<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-size: large;">It was a hot, mid-summer day while visiting my maternal grandmother during school vacation. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">She lived in a trailer park with a lovely creek. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">My little sister, Teri, and I spent countless hours playing in or near the water. We’d slide down a large, flat rock into a waist deep pool, catch and release crawdads, and ‘fish’ with poles Grandma helped us make out of sticks, white string, and safety pin hooks baited with bits of marshmallow. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-size: large;">Although I was getting older, around twelve, I still enjoyed messing around by the creek with Teri. But that day my sister stayed home, sick. And Grandma, in her late sixties and suffering from arthritis and bad knees, was only up for a few hours of either Crazy Eights or Uno. I usually brought books to read when she needed to rest or watch her show. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I’d forgotten that day. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-size: large;">Grandma, bless her heart, said I could read one of her books. <i>Sigh. </i><br />
<i><br /></i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I read books like: Misty, Trixie Belden, Nancy Drew, and Island of the Blue Dolphins. </span><span style="font-size: large;">She read sweet romances, which didn’t interest me at all, and old westerns. I could watch Lawrence Welk with her or read a book by Zane Grey. </span><span style="font-size: large;">I plucked Riders of the Purple Sage off the shelf, hoping not to be too bored. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> And I fell in love. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I read through Grandma’s entire collection that summer. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Those old western novel cowboys were flawed men who may have done wrong in the past but had the quiet strength and conviction to do right by those they loved whatever the cost. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">My kind of heroes, then and now. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">All my cowboys are inspired by the men in those westerns. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

But Nate Rolfe knows his isolated homestead offers no life for a woman. Plus, he has more pressing matters on his mind than unwanted female attention, such as tracking the elusive band of cattle rustlers plaguing Fir Mountain, and the plight of his family’s determined new housekeeper, Hannah Brooks, who is like no woman he’s ever met before.</div>

Hannah will do anything to protect her illegitimate daughter, but with no family, no job and soon no home, the future looks bleak for a woman of her reputation. So now she has no choice but to turn to the family her outlaw lover warned her against contacting before he died. Only, Nate is nothing but kind to her and little Jemma.</div>

As she is drawn into Nate’s life – and tempted into his arms – Hannah must decide if she can trust him with both the truth of Jemma’s birth, and her own bruised and wary heart…</div>

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><i><b>Exerpt:</b></i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Nathaniel Rolfe quickened his stride, heading toward the Trail’s End Saloon on the edge of Silver Falls City, where he’d arranged to meet his friend, Matthew Marston. People littering the streets and plank sidewalks hindered him, slowing his pace. The sensation of someone staring at him prickled his skin just before a young woman planted herself in his path.<br /><br />“You’re him, aren’t you?” She matched his sidestep when he tried to dodge her. “You’re the-”<br /><br />“No,” Nate broke in, hoping to stop her loud, high-pitched voice from cutting through the ruckus of the crowd and drawing more unwanted attention to him. <br /><br />Her hands clapped together like an excited child. “Yes, you are.”<br /><br />Nate gritted his teeth. It was odd how women had been taking an undue interest in him lately. <i>And how did she notice me in this mess of people?</i> <br /><br />It didn’t make any sense. He wasn’t unusually handsome. His facial scar wasn’t that remarkable. He wore the same basic clothing as most of the men on the street, sturdy leather boots with signs of wear, blue jeans, an oil- cloth duster over a wool-lined coat and a brown hat that had seen better days. <br /><br />“I can’t believe I spotted you.” <br /><br /><i>Neither can I.</i> But he didn’t question her. Asking the others had been pointless. <br /><br /> All Nate knew was that someone had spread romanticized gossip about him in the last several months while he’d been helping Matt, the Sheriff of Silver Creek County, and his cousin, Ben, track rustlers. Only Heaven knew why. And how random women recognized him on sight remained a mystery. At times like this, he could swear someone must have drawn up a sketch of him, then passed it around the county, woman to woman, like some sort of wanted poster.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">In December 1944 a German family of seven were captured and convicted of </span><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: large;">war crimes for harbouring Jews. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> The woman and her sister were interned in Bergen-Belsen Concentration Camp until Liberation on 13 April 1945.</span></span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Hanover, Lower Saxony GERMANY 1939 </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">The house looked the same as every other dwelling in the street. Two story, attached, weathered stone. There were three bedrooms and a bathroom with indoor plumbing upstairs. An attic, where family treasures were hidden, could only be accessed through a removable panel in the ceiling of the main bedroom closet. Downstairs was a small but adequate dine in kitchen, a sitting room and a storeroom. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Inside the storeroom was a staircase which led down to a basement. The house sat opposite the banks of the Leine River. It was home to Inga Albine and her family. She had one older sister, two older brothers and one younger brother. They loved summer when they could swim and play in the water. Inga’s father, Adaulfo, was a well-known and successful Banker. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">An unusual occupation for an Aryan as most Bankers were Jewish. Inga’s mother, Alisz, was a talented seamstress but with her husband being more than capable of providing for the family, sewing was a hobby rather than a chore. Although sewing gave her a great deal of joy, her first love was her family. She adored being with her children. Being only children, both Alisz and Adaulfo had always dreamed of having a large family. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Their dream had come true. They had five healthy children, blonde haired, blue eyed. Perfect Aryans in Adolf Hitler’s eyes. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Klaus, 18, Manfred 17, Elke 15, Inga 13 and Oskar 8. The girls and Oskar attended private school while the two older boys studied Engineering. They all played the violin and with the exception of Oskar, they played very well. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Neighbours often praised Adaulfo and Alisz on how polite and well-mannered all five children were. The family were prominent in the local community. They never hesitated to help people who were less fortunate than themselves. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">She started muttering to herself, “Okay, this is too weird. I was just outside, and the sky was dark. Now I’m in somebody’s loft, where I can plainly see out that window,” she pointed a dizzy finger toward the floor-to-ceiling casement, “the sun isn’t even down; it is clearly twilight out there.” She was talking to herself out loud, to hear her own voice more than anything. She turned her body to figure out exactly where she was, and her chin ran smack into the denim-covered legs and steel-toed combat boots of the man who was responsible. And she screamed as loud as she could.</span></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Nias fell to his knees and put his hand over her mouth.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“Woman, you are obviously upset, and at this point I can understand that, but if you would stop with the screeching and remain calm, I can explain everything.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">That was good because she wanted some answers. “Where am I? How did I get here? Did I pass out? Did you give me drugs? Are you some kind of kidnapper? If you are, I will let you know now you definitely have the wrong girl. I haven’t a dime in the world, so you might as well just save yourself the trouble and let me go!” Her words came out rapid-fire, a battering tempest of chatter that she could see nearly overwhelmed him.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">In response to her questioning this large dark-haired man merely began to laugh out loud.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“I’m sorry, did I amuse you?” She squinted up at him.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“No, hellion, I just find your way of communication different, that’s all, and no I am not a kidnapper, I have not given you drugs, you did not pass out, and you are in California; San Francisco to be precise. As for the way you got here, I transcended us.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“You what?”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“I transcended us – a process Daemons use to move around.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“Daemons?” She looked up to take a real, solid look at this maniac…and ran smack into the eyes of the gorgeous man from the physical disturbance this morning in her bookstore. Criminy, I have been abducted by the hottest lunatic ever. Jade looked around her, trying to assess the likelihood that she could escape and outrun him. She saw an open window and on the opposite side of what seemed to be a living room, the front door. Door is further, but I probably won’t break a leg if I go for the door. Door it is. She shoved him away and was up and running!