| Lily Hedrick wanted Julian Leaumont from the first time she saw him at the office Christmas party over a year ago and she would gladly give up her six years of celibacy for him. But there was a rule against fraternizing with employees and Lily could not afford to lose her job as switchboard operator. Hell, Lily worked two jobs--one at Leaumont Financial Services and one at Mystical Bookstore where she was an assistant manager. She had no time for fun, play, men, or relationships with juggling two jobs. Now, here she was at a masquerade party that she had decided to go to at the last minute and everyone was in every costume imaginable, with masks on to hide who they were. The ballroom was decorated in its finest with choice food that was beyond compare and at midnight they would all unmask. And then… Lily found the man of her dreams surrounded by women. She would know him anywhere. He towered above most people at the party and when he looked over to her and their eyes locked from across the room, Lily realized it was now or never. She gathered up her courage and strode across the room and asked him to dance. My, oh my, did he look yummy in his pirate costume. He could have his way with her anytime!
Julian Leaumont saw the gorgeous blonde sashaying across the floor with her nose slightly tilted up in the air. He was enraptured with her gall when she asked him to dance. Although, he had had his share of beautiful women, they all wanted his money more than him. Julian pulled the gorgeous woman into his arms. She instantly felt as if she belonged there. After the dance, she led him into a restroom where he experienced the best sex of his life and still she would not tell him her name! Melissa Jackson writes a wonderful Cinderella story that is packed with sex, and more steamy sex that will have readers panting, breathless and cheering for Lily! Masquerade is one book that you can read over and over again.
