Emerald: Gemstone Burlesque

By Skye Turner

Emerald is a performer at Gemstone Burlesque. After a dangerous relationship leaves her uninterested in romance, her career is enough to keep her happy.

Jonah, brother of another performer, Onyx, is hired at the club when discharged from a rehabilitation center after suffering a traumatic brain injury.

Emerald is asked to show Jonah the ropes and get him settled. She is aware of his circumstance but is completely unprepared for the man that walks through the door.

Both are broken with scars visible to the world. But together can two broken people create a perfect whole?!

***Gemstone Burlesque is a thirteen part, erotic romance serial. There will be thirteen different short stories. All are standalones. All stories will be between 7500-9500 words. THIS IS NOT EROTICA.
