Mount Me Like You Mean It

Donna is in a dead end marriage, but she doesn't want to leave her middle aged husband. She seeks excitement, and she finds it once a new single father moves into the home across the street. Warning!

Here is an excerpt:

He pulled protective gloves off of his hands. "What's the job?"

"A free bookshelf I found online. It's pretty beaten up." I batted my eyelashes at him. "It needs some love." I instantly regretted batting my eyelashes. "It's going to go into my son's room."

A look of concern came over his face. "It's not pressboard or particle board, is it? That stuff is crap and it can't be saved once it starts deteriorating."

"How much?" I batted my eyelashes at him again. Dear fucking lord, why was I always doing that?

"It just needs to be thoroughly sanded and re-stained. That's all. That guy was a dumbass to give that away. It's mahogany! I'll do for free, but you have to answer one question."
