What does “Edge” mean to you?

By Starla Kaye

“Edge” defined in the dictionary as a noun refers to (1) a thin, sharpened side, as of the blade of a cutting instrument; (2) the degree of sharpness of a cutting blade; or (3) a penetrating, incisive quality.

Taking the word a step further and applying it to the stories in The Edge Series, this is how I see them.

First, they take a reader right up to the intense physical and emotional moment between the characters. Second, the reader waits on pins and needles to see exactly what will happen. And lastly, the reader learns how far the characters will go.

In these stories, the characters go right on over the edge. They have the characters testing themselves, aching for something to happen, and finally diving right into what they need/desire/must have.

In my Edge Series story, Acceptance, Chase and Rico are both missing something important in their busy lives. They are so focused on what is expected of them by their respective companies that all personal desires are almost forgotten.

Until they meet in a simple situation and things between them quickly become anything but “simple.” Attraction sparks and they face a flaring of sexual needs and desperation to do something about it. They reach that “edge.” Do they go ahead and move over that intense moment for a brief taste of satisfaction? Do they resist?

Edge stories are highly emotionally based. The characters can pull the readers along a slow roller coaster climb up the hill before racing down the other side. Or they can grab the reader right from the start and pull them to that intense moment the characters are facing and then jerk the reader right on through it along with them.

A Recipe for Keeping Things Hot

By Starla Kaye

I decided to turn my story promotion for Acceptance, my recent release from Decadent Publishing’s The Edge Series, into something a little different. I hope you have fun with it.

Ingredients:

1 Workaholic businessman (Chase Barrington)

1 Over-committed hot Spaniard (Rico Sanchez)

1 Business trip

1 Accidental meeting (country club)

2 Parts sexual need and strong attraction

Peppering of frantic need (exact amount varies)

Preparation:

Take one too busy businessman with no time for romance. Add one deliciously hot Spaniard, also overly committed with work responsibilities.

Put them together at a country club. Following a round of golf, the businessman shakes off the sudden ending of a going-nowhere relationship, needing a drink and some brief recovery time. The sexy, visiting Spaniard ends his business-seeking trip with a relaxing round of golf, in no hurry to go back to his hotel.

Let the men simmer together for a few hours, relaxing and getting to know one another. Mix in a fair amount of two parts sexual need and strong attraction. Turn the heat up to medium for a while longer.

Before the combination boils over in a public place, move the men to the Spaniard’s hotel room. Continue heating things up, up, and up.

As the ticking clock gets louder and louder…as the attraction shifts into the “wow” zone…move the men to a beach condo for some additional peppering with frantic need.

When everything seems ready to explode, remove one of the men and send him away.

Is the relationship beyond hope? Has the sizzle of their enflamed passions died? Is the recipe ruined?

Blurb:
Being the CEO of a major architectural company in California has taken over far too much of Chase’s life, leaving no time for romance. But when a handsome Spaniard offers drinks and conversation, talking leads to one spectacular night and an awareness of what he really wants. But once Rico returns home to Spain, Chase will be alone, again.

Rico lives on his family’s strict schedules with no time for contemplating what is missing in his life. He doesn’t expect to meet someone special on this business trip. But he is drawn to the big, striking blond American. Giving Chase someone to talk to, takes Rico’s mind off his problems. And a mutual attraction gives them both a chance to forget everything else and let their passionate natures run free.

Chase has a company to run and Rico must return home to Spain, a truth they must both accept, but will acceptance be enough when it comes to waking up alone?

Sometimes our lives get so crazy busy with commitments that we have to let something fall way back priority wise. It is really sad when that “something” is a romantic relationship.

Chase Barrington and Rico Sanchez are both stuck in that situation…until they meet. But are a few days of nearly out of control sex just a temporary fix to what has been missing in their lives? Or can it lead to something much more fulfilling?

BLURB:

Chase’s hectic life is out of control and romance never seems to work until he meets a sexy Spaniard who tilts the world for a few brief days. Rico must return home to Spain. Chase must accept that, but will acceptance be enough when it comes to waking up alone?

EXCERPT:

Rico yawned, exhaustion catching up with him as well as having sat for too long. “Sorry. It’s been a long day.”

“I apologize for keeping you out so late.” Chase headed for the doorway. “Hopefully you can get some rest before your plane leaves tomorrow.”

Rest wasn’t what appealed to Rico at the moment. His gaze had followed Chase’s taut ass as he walked ahead of him. He’d been thinking all night about what the handsome blond would look like naked. The man had a well-toned body and a confident way of carrying himself that had captured his interest upon meeting.  When they’d shaken hands, something had passed between them. A slight tingling sensation, but more than that. He’d been almost certain Chase had felt the connection as well. It had been a long time since Rico had felt such a powerful attraction and an aching need to take someone.

“Are you all right?” Chase asked, turning to stop and wait for him to catch up.

Pulled from his wandering thoughts, Rico said, “Si. I just have something on my mind.” He drew in a settling breath and forced a smile. “Someone, actually.”

“Someone?” Chase asked, raising one eyebrow.

Interest was there in the man’s expression, in the heat that flashed in the blue eyes. Rico took a chance. “You.”
