Content Advisory:
S – ENSUOUS
E – ROTIC
X – TREME
Ellora’s Cave Publishing offers three levels of Romantica™ reading entertainment: S (S-ensuous), E (E-
rotic), and X (X-treme).
The following material contains graphic sexual content meant for mature readers. This story has been
rated E–rotic.
S- ensuous love scenes are explicit and leave nothing to the imagination.
E- rotic love scenes are explicit, leave nothing to the imagination, and are high in volume per the overall
word count. E-rated titles might contain material that some readers find objectionable—in other words,
almost anything goes, sexually. E-rated titles are the most graphic titles we carry in terms of both sexual
language and descriptiveness in these works of literature.
X- treme titles differ from E-rated titles only in plot premise and storyline execution. Stories designated
with the letter X tend to contain difficult or controversial subject matter not for the faint of heart.

Anastasia’s Style
Chapter One
“I hate Valentine’s Day,” Anastasia Style muttered as she contemplated the wisdom
of kicking the flat tire she was glaring at. If she hadn’t been wearing her very expensive,
incredibly sexy red high-heeled Manolo Blahniks, she might have attempted it.
Sighing with frustration, she reached into the stylish leather handbag she’d just
retrieved from her vehicle, rummaging around until she found her cell phone. Dialing
her office, she glared at the offensive piece of rubber. Of all the days to get a flat.
“Hi, Maryann.” She spoke calmly even though a part of her wanted to scream. Her
normally composed assistant sounded flustered on the other end. Not good. But not
surprising. Valentine’s Day was shaping up to be her second busiest time of the year.
Only Christmas had been more frantic. As the owner and manger of Hassle-free
Holidays, her holidays were anything but hassle-free.
“I’ve got a slight problem.” She explained her situation to Maryann and paused
while the other woman commiserated. “Call Manny’s Garage for me, will you?” Her
family had been using Manny’s for as long as she’d been alive. “Tell him to take it back
to the garage and I’ll pick it up later. I can’t afford to wait, so I’m going to call a cab.”
She stared into the backseat of her normally reliable six-year-old Honda Civic and
eyed the expensive bottle of Dom Perignon, the huge box of Godiva Chocolates and the
extravagant arrangement of colorful carnations. The carnations didn’t quite fit with the
other two items, but that wasn’t her concern. Whatever the client wanted, the client got.
That was the mantra for her business.
