Joshy Poshy and Sam Poopy were deeply on love, so deep that they could drown the entire universe with it, but the world had something against the 2 lovers. Will they ever confess their immortal love for each other or live a life of misery, eating no free chocolates on valentine's day?

Young, arrogant tycoon Earl Grey seduces the naïve coed Anna Steal with his overpowering good looks and staggering amounts of money, but will she be able to get past his fifty shames, including shopping at Walmart on Saturdays, bondage with handcuffs, and his love of BDSM (Bards, Dragons, Sorcery, and Magick)? Or will his dark secrets and constant smirking drive her over the edge? This extended excerpt from Fanny Merkin's Fifty Shames of Earl Grey is presented courtesy of Da Capo Press.
