By Cynthia Sax on June 25, 2013

I’m at Diana Hunter’s online home today, talking about reader expectations.

I’ve given this free workshop for my local RWA chapter and am thrilled to be given this opportunity to share my crazy thoughts with more writers. IMHO… you MUST know what your reader expects when she or he picks up a story in your genre. You don’t have to give her/him what she/he expects but you should know what the expectations are.

He Watches Me From Cynthia Sax

He Watches Me From Cynthia Sax

She desires to be seen. He wants to watch.

Anna Sampson has a naughty secret. Every night, she slips into her neighbor’s yard and swims naked in his pool. She fantasizes that the dynamic young billionaire watches her nightly nude aquatics, his brilliant green eyes gleaming with lust.

She discovers this isn’t pure fantasy. Gabriel Blaine has been watching her via his security cameras, and now that he has returned to L.A., he doesn’t plan to stop. That’s all he wants—to watch. Anna knows she shouldn’t allow him and she certainly shouldn’t want more, but she craves Blaine’s attention, needing his gaze fixed on her body.

A billionaire’s desires and a virgin’s wish to be claimed come together.

Now secrets from the past are exposed, threatening Anna’s freedom and safety. Will the man she loves stand by her side, or will he desert her, leaving Anna once again to face the future alone?

The searing climax of The Seen Trilogy.
