Timothy Schneider

The Courtesan Timothy Schneider

Minus the golden retriever, Jeffrey and Denise Stanton should have the picture-perfect life. They have prosperous careers, a nice house, and a wonderful four-year-old, Cassie. However, his wife's professional success, and the time and travel it demands of her, leaves Jeffrey feeling left behind and forgotten. He seeks the solace of a young courtesan, Liandra, to fill the personal gap in his life. Governed by strict house rules, Liandra's professional duty requires her to listen and pamper, but to never become too involved physically or emotionally with the clients. Yet as she and Jeffrey spend more and more time together, this decree becomes harder and harder to follow. Their lives are flipped upside down when the courtesan and the client cross the forbidden line and the affair becomes complicated as it loses its professional detachment. The strengths of family love, marriage, and passionate infatuation are all stacked against the consequences of deciding what the heart truly wants.
