Shay Tempest brings you four standalone hot London romance novellas filled with love, story, and steam.

① Pleasure Delayer

Kim

I’ve never been one to delay pleasure. Or at least, I wasn’t, before I became a hotshot advertising executive. Now, I don’t have time for pleasure. Not until I meet Aiden, a brooding blues guitarist, who practises pleasure delaying and has the tattoo to prove it.

The only problem is, delaying pleasure with Aiden is the last thing on my mind. He drives me wild.

Aiden

The moment I see Kim, any idea of delaying pleasure vanishes. That is until she asks about my tattoo and what it means. I introduce her to the world of cold showers, obstructed gratification, and pleasure delaying.

Now I’ve met Kim, I wish I’d never heard of pleasure delaying. She drives me wild.

② Nature Undressed

Jessica

Over six foot, blonde hair, grass-green eyes, Shardlow Price has everything you would expect a film star to possess. I’m his gardener but when I meet him at a party and he comes over to talk to me, he has no idea who I am. I should probably tell him… shouldn’t I?

Shardlow

I’ve lived at Ennismore Gardens in London for over ten years and I can’t help thinking I’ve seen this woman before. I just can’t place how and when. From the moment I set foot in the room I saw her. Red dress, dark wavy hair, warm brown eyes. I can’t take my eyes off her; I have to find out who she is…

③ Naked Artist

Penny

I’ve painted real life male nudes before, but none of them had the body and looks Gabriel has. Wavy dark hair, electric blue eyes, and a body like a Grecian marble statue.

When an art critic friend tells me the only way to truly capture a male nude is to sleep with the model, I shudder with both trepidation and excitement.

Not that I would ever do such a thing simply for art’s sake…

Gabriel

In art class, the whole time Penny’s studying me, I wish it could be just the two of us.

There’s a lot of time, while she’s painting me, to imagine what I’d like to do to her. I daydream how we’d get together, how she’d become a famous artist, I become a film star, and we live happily ever after. Maybe I should try talking to her first.

If only real life was like a Hollywood romance…

④ Desirable Contract

Lucy

I’ve been single long enough. But the thought of a dating app called Desirable Contract is not the way I thought I’d meet the man of my dreams. But then, I’ve tried every other way. Maybe it’s time to try something different…

Travis

Meeting Lucy has changed everything. But if I tell her that I work for the very same coffee shop corporation intent on putting her cafe out of business, I know this will be over before it’s begun. I will tell her. When the time’s right. I will…
