A Fine Line
As a secret submissive, Francesca is extremely disappointed to miss an opportunity to attend the annual “Sinful Christmas Convention” due to snow. To her further chagrin, Francesca finds herself on campus alone with the newest and most irritating fellow teacher she’d pegged from the beginning to be the consummate player.

Despite an initial attraction, Jack has found a mutual dislike for his colleague after receiving such a cold reception and is convinced that Francesca is seriously uptight. But what happens when Jake sneakily discovers her submissive tendencies? Do first impressions prove true or will Jake and Francesca find that they have more in common than their stereotypical assumptions first allowed?

The Ice House
Celebrating their two-year anniversary, Beth has found herself accompanying her boyfriend Joe on his ice-fishing expedition. There’s no doubt that the couple cares deeply for one another, which is really the only reason that Beth can think of to explain her agreeing to tag-along – especially since she doesn’t even much enjoy fishing. Coming upon their small, rustic shack, Beth is naturally skeptical about how much fun she thinks she can expect. So what will become of their affinity? Will the icy, rustic outdoors hamper their passion?

Ms. Quinn seems to have an incredible talent for remaking random, ordinary settings into a HOT place for seduction. This flair is more than apparent in The Ice House, which is sure to open your imagination to the erotically raw potential of the wilderness. At the same time, I enjoyed the bit more drama A Fine Line offered. The primary focus of both short stories, however, is on the sexual chemistry between its couples. As such, readers may find the characters a little vague, but overall likeable. With hints of BDSM, this Torrid Teaser is a surefire way to quickly heat up a night. Look out because these pages are scorching!
