**2022**

Pauletta is a new PhD in History with a brilliant mind and academic scars she’s struggling to hide. In the summer after her tense graduation, she has a prestigious postdoctoral fellowship meant to prepare her to find a tenure track job she’s not even sure she wants. Instead of stacking her CV, Pauletta only wants to immerse in the history of her people.

**1930s New York**

Paule Campbell was born with Jazz in her veins. Her love of music took her from a rural town in Georgia all the way to New York in the throes of the Harlem Renaissance, a place where she could finally be herself — a fat, masculine, lesbian trumpet player with big dreams and a bigger heart. Soon after her arrival, she makes the intimate acquaintance of Amy Delphine, another Southern transplant pinning her dreams on art to escape the realities of Jim Crow.

--
During an all too short summer in the archives, Pauletta traces Paule and Amy’s tender love story through Paule’s letters home and Amy’s poetry and journals, unwittingly finding the courage to accept her own pain without being defined by it and open her heart to a life and love she was too afraid to hope could be hers.

After she finished her PhD, Laura moved to Arizona for a postdoctoral fellowship, happy to finally be restarting her life. In a tight housing market, she rents a room in Duncan's house. He was older and accomplished, she was soft and still broken from her past. She squirmed under his gaze and he loved it.

In the privacy of Duncan's beautiful home, the two begin an intense sexual exploration of give and take, love and care.

Ground Rules is the third book in the Erotic Accommodations series, where desire rests at your doorstep or closer.

This is a standalone story, but reading Room for Three? couldn't hurt!
