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 S-ensuous.
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.

Prologue
“Are you sure you don’t want to come with me? Nothing like a little breaking and
entering to spice up a Friday night.”
Cali’s tone was friendly and teasing, but she wasn’t as casual as she sounded. She
really wanted her best friend, Jason, to come with her on this particular venture.
She was planning to break into the main offices of the Landon Industries plant
because she needed verification of some information she’d discovered for a story she
was writing for the Blacksburg Leader and she couldn’t think of another way to affirm
her suspicions. She could easily do it herself, but it would be nice to have some
company tonight.
Cali Ross was eighteen years old—she had just finished her senior year in high
school—but she was already writing freelance for the local newspaper and she knew
she was better at it than most of the real writers they had on staff. She’d outgrown her
high-school newspaper last year and her ambition and initiative had been put to good
use last summer in her internship at the Blacksburg Leader. Since then, the paper had
accepted several different stories she’d written and would continue to do so, provided
she had genuine news that the staff reporters hadn’t discovered themselves.
The story she was working on now could be really big, since the Landon Industries
plant was the largest employer in town. All Cali needed to do now was verify that what
she’d found out from another source was actually correct.
Thus the midnight trip to the plant, to break into the main offices. Cali had always
been resourceful and creative, so she wasn’t concerned about getting into the building.
But she would have liked to have Jason tag along—she didn’t see him as much, now
that he’d found himself a girlfriend.
Cali wouldn’t have minded being his girlfriend, but he’d never been interested in
her that way.
“You know I’m always up for an adventure,” Jason said from his end of the call.
“But I don’t know about breaking into the plant. Kent is my friend and I’d feel kind of
guilty about it.”
Cali rolled her eyes. Kent Landon was the son of Philip Landon, the billionaire who
was the founder, owner and CEO of Landon Industries. Kent had been in Blacksburg
for a year now, having moved there from Chicago, where the corporate headquarters of
Landon Industries was located, to help his father with the supervision of the Blacksburg
plant.
