Let’s Talk About Sex
She’s used to being on mic. He makes her forget the script.
Emery Nicole built her career on honesty. As the host of the hit podcast Let’s Talk About Sex, she’s made a name for herself helping people have the conversations that scare them most—about pleasure, trust, and what it really means to want.
But when a public scandal drags her into the spotlight for all the wrong reasons, the last thing she expects is Connor Rives—a crisis fixer with ice in his veins and secrets he never shares. He’s not there to protect her. He’s there because one of his clients got caught in her story.
What starts as containment becomes something neither of them can manage: a pull that burns through every rule they’ve built, and a connection too intimate to spin.
Let’s Talk About Sex is an emotionally intelligent, high-heat contemporary romance about control, surrender, and what happens when the person you trust most is the one who undoes you completely.
Content Advisory
Let’s Talk About Sex contains explicit sexual content, including BDSM, anal play, power exchange, and rough sex between consenting adults. It explores trauma recovery, emotional surrender, and the complexities of consent and control.
Additional themes include emotional abuse (past), public shaming, and professional/personal ethics. Readers sensitive to depictions of intense sexual dynamics or emotional trauma should proceed with care.
Comprehensive List:
Sexual Content & Kink
· Multiple explicit sex scenes with detailed physical description and erotic focus.
· BDSM dynamics: dominance/submission, praise kink, spanking, power exchange, anal play.
· A scene of rough, borderline non-consensual sex that may be misinterpreted due to lack of check-ins (there is verbal consent but it’s not asked for & it is the result of one character completely losing control.)
· Exploration of consent practices, safewords, and emotional aftercare.
· Repeated use of praise language (“good girl”) and control/verbal dominance cues.
· Scenes featuring bruising, marks, and exhaustion from intense sexual activity.
Psychological & Emotional Themes
· Emotional trauma: both leads carry histories of shame and betrayal.
· Connor’s backstory includes witnessing domestic violence and internalized fear of becoming abusive.
· Emery’s backstory involves public scandal, doxing, and professional/personal betrayal (she didn’t know the man was married.)
· The novel explores trauma recovery, sexual empowerment, and trust rebuilding through kink and intimacy.
Power Imbalance & Ethical Considerations
· Connor initially functions as a PR fixer for Emery’s scandal, creating professional-personal overlap and tension over ethics and autonomy.
· Their dynamic explores control, secrecy, and negotiated surrender, with moments of blurred boundaries that could be triggering for readers sensitive to coercion or manipulation themes.
Language & Tone
· Explicit sexual language and anatomical detail.
· Coarse language used in sexual and emotional contexts.
· Dark emotional tone in scenes involving guilt, shame, and self-perception of violence.
Additional Sensitive Elements
· Mentions of childhood domestic abuse and emotional neglect.
· References to stripping, sexual stigma, and public shaming for sexual expression.
· Depiction of emotional breakdowns and self-recrimination.
· Viral scandal / cancel-culture themes (mob behavior, doxing, slut-shaming.)
· Public protests and online harassment (briefly discussed.)
Charm City Connections
Three bachelors. No interest in commitment. They were college buddies turned Baltimore’s most eligible—and emotionally unavailable—men. Commitment? Not on the agenda.
Until they each meet a woman with zero tolerance for games, plenty of snark, and enough sass to burn the whole rulebook down.
Charm City Connections is a spicy, Baltimore-based romance series featuring standalone love stories with strong heroines, sizzling chemistry, and guaranteed HEAs for every couple
An alternative artist and an aspiring museum director could be the perfect match, except his career is in the hands of her regimented grandfather who hates anything outside the box.
She’s chaos in combat boots. He’s order in a tailored suit.
Their chemistry? Absolutely explosive. The problem? Her grandfather is his boss and he’s not a fan of glitter or scandal.
Nicky Bisset lives loud and creates art that turns heads (and occasionally raises eyebrows.) She’s not interested in curating her image for anyone, least of all the uptight art world her controlling grandfather rules.
Ty Lake has one goal: land the museum director job of his dreams. That means keeping things clean, classy, and donor-approved. Falling for the town’s sassiest, most unpredictable art teacher? Definitely not part of the plan.
But when they meet at a local coffee shop, sparks fly and they can’t stay away.
She’d have to play nice to protect his career. He’d have to risk everything just to keep her. And the one person standing between them? The man who taught Ty everything… and detests Nicky for not falling in line.
It’s opposites-attract with heat, heart, and zero chill.

Content Advisories:
This section is undergoing some renovation 😉 Please forgive the messy approach here. I hope to have a more elegant (and searchable) solution in the near future.
NOTES: All of my books include explicit, on-page sex. Where cheating/infidelity is mentioned, it is NEVER between the two love interests. And profanity is a given.