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Before she took three steps, he was in front of her, a giant wall of muscle. She turned on the tips of her replacement stilettos and bolted for the window. This time he gave her five steps. He was in front of her again. Mr. Tall, Dark, and Broody gently picked her up with one of his arms behind her back, swung her legs up and over his other arm and carried her to the divan, where he smoothly sat her down and smiled.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“Can I continue? Or would you like to take another turn about the room? If it’s exercise you’re looking for I can think of much better ways to expend your energy.” He folded his arms, as if daring her to make another run for it. His golden eyes flickered with unmistakable amusement.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“Oh, for crying out loud, fine. I will listen to what you have to say. Only because you outweigh me by at least a hundred pounds, are way quicker than I am, and clearly you are willing to use force to have your way.” She was waving her index finger in the air, much like Matt did when he got excited. “But stop grinning at me; I am a hostage, not a plaything.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“Pity.” His eyes did a swift head-to-toe assessment of her body. “I can assure you I wish this could be done any other way. Unfortunately the circumstances at hand have forced me into your life.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“That I can see,” she hissed.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“Jade, I’m afraid our time together has just begun,” he said, squinting his eyes a bit. “I, or rather my family and I, require your assistance, and your gifts. We know you have the ability to sense emotion; we also know you can, in various degrees, affect emotions around you. Also your ability to tell if beings are lying may come in handy as well.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“How in the world could you know that? Or my name? Who the hell are you?” If it were possible, this conversation was starting to freak her out even more than what had already happened.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“My name is Nias, and let’s just say I have it on the best authority.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“Well, then, Nias, do you know where this curse came from? Can you tell me?” She wasn’t sure why it had come out as a question and not a demand; maybe it was fear at finally having an answer. What she did know was even discussing its origin made her recall all the pain and sadness it had brought into her life. If there were a way to find out where it came from, possibly there would be a way to get rid of it. She would do almost anything to accomplish that.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“That, I cannot do. I am not at liberty to inform you of any more than you have to know in order to help us.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“Why am I even having this conversation, then? For all I know, you found out somehow, got Matt drunk, maybe, I don’t know.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Then it hit her. The strangest thing about this situation was she could tell he wasn’t lying. She always got a feeling when someone lied to her. Almost like a sharpness at the back of her neck and behind her eyes, like a fierce headache was coming on, and she wasn’t getting it from him. So there were only two possible conclusions; one, he believed what he was saying so strongly that it didn’t come out at her as a lie, which meant her half-sarcastic comment was correct and he was insane. Or two, he was being truthful. Surprisingly to her, it wasn’t the possibility of the former, complete insanity, worrying her the most; it was the possibility of the latter, that his story could reflect the truth, causing the bubble of nervousness and trepidation to rise up from her gut.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“Well, can you get rid of it? I want to get it out of me; it is awful, to tell you the truth. You are looking at this thing as a gift, but it isn’t. This thing has made me a freak. My own parents couldn’t handle it. Or I guess it was me who found it hard to tolerate their loathing of my oddity. It wasn’t just them; try making friends when you know their every feeling and lie. It crashes into my head, and did I mention it hurts? Can you, they, who, whatever, make it go away?”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">* * *</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Nias was not completely surprised to see the look of pain in her eyes, but it had an effect on him he did not expect. He had an overwhelming need to make that look, the causes of that look, go away, but he knew it was impossible. He needed the part of her causing that pain.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“No, I can’t. I was asked to find you, explain the situation, and obtain your help. And to be honest, I doubt they would be willing to take away something they find useful.” He couldn’t help but place his hand on her forearm, to touch her, to soothe her. And then, as quickly as he had placed it, and felt the warmth of her skin, her eyes flickered straight towards his own, and he yanked his hand away.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">He would not do this. This human would not affect him. He pulled himself together and got back to the business at hand.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“My brother has been kidnapped by some very bad individuals.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“I feel his pain, as I seem to be in the same situation.” He appreciated her sharp wit and snappy comeback, and smirked despite himself.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“Trust me, Jade, you are not in the same situation. I will not hurt you. If you try to run, I will bring you back. But I will not ever hurt you.” And he suddenly realized he meant every word of it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">* * *</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Again Jade could feel he wasn’t lying. He meant what he said, and strangely she didn’t feel like she was in any immediate danger.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“I need to get to him, and I need you to use the abilities you possess to help me do it. The place I have to take you is evil beyond your reasoning; it will be like nothing you have ever seen or imagined,” he continued to explain.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Jade shuddered at the sincerity and seriousness in his voice. “Where is this place and who are these people?”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“I cannot give you any more information right now, but we need to start with your training immediately, if I ever expect to see my brother alive again.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“Why in the world would I get involved with this? It sounds extremely dangerous, and I’m sorry to be harsh, but it just isn’t my problem.” Even as she spoke the words, she thought of the one and only thing that could possibly make her do something so crazy; to actually have a normal life, to be rid of this blasted curse. This man might not know where the curse came from, but even if there was an infinitesimal chance she could find its origin and maybe, just maybe, find out a way to make it stop, she wanted to try.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“Unfortunately, Jade, the moment you came into contact with me you started being watched and it became your problem. The Shaitan have eyes everywhere. They have, no doubt, seen you by now, so you are involved already. You’re just not safe without me or one of the Djinn beside you anymore.” Nias looked into her eyes and she thought she saw a tiny glimmer of regret. Then she experienced a flash of anger that he had put her in this position. If what he said was true, he had already endangered her life.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">All thoughts of agreeing to this madness had flown out of her mind. She clenched her teeth as she responded.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“I appreciate you want to retrieve your brother, but I don’t know anything about these … these Shaitan, or Djinn, or Daemons, or whatever they are called. I have a business to run, I have a life!” A sad and pathetic life; one where I cannot keep a relationship intact, prevent my head from erupting into spontaneous bursts of pain or even manage to stay out of dreamland long enough to cope with the madness. But right now she didn’t care, she needed some air to breathe not full of super-hot “I’m a Daemon” guy. She needed to get away and think, time to sort through this mess.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">She continued her tirade getting up and taking a step toward him. The tension in the room was palpable. “I am going to go, please do not stop me, do not contact me, do not drug me or drag me across the country anymore!”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">She paused for a time, looking at him, and when he made no move to stop her, she stormed past him and out the door. To her surprise, he let her go.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">As Jade walked out of the flat, she wondered what kind of fiendishness was truly involved in getting her there. She had been to San Francisco before, and as she looked around she realized quickly he was telling the truth on that count. Did he take her across the country, unconscious on a plane? Surely not a public one. How long was she out? She had not felt herself go under or come out of a blackout. What she did know was she needed to find a way home.