Sex? Absolutely.

Love? Not my thing.

I didn't do love or butterflies, but I loved him.

I was screwed, and not in a good way.

Selah Elmore is a smart, independent woman who knows exactly who she is and what she wants. She loves her life being a professor and popular pirate erotica author. However, when she leaves the Pacific Northwest to spend six months studying sculpture in West Africa, she learns she doesn't know a thing about love.

Cocky, suit-wearing Gerhard charms her during a stopover in Amsterdam, but dashing, adventurous Kai sweeps her off her feet in Ghana.

Sparks fly on three continents when perpetually single Selah discovers there's more to love and life than she ever imagined.

Professor Selah Elmore is a modern woman.  She doesn’t see the need to tie herself down with a husband and children.  After all, she has a job that she loves and it allows her to indulge her wanderlust.  She is happily self-contained and has no plans to change that. 

On a brief trip to Amsterdam, she encounters perhaps the one man that could change the rules of her very well formulated game – international businessman, Gerhard Hendriks.
“Was it the accent?” He mimicked me. His eyes sparkled like sun on dark water. “That and the package.” He coughed. I tried not to look at his crotch after my word slip, but failed. I couldn’t see anything. Bastard suit jacket. “I meant your height and overall Dutchness.” He bit his bottom lip and nodded for me to continue. “You look Dutch. Tall, fair, blue eyes. Put on some wooden shoes and a pointy hat, put your finger in a dyke, and you’d be straight out of a children’s book.”  
There is more to Gerhard than meets the eye – he’s beautiful, works a suit unlike anyone she has ever known and is wickedly smart.  The more she gets to know about him, the more she feel like something is missing – but she still can’t help but fall head over heels in love. 

When Selah uncovers who he really is – will she return home without looking back or will he become the exception to her every rule?
"Falling in love was the last thing I expected to happen. Kai was the last person I expected to fall for. But I had. Somewhere and sometime over the past weeks, I’d fallen. Hard. Those butterflies schoolgirls had in their stomachs took up residence in mine. It was silly. I didn’t do love. Or butterflies. Kai kissed my hand. His touch anchored me in the moment. The here of a hazy pink sky and black silhouetted trees. The now of him. I loved him. I was screwed. And not in a good way."
To say that I loved Missionary Position is a bit of an understatement!  One of the reasons is that I truly connected with Selah.  Her constant struggle with the pressures that society puts on women and her rebellion against those norms is something that I think every woman deals with in some fashion. Seeing her evolution in the story and her coming to terms with falling in love was an example of pure artistry from Daisy. 

I wanted to live in this book!  The characters, the people and the exotic places completely captivated me - and they totally won my heart...
“We’re not promised long lives, or even tomorrows, so we must love the lives we have now.”

About The Author - 

Picture
Before writing bestselling contemporary adult romances, I dreamed of being an author while doing a lot of other things. Antiques dealer, baker, blue ribbon pie-maker, fangirl, freelance writer, gardener, pet mom and wife are a few of the other titles I've acquired over the years.

Born and raised in San Diego, I currently lives in a real life Stars Hollow in the Boston suburbs with my husband, our dog Hubbell, and an imaginary house goat.

Missionary Position is a spin-off from my first novel, Geoducks Are for Lovers. Like my second novel, Ready to Fall, it can be read as a standalone contemporary romance/romantic comedy.
