But Freddy is relentless. Confident. Charming. And still so, so sexy. And he’s not alone: the meddling heroes and heroines of books past are gathered around her table, judging gently—and helping themselves to pie.Some love stories don’t start at the beginning.Some start five years later, in an idyllic corner of the English countryside, unfolding alongside midnight banquets, whimsical summer games, and the second marriage of a woman who finally chose joy.And some require a formerly estranged rake to roll up his sleeves and get his hands dirty, in more ways than one.Goodbye, Earl is a second-chance Regency romance about flawed men, furious women, and the long road to trust.

The Power Play

Some people would consider me an “F boy”…an “F girl?” “F woman?” The whole term is obviously sexist. Whatever, I’m a player I guess you could say. I like sex. I like having it, talking about it, anything. Growing up it was considered shameful, wrong, sinful.Now, as an adult I do whatever I want and don’t care what others think. Which is what led me to camming. That led me to him. We have never met in real life. He doesn’t even know my real name, but he’s consumed my thoughts for years. When I’m forced to stay with the hockey player that once stood me up, I never expected him to be the man behind the screen.Or that finally getting to touch him would disrupt everything I ever thought about love and relationships, and that scares me more than anything.
