Synopsis

As I left the place of my birth and long abiding and took the road to that far country where I thought my fortune lay, the sun already had a countenance. It was shining on the chestnut trees; on the tall white walls of the house of justice at the corner of the square; on the worthy priest who was sprinkling holy water on the steps of the monastery of the Bleeding Heart to suppress the dust, to keep away the flies, and to consecrate the building; and especially on the only bailiff that our town could boast, whose salary fluctuated with the thieves he captured. He, honest fellow, had driven so poor a trade of late that he crept along in his winter coat, seeking the shade of trees and houses.

    A spicy barista tale where seductions meet fantasies as jubilant topless baristas peddle mutual desires for patrons. It's reciprocal because the female staff craves all the naughty action as much as the customers. The steamiest stuff is not on the menu, and all the usual coffee shop goers know this. What they enjoy together in extreme exhibitionism and full-strength voyeurism is what they carefully conceal from the vanilla public. It's not hidden when a coffee customer wants more, and if the waitress is willing, the hotness goes off the charts, and not in just how well she makes an exquisite cup of steaming coffee. 
    This story contains mild BDSM in the form of spanking and wife sharing.

    Submission is freeing... Love is a trap. 
    I’ve never seen his face. But I ache to feel his body. 
    My fellow soldiers call him Alpha. 
    It’s an insult. Mocking his macho bravado, his aggressive arrogance. I’ve heard the snark, seen the rolled eyes. Alpha. It’s a joke. 
    But when I hear him speak… his rich, deep voice... his lush British accent... I guess the joke’s on me. 
    Since the zombies came, civilization fell, and new social structures arose, I’ve known that my independence relies on my disinterest in any particular man. The powers that be haven’t resorted to forced procreation… at least not yet; they still expect we’ll fall in love and walk into the trap willingly. 
    My resistance requires that I avoid emotional connections. My existence requires that I avoid distractions, that I stand and fight. 
    But every time this man speaks, I want to fall to my knees, offer myself to him. However he’ll have me. 
    Lust is a distraction I can’t afford, but it’s not love. As long as I don’t fall in love, I’m safe. And who could possibly fall for Alpha? 
    Lust for Tomorrow is a high-heat dystopian science fiction romance. The HEA is also the beginning of The Stronghold series. Full content details can be found on the author's website.

    While riding a stage back to the city late in the summer, a youngster had no money to spend, and so gives his lucky piece as payment to a young girl selling berries by the roadside. As time passes, in the Adirondack mountains of northern New York state, a tale unfolds involving two young women, two young men, and a bevy of characters the likes of which lend to a series of events which make up a fascinating story. Constance was one not to be controlled, she was a free spirit, as in fairy tales, wont to follow the moment rather than ideas presented to her by others. Frank came from a well to do family who expected nothing but success from their offspring. Robin appeared of suspicious origin, but was noble in nature, while Edith Morrison was quite well known at the Lodge in the mountains where the tale takes place. There are love stories, mushrooms, close and distant relationships, and life in the Adirondacks in this story which revolves around the lucky piece which once served as payment for a hatful of berries.
