"A sizzling romance"

He left Cadillac, Texas seeking a better life. Brady Weston became a very successful ad executive in Dallas. He married, but his personal life failed and now as she leaves him, his wife informed him as that he never gave her sexual satisfaction. Battered and bruised because he always felt he was a good lover, Brady goes back to the nest to heal from the divorce and his apparent lack of sexual prowess.

In Cadillac, Brady meets bar owner Eden Hallsy. Back in high school, both had a crush on one another, but did little about it. With her reputation as the town's "bad girl" and his desire and dreams about her, Brady decides she is the perfect person to prove at least to him that he is a caring competent lover. Eden is willing to share the sheets, but it hurts her that the one man she always lusted after thinks he can bed her because of her image and if she goes with libido over pride how will she survive when he returns to the big city without her?

THE PLEASURE PRINCIPLE is a torrid romantic romp for fans that like sweltering temperatures. Some readers will not like the concept of a male needing to prove his sexual abilities, but the charming lead couple takes the edge off that theme with quirky humor and an erotic sharing of love. Kimberly Raye lives up to the imprint with this blazing tale that gives much pleasure to its audience.
