Jaiden Pride is a nearly successful makeup artist in the heart of Los Angeles. While she is comfortable with her friends and career, her love life has been almost non-existent. What are the chances of a new high-profile client introducing Jaiden to a whole new world where it is expected for LIPSTICK to smear? Marcel Franco is the ideal of international sexuality. His business is not conventional, nor his lifestyle. A free spirit and an expert in sexual chemistry, yet he has never been moved to explore the possibilities that would bring him passion beyond one night or that would interfere with his business. These two people find themselves playing a game of tug-o-war between business, loyalty, and LUST. Will they kneel before temptation or be blindsided by lies that could cost them both, everything?
Makeup Artist by day and Romance and Smut enthusiast by night, J.L. Pleasant was looking for a way to crossbreed her love for LIPSTICK and LITERATURE.
An avid reader since a tender young age, writing came naturally as this only child used her imagination to keep herself entertained. Participating in poetry slams and hosting open mic nights led her to writing monologues and one act plays.
The rise of self-publishing opened new doors and with the constant support of friends, family, Sorority sisters and a close-knit group of esteemed authors and bloggers (known as the SmutSisters), J.L. Pleasant found her niche. Adversity brought her to a wondrous place in her life journey. Being a brain aneurysm survivor, J.L. is forever grateful for each day afforded to her.
J.L. Pleasant enjoys many creative outlets including makeup artistry, karaoke, community service projects, dance, theatre, tequila, traveling, and of course books. (And not in that order)
