Starhub Speakeasy: A Spicy Short Story

M.D. Engel

Marin never met her brother's best friend, and yet somehow, in the middle of a dark, crowded speakeasy, she ends up sitting on his lap. The accidental encounter leaves them both undeniably turned on. Zarek knows he’s not supposed to be into her, his best friend said no—he doesn’t listen. Her brother said he’s off limits—she doesn’t care. What starts as a sizzling moment quickly sparks a forbidden romance neither can ignore.

About the Author

M.D. Engel

M.D. Engel writes sci-fi romance across the heat spectrum. From cozy to spicy; from closed door to open door; and from human to interspecies love. Their stories lean into conversational tones, familiar tropes, and flawed but lovable characters, because not every book needs to be deep to be enjoyable.

By day, they work at a fast-paced start-up; by night, they recharge through reading, gaming, fitness, and writing. M.D.’s stories blend heart, humor, and just the right amount of heat. At the end of the day, they write for one simple reason: fun.
