And thank you for joining us yet again. It is the Nightly Pleasures podcast, episode number 29.

And before we get into it, it is going to be a little bit of housekeeping. So this is going to be an abbreviated episode.

You can probably tell from the runtime. There will not be questions at the end. And next week on July

7th, that could also be an abbreviated episode as well. Knock on wood that it's not. Now, what that

means is that the 14th of July is going to be a big supersized episode. I apologize for the switching around of everything. It is a dog and

pony show over here, and sometimes it's just me the dog. So I apologize that it's not as normal

and as steady as I would like it, but we are going to get back to things. It's simply

a bunch of different little snafus popping up all at once, and then me, of course, fleeing

to Europe as soon as possible. So, again, thank you very much for your patience. There

will be an episode on the 7th and 14th of July.

There will not be an episode on the 21st.

Again, it may be an abbreviated episode next week as well,

but then you know I'll make it up to you on the 14th, baby.

I always, always do.

All right, I think that takes care of housekeeping. Big show today, even if it is a little bit of a tiny show.

It'll make up for it with the punch that you're about to hear. An upcoming piece, a sneak preview from Pepper Winters.

That's right, that Pepper Winters, new series, the Dollar Series,

and let's get into a preview of that right now,

with book number one of the Dollar Series,

a world exclusive right here.

I was many things, but an abuser, rapist, and fucking bastard was not one of them.

Yes, I'd entered Ulrich's house ready to take what belonged to him and use her for my pleasure.
