worry about us, Eva. None of us have any women in our lives. Besides, we like to share.”
    They had only just started walking again, but Eva stumbled over Quin’s last statement. A muscular arm wrapped around her waist and pulled her against Quin’s warm body until she was steady. When they began walking again, he didn’t remove his arm. She inhaled his clean, masculine scent and then came back to what he had just said. When she looked up, she found Quin staring down at her intently.
    “What?”
    “I know you have only just arrived, but I figured I had better tell you from the start. There are a few unconventional marriages in town, and since we want the same kind of relationship, me and my brothers decided to move here.”
    Evana stopped in front of her motel door and stared at Quin. Wait. Am I misunderstanding something? What did he mean when he said he and his brothers like to share?
    “What do you mean by ‘unconventional’?”
    “Ménage relationships are becoming more prevalent throughout the world or so I hear. Slick Rock has seven such unions living here. We are a very close-knit community and all look out for each other, especially the women. Females are the core to any relationship and since they are weaker than males, we all make sure they are protected.
    “Gray, Pierson, and I decided we wanted such a relationship when were younger, and when we found out about the ménages in this town through some of our friends and realized we could actually live the way we wanted to, we decided this was the place for us.”
    “You want to share a woman, one woman between the three of you?” Eva’s heart was racing with excitement, but she quickly tamped it down. She had only just met the Badons, but she liked them, a lot. Eva was drawn to them. The attraction was physical, yes, but there was more to it than that. It was way too early for her to even figure out why she felt the way she did.
    She told herself to slow down. Just because they have offered you a room in their house doesn’t mean they want you, Eva. Look at you. Why would any man want a woman with deformities when he could have a healthy female?
    “That’s the plan. We just haven’t met the right woman yet .”
    Eva felt a slight pain in her chest. See? You aren’t even in the running, you stupid girl. You should know by now that men aren’t interested in you.
    Eva pulled her room key from her pocket and turned away to open her door.
    “Isn’t that illegal?” she asked. “Having more than one husband, I mean.”
    Quin’s voice was close behind and then the door closed with a slight click. “She can’t marry all her men, if that’s what you mean. Around here, the oldest brother marries their woman on paper. That doesn’t mean she loves the others any less. As far as the lady and her men are concerned, she is married to all of her spouses in her heart, and vice versa. I have never seen happier people. The men dote on their wives, and the women love all their husbands equally.”
    “Don’t the men get jealous of each other?” Eva went to lift her bag from the bed, where she had left it earlier, but Quin came up behind her and took it for her.
    “Is this everything, honey?”
    “Yes. Oh, wait. I have some groceries.” Eva packed up the few things she’d bought at the market earlier in the day. “Okay, I’m done. I haven’t unpacked anything else.” She gazed into his eyes, wondering if he was going to answer her question.
    He was so close that she could feel heat emanating from his body. She inhaled his scent again, this time picking up a trace of oil underlying his natural fragrance and light cologne. She liked it. It made her think of how masculine he was working with his hands, and the fresh aroma of pine and light tang of sweat drew her without overpowering his natural fragrance like some colognes could.
    “The answer is no.” Quin cupped her cheek. “I know a few of the men involved in such relationships and have talked to
