Interracial Romance (BMWW) · Sixpenny Row

Before You Fly

Twenty-two hours of his needle on her back. Six weeks to get it done. Then she is on a plane for nine months.

Shelley Mead has spent fifteen years hauling counterweights in the dark above other people's shows. Now the tour is hers by title — and before she flies, she wants a full back piece from Royston Rawle, who does only large work, by appointment, from a room above the launderette on Sixpenny Row. Paid up front. Kept as cleanly outside her life as any other bill.

Three hours in, face down under his lamp, she cannot stay outside it at all. That night the tour moves her flight forward three weeks, and the only way to finish is longer sessions, closer together, under his hands.

Five hours into the spine, she stops the machine herself — not because she cannot take the needle, but because she is done pretending to be a client.

Royston has kept one rule for twenty years. He will not be the reason a woman gives up the work she waited her whole life for. Not even her.

Explicit, unhurried and entirely unashamed. HEA guaranteed.

Perfect for fans of Talia Hibbert and Rebekah Weatherspoon.
