Connie's Crop (ePub)

Marsha has broken out of a safe but boring relationship and is about to propel her journalistic career to new heights when she receives word of her Aunt Connie's unexpected passing. Connie's Will leaves Marsha a sizeable fortune, but only if she can locate her Aunt's precious and very special riding crop. Her quest for the whip will compel Marsha to confront her fears, gather allies and delve into the depths of her sexuality.

Marsha reads her Aunt's letters detailing numerous escapades centering on the whip, escapades full of bondage and domination with more than a hint of sadomasochism. In one letter, "George is an amateur body builder. He is short (5'6") but stocky. His muscles are well developed and well defined. George likes to pose for us while we recite the Latin names for his muscles from Gray's Anatomy. I've taught him to wear tight-fitting briefs and to oil his whole body before posing. He had trouble applying the oil so I had to demonstrate... That day, I was absent-mindedly watching George and contemplating rubbing his middle muscle until it was fully tensed. But that would have been an enjoyment too easily obtained and too quickly consummated. Instead, I tied his wrists to his weight-lifting bench..." Throughout her exploits, Connie lashes, and is lashed by, her magical riding crop.

But Marsha is not the only one with designs on the whip. Connie's crop is part of a vicious matrimonial battle and must remain hidden for the husband to prevail. Another party, one unafraid to employ violence, is also searching for the whip.

Will Marsha find the center of her sexuality? Will she fall in love; and if she does, will that be enough to fulfill her destiny? Will she honor her aunt's legacy by finding the whip? Or will her undeserving cousin scoop their Aunt's fortune? If she locates Aunt Connie's crop, will she realize its potential?
