NaNoWriMo Treat: "In On The Action" by Elle Diaz, Chapter One

Hi Smooches! Today we’re doing something a little different. In honor of NaNoWriMo, I’m going to read the first chapter of my work in progress. This is from my draft of In On the Action, which is Book 2 in the Seducing Steel City series. If I were better at marketing or planning, I’d have preorder links for you, maybe a Goodreads page where you could add the title, but I’m just kind of winging this. I’m also winging narration, as I have no training in this. So enjoy this subject-to-change exclusive first listen of In On The Action by Elle Diaz, a sapphic age gap romance with tons of pining, baked goods, and getting hot and sweaty with your crush in more ways than one.
