A poor, short-term marriage to a selfish man convinced Tracy McBride of two things: men canโt 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 couldnโt do what her free-spirited sister Kim doesโnamely, teach โintimacyโ 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 Kimโs 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 canโt imagine how she, an inhibited novice, can ever get people to open up about their most searing fantasies.
โฆIs More Than Skin-Deep.
What the buttoned-up beauty needs is a refresher course herselfโฆsomeone who can initiate her into the mysteries of pleasureโฆand thereโs no one more qualified for the position than hotel manager, Dave Markoff. Heโs got a vested interested in keeping the weekends going at his resortโand an equally serious interest in seducing Tracy. Now, as the October leaves fall, so do Tracyโs inhibitions, as she discovers an ecstasy she never imagined possibleโฆand a calling she can no longer deny.
