This episode of Indie Author Weekly features a reading from Sagan's upcoming release, "Out of Control" (Book 6 in the Polyamorous Passions series).
Polyamorous Passions will include 9 books in total. Basically, there are three “trilogies” within the entire series, and each trilogy follows a different main character, all of whom are best friends: Emma is the main character in Books 1 - 3, Helen is the main event in Books 4 - 6, and Scarlett will be featured in Books 7 - 9.
Each of the books in Polyamorous Passions can be enjoyed as stand-alones, but you’ll get much more out of it if you read all of the stories in the series, since the characters show up again and again across the books and the storylines continue from one to the next. In this book, Book 6, you also get a glimpse of what’s going to happen for Scarlett’s story—so for those of you who are fans of Scarlett, you’re really going to like that.
Some background on Helen's story: Book 4 shares the story of how Helen is planning her wedding with her fiance, Ben… but when she finds herself falling for their wedding photographer, she starts to wonder if maybe monogamy isn’t something she wants for her life, after all. Book 5 features the wedding and honeymoon between Helen and Ben, and their experience in trying out a non-monogamous lifestyle for the first time.
Book 6, Out of Control, which will be released on December 10, is all about what happens next. As Helen’s career takes off and as she and Ben begin practicing an ethically non-monogamous lifestyle, we get to see some of the pitfalls that they run into, and whether Helen can can handle it when she lets someone else take control of a situation for a while.
As with the other books in the Polyamorous Passions series, Out of Control is a contemporary new adult romantic comedy. It includes plenty of sexual tension in the workplace, a cute homage to When Harry Met Sally, and a pretty funny conversation on the proper etiquette of sexting.

With that background on the book out of the way, let’s get into the excerpt. The excerpt today is from Chapter 4. Helen is at the workplace after hours with her boss, Jack, as they prepare for her new job. Unbeknownst to Jack, Helen is secretly sexting with her boyfriend, Grant, in between working. What could possibly go wrong?
