Giftwrapped

by Maria Violante

Reeling from a disastrous relationship, Schoolyard Angels front-woman Linda Davis meets a stranger at the bookstore who is hard to figure out. The feminine Tony (or is it Toni?) begins to pop up everywhere, and he seems pretty nice - except that he's got some kinky secrets of his own. Hey, everybody has secrets, right?
