Austin Lights — M.L. Stephens

NOT INTENDED FOR READERS UNDER 18

Against her better judgment, Jessica agrees to sing at a swingers club meeting in an upscale Austin neighborhood, but insists that she'll leave after the show. After her recent breakup, the last thing she wants is to meet someone.

Even though Devin hosts the meeting once a month, he doesn't participate. Instead, he's developed a routine of tending the bar and then retiring to his room alone, but tonight is different. The sultry sounds of the band's singer intrigues him.

Will two broken hearts find one another in the most likely of circumstances? Two hearts collide in a night that could change everything.
