Liaisons Book 3 — H. Elizabeth Austin

We, the managers of Liaisons, are pleased to inform you that your membership application has been approved. You are now a member of good standing. Enclosed you will find the information on the club's policies and how to pay your membership fees. We appreciate your patience on the decision of your membership, as we had some extensive repairs and upgrades done to the building that houses Liaisons following several unfortunate events. We know there are rumors as to a shooting, the fire, and more recent issues that have transpired behind our doors. We believe all of that is behind us now. We understand it was a difficult two months for you. It was for us, as well. We, the managers and the owners, hope the recent changes to décor, the updates to our renowned playrooms, and policies will be to your liking. During this time of transformation, Montgomery Ransom, one owner, has equipped Liaisons with a professional grade kitchen and hired a chef to craft tempting treats that will entice you to linger over the tables in our newly redecorated lounge before moving on to indulge your fantasies in one of the playrooms. As you know, Ransom, as he prefers to be called, owns one of the most successful restaurants in Charleston as well as was once a member of the United States Olympic team. We also know that he has just reconnected with a former flame. If you look at his partner history here at Liaisons, you can see how much this person may have mattered to him. We know he often used our playrooms to indulge his fantasies with women who had one common trait. And that trait may prove dangerous. Fiona Campbell, born here in Charleston, has returned to our beautiful city for work. We have also learned that Fiona has made a name for herself in the sports world where she uses her degree in Sports Psychology to help young athletes. While her views on Liaisons were initially negative, one visit shortly after Liaisons reopened changed her mind about asking Ransom to terminate his membership. Fiona has applied for membership and the intriguing tidbit we can share during this process is that she has her own mysteries—which we hope to discover as you know it is an activity we so love to do here at Liaisons. We know they have a very long history and Fiona's job currently involves much travel, so how often she'll visit Liaisons remains uncertain.We heard Ransom and Fiona are currently in a playroom because one of them needed something exclusive to Liaisons. One really wonders what that fantasy was. Tell me, what are your fantasies?
