A Quarter Past Love

By: Corinne Arrowood

Narrated by: Eliana Grace

Rainie Todd was a hot mess, the poster child for dysfunction; however, from the outside, she appeared beautiful, successful, and together. The last thing she wanted was a relationship. She’d been there and done that, and it didn’t end well. Dr. Michael Landry was a nice guy, someone to date as a friend for great dinners and the occasional cocktail party. He certainly didn’t give off any vibes that ignited her sexually, but he was a good friend; that was until the night of his company party when he turned up the heat, revealing a side of him she’d never seen, and she lusted with intrigue. He was perhaps the most sexually stimulating man she’d ever met. The icing on the cake- he was in love with her from the first time they met.

The relationship hinged on the truths behind their dark secrets. Rainie opened up to Michael about her ex-husband’s wanton affairs and how it had pushed her off the rails onto a twisted path of drugs, alcohol, and reckless behavior. One wrong decision after another landed her in the midst of a cartel drug operation, endangering everyone she loved. Of all her secrets, the one she held closest to her heart was Rand-her deceased twin, who still lived on from beyond the grave. Michael opened his heart, embraced her past challenges, and confided in his need for ultimate control and a past predilection for BDSM. Once they revealed their pasts, the doors opened for steamy interludes and a deep, forever kind of love.
