This short story takes places after the events of The Gift :
Emily DeMarco is down on her luck. Her career has come to an abrupt halt, and the woman of her dreams, Lacey, the former “companion” is with another woman. Second chances are hard to come by, but someone might offer her absolution—if Emily is willing to make the right choices.
Raven J. Spencer, lesbian, married, loves everything sensual and indulgent which led her to write erotic romance and fantasies. When she's not writing, you can often find her on Pinterest in the pursuit of inspiration.
This story was a bit scattered - didn't flow very well. Emily DeMarco x-cop is obsessed with Lacey (aka Olivia) x-escort and stocks her. Carter Forbes enters and puts a stop to Emily's stocking of Lacey. This story ties together the Surrender trilogy and The Gift.
Great story - wish it were longer. I started reading the Surrender series it's based on, and quit soon into the first, when I realized it was (apparently) about kidnapping someone to get them to fall in love with you. Made me feel icky, so I quit. But she is a good author and I enjoy this story.
I loved the connection to Carter and her group. Hooking up with Colette, who you love from The Surrender Series, was a great move for Emily. Read The Gift to get a better understanding of why Emily spirals down. This was a great way to see Emily in a new light. Great Job!
It's short, but still a lot transpires. Starting off on the wrong push until the right person comes along to offer the opportunity of lifetime. The opportunity that changes the direction of Emily's life.