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Luckily she was a credit-card-in-the-pocket, and not a purse kind of a girl, because she was going to need a cab ride and a plane ticket before that hot but vexatious man came looking for her. She was not sure why he had let her walk out, and right now she did not give two shits about the why’s, she just wanted as far away from here as she could get.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Unfortunately, as far away as she could get was two blocks, when something metal slammed into her stomach and then hit her over the head, and this time everything did go black.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Jade Shear is an ordinary girl with an extraordinary ability that’s literally about to send her to Hell. When Daemons discover Jade’s power to read and manipulate others true feelings, they force her to assist with the rescue of their sibling; thrusting her from her everyday normality deep into the Underworld with the tall, dark and deliciously demonic Nias Hu’dor assigned as her guide.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">All Nias wants is to live out his life without being involved with anyone else. No more emotion, no more connections, especially to pain in the ass humans. But when he sees Jade twisting a long curl of her wild red hair, and showing off the most amazing backside he’s ever been privy to; Nias just knew he was staring at a world of trouble.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Dale leaned back in his chair and stared at her. She looked calm and very collected. Her dark hair was swept up, leaving just a few tendrils curled softly against her face. His fingers itched to touch them, he remembered the silkiness.<br /><br />And then she swallowed. He bit the insides of his cheeks to prevent him from smiling. So, the lady wasn’t as cool as she pretended to be.<br /><br />“I tried to contact you after Don and Caitlin’s wedding but you never answered any of my messages.”<br /><br />She narrowed her eyes. “You know perfectly well why I ignored those messages,” she said primly.<br /><br />He leaned forward, enjoying her obvious discomfort. “You see, that’s just it. I don’t know. You kissed me, stormed away, and ignored all the messages I sent you.”<br /><br />Her lips trembled slightly. “You were the one who kissed me,” she said, her eyes stormy.<br /><br />“You didn’t kiss me back?” he asked, not quite understanding why he couldn’t stop baiting her.<br /><br />She inhaled audibly, bent her head for a few seconds before she opened the file. “We can go ahead with the contract. That is, if you still want me to.” <br /><br />“Oh, I still want you…” he said solemnly, waiting a millisecond before he added “…to.”<br /><br />Her flared nostrils were the only indication that she’d caught his meaning.<br /><br />“Good.” She got up. “I’ll ask Susan to contact you for the next meeting. Please make sure whoever you send has all the information available—budget, timeline and of course if…”<br /><br />He also got up slowly. “Seeing that my brother suggested we make use of your firm, I will be working with you. Directly.” He emphasized the last word. “I don’t mind doing favors, but when money is involved, I have to protect the investment we’ll be making. I have to make sure you are not just a pretty face but can actually do the job. You obviously don’t really want to work for me, but you’ve realized it’s good for business. Therefore, I have to make sure our business doesn’t suffer because of yours.”</span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Zoe Sutherland can't stand the pushy, arrogant architect David Cavallo. He was just too damn sure of himself, too handsome, too…everything. Maneuvered into working as the interior decorator on his latest project, a glamorous new hotel, Zoe can't keep her mind on the job. And worse, the strange man won't give her access to the hotel's floor plans. How is she supposed to finish the design when she doesn't have the plans? And when the obnoxious man distracts her with every smoldering look, every touch... <br /><br /><br />David has one goal: get rid of the pesky interior designer. Since he's been forced into close proximity with the beautiful Zoe, everything's gone downhill. And to make matters worse, she's only out to further her own career—and he's not about to give her the hotel's plans so she can steal his ideas. He needs to get her out of his system, and sleeping with her seems like the best way to do that. When it comes to women, he's found the best way to handle them is to love 'em and leave 'em. But something strange is happening...because after a night of loving Zoe, he's finding it harder than ever to leave…</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Elsa's bio:<br /><br />I have been reading love stories for as long as I can remember and when I ‘met’ the classic authors like Jane Austen, Elizabeth Gaskell, Henry James The Brontë sisters, etc. during my studies, I was hooked for life.<br /><br />I married my college boyfriend and soul mate and after 39 years, 3 beautiful children and 3 grandchildren, he still makes me weak in the knees. We are fortunate to live in the picturesque little seaside village of Betty's Bay, South Africa with the ocean a block away and a beautiful mountain right behind us. And although life so far has not always been an easy ride, it has always been an exiting and interesting one!<br /><br />I like the heroines in my stories to be beautiful, feisty, independent and headstrong. And the heroes must be strong but possess a generous amount of sensitivity. They are of course, also gorgeous! My stories typically incorporate the family background of the characters to better understand where they come from and who they are when we meet them in the story.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Dr Peter Florin is the sexy bad boy of St Steven’s hospital. Despite his love ‘em and leave ‘em attitude, every woman still wants him </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">–and nurse Jenny White is no exception. </span><br />
<br style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;" />
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Pete is haunted by a dark childhood and tragic loss. As she watches </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">him spiral down into despair, Jenny realises she might be </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">the only one who can drag him back. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Pete wiggled his foot. It wasn’t quite as swollen as before, but it still hurt to move. His throat was a little better, not half so painful now, but to his disgust, he still felt incredibly weak. One more night, he thought. Tomorrow he would get himself off home and face the music, alone.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Jenny returned after lunch and came straight up to see him. “How is the wounded warrior, then?” she asked. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“Bored,” he said.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“Obviously getting better, then. How about the ankle?”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“Hurting.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“Your throat?”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">He felt his neck and screwed up his face. “So-so.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“Am I going to get anything more than one-word answers today?” she asked and his body responded. He let his gaze travel down the length of her and then slowly back up. His forbidden fruit he had lusted after for so long. She was stronger now. Could he dare to try it? Maybe, if he could shut her up for long enough. He beckoned her in closer with his hand. And she sat down on the side of the bed. Should he be doing this? His brain wasn’t happy, so he turned it to mute. He took hold of her hand and started stroking the back with the pad of his thumb. She looked into his eyes, a world of uncertainty watching him. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“Thank you… for finding me,” he murmured and he let his fingertips play gently with the soft delicate skin of her forearm and hand. He could see fire in her eyes, as they widened before him. Her breathing quickened and her cheeks flushed. He hadn’t lost it. He leaned in, pulling her gently to him and-</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“I talked to Anna from occy health today,” she blurted out, pulling back out of his reach and standing up, away.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Damn! Disappointment and sudden relief swept over him. Then it dawned on him. Wait a minute. What had she said? Pete couldn’t believe it. Bloody meddling woman! “What did you go and do that for?” he snapped. “<i>I’ll</i> ring the hospital when I’m God-damn good and ready! I don’t need you apologising for me.” He tried to stand up, but his weakened response was not having the dominating effect he had reached for and he crumpled back down, swearing. He let out a loud huff of discontent. The tension eased, but he wasn’t happy. “Go on, then. What did you tell them?”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“I just asked if ‘hypothetically’ I had a person in my care who had been missing for a while from work, how I should go about helping them back? ‘Hypothetically’.” She was looking straight at him now, cautious, but daring him to disapprove.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">He sighed. “Just that?”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“No. We discussed things, but it was all ‘hypothetical’. I didn’t mention your name once.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Like she’d actually have to. Pete doubted there were many other people who worked at St Steven’s who had gone AWOL from work in the past few weeks. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">So the game was up. Half the hospital would know by morning. He rested back against the pillows. “So… What did they say?”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“You have to ring them, Pete. And you have to be back in work on Monday. It’s been more than two weeks. Any longer and you’ll be out on your ear.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">He considered this. “Might not be such a bad thing.