Her Desire: The Artist by J. B. Rose

Eileen
I grew up under the big top and I know the performances don’t end when the towners leave. Like Antonio, we’ve been friends for years but he’s always on the make. But when he leans over my sewing table and tells me he’s in love with me, I confess I felt a little weak in the knees.

Celina
I love El. He’s everything I desire. But before I confess my feelings he rejects me. He tells me to find someone my own age as if my feelings are so shallow, so inconsequential, they can simply be lifted off him and laid on another man; any man as long as he’s my age according to El! Love’s not that easy.
He’s blonde, strong, kind, and very exciting. I feel magic between us immediately. Can I trust myself? Could I share real magic with Nick or is it just a trick?
