Keep Looking at Me

She read his file to the last line — his name, his history, his limits, his references. Then she took a pen and struck out every word describing what he looked like.

Naima Bassey has spent twenty years being looked at first and listened to second, and made herself unimpeachable in every studio in New York to survive it. So when the discreet Upper East Side house Ardent matches her, she drafts her own clause: for the first thirty days of a ninety-day term, she ties the blindfold on herself before he opens the door. Every time. No exceptions.

Alistair Grayling is paid to sit in the dark at the back of a concert hall and hear what a room is truly doing. He accepts her clause — and names its cost out loud before he agrees to another term. Inside a fortnight she is more nakedly devoted to a man she has never seen than to any man she could.

Then he offers, on the record, to extend the clause across the whole ninety days — and the relief that floods her tells her what she has actually been buying. Not a way to know him. The only room she has ever found where she can be devoted without being witnessed.

Day thirty is coming. She cannot lift her hands to the knot.

A steamy, open-door BWWM romance of negotiated power, protocol, and the honest contract of devotion. Perfect for fans of Rebekah Weatherspoon and Katee Robert.
