Blurb: When Sandra meets with Margaret DeSario, her terminally ill employer, for her six month performance review, the young nanny hopes for a raise similar to the one she previously received. Margaret does offer Sandra an obscene increase in pay, albeit combined with an obscene increase in her duties; the dying woman expects Sandra to become Mr. DeSario's mistress, with the stipulation that he mustn't know Sandra is being paid.
Sandra is naturally stunned and offended at first, but after her shock subsides, she doesn't need to contemplate the illicit offer long; Mr. DeSario is a pleasant enough man and she needs the money. Thus the two women form an unlikely partnership with Sandra attempting to seduce Margaret's husband, but when their plan works, the nanny learns what a double-edged sword seduction can be.
Warnings: This title contains graphic language related to consensual heterosexual intimacy, in addition to a mild reluctance theme and non-violent illegal activity.
Review: This is one of those stories that is romance but in a little different way.
I really felt for all the characters who were involved in this unique situation. The author really did a good job in showing the motivation and the range of emotions for everyone involved. More than once I found myself wondering what I would do in the same situation as either Mrs. Desario or Sandra.
Thank you Ms Street for a story that not only made my computer screen steam but made me stop and think.
