A Free Spicy Short to Start the New Years

Happy 2026!

Seriously, where did 2025 go?!

It’s so easy to have our days filled with obligations. And before you know it, life quickly passes us by with the same, dredging tasks. It’s too easy to have your days fill up with responsibilities, then winding your day down with doom scrolling (I’m certainly guilty of that myself).

My goal this year is to provide quality, fun (*ahem*, and spicy) reads to break up life’s monotony and to provide joy in a bleak world. So how does a free, spicy short sound?

Cover of a free short story by Odette Hall

That’s right! The Lonely Peppers Book Club is a short, spicy story about two women finding each other at a spicy book club!

With what little free time Natasha Gost has as a paralegal, she devours the spiciest books she can get her hands on. Thankfully, her monthly escape—The Lonely Pepper’s Book Club—keeps her well-stocked with panty-dropping stories and a rotating selection of guilty pleasures.

But lately, her attention hasn’t just been on the pages.

Emily, the newest member of the group, has a way of looking at her that lingers. And when the club picks a book sizzling with F/F tension, the discussion around the table leaves Natasha squirming… in more ways than one.

All it takes is a teasing glance. A locked bathroom door. And a curiosity burning to change into something much more intimate.

So how does one procure The Lonely Peppers Book Club? By simply signing up for the newsletter! By signing up, you’ll receive a link to download the book so that you may read at your leisure.

You’ll also receive updates, news, and fun, free bonus content as well, including more free stories! You’ll also have access to the Odette Hall Spice Cabinet, which contains all previously released bonus content.

I hope the start of your new years has been a stellar one! And I hope you return for the next story release coming very soon.

With Love,

Odette
