Midnight Butterfly

About this book

In this novel of sophisticated erotic adventure, an unexpected stroke of luck on the lottery enables the modest, thirtyish Ellen Howard to pursue her long-deferred dream of studying art in New York. She soon discovers, though, that her sheltered life in a small, quiet upstate town has prepared her neither for the seductive charms of Manhattan nor for the advances of her art instructor. At a loss, the sexually naive Ellen despairs over her inexperience and fears. Luck, however, has not deserted Ellen. Rather, it introduces her to the charming ghost of a flamboyant, warm-hearted professional escort name Maggie Sullivan, whose wide experience and sexual wisdom make her the perfect mentor for Ellen's education in the arts of sensuality. A new Ellen emerges from the cocoon of her inhibitions, and in New York's glamorous sexual underworld she soars to intoxicating heights. -- from back cover.
