The Groom Wanted Seconds: A Novella by Shirley Jump

"Because I want..." She glanced around, then lowered her voice to a whisper. "A man."
    Maria blinked. "A... a man?"
    "Yeah. I want to ... well, fill in the gaps in my education." She raised a brow to complete the meaning of her sentence. "Hopefully more than once."
    Maria leaned back in her seat, a smile of appreciation on her lips. She thrust a hand out to Meredith.
    "Welcome to Boston, Meredith Shordon. I'm definitely going to like working with you."
    Meredith's phone vibrated again, as if her mother was sending a protest all the way from Indiana : Don't think about sex. Doing it, watching it or even spelling it in a crossword.
    Ignoring the call was cowardly, but it bought her some time. Time to figure out who she was, what she wanted and how the city of Boston could change Meredith Shordon.
    For the better.
    But ...
    That little word grumbled inside her brain and sent an arrow of doubt through her hastily arranged plans.
    If she'd found men playing bongos in their underwear here, what else did the city of Boston hold that Meredith hadn't expected ...
    And wasn't prepared to handle?
