A Night at the Wesley
()
About this ebook
In this short story, Connie Atkinson is on vacation and ready to embrace her inner seductress in a five-star resort in Vail. However, a freak snowstorm derails her plans and she is forced to spend the night at the lackluster Wesley Hotel in downtown Detroit.
In a gloomy mood, her spirits are lifted with the offering of a salaciously named cocktail and the appearance of her former college study partner, who didn't think of her in that way. Since her divorce, Connie is opening herself up to new possibilities and a night with Noah Cohen has just made the top of her list.

Connie Atkinson marched into the restaurant of the Wesley Hotel in downtown Detroit with a frown etched into her face. She was in need of a glass of wine, preferably something dark to match her mood.
