note: This book is quite 'strongly flavoured' and features uninhibited, but
straightforward steamy sexual scenes between consenting adults and true-to-life
street language that would occur in high-stress situations.
EXCERPT:
from Chapter 1 – A gorgeous stranger in a cab..
The cab pushed and swished on towards Buckingham Palace. She
saw him studying the famous landmark, as if he were checking out the
architecture. In profile his face looked even more male - handsome yet warm -
the scar above his right eye constantly attracting her gaze. He was a brute of
some kind but he could lie even with his eyes. Once again she found herself
responding to him and wanting to touch that scar. In this new world of a few
out of reality moments with a gorgeous stranger she could let go, becoming
aware of the pulse of life in her breasts and a sense of warmth and longing
deep in her stomach. She bit her lip as she consciously allowed these feelings
to sweep over her. She took in his striped linen jacket, dark trousers and hand
stitched leather shoes. His crisp white shirt accentuated the tanned olive tone
of his skin. His shoulders were broad with hard muscular upper arms while his
beautifully cut clothes proclaimed the body of an athlete or sportsman.
“So, you know what I do. Do you work in London?” she asked
wondering if he would tell her the truth - since she had not!
“Oh not at all - I am here to sign some papers that’s all.”
“Papers?” she questioned too quickly, aware she could be
exposing her cover.
“Just a contract - you know, boring business stuff.”
He looked at her with a caress in his brown eyes. The cab
was at Hyde Park Corner, just a short way from the Hilton. Her heart hammered.
Soon he would step out into the night and never see her again. It had to be
that way. You could dream but your story was your story. Better just accept and
live it out any way you could.
