Learning Curve (5 page)
Authors: Harper Bliss
“Come on,” Scarlet whispered while kicking off her shoes. “Time to test the bed.” Olivia’s glance caught the alarm clock on the night stand. It was three twenty-three but she already knew she was going for the full five hours. She stepped out of her shoes and, having slightly gained composure again, along with the belief that her voice wouldn’t shake too much, addressed Scarlet, “As stunning as that dress looks on you, I think it’s time to take it off.”
“At your service, madam.” Scarlet presented her back to Olivia so she could zip her out of the gown. Her skin was so smooth and evenly bronzed that Olivia suspected Scarlet of coming from another galaxy, or at least another, more sun-kissed area than northern Europe. Scarlet’s ruby dress was now a silk puddle on the hotel room carpet. The only fabric left on her skin was a wine-coloured pair of panties. What a profession, Olivia thought, it doesn’t even require wearing a bra.

Come and Go by Lee Harlem Robinson
Available as ebook for $3.99 from
Amazon US
and
Amazon UK
Who says we have to be perfect anyway?
Lee Harlem Robinson is used to getting all the girls, until she arrives in Hong Kong. Faced with a severe shortage of dateable lesbians, it takes Lee months to find romance and surrender to her first summer of love in 100% humidity. Her affair with posh banker Stella doesn't last into autumn and she's left scouring happy hour with her single gay friends again.
She's on the brink of a melt-down when she meets Nikki, a leather-clad lawyer-cum-photographer. Can they defy the odds and find love in a harsh and loose city like Hong Kong?
A blend of chick lit, romance and lesbian drama set against the backdrop of that other city that never sleeps.
Praise for Come and Go
"Delightful, delicious, well written lesbian chick lit. A refreshingly different story of love, loss and finding love again, with an added touch of humour thrown in for good measure."
"Lee Harlem Robinson is a dramatic, gruff, funny, sexy and immensely likeable heroine."
"Imagine Sex and the City or The L Word, filming in Hong Kong and you will have a hint of what the book has to offer. Come and Go is basically a unique Hong Kong version of lesbian drama."
"Come and Go is a slick, sweet and shockingly steamy read. The writing is light but lucid, expertly flirting with rosy-eyed romance but yanking the reader back to stark reality with accurate and assertive timing."
