144) Switch -Megan Hart

Don't think. Don't question. Just do. The anonymous note wasn't for me. Don't get me wrong, I'm not in the habit of reading other people's mail, but it was just a piece of paper with a few lines scrawled on it, clearly meant for the apartment upstairs. It looked so innocent, but decidedly—deliciously—it was not. Before replacing the note—and the ones that followed—in its rightful slot, I devoured its contents: suggestions, instructions, commands. Each was more daring, more intricate and more arousing than the last... and I followed them all to the letter. Before the notes, if a man had told me what to do, I'd have told him where to go. But submission is an art, and there's something oddly freeing about doing someone's bidding...especially when it feels so very, very good.

Okay, silly question: does it have to be a book actually published by either M&B or Harlequin, or can it be published by another mass market romance publishing house, like Avon?

[aralias]

not a silly question at all. just indicates my ignorance of the genre.

yes, that would be fine - you might want to list the fact you're using avon rather than M&B in your summary. then again, i doubt anyone will mind that much or notice if it's in a similar vein.

[lamardeuse]

Cool, thanks! I found a great plot summary from an old Avon book and wanted to give it a go - it's still in the same Harlequin-type mould, so I thought it was still in the spirit of the challenge. :) Though I also found a M&B summary that will fit for a different fandom. SO MANY POSSIBILITIES. :)

[jujukittychick]

this is such an awesome idea! i love it. can't help but giggle over the recurring "mistress" theme too lol