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Jenny’s brow creased. “You are kidding me? After all the work and years you’ve put in? You have to get back in there and finish it, Pete. You have to get this exam done and complete the course. For heaven’s sake, you’re nearly there. You can’t throw it all away over… What the hell is this over, Pete? Because, for the life of me, I still don’t know. You won’t speak to me. You won’t share. You won’t tell me anything. You’ve been given so much in this life. Why do you have to be so ungrateful?”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Been given so much? What had he been given? He had had to fight for everything he had. Fight and work, and damn hard too. “You may have had a wonderful childhood and cruised on through till now, Jen, but I’m damn sure I didn’t. What do you want from me? Do you want me to spill my guts to you so you can feel like you’ve done your bit? So you can tick me off your list of lost causes? I’ve got nothing and no one and that’s all there’s ever been!” He took a deep breath and stared at the wall, wishing to God she’d just walk away. Just walk off and complain to her friends about the miserable excuse for a man taking root in her bedroom. But she didn’t. She just stood there and looked at him.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">He could see her frame was tense. It might even be shaking. Her eyes were so unreadable; he never knew what was going on inside her head. As for having a crack at her? Hadn’t that just been a peach of an idea? He swore again, under his breath, and looked back at her. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">His gaze sunk to the bed. She should run away, far, far away from him. He didn’t deserve her care, or affection. She should kick him out on his ear for being inexcusably ungrateful, but instead, she quietly walked over and sat down next to him and took hold of his hand. It was a simple, innocent connection, but in that moment, Pete held his breath and felt her warm, loving touch mending him.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Dr Peter Florin is the sexy bad boy of St Steven’s hospital. Despite his love ‘em and leave ‘em attitude, every woman still wants him </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">–and nurse Jenny White is no exception. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">For one night she thought she saw the real Pete, but ever since then he’s kept his distance </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">and so she has kept hers… <br /><br />Only Pete is a man haunted by a dark childhood and a tragic loss, and as she watches him spiral </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">down into despair, Jenny realises she might</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">be the only one who can drag him back.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">So she does – at the risk of her own, already bruised and battered heart. For no matter what she tells herself, such a man is surely impossible to change – and even more impossible to resist.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">My name is Wendy Lou Jones. I was born and raised in West Sussex, England and moved to Birmingham to study Medicine at University, where I was lucky enough to meet my husband. We now live in a little village in Herefordshire with our two grubby boys. I discovered a love of writing not long after my youngest son started school. And if you were to ask me what it was that made me make the switch, I’d tell you quite simply, that it started with a dream.</span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Mr Elliott was tall and dark: a striking man, whose features, suffused with even a modicum of warmth, might have been quite good looking on anyone else, but on him, they favoured only his gravitas. Unfortunately, in the serious light of her current situation, Kate couldn't help but quake. </span></div>
</div>
</div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">She had to be strong. She had to stand up for the weak and the ill, the people who couldn't fight for themselves. It was going to be down to her to make him see how unfeeling he had been.<br /><br />Grey-blue eyes bore into her as the silence lingered like a guillotine above her head and the trembling inside her began to grow. <br /><br />"So you think, Nurse…" he said, deliberately peering closer at her uniform to read the name on her badge. "Excuse me, Staff Nurse Heath, that I should be reported for speaking plainly to one of my patients, do you? Maybe you would be kind enough to enlighten me as to why?"<br /><br />Kate’s jaw clenched. He was patronising her, she was well aware of it, but while the little courage she had left remained, she was going to speak her mind. With the callous words of the surgeon who had recently treated her grandfather so appallingly hurtling to the forefront of her mind, she looked up into his steel-armoured eyes. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">"It was quite obvious that you were completely out of order in there," she said. "What gave you the right to judge that poor lad? I bet you don't even know the first thing about him; stuck up there in your ivory tower where life is so easy and Armani suits grow on trees. Who’s to say it wasn’t a genuine accident? But you wouldn't think of that, would you? You just laid into him. He was a quivering wreck by the time you’d finished."<br /><br />Mr Elliott stood, poised in obvious frustration for a moment and then, when his voice finally broke, it was clenched and steady, as if a great force was being needed to keep it so. "And how should I have addressed the situation instead, may I ask?"<br /><br />By this time Kate was rapidly running out of fire. She knew how to fight when her opponent shouted back, but this cool, calculated analysis had her on the wrong foot. She searched for something further to say, but came up blank.<br /><br />"What, no sound advice? No words of wisdom?"<br /><br />Kate bristled and shot him a glare, cursing her brain for letting her down right when she needed it.<br /><br />"Maybe I had better remind you of your objections. I think the word 'bully' was in there, and from what I can remember you were attempting to incite mutiny on one of my wards. So would you care to elaborate on any of that? You were very free with your opinions a few minutes ago." He looked at her for a moment as her brain struggled hard to find the right words to say. "Maybe you should try running my team, doing my clinics and operating on my patients for a few days and then come back to me. At least then you might have some idea of what you're talking about."<br /><br />"I wasn't questioning your abilities as a doctor,” she said, suddenly finding the spark she needed and tossing it right back at him, but her conviction was waning.<br /><br />"Oh? Well, that is a relief." His tone had taken on a sarcastic quality that ignited the dying embers of her rage.<br /><br />"No, it was your lack of compassion that I was questioning," Kate said. "It's not your right to play judge and jury, deciding who should be worthy of treatment and who should not. Are you absolutely certain he was the one to blame for the crash? It’s just as likely that he wasn’t. In fact we had one, just the other day, where a woman swerved to avoid a cat and crashed head-long into a van coming in the opposite direction."<br /><br />Elliott's face paled. His stone wall cracked just a little as Kate could see the doubt settling in. For a second she could sense his turmoil and found new strength in his weakness. She looked at him straight in the eyes. "Precisely."<br /><br />"Do you know what happened to bring him in here?" he asked, pausing for a moment to see if Kate would respond, but she didn’t. "No, you don't, do you? So I say to you, if someone had been a bit harder on that lad a few years ago, then maybe I wouldn't have another patient fighting for her life on ITU right now." He let out a small breath. "Maybe you should keep your nose out of business that does not concern you from now on and go back to… A&E?" He looked at her for confirmation of her department. "And concentrate on your own job. And the next time you try accusing someone of being 'unprofessional', I suggest you make absolutely sure your own behaviour is beyond reproach, or it might end up being you that gets reported for misconduct and not the poor wretch who finds himself on the sharp end of your malicious and ill-founded gossip."<br /><br /> Kate was defeated. Tears threatened to well up but she was damned if she was going to give him the pleasure of seeing it. She looked at the dull grey floor in front of her, Elliott's crisp black leather shoes firmly blocking her way. He hesitated for a moment, his brow crinkling and then he opened the door and stood back, letting her slip away in silence. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">In fact it is Dr Peter Florin who quickly has everyone’s hearts aflutter with his easy</span><br />

This is the first time I have read a book about a story within a story and at first I wasn’t sure if it was going to work but I soon became wrapped up in the story of Kate and Adam. It is full of emotion and romance and is very delicately written it was a very moving read... I have to admit to having a lump in my throat whilst reading this book it is a very emotional book and I won’t forget the ending of this book in a hurry. </i></span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><i>This book was both heartbreaking and at the same time an uplifting read it really is a thought provoking book.

