Decided to rate this story 'R' right off the bat. Although sex plays a major role in this short story, it does have a plot ;-) I'd advise anyone who is under eighteen years of age to not go any further. ***Strong Language ***Strong Sexual Content

For the entire night, two strangers are stuck inside Shopaholics--one of the most popular chain of retail department stores. With only each other for company, what will the pair do to pass away the time? ***NOTE: This is more of a fluffy piece that does contain adult themes.

Lucy loses everything that matters to her, her partner and job and business and all her money. She loses everything, and in doing so she reconnects with an old friend, Erica, and begins to fall for her instead. And as she does, she realizes that everything she has lost doesn’t really matter to her as much as Erica So gxg romance and chicklit and a bit of businessy intrigue. Um, Evie’s Job without the age difference, basically? And a less scary ex? So basically, starting a new thing because I have this stupid habit of getting blocked, or getting anxious about wrecking a story that’s going well, or I don’t know what, just being stupid. And then I obsess over whatever isn’t finished and get nothing done at all. Which is why so much unfinished stuff lying around. But doing a little every day seems to work, and seems to make other stuff happen to. So I’m starting this in the hope that lets me finish DCW and Letters because not having them finished yet is really starting to make me a bit annoyed with myself. So there you go!

Mystery writer, Kara Keaton, moved to small town Stonebridge to start her life over after her husband's death. Between writing, renovating the hundred-year-old home she purchased, and trying to figure out how to keep the plants in her greenhouse alive, she stays busy. But not so busy that she doesn't enjoy her daily visits to the Plumber's Pub where the cheer of the town rings long and loud. And it certainly isn't a hardship to watch the stoic and sexy Ben Roberts behind the bar. The steadiest of the siblings, Ben's love and pride in being part of his family's pub is palpable. He's a straight-shooter--when it's important--with a strong stature and golden eyes that show darker hints of what runs deep within him. And from the day he meets the mysterious Kara, he's a man who knows what he wants. He just hasn't found a way into her world. Yet. With a spring storm barreling through the quaint New England town, Kara begins to let down her guard, and starts to understand that her heart truly is ready to love again.
