Why I would love to hire Madame Eve


Buy Taking Control HERE

by Virginia Nelson
 
The 1Night Stand service is brilliant.  They manage to find you the love you never realized you looked for within the parameters of a fantasy.  You ask for a knight in shining armor but with a heart of gold, Madame Eve delivers. You ask for a hunky Marine who lives a life devoted to duty and respect.  You get it.  You ask for your wildest dreams and somehow, magically, Madame Eve not only delivers, she manages to make your dreams into a reality better than you could have imagined.

Although I would love to hire someone like this, you have to be a little afraid of the idea, too.  What if your perfect match isn’t what you thought you wanted but rather what you need?

The constant conflict between what we think we want and what we actually need drives us to heights we never thought possible but it does so within the confines of our own choices.  In the case of Madame Eve, you’re giving that power over to someone else.  What if what you need is more than you bargained for? Well, too late.  That love is standing there, staring you in the face and waiting for you to catch up.

Me?  I’m a commitment-a-phobe in real life. The idea of Madame Eve, tempting though it might be, still seems really scary. The desire for the perfect partner, for me, is always followed by the desire to be independent. Could I give up the independence if love came knocking?

I’m not sure.  But I would love to test those boundaries.   Just to see if I could accept what I wanted if I found it.

In my recent 1Night Stand, Taking Control, I explore exactly that idea.  What if what you need isn’t what you thought you wanted?

After being voted off Find Your Hubby, a reality TV show, Mellie gave up on finding love. Instead, she spends her final check on a spur of the moment fling, paying for a matchmaking service that offers the perfect person-For One Night Only.

Can you buy passion?

When the ‘perfect person’ turns out to be a woman, Mellie first questions Madame Eve’s choice...then her own desires.

Reality TV and the 1Night Stand



by Virginia Nelson

The strangest things can inspire stories.  Sitting with my teenage daughter and her best friend, a reality TV show blasted across the TV as I tried to work.  Glancing up, I saw a beautiful girl being escorted off the show after the one single man who she tried to snare cast her aside like a loaf of stale bread.
Blinking at the screen, I immediately wondered what that would do to a person.  To be dumped is hard enough but to be dumped on television?  And then on top of that, how hard would it be to live in a position like the one she was leaving?  A whole herd of beautiful women, searching for love, trapped together like a bunch of bloodthirsty vipers…
And I came up with Mellie, country girl by birth, swept off to a tropical paradise searching for love only to be rejected.  Attacked by the press for moments out of a long period of time that the producers snipped together to create a false image of her but paid well for the utter destruction of her social life, she paid for the exclusive services of Madame Eve in an attempt to find passion…if only for a night.
When Madame Eve pairs her up with another woman, she first questions the 1NS dating service.
Then she questions her own desires.
Curious what happens to Mellie?  Check out my newly released 1Night Stand, Taking Control.

 In all the wrong places...
Everyone knows that you are more likely to get hit by lightning than find a husband once you’re 40. Using the last of her winnings in a spur of the moment fling, she pays for a matchmaking service that offers you the perfect person-For One Night Only.

When the 'perfect person' they find her is a woman, she first questions their selection service...Then her own desires.