I loved the ending but as I was approaching it, I had to slow down my reading because I wasn’t ready to let it go just yet! Every step in Kate and Adam’s story was striking and important and at times, I felt like I was reading with a lump in my throat. Combined with Lena’s involvement, towards the end this book was always going to be a little different and unlike so many other emotional romance novels, it was the perfect ending.'</i></span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">My name is Wendy Lou Jones. I was born and raised in West Sussex, England and moved to Birmingham to study Medicine at University, where I was lucky enough to meet my husband. We now live in a little village in Herefordshire with our two grubby boys. I discovered a love of writing not long after my youngest son started school. And if you were to ask me what it was that made me make the switch, I’d tell you quite simply, that it started with a dream.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Lakshaya frowned when her ride came to an abrupt halt. Another, bigger elephant was lined up at the gate. An elephant dressed up in gold and glitter. Lakshaya pulled away the curtain of her palanquin fully and found her mount abreast of King Kartikeya’s. <br /><br />‘Let me go first, Maharaj,’ she said, without preamble. ‘I was here before you.’<br /><br />Laughing dark eyes stared back at her. His voice easily carried over the distance to her. ‘Rajkumari, a man must always go first. To make sure the path is clear and safe for the lady.’<br /><br />‘You are late, shrimath,’ she yelled back. Then blushed a little and said more temperately. ‘You should have come earlier if you wanted to go first.’<br /><br />The mahouts began to wait for them to settle it. Kartik gestured and drew his elephant still closer to the princess’s. The foot soldiers began to smile at this little domestic scene playing out in front of them. <br /><br />Lakshaya knew she should back down but that complacent smile on his face incensed her. She began to remember why she was upset about his marriage proposal. He hadn’t bothered to let her know, had he? While the true format was to approach the parents first, the kings who loved their queens made sure they were acquiescent even before going to the swayamwar. They weren’t in love but he had rather taken for granted he would be accepted, hadn’t he?<br /><br />The wind blew from east to west and carried his words to her away from others’ hearing. ‘Let me take care of you, princess. Soon I would, in any case.’<br /><br />Velvet words. Was she supposed to melt on hearing them? ‘I’m not sure a king who takes so long to get ready will suit me,’ she shot back. <br /><br />He threw back his head and laughed. ‘You’re early, I’m not late.’<br /><br />‘I don’t have to wear ten thousand ornaments.’ She threw a disdainful look at his armlets and the multiple chains gracing his broad chest along with the broad gold chest piece. <br /><br />‘If I didn’t, who would know me as the ruler?’ he said in pure grammatically correct Sanskrit. ‘I would be outlawed. I might be recognized for what I truly am.’<br /><br />‘What you are truly?' She reiterated, curiosity piqued further when he grinned but said nothing. 'What do you mean? What is it that you might be recognized as?’ <br /><br />‘As a sthaga,’ he said in a low voice only she could hear. <br /><br />‘A ruffian?’ she whispered, afraid she had misheard him and might commit a blunder in speaking it aloud.<br /><br />He had read the movement of her lips because he continued. ‘You think I could not be a ruffian? I’m a looter, Princess Lakshaya. Haven’t you heard?’ <br /><br />He was leading her on! ‘From your doot?’ she shot back. ‘So you boast of what he was told to convey to us? That you steal maidens’ hearts when you look at them? I heartily mislike the overly admiring phrases, I’ll have you know.’ <br /><br />‘I’ll banish him when I get back,’ he said, grinning. ‘How dare he annoy a princess? Now, should I proceed?’ <br /><br />‘Of course not. And I never asked you to banish the poor man!’ Her throat would get parched if she continued to shout.<br /><br />‘Oh now he’s a poor man, is he? If not his banishment, then tell me, what would please you?’<br /><br />‘Give him some task like writing a poetry volume on Bagalpur.’ she said. Her anger was evaporating at his obvious attempt to placate, a smile beginning to peep out at his serious inquiry. Was King Kartik really set on pleasing her as he showed he was, to ask her what should be done about his staff? Maybe she had misjudged him about the sudden proposal. She must ask him why he had proposed in a rush when the moment was more opportune. ‘His language was good,’ she conceded. <br /><br />‘Sounds perfect. So I agree to your wish and now you must agree to mine.’ ‘Ah! So that is how the land lies. You want to have your own way at all costs.’ She darted him a miffed glance</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Summerita Rhayne loves to write sensual and emotional romance in diverse genres like contemporary and historical. There's no knowing when some quirky - or sometimes even not so quirky - happening in daily life might trigger her right brain and then she's off craving a new story. She loves writing characters who learn and grow and find their way out of their troubles and emotional hang-ups. Hot, sensual heroes and sassy but sweet heroines mostly fit the bill in her stories. She also believes that a touch of humor never goes amiss in a book.<br /><br />She divides her time between family, job and writing - and loves winding down with music, movies and the internet!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">‘Hey, you! Get out of my skip.’<br /><br />Izzy froze, rammed her shoulder against the rusty metal container side, and crouched lower, cringing as the male voice resonated above her head and echoed across the building site. <br /><br /><i> Damn it.</i> She kicked herself for coming back for one last look, when she should have got away. In some ways this afternoon’s bombshell news that the cinema building was up for sale made it more important than ever for her to get her hands on stock. They weren’t going to give up, they were going to fight to survive, and tonight’s skip raid was a symbol of that determination. Ever since she, Dida and Luce had launched Vintage at the Cinema, they’d dreamed of a time when business would be booming, and it was ironic that now it was actually happening, it looked as if it might be snatched away.<br /><br />Something about tonight’s desperation spun Izzy back to the time when she’d first discovered the joys of skip scavenging, when her mum walked out on her dad. With four kids and an empty flat, skips had provided Izzy with most of her bedroom furniture. Those fledgeling finds had kick started Izzy’s love of rescuing what other people threw away. It turned out she had a flair for making old, unwanted things beautiful. At least one good thing had come out of her parents’ break up, and the talents she’d discovered back then had exploded with the opportunity of Vintage at the Cinema.<br /><br /> A stripped out cinema building was a big place to fill, especially when the furniture you put in there was flying out as fast as it went in. But ending up on a building site, in a skip, with some guy yelling at you, wasn’t the best of places to spend a Wednesday evening.<br /><br />‘Oi! I said move it!’ </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><i>He was still there then. </i>Izzy shuddered.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Luce, always teased her about her compulsion for searching through skips, but it was true that Izzy found it very hard, if not impossible to pass a skip without diving into it. In her experience, there was often treasure to be found, but right now, with an angry man bearing down on her, she was wishing she hadn’t let that last glance into the second, almost empty skip, entice her. She closed her hand around the small carved plaster cherub she’d found lurking at the bottom. Dusk was no time to get caught in the act, even if she had okayed it with the builders earlier.<br /><br />‘Think you can come round breaking my windows do you, just because the house is empty?’ Enter one apoplectic guy, who’d totally got the wrong end of the stick. He didn’t sound too close, but he only had to walk across, and peer over the skip edge, and she’d be done for. ‘Did you hear me? I know you’re there.’ <br /><br /><i> Fierce and well spoken – they were the worst sort.</i> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Izzy grimaced, braced herself for trouble, and began to unfold her legs. Time to face whatever was coming her way. It was a daily hazard of skulking round skips – sometimes it was inevitable, you pissed people off. And Izzy couldn’t bear to see old pieces with the potential to be pretty being tossed away. It broke her heart to think of lovely old things being smashed up by ignorant people who didn’t know any better. As she saw it, she was on a rescue mission here, and no one in their right mind would object to that, once they saw reason. Although from the way Mr Shouty was limbering up, she wasn’t sure reason was going to have much to do with this.<br /><br />Slowly, she unfolded, to get a peep at what she was dealing with here, and as her nose drew level with the skip edge, she got a full frontal view of the man she was annoying. Talk about chiseled cheekbones. Add in eyes the colour of darkness, a body that would have made most women she knew ache to peel off his well-cut clothes, and for a fraction of a nano second she fell resoundingly, heart-stoppingly, scorchingly in love. She’d always wondered what her friends meant when they talked about thunderbolts, and now she knew. Before she could say “oh my sweet jesus”, her lips had parted, and she was letting out a long, wavering sigh.<br /><br />Smitten or what?<br /><br />‘You little vandal.’ The guy’s scowl darkened as he whipped his growl into overdrive. ‘I won’t tolerate trespassing scumbags, get off my site, and I mean now.’<br /><br /><i>Phew.</i> That went some way to blasting away the cupid dust. <br /><br />Izzy straightened, poked her head and then her shoulders above the edge of the skip, and watched with satisfaction as the guy’s jaw dropped. That would be surprise. And then his gaze honed in on her cleveage. That would be....<br /><br /><i>Oh shit.