Overview

The Secret Love of Bea is a 5k-word short story following on from The Invention of Wings: Mulligan's Mill Book One. It contains bawdy banter, fluffy pink handcuffs and more secrets than can fit in a drag queen's closet!

In Aunt Bea’s private boudoir above the Barnyard Bar, there’s more than sequins and sparkles awaiting Bea’s secret lover. For when he arrives, Bea’s gentleman caller knows exactly what he’s in for:

A ball gag and fluffy pink handcuffs;

His favorite spreader bar already adjusted to fit his ankles;

And the queen he adores, with a surprise she can’t disguise.

But while Bea herself might be well and truly out of the closet, there are some skeletons she doesn’t want anyone to know about…

Like where she’s really from…

And why she left…

And the real reason she ended up in Mulligan’s Mill in the first place.

Like Grammy always used to say, ‘Secrets are a lot like shadows. They have a nasty habit of following you, no matter where you go.’
