The Gift

Charlene Raleigh knows where she is going in life. She knows she won't get there without jettisoning a lot of useless baggage. Things like pleasure, joy and sex are things she's leaving out of her life until she succeeds in reaching her goal. Then she meets Tom Jackson. Although Charlene tries very hard to deny it, her emotions flare when he's around. For once, she has no control. And to her surprise, she enjoys this very much. Step by step, Tom leads her, guides her, draws out of her all the feelings and drives Charlene thought were of no use to her. When Charlene is ready, Tom gives her a gift. The gift of herself.
