The Holiday Display Window

By E. Connally

James runs a lingerie and sexual novelty store and sales are dropping. He finds gorgeous Diane in a strip club and recruits her to put on an erotic show in the stores display window. The idea is to have her show off his lingerie and sales flourish. James is immediately struck by Diane’s beauty and desires her, but fortunately Diane feels the same about him.

James plans a grand Christmas show in the display window to increase sales during the Christmas season, but as he falls in love with Diane can he go through with the show? Likewise, as she falls for him can she go through with it?

E. Connally - I am an engineer, IT Manager and Entrepreneur. I have been writing for fifteen years and I am also a professional photographer. I have lived in Jamaica, Texas and all over the United States, but now live in Tennessee. I have traveled extensively in Africa, Asia, India and the Caribbean. There's something sensual and romantic about visiting another country and trying to understand its people and culture, so I try and weave my travels into all my stories.I love creating things, whether it be a beautiful sensual photo, building a chemical process or a rich steamy story. Creating things is a very personal, romantic and sensual act. I have been a photographer for over 30 years and a writer for 15. I published my first photography book over 25 years ago and my first written book 14 years ago.Being a hopeless romantic I began writing romance stories in 2005. Somehow hot and steamy passion seemed to enter into every story. So began my new career as an romance author that also believes wistful, daring, uninhibited desire is part of beautiful intimate love. All of us want to find that love. The one that conquers us, makes us weak in the knees and has a sense of belonging that completes us. It takes real strength and courage to surrender complete control to your lover, but without yielding to your lover you will never find what you seek. Submission in a relationship is strength covered in dignity. While love is a delicate balance between preserving who you are and at the same time giving all you have to your lover.To truly love you must be able to sacrifice. You must be able to give of yourself completely and totally without any regard to the consequences. Likewise, you must be able to take what you want from your lover, what you need, as well as what you desire. It's this intimate dance of give-and-take that makes love so powerful and earth shattering. As mere mortals, all we crave for someone to love us with as much passion and commitment as we love them. As simple as that sounds is incredibly hard to achieve, but when it happens look out because your world will never be the same.

Dedication

This book and all others that come after it are dedicated to my Dad. He started all this. When my dad passed, my brothers and I began going through all of his stuff we found he had been writing a book. To be honest it was more of a historical accounting of our genealogy and it was quite dry. However, it got me to think about writing.

I started writing, but somehow the problems in my own life began appearing in my writing. When work was frustrating my characters seem to also get into trouble, but always found a way out. When romance was lacking in my life, my characters seem to find hot the passionate romance I could not find.

In other words, my writing became my catharsis and life seemed much simpler on the pages of a book. Why can’t life have logical conclusions to our human frailties like they exist in stories?

Acknowledgement

I wanted to thank all my fans that gave me ideas for various scenes in this book. Your feedback is the food for my writer's soul and your ideas feed my writing compulsion. I wanted to single out ess, mishfoxyy17, Navaura, and tiemeup.makemecum for their ideas and feedback.

I also want to thank two very special people. First my editor, Ann, without her, my ideas would be here, but in an unreadable format. She structured and crafted my words into proper English language making everything readable. I did not do well in English Grammar class, so trust me you are very happy that I have such a wonderful editor. In addition, she gave me ideas for character development and directions for the story. This story is as much hers as mine.

The second special person is Brandi at ebook Cover Designs. She put together the cover design and it pulled a story into a book. I have worked with many other artists, but Brandi is incredible, easy to work with, resulting in covers beyond my wildest expectations. The Covers make the book, and they are better than I ever envisioned.

Thank you all for helping this come together into the ebook The Holiday Display Window.

The Holiday Display Window

Two years ago, James opened a lingerie and sexual novelty store. An initial flurry of sales lead James to believe that he was on the fast track to profitability, but then there was a slow decline in sales. By the end of the 1st year he was creeping into the red and print, radio and TV advertising was not cutting it.

So, he decided he needed to take matters into his own hand. He thought about getting a model to show off the merchandise, but they were so dammed expensive. He decided to see if there was gorgeous lady at any of the strip clubs that might be interested in some additional money. He knew they would be okay showing off their bodies and could easily display his wares.

James went to the three strip clubs in town and sat through all the shifts of dancers.
