worlds.

Neither man is “tamed” in the sense of being broken down. Instead, love becomes the force that allows them to be their authentic selves.

Conclusion: Timeless Love Stories

For 212 years, Mr. Darcy’s brooding presence and eventual redemption have remained one of romance’s most celebrated arcs. Today, his literary descendants—powerful billionaires like Hunter Stone—continue to enchant readers by proving that wealth and power mean nothing without love.

The right woman doesn’t strip them of control or strength—she amplifies it by opening their hearts. For Lexi and Hunter, like Lizzy and Darcy, the greatest transformation is realizing that vulnerability isn’t a weakness. It’s the greatest strength of all.

So, can an guarded billionaire truly be tamed? The secret lies in love—one that’s not just given, but earned.

“What Women Fantasize About: Untold Desires”

What Women Fantasize About: Untold Desires What Women Fantasize About: Untold Desires What Women Want

What Women Fantasize About: Untold Desires

What do women think about when their minds wander during intimate times?

Do their thoughts drift to stolen glances, whispered promises, or forbidden passions?

Perhaps they imagine a fleeting connection, a stranger who lingers on their mind …

… or a daring scenario they wouldn’t dare speak aloud.

Recently, a fascinating cultural shift has brought these questions into focus.

 From films to books, women’s fantasies—once hidden in secrecy—are now a topic of curiosity and conversation.

Even the New York Times explored this in its coverage of the Nicole Kidman film Baby Girl.

This steamy story follows a woman’s exploration of her own carnal desires.

After seeing the movie, many women gathered to share long-hidden desires and express their own sexual repression for the first time.

In doing so, many women realized they weren’t alone in their fantasies.

Their most repressed sexual desires, their forbidden lustful thoughts, were suddenly “ok.”

Normal, even.

Baby Girl created a conversation point for the topic of women’s fantasies.

With the major question being:

What do women fantasize about?

And why are these fantasies so vital?

Why Fantasies Matter

Fantasies are deeply personal—and strikingly universal.

They rarely reflect what’s practical or achievable and often center on the intangible, the forbidden, or the unattainable.

A stranger’s glance that lingers too long.

A moment that sparks curiosity but never evolves, remaining locked away in private thoughts.

For women, fantasies aren’t just about desire; they’re about self-discovery.

They provide the freedom to explore feelings and longings unconstrained by real-world rules.

Films like Baby Girl prove that fantasies aren’t bound by circumstance.

Whether shared openly or kept secret, fantasies remind us that our inner worlds are textured, vibrant, and still alive with possibilities.

When Fantasies Spark Stories

Fiction plays beautifully into this space.

It offers a safe outlet for women to imagine themselves in thrilling scenarios, free from judgment.

My new book, Claimed, gives readers just that …

…An exploration of tension, longing, and the delicious ache of unspoken desires.

Take Pixie, the lead character.

Young and naive, she secretly fantasizes about forbidden Alexander, even after the steam room incident.

She had entered what she assumed to be an empty steam room, only to find the secret object of his desires standing there, unapologetically bare, framed by clouds of mist.

She retreats, her cheeks flushed, apologizing while trying not to stare too long.

But it’s too late—he’s a living Adonis, his powerful presence etched in her mind.

Alone in her room, his memory replays in her mind.

That forbidden thrill.

A magnetic pull.

Her fantasies become a space where she can freely play.

Indulging in taboo desires she doesn’t dare voice aloud.

What Women Want - Claimed

Why Fantasies Intrigue Us

Pixie’s story exemplifies why fantasies resonate so deeply.

They’re about understanding what draws us in, what excites us, and what makes us feel alive.

Fantasies aren’t meant to be literal.

They play in the realm of “what if?” rather than “what is.”

And they allow us to explore without consequence, imagine without limits …

… and tap into a part of ourselves we may not even fully understand.

A woman may fantasize about being with a man while wearing a naughty red dress …

… or agree to his demand to wear white cotten panties … 

Your Invitation to Explore

Claimed is about more than just romance.

It’s about surrender—allowing yourself to feel, to imagine, and, ultimately, to indulge in the thrill of longing.

What made Pixie fantasize about the illicit Alexander?

Quite possibly, the unexpected intensity of finally seeing her dreams come to life, if only for a moment.

Are you ready to meet Pixie and Alexander and let their rich and sexy story ignite your imagination?
