Sweet as Honey - Romance Short Story

It's Saturday night in New Orleans! The balconies and patios that line Bourbon Street are draped with beautiful women with drinks in their hands waving at the crowd of men gathering below. I've got a hand full of beaded necklaces and a cocktail in the other and can't wait to come back through for the “Boobs for Beads” show that New Orleans is famous for. But the night was just starting.Publisher's Note: This story is continued in the full-length novel The Art of Ruining a Rake, and is intended as bonus content or as an introduction to The Naughty Girls Series.A NIGHT SHE'LL NEVER FORGET...Miss Lucy Lancester has loved her brother's best friend, Roman Alexander, for as long as she can remember. So devotedly, she's vowed never to marry anyone else. But her beloved libertine is hardly aware of her existence, and not the least deserving of her affection. Deciding her cause is lost, she makes plans to open a girls' school in Bath. There's just one thing she needs to do before she confirms her spinsterhood forever: spend one blissful night in Roman's arms. But her handsome rogue isn't ready to have the tables turned. It will take more than a coquettish smile to turn his head. She must play a game...of persuasion.
