    About this ebook

    Karen’s corporate life has quickly merged with her sex life, and any fantasies she could have possibly had is now finding ways to fulfill themselves.

    After a life-changing four days of new sexy clothing and intimate encounters with her client, her secretary, and her business competitor and best friend, Karen’s true trials are still ahead of her. She has another date with a man whose prowess between the sheets is more daunting than she can handle. She has a powerful businesswoman who wants to help her and keep Karen for herself. And she has a secretary who may not approve at all of the new love that Karen has found in her best friend, Tammy.

    Karen’s life as she knew it less than a week ago is over. Now, she must pick up the pieces of her old self and try to build a new identity out of the new revelations that she is learning about herself. The line between lust and love blurs in the climactic finale of the Off the Treadmill trilogy, slating Karen in the final decisive moments that will determine her future.

    She’s been running in place long enough. But where can she run now that everyone wants something from her? Follow Karen out of bondage and into a new life.

    Author

    D.C. Chagnon

    D.C. Chagnon was born in a quiet little town in Tennessee, and this was also the place where her love for the romantic and exciting was born. The author remembers days spent running on hillsides and swimming in brooks, and endless hours spent reading books that were her escape from the mundane. It was on a fateful summer day when the teenager wrote her first romantic short story as a submission for a local paper’s contest. Signed under a pseudonym, her story that told of summer and the sun, of a friendship gone beyond its limits, and heart-aching tragedy, garnered praise and the first prize for the young story-teller. She was eighteen, and on that day, she decided that she wanted to write for the rest of her life. The author is happily enjoying the married life with her husband of five years and their two young children. She is an avid traveler and has sought every opportunity to tour places halfway across the globe. While at home, the author makes it a full-time commitment to be a mom, but also spends a lot of her time coming up with new story material. She is often heard saying how difficult it is to balance being a wholesome house mom while writing erotic fiction on the side. While she outwardly claims her inspirations to be the likes of renowned novelists Lisa Kleypas and Anne Rice, she does admit to being a fan of the more current works such as those of the Fifty Shades of Grey author and the Twilight series. On her off times, she can also be seen reading the more wholesome works by Terry Pratchett and Douglas Adams.

      Chapter One

      Tuesday morning I worked the machine weights at the gym unusually hard. I pumped my ass muscles on the stair-master machine like I was mad at them, and then without even pausing to look at the treadmill I took off for a run around the marina and back. Being free of the treadmill was becoming a new metaphor for my life. I was still working my ass off, but I wasn't stagnate any more, nor heading for a wall. I was moving through space and time, giving the city I lived in a good-morning kiss. I enjoyed running down by the water. I even liked seeing Brian's yacht tied to his dock. I gave it a wave as I passed, wondering if he could see me inside his stateroom behind the mirrored glass sliding-glass door. When I got back to the gym I did another full circuit of the machine weights.

      You should start in on the free weights, a man told me as I got off the curling machine.

      I looked him over. He was cut and trim with defined abs and sexy shoulders. He was also only eighteen or so. Cute though, very cute. Yeah, why is that?

      Brings out your definition, cuts up your muscles, and I would love to spot you on them, he told me with a grin

      I smiled; he was trying to pick me up. I was at least ten years older than him, there were young hard bodies all over the place, and here he was trying to pick me up. I had to admit to myself that I was flattered and, with the way he looked, a little interested. I already had one young hard-body in my life though, and she was waiting for me at the office. I'll give it some thought. I'm not sure I want to be more defined than I already am.

      He shrugged. "You already have great form. A couple of weeks on