</i> Nothing like eye-glue stuck on your boobs to give a girl yet another reality check. And her reality was the one where love and men were top of her Things-To-Avoid list. Yay! to Awful Alistair, who had messed with her heart for three years before stomping on it with the “it’s not you it’s me” thing, throwing in the added rider of “but you are coming over quite possessive” when what it turned out he really meant was he’d been shagging someone else for months. Enough said about that one. <br /><br />Meanwhile, there was no point wasting her time explaining to this perfect specimen in his impeccably cut suit that she had okayed all this with the builders here earlier in the day. She shuddered to think what his reaction would be, if he knew her van was round the corner, full of things she’d dragged out of his other skip, only minutes before. Driving a van plastered with signs saying “Vintage at the Cinema, Everything Retro” might be great for publicity on a day to day basis, but it was hardly going to help her make an anonymous getaway. <br /><br />The knot in her stomach tightened. She liked to think of herself as cool in the face of provocation, not that Luce would agree with that, but his unwarranted verbal attack had sent her almost as apoplectic as him.<br /><br />Behind him, parked next to the house, she glimpsed the over-blown tank of a car he’d just arrived in. Nothing like a gas guzzler to add fuel to her fire. So, not only was he rude and aggressive, he was also that arrogant type who thought he could rule the road, as well as the world, by swanning round in one of those “the rest of humanity can fuck off” vehicles. Izzy always saved her savagest contempt for that kind of guy.<br /><br />She might be in his skip, behind his hedge, on his building site, but he had it coming to him. <br /><br />‘If you weren’t such a wasteful and ignorant prat, people like me wouldn’t have to go round rescuing the perfectly good stuff you’d discarded, would we?’ Catching another glimpse of the half renovated house in the background, with piles of discarded floorboards in front of it, gave her a second wind. ‘People like you, who rip the guts out of everything, with complete insensitivity, deserve a lot worse than thieving vandals.’<br /><br />As she paused for breath, teeth clenched, she noticed he was scrutinising her, and that the thunder on his face had moved on like a passing storm. Wonders never ceased, but she suspected it was her chest popping into view that was responsible. Sad to say, she found her D cups often smoothed the way, although she always preferred to make her progress on a gender neutral footing, on the basis of her own merits. It was a depressing fact of life that some men were remarkably a) shallow and b) susceptible, and Mr Shouty was obviously one of them.<br /><br /> ‘So, it’s a female dumpster-diver – and dressed for a party too.’ His tone had morphed from angry to mocking, as he strode across and peered in at her.<br /><br /> Izzy glanced down at her frock. Okay, maybe her flowery fifties tea dress was a bit close fitting, and it might be incongruous, but was there really the need for the attitude? She was only picking up a few bits and bobs – well a van full actually, but that was beside the point. It should have been a piece of cake, in a skirt and heels, without this unwelcome spectator. <br /><br />‘So what? Are you telling me there’s a dress code now?’ She swished her skirt, and an unintentionally vigorous jerk of her head dislodged her hair comb, and next thing her unruly curls were cascading across her face. Damn. Now she was essentially fighting with one eye.<br /><br />‘Marilyn Munroe curves, and a red head? Who’d have thought.’ He was almost laughing now.<br /><br />One raised eyebrow? Curves? She needed to close this down. <br /><br />‘Whoa, can we cut the sexual harassment?’ <br /><br />Her protest seemed to work, because he baulked momentarily, blinked, and when he looked up again the lust had reverted to bad temper. <br /><br />‘You’re on my land, you’re invalidating my insurance cover.’ His glare sent her insides onto fast-spin. ‘Just get out before I throw you out.’ <br /><br />Izzy took that as a dismissal. Great, time to go.<br /><br />She put her hands on the skip edge and pushed, but nothing happened. She tried again, scrabbled with her feet, and winced as the lemon leather of her pointy shoes scraped down the skip side. Authentic fifties footwear hadn’t been the best choice.<br /><br />She’d got into the skip by climbing on a pile of pallets, then dropping over the side, with no thought to getting out. Now the sides of the skip had her trapped, like a hedgehog in a cattle grid. Clenching her teeth, and forcing her shoulders down, she let out an exasperated sigh. <br /><br />The guy’s hands were on his hips now, resting on his high end leather belt.<br /><br />‘Get on with it then.’ <br /><br />Could he not see she was trying to? His attitude was definitely not attractive, she noted. Except he was. He was horribly attractive in fact. Everything about him, from his stubble shadowed jawline to his muscular thighs tensing against the grey wool of those über expensive suit trousers, screamed SEXY, with the caps lock on. She gave herself a mental kick. What the hell was she thinking? After Awful Alaistair, she was steering clear of men. Especially men with choppy brown hair, and definitely arrogant gits like this one. Her resolve was strengthened now she was well on her way to the financial independence she’d always craved. She bit her lip, and blew again.<br /><br />‘Well, what are you waiting for?’ <br /><br />His gravelly voiced query sent goosebumps scurrying up her arms, hotly pursued by a large dose of self disgust. She was in the shit here on every level, and it was time to admit defeat.<br /><br />‘Actually, I can’t get out.’ <br /><br />She lowered her eyes, tried to swallow the shame-faced words, desperate not to acknowledge the gleeful sneer chasing across that disgustingly beautiful face of his.<br /><br />‘Not so stroppy now, then.’ He gave a low grunt that might have been a laugh. ‘What do you suggest? Shall I come to help you, or will I get accused of sexual harassment?’ His tone was lazy, and he didn’t move, but the flash of humour in his eyes had Izzy’s heart skipping a beat. <br /><br />‘Just sling me a pallet, stop gloating, and shut up. Please.’ She watched him stroll forward, grasp a pallet, and swing it high into the air with brutal ease. A hollow clang rang out as the wood thumped down on the skip base, and sent reverberations through the soles of her feet. <br /><br />‘Thank you.’ She pulled herself up to her full five foot four inches. Then grasping the pallet, she heaved it into position against the skip side, and checked out its stability with one foot. <br /><br />‘Careful. If you’ve invalidated my public liability cover, I don’t want any accidents.’ <br /><br />God, this guy was a stuffed-shirt. She let out another impatient snort. ‘If you don’t stop going on about insurance, I might have to squash you on my way down.’ And it was bad news that he made her even more insolent than usual, but at least she hadn’t sworn at him yet. She already owed Luce, and her Customer Service Initiative swear box a bomb as it was.<br /><br />Izzy clambered up the pallet, nudged her way onto the skip edge, and it was just too bad that her skirt was riding up somewhere around her bottom as the guy looked up. She really hadn’t planned to give him an eyeful of underwear.<br /><br />He staggered backwards, clearing his throat and looking away quickly. ‘Alright up there?’ <br /><br />She dreaded to think what kind of acreage of her knickers she was showing, but frankly she no longer cared. Two kicks sent her pumps flying through the air, then as she splayed her legs, ready to jump, she heard a rip. Crap. The last thing she needed here was to leave her skirt behind her.<br /><br />‘Hang on....’ The guy sprung towards her with a strangled squawk.<br /><br />‘Okay, keep your hair on.’ Izzy gasped. Two strides later his hands closed around her waist. The breath left her body as he spun her through a glorious crazy arc, before setting her lightly and neatly on the ground beside him. For a moment she wobbled against the soft fabric of his jacket, getting a blast of aftershave that was way too delicious for someone so bad tempered. And then he stepped away, and she was the one left with wide eyes, and a sagging jaw.</span>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Izzy is a wow at making unwanted things pretty, but with three brothers and her shabby chic furniture business to run she doesn’t have </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">time to date. Could a fabulous </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">French proposal change her mind? <br /><br />Single mum Luce’s vintage bridal dresses are exquisite, but there’s no way she’s ever going </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">to wear one or walk down the aisle for that matter. She’s a strictly no romance, </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /><br />Dida seems to have it all – a chocolate and banana cake recipe to die for, lovely kids (most of the time!) and a great lifestyle. But what good is a fabulous home, when your marriage has more cracks than a pavlova and your husband is having it off with half of Lithuania? <br /><br />Three retro fabulous friends, in love with all things vintage, </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">run their dream business from the faded grandeur of a rescued </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">cinema. When that dream comes under threat,</span><br />

</div>
