"A business trip turns into an erotic interlude"

Linda Hamilton dreads the upcoming business trip accompanying her lecherous boss Steve. She's tired of ignoring his blatant passes, but she doesn't want to make trouble. Together with her co-worker Stacy, they manage to foil Steve's plans for adjoining rooms.

While taking a dip in the hotel pool, Linda spots an extremely attractive man dozing by the poolside. And she can't help but notice what's not quite covered by his baggy shorts. Never shy, Linda goes for a closer look and gets caught spying.

Richard Lewis is also in town for business. Linda is a beautiful woman and he is attracted to her. They decide to mix business with pleasure. Lots of pleasure. But what will Steve do when he discovers their affair?

SLIPPERY WHEN WET is not a very romantic read, but rather an erotic one. Mr. Carpenter doesn't try to force hearts and flowers into this modern story. You'll cheer at the comeuppance that Steve receives at the end. And you may just want to find a Fred to call your own and to pair up with your Ginger (you'll have to read the story to understand what this means).
