Ellora’s Cave Publishing offers three levels of Romantica™ reading entertainment: S (S-ensuous), E (Erotic), and X (X-treme).
The following material contains graphic sexual content meant for mature readers. This story has been rated E–rotic.
S- ensuous love scenes are explicit and leave nothing to the imagination.
E- rotic love scenes are explicit, leave nothing to the imagination, and are high in volume per the overall word count. E-rated titles might contain material that some readers find objectionable—in other words, almost anything goes, sexually. E-rated titles are the most graphic titles we carry in terms of both sexual language and descriptiveness in these works of literature.
X- treme titles differ from E-rated titles only in plot premise and storyline execution. Stories designated with the letter X tend to contain difficult or controversial subject matter not for the faint of heart.

Taking the Job
Chapter One
Rain pounded down on Elsie Meyers as she hurried into the towering office building where Bennett Consulting offices were located in downtown Tucson. She loved rain and its clean scent, but right now she’d give anything for it to have been a nice, dry desert day.
“Damn, damn, damn!” she muttered as she reached the glass doors and yanked one of them open. In the space of time it had taken her to get from her car to the building, she became totally drenched. Her cream silk shirt was plastered to her skin, and her mauve linen skirt kept hiking up her thighs, damn near exposing her garters, her guilty little secret—wearing such sexy underwear beneath her clothing.
Thank goodness she’d swept her hair up and fastened it with a clip so at least she wouldn’t look like a drowned poodle. The natural curl in her red hair went nuts when it got wet. It was bad enough she was going to be attending her job interview looking like she’d taken a shower in her clothing.
Both the security guard on duty and the information desk clerk looked at her with interest, but she ignored them and took quick strides to the elevator bank. She inhaled a deep breath as she waited for the car and her nerves jumped when it dinged. On the way up she hitched the strap of her black, faux alligator briefcase up on her shoulder and tugged down on her skirt, hoping she looked halfway presentable. She’d really wanted to impress the owner and CEO of the company with a professional appearance—so much for that.
Once she got off at the floor for Bennett Consulting, she’d find a bathroom and touch up her makeup. God, why didn’t she think of that when she was on the bottom level?
Because you’re going to be late if you don’t hurry, that’s why!
