A poor, short-term marriage to a selfish man convinced
Tracy McBride of two things: men can’t be trusted and sex
is a waste of time. Sure that she lacks any natural
ability in bed, the college professor prefers to lose
herself in her books and papers. She certainly couldn’t do
what her free-spirited sister Kim does—namely,
teach “intimacy” weekends at a beautiful upstate New York
resort, where the participants are looking for someone to
open the channels of sexual communication, liberate their
secret desires, and inspire new erotic temptations. But
when Kim’s pregnancy forces her to go on bed rest, she
begs Tracy to help her out by running the winter workshop.
Reluctantly, Tracy agrees, though she can’t imagine how
she, an inhibited novice, can ever get people to open up
about their most searing fantasies.
…Is More Than Skin-Deep.
What the buttoned-up beauty needs is a refresher course
herself…someone who can initiate her into the mysteries of
pleasure…and there’s no one more qualified for the
position than hotel manager, Dave Markoff. He’s got a
vested interested in keeping the weekends going at his
resort—and an equally serious interest in seducing Tracy.
Now, as the October leaves fall, so do Tracy’s
inhibitions, as she discovers an ecstasy she never
imagined possible…and a calling she can no longer deny.
