About this ebook

Photo Finish: Teach Him Tonight, Book #1
a contemporary romance short story
by Mardi Ballou

Short story Photo Finish is the first book in Mardi Ballou’s Teach Him Tonight series. In these contemporary romances, a determined woman provides an essential lesson in love to a deserving guy.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Ambitious attorney Cassandra Harrell is primed to battle her hot, hunky opposing counsel Alex DeLuca—a.k.a. Alexander the Great—in the courtroom. Though she fantasizes about getting him into her bedroom, she’s determined to avoid this bad boy distraction and focus on her career.

Alex spots the author photo on the back cover of a steamy romance and recognizes Cassandra. Who knew the desirable but icy lawyer had such a fascinating sensuous side? When he teases her about the book at a deposition, she furiously denies any connection.

Her sister wrote the book and, for a prank, used Cassandra’s photo. Outraged at Alex for embarrassing her in front of clients, Cassandra plots a revenge lesson. This teacher comes out on top until her student raises the stakes — and the heat.

A short but sizzling story, Photo Finish packs quite a punch in just a few pages... There are depths to these two people that the author explores very well...

... a splendidly developed story... Cassie and Alex have a spark that is tangible right from the start. Their fire is evident in their dialogue as well as in the bedroom. It is well written and injected with just the right amount of emotion. There is also a secondary storyline that is included. It deals with the all too serious issue of sexual harassment and how it should be handled. Ms. Ballou includes everything in this quick, sexy read.

Author

Mardi Ballou

By day, she’s a mild-mannered language teacher. But after hours, Mardi Ballou’s wild writer persona erupts and entraps her in bondage...to her computer. Release comes only once she achieves her word count goal, at which point the maniacal chocolate monster will give her one sublime piece. And then she can spend time with her hero husband Lee, who gives great massages at strategic times. So Mardi writes what she knows—romances—hot and mainstream. In addition to independent publishing—Emergency Ex: Teach Him Tonight, Book #2 and Photo Finish: Teach Him Tonight, Book #1 are her first two—she’s written for Ellora’s Cave, Samhain, NCP, Whiskey Creek, and Changeling. Also women’s fiction. Other recent releases are Deja Brew, Dark Venues, and Soap Bloke in e-book format and Perfect Pear in the Ripe and Ready print anthology from Ellora’s Cave, plus the Fangly, My Dear anthology—Byte Marks, What’s a Ghoul to Do?, and Playing with Matches in print from Samhain.
