"Torrid romance"

Judd Thompson, president of Pegasus, sends Marissa Sturgess to New Orleans to persuade software designer Beau Thibbedeaux to create a new video-game that enables couples to realize their sexual fantasies. Beau finds the 'gung ho take that hill at all costs' Marissa, a brigadier general's daughter, amusing but admits to himself he would desires that the passion she puts into her work be sent his way. He makes her his stimulator.

As Marissa and Beau play their own version of boudoir antics, the Big Easy heats up hotter than a summer night in the French Quarter. Soon the duo falls in love, but what will happen once his torrid video game is complete and she goes back to her aspirations that do not include a rascally rowdy rousing programmer.

AS YOU LIE IT is a wild bedroom romance starring two delectable lead characters who seem so opposite on first look, but readers will realize they both share a passion for life. Marissa is a no-nonsense workaholic while Beau enjoys frolicking as much as programming. However when it comes to Marissa virtual reality seems shallow as only reality in his bed is what he wants if he can only persuade her not to delete their growing love for one another. This is a blazing romance that fans will enjoy.
