Black Burlesque by L.C. Castillo

Lenore lives a quiet and reclusive life inside of her shop, Uptown Custom Vintage. She rarely ventures out, she prefers instead to live vicariously through her friends, books and black and white films. So when she decides to take her dog out for a walk and encounters a seemingly random stranger, she’s shocked at her physical reaction to him and the elixir of feelings that seem to wake within her.

This stranger begins to infiltrate her quiet little existence and stirs her life around completely. Vincent is everything she could ever want. He’s a gentleman, he’s strong, intelligent, has great taste in music and, oh, yeah, he’s handsome as all hell. Not to mention, he’s woken a hungry and depraved part of Lenore she didn’t know existed.

Lenore begins to open up, and become the person she’s always wished she could be. But what she doesn’t know is that she and Vincent are connected. Their pasts intersect and Lenore is confronted with what she thought she’d buried and run away from for good. Lenore no longer feels in control…of anything. Not even herself.
