Description
<p><strong><em>Have you ever awoken from a vivid dream and wondered which side of waking was real?</em></strong></p><p>Burt Higgins' retirement is not going well. His children have grown, and his wife has gone off to earn a late-life degree, leaving him alone in his sprawling suburban home. With too much time on his hands, he broods on the state of the world, obsessively following the worst of cable news and the Internet. Increasingly angry at the state of affairs, he nurtures a fantasy that a dark lord from another realm has foisted these problems on humankind. If only he could transport to that world, he'd confront the demon and use the magic found there to defeat the beast and end despair forever.</p><p>On a particularly bad news day, while housebound in the midst of a snowstorm, he retreats to his study to shut out the world and immerse himself in his books. When, on a whim, he lights a candle purchased in an obscure Prague curiosity shop, a magical guide appears and offers to take him on whatever quest he chooses. When he asks to become a hero in a fantasy realm, he discovers a more complex world than he expected, and battling evil with magic turns out to be far from his greatest challenge.</p><p><strong>EVOLVED PUBLISHING PRESENTS</strong> a specualtive fantasy adventure sure not just to entertain you, but to make you consider your life, your dreams, your goals.

Story Behind The Book
What you're looking for might be right before your eyes...
Inspiration for this story came from a guy friend's unannounced visit to my house. He arrived looking for a girl he'd met at a party (me), and found an ugly duckling whose hair was up in pink curlers, coke-bottle bottom glasses perched on her nose, wearing a baggy house dress, and black rubber flip-flops on her feet (me).
He asked where I was, not realizing I was right under his nose. Glad he didn't recognize me dressed in my ugly best, I squinched up my eyes and said she (me) wasn't home. He asked if I wouldn't mind telling her (me) that he came by, took another look, shuddered, then left.
In Boss With Benefits, Jack Sloane is the brash, oblivious boss who always gets his way in business, and with women. He has no wish to get ANY way with his frumpy mouse of a secretary, Keely St. John, until he meets her stunning "sister." He then realizes he should probably get to know the one if he wants to court the other...

<p>Ms. Lelani Black has written a highly erotic story about a beautiful woman whose life was a struggle. She has presented us with an emotionally challenging plot that kept me mesmerized. This fast-paced book was a page turner. Black has given us strong, yet vulnerable, characters. The storyline was amazing and I definitely didn’t want it to end.</p>
<p>I highly recommend this sensual book. But be aware, it’s not for the faint of heart. I look forward to more by this author.</p>