</div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br />I write fun, flirty fiction, with feisty heroines and a bit of an edge.<br /><br />I live in a mountain kingdom in Derbyshire, England, where my family and pets are kind enough to ignore the domestic chaos – happily, we’re in walking distance of a supermarket. For me, writing romance is cool because I get to wear pretty shoes instead of wellies. I love hearts, flowers, happy endings, all things vintage, most things french. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">When I’m not on facebook, and can’t find an excuse for shopping, I’ll be walking, or gardening. On days when I want to be really scared, I ride a tandem.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><i>Courage.</i> She needed courage to get through this night.<br /><br />She’d barely taken her first sip of champagne and surveyed the lush surroundings of the lounge on the main deck when she felt the presence of a Crowley approach her.<br /><br />“Roni Milano?” Familiar cool blue eyes widened with recognition.<br /><br />She met his gaze with her own, determination lending her temporary confidence. “Hello, Lucas. It’s Veronica now.”<br /><br />“Veronica. You look great.” His voice was deeper than she remembered.<br /><br />“All grown up.” She twirled the end of curl. “A long way from pigtails and freckles.”<br /><br />“And food in your hair.”<br /><br />His wide smile caught her off guard and she laughed. “Yeah. I’m much better with a knife now.”<br /><br />He sobered quickly. “I will definitely keep that in mind.” He grabbed a champagne flute from a passing tray and drained it to the last drop. Veronica’s spine shuddered when his eyes fixed on her again – narrowed with suspicion. His stance stiffened. “Are you here with one of our guests?”<br /><br />“Why? Couldn’t I possibly be an invited guest on my own?” She heard the defensiveness in her own voice, but she refused to be swept aside. He might have those same gorgeous eyes, but he wasn’t Davis. And she wasn’t going to leave without seeing Davis.<br /><br />“Of course not. I know the wedding list.” He leaned in close to her ear to whisper. “Sorry. I have a very vivid picture in my mind of the last time I saw you.”<br /><br />“Of course you remember me kissing your brother.” She knew he’d meant to shock her, so she winked back. “You were the one who interrupted us.”<br /><br />“Then tell me you’re not here to pick up where you left off.”<br /><br />“So this is my hello, Lucas?” She deepened her voice to mimic his. <i>“Wow, you look great but you shouldn’t be here. Davis is getting married this weekend.”</i><br /><br />“Precisely. And you’re not the one who’s wearing the bridal gown.”<br /><br />“You really don’t trust me.”<br /><br />“You avoided my question.”<br /><br />“I batted my eyes at the big bouncer at the door.”<br /><br />“Hardly your style.”<br /><br />“Lucas, most girls grow out of their tomboy phase.”<br /><br />His eyes moved slowly down her body with obvious pauses over each of her assets. He trailed his fingers across the smooth silk hugging her hips. “Only <i>you</i> would wear black to his wedding.”<br /><br />Before she could respond he grabbed the invitation from her hand to inspect it.<br /><br />“It feels authentic.” He still sounded skeptical.<br /><br />“I didn’t forge it.”<br /><br />“But you could. You made a helluva convincing fake I.D. in high school so you could follow Davis into the dance clubs.”<br /><br />She laughed bitterly. “You remember all the best things about me.”</span><div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">“I don’t understand,” she said, following him into a recently opened café that she had been meaning to try. The interior was dark but welcoming, with a Natural World theme that she liked.<br /><br />“You don’t understand that I didn’t want to be the kind of best man who flies in, gives a speech, and then flies out again?” Matthew asked quietly.<br /><br />Anger came swift and loosened her tongue. “I find it hard to believe that a schedule that saw you unable to get back for Guy’s birthday, or his and Rosie’s engagement party, could suddenly free up enough time for you to arrive well before the eleventh hour. Aren’t you supposed to be navigating rapids in the jungle and filming the results, or something?”<br /><br />She joined the queue, which was naturally much shorter than the one she had left and risked another glance at him. He had always had this way of looking at her. As if he knew something about her that she didn’t know herself.<br /><br />It was so arrogant, Cait thought. So annoying. So- “Oh my God,” Cait whispered, with a sudden inkling as to exactly why he had found the time to come back more than three weeks before their friends’ wedding. She licked her lips and pushed the words out. “You’re here because of me?”<br /><br />Two years drifted away and she was back in the apartment Guy and Matthew had shared, drunk and upset and pouring her heart out to a man who showed absolutely no sympathy and who, the following day, when she was sober and completely mortified, wouldn’t even let her recant.<br /><br />What the hell did he think she was going to do? Stand up at Rosie and Guy’s wedding ceremony and object?<br /><br />“You really think I’m that person?” she managed to get out, every cell in her body ready to reject his answer.<br /><br />Matthew stood staring down at her, his eyes searching hers, and then confidently he said, “No. I don’t think you are that person.”<br /><br />The relief racing through her had her swaying a tiny step towards him.<br /><br />“Not if I won’t let you be,” he added.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Venice, 1615 and instead of the man her father wants her to marry, lacemaker Caterina dreams of Matheo. But when she dabbles with magical lace, she falls foul of the ruling family, altering not only her destiny, but Matheo’s too, and now imprisoned, Caterina must design a way to entwine their fates again.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">England, 2015 and when Cait bumps into Matthew, back from his travels for their friends’ wedding, the spark between them flares instantly. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">But is it another case of the right place at the wrong time for this bridesmaid and best man, or can a dress from Cait’s lace exhibition at the Museum of Fashion weave its magic through the fabric of time, and unite their destinies, too?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Eve's Bio: Growing up in locations like Botswana and Venezuela gave me quite the taste for adventure and my love for romances began when my mother shoved one into my hands in a desperate attempt to keep me quiet during TV coverage of the Wimbledon tennis finals!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br />When I wasn’t consuming books by the bucket-load, I could be found pretending to be a damsel in distress or running around solving mysteries and writing down my adventures. As a teenager, I wrote countless episodes of TV detective dramas so the hero and heroine would end up together every week. As an adult, I worked in a library to conveniently continue consuming books by the bucket-load, until realising I was destined to write contemporary romance and romantic suspense myself. I live in leafy Surrey in the UK, a book-devouring, slightly melodramatic, romance-writing sassy heroine with my very own sexy hero husband!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Celia nibbled her lower lip. “Tell me honestly, Simon. Do you think I should give up the house party? Send my regrets to Lady Stone and miss the wedding?”<br /><br />“Hell, no.”<br /><br />“Don’t pussyfoot about hurting my feelings!” She shuddered. “I’m afraid if I don’t stand up to Uncle on this matter, we’re likely to find ourselves at the altar before Christmas.” <br /><br />“He seems to have entirely forgotten that he was initially opposed to your going.”<br /><br />“Really?” Her eyes brightened. “He won’t stand in my way?”<br /><br />“It seems not. It was brilliant of you to make it a sporting event.”<br /><br />“I can hardly take credit for you proposing a wager – but if it accomplishes my purpose, I suppose I must be grateful for your suggestion.”<br /><br />“That reminds, me, Silly – we never set the stakes.”<br /><br />She shrugged. “Fifty guineas?”<br /><br />“That’s hardly worth the bother. What happened to your confidence? Of course, you’re putting a lot of faith in this so-called fairy godmother. What if she turns out to be a witch instead?”<br /><br />She tipped her head to one side. “You should want me to win, Simon, because my victory will set you free too. If I lose, Uncle Rupert will redouble his efforts to marry us off to each other. Very well – let’s make it five hundred. That’s a small price to pay for your freedom.”<br /><br />“That sum should be enough to keep your mind focused,” he said dryly. “Done.”<br /><br />She held out her hand. “And don’t forget the public apology you promised when I win.”</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I loved writing ‘Stable Mates’, so when I was asked to return to Tippermere and write a follow up I was delighted. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">The Tippermere books are a bit different to the ones I’ve written previously. For a start, the setting, a fictional village in Cheshire in the UK, is nearly as important as the characters, and the stories just wouldn’t be the same without the animal antics (watch out from star turns from the horses and terriers!).</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">This is his rather unorthodox entrance:</span></div>
