The photographer Anthony asks for her assistance with his equipment, but also to help fend off the prowling woman, and suggests they have dinner to offer his gratitude for saving him from the cougar, who seems hell-bent on making Anthony her next conquest. Syria is anxious and shy, having never dated in the small town where her mixed-raced heritage and absent father were a constant source of gossip. Anthony comes on a little too strong at dinner, sending her into a panic, but with encouragement from a friend, Syria decides this might be her best opportunity to loosen up and gain some life experience from someone who knows exactly how to make a woman look and feel beautiful. Their tryst by a lake goes from photo lesson, to sexy photo shoot, to a seduction that will change Syria's life and open her eyes to both the beauty within her and an art form that will become her new passion. 12,500 words/45 pages Some material for mature readers 17+ less

Syria's eyes widened. "What do you plan to do with those?" "Terrible things." His eyes danced with mischief. He let go of her ankles and grasped her wrists. His lips surrounded her nipple once again as he expertly entwined the leather around and through her arms. "Just a little bit of bondage. Nothing elaborate." Her heart hammered. She should be afraid, a stranger tying her up. Once her wrists were lashed together he pushed the reins through the runners of the wood sleigh and wrapped the ends around his own wrist.
