Jailbait: an erotic romance novella
It was something she hadn’t felt in a long time, something she told herself she didn’t need, but, man, she’d forgotten how good it can feel.
The only time Em Beaufort wants to revisit her ex-boyfriend is Tuesdays at three, from the relative discomfort of her therapist’s armchair. After four years, that safe space and a successful Zoloft regimen is all she needs.
What she doesn’t need is a letter from that ex-boyfriend, but it’s hard to resist the allure of visiting him in prison. Instead of the catharsis she expects, Em gets a tidal wave of old dramas, but — silver linings, however surprising — a whole new lease on her love life, too.
Can’t say he’s ever been much for love at first sight, but he’s willing to reconsider.
Turns out, getting on the wrong side of old money’s a fast track to a prison stint. Go figure. But his sister’s lousy boyfriend earned every inch of that beating, and Ryder’s happy to do the jail time for it.
And he’s more than happy to pick up another inmate’s ex-girl while he’s at it. An unexpected perk, but one look at Em’s got Ryder thinking, hey, ought to be somebody who’s treating her right.
She wants a lot, and he wants to give that to her. All they gotta do is wait for it.
As they find their footing in this unorthodox relationship, Em and Ryder learn that shouldering your past isn’t such an unshakeable burden. You just have to find someone who’s willing to help you carry it.

I will admit that the title had me a little worried, but rest assured everyone involved is very much of legal consenting age, and while there is an age gap it isn’t uncomfortable in terms of consent or balances of power. This book was charming and well written. The erotica wasn’t overwrought or cringey and there was an excellent Satisfyer plug. We love to see it.
Impressively thoughtful for such a short story, this was absolutely worth a read and will likely be read again.
