This is the first book in the Xciting Arrangements Escort series. The four-parts of Pimp introduce a cast of characters who are involved in a successful online escort business.
Sweetly seductive Princeton pre-med student Alyssa, has always been a good girl… until the fall of her billionaire politician father’s financial fortune forces her to step into the erotic world of high class escorts. Her money problems seem solved until she discovers her mysterious and scorching hot boss is also her provocative stepbrother Mace.
Bad boy Mace is an alpha male and a man of action. An amateur mixed martial arts fighter who is building a multi-million dollar business, he satisfies his sexual needs with casual hook-ups that don’t involve love or commitment. When his smart and sexy stepsister Alyssa waltzes into his office looking for a job, Mace is determined to dissuade her from becoming an escort. He decides to personally take charge of her schooling in the ropes of her new trade. Little does he know that he’s about to learn some new lessons himself.
Alyssa is a college age girl with coming of age issues. Still recovering from her grief over the death and loss of her wealthy father, Alyssa knows she should steer clear of her handsome stepbrother, but the the charming bastard offers some enticing benefits! He stirs her erotic and romantic feelings like no other man and she wants more.
Mace is struggling with his own issues: sadness over the loss of his mother and anger toward Alyssa’s father, whom he suspects killed his mother. He trains and fights in mixed martial arts, to help him subdue his inner demons and keep hidden his dead stepfather’s dark secrets. Mace needs to learn forgiveness before he’s ready for a serious dating relationship.
Pimp is set in urban Trenton, NJ, and it’s full of racy adventure and swift B-movie noir action. The plot is reminiscent of romantic mystery movies and dime store detective and private investigator thrillers. The story is full of twists, betrayals and suspense. The gambling and poker casinos of Las Vegas and Atlantic City, and the Jersey vacation beaches provide backdrop. Full of fun and humor, the story is seasoned with salty exchanges between the warring sexes. This new adult series is a romantic sexy saga worth reading!
Meet the author of Pimp: A Stepbrother Romance, Claire Donovan:
My name is Claire Donovan and I’m a Romance Writers of America author. I write steamy romances about resourceful, passionate heroines and the scorching hot alpha male heroes who surrender to their irresistible charms. MMA fighters, surfers, and adventurous men of all types make my knees buckle and my head swim. I am a graduate of Indiana University and currently live near Raleigh, NC. I write full-time and enjoy time with my husband, friends, family, my horse, and my two miniature dachshunds.
A former Air Force brat turned clinical chemist, toxicologist, and university professor, Ann’s life took another turn in 2001, when she began writing fiction. After completing a perfectly dreadful novel (she didn’t know it was at the time) she talked her way into a graduate writing seminar and followed that up with several years of study as she continued to write. Along the way she made friends with other writers who have supported, critiqued, and eventually praised her novels. Her debut novel, Dreams for Stones, was a finalist for the Indie Next Generation Book Award.
I grew up on the Gulf Coast and a seagoing career just came naturally. After graduation from the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy, I sailed as a ship’s officer for a number of years and then spent a decade in shore side ship management before becoming an independent (i.e. self-employed) marine surveyor in 1986. Some years later I formed a company specializing in ship construction management and supervision. I’ve been a lot of places, seen interesting things, and lived for extended periods in both South America and the Far East (Singapore and China). By far the most interesting aspect of travel (and life in general) is the people you meet along the way, and I’ve had the good fortune to encounter a lot of interesting characters. Bits and pieces of some of them make their way into the characters of my novels.
