Though it’s been over ten years, Ripley Owens feels she never moved on from the relationship that changed her into someone she no longer recognizes. Desperate to forget the past, she learns of the quaint progressive town of Bijou Basin, and it sounds like the fresh start she seeks.

She’s still acquainting herself with her new town when an advertisement for a boudoir photographer catches her eye. On a whim, Ripley books a session, hoping it can help her reclaim her identity.


Authors Note:  This short story is set 2 weeks prior to the events of the first book in the series, Natural Exposure. The series is erotic / erotic romance, but this short is not, simply a little glimpse into the town.
