Eagle-eyed (or perhaps bleary-eyed, given the broadcast time for these things) viewers in the UK might recognize the format of the naked dating show in this story as being based on a show on Channel 4 called "Naked Attraction". It’s a crazy show, but strangely watchable. It made me wonder what would happen if a guy’s wife went on as a contestant—and that led straight to this story. My characters are different, of course, and I amended the format and the setting a little here and there to meet the needs of my tale, but there’s still a wacky amount of nudity on the real show, and the strange central conceit that if you choose your date based on their naked bodies, somehow that will make the dating more successful.
Outside the UK, if you search for Naked Attraction on YouTube, you’ll probably be able to get a glimpse for yourself — but don’t look while you’re at work! Even at home, you might get in trouble. I’m sure the format will be coming to a United States of America near you soon, or an Australia, or a wherever-you-currently-are.
The website that is used by Aaron and Gemma in the story is based on various cam sites, there seem to be endless numbers of them on the web these days allowing ordinary people, and apparently porn stars as well, to exhibit themselves before an eager public. I don’t think I need to name any specific examples.
My beta-readers decided this was a bit of a crazy story, but the way things are on television and the web these days, really this isn’t all that crazy a tale at all. Okay, perhaps the ending was a little unconventional. I think this is another one where some readers will like it, others will not. But you can’t always guarantee a perfectly squared away happy ending in this sub-genre — and if you did, then it would spoil the suspense in the next story you read.
Anyway, whether you liked the ending or not, thank you very much for buying this book, dear reader. Thank you for seeking a real ride when you go looking for your erotic fiction. As ever, your support is hugely important to me and other indie authors like myself.
I would like to thank my band of beta readers—Anjali, Dan, Ian, Nick and Robert—their keen eyes for typos and outright errors improve the experience for everybody, while their impressive speed minimizes any delays in getting these stories out to readers. I’d also like to thank my fellow authors Kenny Wright and Sean Geist (go read their books too!), who have helped provide an invaluable sounding board in shaping this particular tale.
So, until next time—when I promise the ending will be more straightforward—thanks again.

His Week With My Wife
Because cheating doesn’t have to end a relationship...
When Tyler discovers that his wife has been sleeping with other men while away on business attending conferences, it has the strangest effect of strengthening his desire for her.
Emily is forced to come clean and admit her infidelity to her husband after one of her new lovers — believing her to be single — invites himself to stay with her for a week, and to turn him down would likely mean she’d have to quit her job.
But to her surprise, Tyler not only allows her to continue seeing other men while away from home, he also says she can entertain her lover at home for the week he’s in town — so long as she’s happy to be shared.

Rock Her World
What happens on tour stays on tour,” she said. “Except that I’d have to tell my husband everything, right?”
Josie nodded. “That’s about it.”
Julian Dennis knows his wife gets a little hot under the collar whenever she gets to play rock guitar, especially on stage. But now her old band is getting back together for a reunion tour, it seems that her incredible performances will actually depend on Katalina getting her rocks off regularly. And yet Julian can’t just quit his job and go on tour with the band...
While the band rehearses, Julian discovers the truth about how wild previous tours were. But rather than being jealous of his wife’s promiscuous past, Julian finds it a real turn-on — and wonders if it might be best for everyone if she was free to sleep with whoever she wanted as the band tours again...
