…you never took your clothes off.
Three years celibate. One dangerously tempting man. And a growing list of things that apparently don’t count.
...Technically Still Celibate
A novella
It starts with a flight
After her boyfriend’s ultimate betrayal - with her own twin sister - Stephanie Hassana James made a vow: no sex, no intimacy and absolutely no giving another man the power to break her heart.
Then Lee takes the seat beside her on a business-class flight to Dallas.
Reserved, unreadable and infuriatingly attractive, her colleague is precisely the kind of complication Stephanie has spent three years avoiding. One heated encounter at thirty-five thousand feet should have been the beginning and the end.
It isn’t.
As stolen moments become increasingly difficult to explain away, Stephanie finds herself relying on the fine print of celibacy. No intercourse means no broken vow. No commitment means no risk. And if it doesn’t count, Lee can’t possibly hurt her.
But desire has never cared about technicalities - and neither does the heart.
