Stories About Things

Death preserved forever in drops of maple syrup - a name just out of reach - a bear's growl - a door that leads to... nowhere, and a man who walks through it. These are the stories of things: some just this side of reality, some just that side of... somewhere else.Shy librarian Sabrina has had her heart set on Robert, her hunky, reserved colleague, for months. Now she's taking matters into her own hands. . . and anywhere else she can manage. But once she's had her way with him, will she end up with the love match she craves even more than his luscious body? A short, H-O-T contemporary romance, Pearls of Passion is 6,000 words (about 15 pages).Review:"An excellent short story, where a long-simmering attraction finally explodes in a sexy encounter at the library! I loved the setting, the high heat level, and the promise that these characters have a great romance ahead of them. Chantilly White delivers, with enough characterization and heated lovemaking to make any reader breathless."-Anthea Lawson
