**Updated 4/2/21 - the MidWeek blog hop has been discontinued.**Welcome to the MidWeek Tease blog hop! Thanks to our host, Angelica Dawson, for making sure the MWT happens every week. She must be one organized lady!
This week, I'm highlighting a book with a storied past - A Perfect Hire. It's a little piece that I hope breaks a few of the PC meters. Consenting adults should be able to... have coffee together. Or do whatever. Whenever. Wherever. However. You get the drift.
Here's a bit from A Perfect Hire. Be sure to check out all this week's teases using the list at the end of this post. Enjoy!

“You’re
full of tricks aren’t you?”
“The name
of the game is get them in here. They can’t purchase if they don’t come in.”
We enjoyed
our java in comfortable silence for a few minutes but I sensed something was on
his mind.
“You’ve
bought me coffee—several cups. Can I treat you to breakfast at my place?”
I didn’t
want to him to think I was too eager nor did I want to blow the chance to get
laid. The crowd I hung out with was fun, but they were friends and we didn’t
fuck. I wanted the man across the table from me.
Hell, I
wanted him bent over it or sprawled on it, or even under it if we happened to
slide off. I met his smoky gaze and shivered.
“I’ve a
better idea since my knee isn’t up to much walking. Why don’t we go to my place
for breakfast? You can still cook, though.”
He nodded.
“Where do you live?”
I pointed
at the ceiling. “It’s a short commute.”
I’d
purchased the building a few years ago not caring that the elevator went only
as far as the second floor. With the street storefront, the second floor
stockroom and a third level apartment, it had been perfect for my needs. After
living in the small space for a year, I discovered adding a fourth story for a
bedroom suite was not only financially feasible, but would keep me sane. I
liked the old industrial elevator so I didn’t replace it with one that went all
the way to the top.
Having to
gimp my way up the stairs on a bum knee in front of a guy I planned to
repeatedly fuck senseless was embarrassing.
It also brought home the fact we would need to be a bit creative since I
couldn’t put a lot of pressure on the joint. Of course, figuring it out could
be interesting.
Eric did
the heavy lifting in the elevator, pulling the grate down with a grin.
“Going
down?”
I snorted
and answered truthfully. “Nope. It’s going up.”
His gaze
dropped to my zipper and that shit-eating grin on his face widened. “I’m not
sure it’s acceptable to take advantage of you when you can’t run from me.”
“What
makes you think I’d run even if I could?”
He closed
the distance between us and my dick finished its rise to attention. The smile
faded from his face, replaced by a searching seriousness as I grasped his hips
and pulled him closer. His hands went to my shoulders, his intense hazel gaze
locked with mine. I stared into those gleaming orbs and memorized every golden and
green fleck. The elevator jolted to a stop but I barely felt the bump in my
knee.
“Time to
get off.”
Eric shook
his head, his husky voice barely above a whisper. “It won’t be that fast.”

ABOUT A Perfect Hire
Shopkeeper Chris Douglas traveled the world as a tour guide.
He settled in New York City and turned his love of coffees and wines from
around the world into a thriving specialty business. He enjoys meeting new
people and his small emporium just off Bleecker Street brings all sorts through
his door. After he falls off a ladder, Chris tapes a “help wanted” sign on the
door and hopes it will attract the right person.
Eric Todd is at loose ends after the company he worked for
changed hands and he was let go. He can get by financially, but with too many
hours to fill in a day, he’d like a part-time job to keep busy. When he spies
the hand-drawn sign on the door of The Corked Bean, he goes inside to check out
the store - and the sexy proprietor.
