Picking up the story six months after the conclusion of The Mansion, Vi and Emma are a happy couple (well, they're happy, but calling them a couple could be a stretch...) exploring the world of sensuality and pleasure. The Startup moves the story into the larger world beyond the walls of Brenda and Wendy's mansion, and introduces us to the curvy and seemingly strait-laced (and straight!) Kim, Vi's boss and friend from college. When Kim hears of Vi and Emma's peculiar hobbies, Vi discovers a side to her friend she's never seen before, with the most delightful results. But, when events shake up Vi, Emma, and Kim's lives outside of the bedroom, the three hatch a plan to turn their pleasures into profits, and forge a new path into self-discovery and confidence that the world will have a hard time ignoring. Big egos, big paydays, and big feelings all await you as Vi and Emma take on THE STARTUP.
