About this ebook
Need the job done right? Get a handyman with the right...tools.
Interior decorator Lindsay Bell jumped at the chance to help restore the old inn at Mason Creek. What could be more fun than letting her imagination run wild on an unlimited budget? Eagerly she plans to turn her assigned room into a fantasy BDSM playground.
All she expected from her newly hired handyman was to help her tear down a support wall. She certainly didn't expect Brad Caldwell to be so drop-dead gorgeous in a tool belt. When he proves to be a steady, hardworking, stand-up guy—unlike the men she's dated—Lindsay has a new and wicked idea.
To take her new creation on a test drive down the road of their deepest, darkest, most delicious desires—and seduce her way into his heart.

Prologue
"J ust because we ’ve all sworn off men, certainly doesn’t mean we have to lock down the candy shop, girls. "
Summoned by those forlorn words, Pamina, Goddess of Passion and Everything Enchanted, put down her paperback and lifted her long lithe frame from her cozy recliner. With unhurried steps, she padded barefoot to her bay window and peered out. She brushed her golden hair from her shoulders and pulled the morning air into her lungs. The scent of lilac carried in on the breeze and curled around her. A smile touched her mouth as two lovebirds frolicked on the perch of her bird feeder. Ah, such a beautiful autumn day, she mused.
The perfect season for lovers.
Sunlight burst through the clouds and glistened off the crisp red apples weighing down the branches on her fruit tree. Her cat Abracadabra jumped onto the window ledge beside her, curled himself into a ball and lazily groomed himself.
I guess it’s that time again, Abra.
She gathered all twenty-five pounds of fur ball into her arms and gave him a knowing wink. As the Goddess of Passion, when a woman, or in this case, three women, uttered the dismal words sworn off men
, it meant she had work to do. It was time for her to summon a bit of magic, spread a little passion and show these women they were far too young to rely on sex toys for the rest of their lives. Their perfect match was still out there, just waiting to be found, with a little help from her, of course.
Abra huffed, and in that squeaky little cat voice of his said, Well, it’s about time.
Restless, he pounced back onto the sill. Mystical eyes sparkled with interest as he glanced at the clouds. Where are we going this time? I hope it’s more exciting than the last place.
Indulging him for a moment, Pamina asked, What was wrong with the last place?
Nothing if you don’t mind hanging out in Butthole, Pennsylvania. I just so happened to mind it.
Pamina shook her head, sorry she’d asked. Why she’d gifted him with the ability to speak she’d never know.
Because you love me,
Abra said, reading her mind. Everyone loves me.
Pamina cocked her head. Yes, and all that loving is what landed you here with me in the first place.
You’re such a killjoy,
Abra huffed.
As God of Lust and Everything Desirous, you were supposed to help other men with women, not help yourself to them.
Ah, but now I only have eyes for you, Pamina.
She resisted the urge to roll her own eyes.
Abra got quiet for a moment before adding, "Come on, Pamina, turn me back into a man and let me put a little bit, or rather, a big bit of joy into your life."
Pamina bit back a grin, no need to encourage his bad-boy behavior. Ever since Abra had crossed the boundaries while in human form, she’d been gifted—or rather cursed—with taking care of him until he could learn to control his urges. After all, as gods and goddesses they were supposed to be above reproach.
Ignoring him, she leaned out the window and perused the clouds. Her white cotton dress caught a slight breeze and ruffled around her ankles. It looks like we’re going to a small town called Mason Creek, Connecticut.
She tapped Abra’s nose. Plenty of mice for you to eat, I’m sure.
Never one to enjoy her humor, Abra shivered. Very funny. Caviar yes, mice no.
He twisted around, offering her his back.
Pamina narrowed her eyes and chuckled at her ornery friend. She peered deeper into the clouds, taking in the sight of the three young, jaded women who had unknowingly beckoned her services. Not only had the women been best friends since childhood, they also all owned and operated Styles for Living, Mason Creek’s bustling interior-design shop.
Pamina studied them on this beautiful morning as they window-shopped on Main Street. Dressed in black leather pants with knee high boots to match, Lindsay Bell, the tallest of the three, had an air of bad girl about her. She peered through the window of Toys4Gals, an adult-only toy store. Brown eyes wide, she pulled a long strand of chestnut-colored hair from her cheek and turned to face her two friends and business partners. Like I said, just because we’ve sworn off men, certainly doesn’t mean we have to shut down the candy shop, girls.
Tapping one perfectly manicured nail on the shop window, she pointed to an elongated, battery-operated device. Meet Bob,
she said with a smirk. He is going to be my newest best friend.
Pamina grinned at Lindsay’s antics, noting that her smart mouth and sassy attitude completed the bad-girl package. Merging their minds as one, Pamina sifted through Lindsay’s thoughts, learning that she had a habit of dating men who’d done little more than scrounge off her. Men who wouldn’t know a hard day’s work if it jumped up and bit them on their asses and who were more than happy to dip into her meager savings.
Anna Deveau raised one brow. Bob?
she asked. Pamina turned her attention to the petite blonde. She took a moment to study her, gauging Anna’s response to Lindsay’s carefree sexual attitude. Anna worried her bottom lip, pushed her hands into her jeans pockets, and glanced up and down Main Street, seemingly embarrassed by the whole conversation.
Bob stands for ‘battery-operated boyfriend’,
Candace Steele piped up, perfect white teeth flashing in a smile. I think I’ll get one of those.
Toying with her long dark ponytail,
