Erotica and Edgar Alan Poe by Maureen Wilkinson

A dusty old library holds more that the classics Shelia searches. She likes poetry, but so does the stranger near by… (Mainstream)

Editor’s Note: A lovely mix of Poe the poet and a secretly burning flame. Thank you, Maureen Wilkinson, for this lovely touch of passion where none would be thought to be found. —womblin