<i><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br />As dinner-plate-sized hooves sent clods of earth in all directions, distant chatter floated across the air to them and the cob’s large ears flickered. For a second his pace slowed and Todd shifted into a more secure position on his broad back. Then hearing familiar voices, and anticipating mints and carrots, Merlin stretched his neck and picking up speed again he thundered across the immaculate lawns that stretched before the imposing house, his mane and tail flying out behind him.<br /><br />Todd ducked to avoid being garrotted by the colourful bunting that marked the entrance to a cordoned-off area and then realised he was being carried down the red carpet towards bride and groom at a completely inappropriate speed. ‘Struth! Where are the anchors on this thing?’<br /><br />It was the last thing that came out of his Aussie mouth before the horse took matters into his own hands and ground to a halt, expertly veering left at the last minute towards an attractive and to what he no doubt suspected was an edible flower arrangement. <br /><br />Force of momentum kept Todd on his original trajectory and he would have landed in the Very Reverend Waterson’s lap if a quick-thinking Rory hadn’t dragged the shocked minister out of harm’s way.<br /><br />Tranquil was the word most often used to describe the village of Tippermere, and Folly Lake Manor was one of its most serene corners. Usually. And today’s wedding, despite the celebrity status of the groom, had been planned as a quiet, family affair.<br /><br />The assembled wedding guests, gathered on the lawns in front of a large marquee, watched open-mouthed as Todd rolled like an expert and got to his feet, brushing himself down as he went. <br /><br />He straightened, six foot of muscle in jeans and open-necked shirt, topped by a shock of sun-bleached hair and a mud-spattered face and flashed his best grin at his shocked audience before spinning round to locate the man he’d been heading for.<br /><br />‘Mate.’ He tipped a hand in the direction of his hat, which he’d actually lost a good few hundreds yard back along the way, then looked past the speechless vicar to the bemused bride and groom.</span></i><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span style="font-size: large;">Bestselling author Zara Stoneley lives in deepest Cheshire surrounded by horses, dogs, cats and amazing countryside. When she's not visiting wine bars, artisan markets or admiring the scenery in her sexy high heels or green wellies, she can be found in flip flops on the beach in Barcelona, or more likely sampling the tapas!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Zara writes hot romance and bonkbusters. Her latest novels, 'Stable Mates' and ‘Country Affairs’, are fun romps through the Cheshire countryside and combine some of her greatest loves - horses, dogs, hot men and strong women (and not forgetting champagne and fast cars)!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">She writes for Harper Collins and Accent Press.</span><br />

<i style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; text-align: start;"><span style="font-size: large;">When Max’s mother kicked him and his two-year-old daughter out, he had no idea how he was going to stay in school and work enough to keep a roof over their heads without anyone to help take care of Chloe. </span></i></div>

</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Max held up a finger, then dropped his arm to his side. Maybe Riley was right. He didn’t know anything about Savannah. She had moved in without asking any questions, and hadn’t brought any furniture with him. “Yeah, so, listen,” he began.<br /><br />She backed out of the refrigerator, balancing a stack of food. Max saw a package of chicken, American cheese squares, and the gallon of milk. Savannah carried everything to the counter and set it down. Digging a hand into her pocket, she pulled out a twenty dollar bill. Her lips moved, and her voice tumbled out, but he didn't understand a word that she said.<br /><br />He squinted at her and rubbed his ears, wondering if he had somehow hit his head. “What?”<br /><br />Savannah blinked at him. “You don’t speak Spanish?” Both of her hands were planted firmly on her hips. She frowned, but the dimples in her cheeks were still visible.<br /><br />“No,” Max said. “Why would I?”<br /><br />She smacked her forehead lightly and fired off something that sounded like a cross between admonishment and pity. Pacing back and forth, the words continued to spill from her mouth. Max had no idea what she said, but it was starting to look like Riley might be right.<br /><br />“Are you okay?” he asked, glancing at the entryway to the kitchen. Chloe still played in the living room.<br /><br />Savannah rolled her eyes. “Are you kidding me? Isn’t your last name Batista?”<br /><br />“Yeah. So?” He crossed his arms.<br /><br />“And you don’t speak Spanish?” She threw her hands up in the air. “How can that be?”<br /><br />Max rubbed the back of his neck and shifted. “I don’t know,” he said. “I just never learned.”<br /><br />“Your parents didn’t speak Spanish to you?” She put her hands on her hips again, frowning at him.<br /><br />“No,” he said slowly. “Why would they have?”<br /><br />Savannah scowled. “Are you kidding me?” She pointed a finger at him. “Where is your family from?”<br /><br />Max raised an eyebrow at her. “Waterbury,” he said.<br /><br />“No, ding dong. Where are they <i>from</i>? Like, where did your grandparents come from?” She leaned against the counter, her arms crossed. Dark, silky black hair hung over her shoulders.<br /><br />He licked his lips, trying to think. All four of his grandparents had passed away years earlier. He didn’t really know much about them. He had never thought about it very much before. The last real memory he had of them was going to church on Christmas. It had happened long before Chloe was born, before he had even started high school. “New York, I think,” he said finally.<br /><br />“All of them came from New York?” Savannah asked, an eyebrow raised. She rolled her eyes. “They just appeared there one day, right?”<br /><br />“No,” he said, crossing his own arms. “They died when I was a kid. What does that have to do with anything?”<br /><br />She blew her long bangs into the air, making a motorcycle sound with her lips. Muttering something under her breath, she shook her head. “Where did they live before they came to the States?”<br /><br />Max frowned at her. “Puerto Rico,” he said with a shrug.<br /><br />“So,” she said, taking a step toward him. “You’re Puerto Rican, and you don’t even speak Spanish?”<br /><br />Glancing at the door again, he took a step back. “Nope,” he said.<br /><br />“Are you kidding me?” she said again, throwing her hands up. She took another step toward him. “You never even wanted to learn?”<br /><br />“Jeez,” he said, holding his hands up. “It’s not that big a deal.”<br /><br />Her large brown eyes widened. Her mouth dropped open. Then, she erupted. “Not a big deal? Are you serious?” Lapsing into Spanish, she fired off a string of what he could only assume were curses. Instead of being terrified, like he probably should have been, though, he only felt slightly turned on.<br /><br />He grinned.<br /><br />“Why are you smiling at me?” she snapped.<br /><br />“Because,” he said. “You’re kind of cute when you’re cussing me out in Spanish.”<br /><br />Howling in frustration, she stomped past him, the twenty dollar bill still clutched in her hand. He watched as she stormed through the living room. A moment later, the door slammed behind her.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Max will have to drop out of school if he </span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">can’t find anyone to help take care of his two-year-old daughter. He never expected to find Savannah, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">and he definitely didn’t expect to fall in love with her.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Max became the family screwup when he got his high school girlfriend pregnant, and his parents have never forgiven him. Just as he’s almost done with his sophomore year of college, his mother tells him that it’s time for him to move out—and he has to take his two-year-old daughter Chloe with him. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Getting an apartment won’t be too big of a problem, but when Max’s mother also tells him that she won’t be watching Chloe anymore, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">he might have to drop out of school.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">He doesn’t expect anyone to answer, and he definitely doesn’t expect a woman with a sleeve of skull tattoos. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Desperate, Max agrees to interview Savannah, and he is surprised to discover that she is great with Chloe. As he gets to know Savannah even more, he begins to think that he might just have a shot at love again.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Before he can even try, Chloe’s mother forces her way back into his and Chloe’s lives—and she is determined to drag them</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Arriving on deck 5, she went first to the Boutique. She had admired a gold chain necklace with a pearl encrusted cruise ship a couple days ago. The shop was just opening and she was the only customer until Tom Sandburg followed her in.<br /><br />She asked the clerk for the necklace so she could examine it closer. The girl unlocked the glass case, pulled out a tray of necklaces and handed that particular one to Suzanne. The tag confirmed it was eighteen karat gold, as its color had indicated to her. She rotated the gold ship back and forth in the light noting the luster of the tiny pearls. The clerk offered her a second necklace saying, "Here's another lovely piece."<br /><br />"Yes, it is, but this one is the perfect memento of our trip although I'm not sure how much I will actually wear it. It's not the sort of jewelry I normally buy." Holding it up to her neck and looking in the mirror, she abruptly announced, "I'll take it. I love it." Her eyes were drawn back to the mirror. Tom's reflection was there behind her and his expression was malevolent. 'It must be my imagination,' she thought, shaking off the image. She said to the clerk, "In fact, I'll wear it now."<br /><br />"Of course, let me have it for a minute so I can ring it up." She opened a small box with the ship's logo, removed the tag from the chain, and laid it on the satin interior before returning the necklace to Suzanne to secure around her neck. She entered the numbers from the tag into the system and studied the display screen for a moment. She closed the box and placed it in a small bag while the ticket printed. Suzanne signed the ticket, and dropped both the copy and the bag with the empty box into her tote. Thanking the clerk, she pivoted around to find Tom blocking her path.<br /><br />"Not the kind of jewelry you usually buy, did you say?"<br /><br />"Excuse me?" Had she heard him right? Why was he in her way?<br /><br />"No diamonds?" His voice had grown louder, attracting the attention of a woman who had just entered. "Or do you already have more diamonds than you can wear?"<br /><br />A woman walking past stopped to listen. What was wrong with this man? He surely couldn't be drunk at nine in the morning.<br /><br />Suzanne side-stepped to go around him. He matched her move. She looked him square in the eye. "If you don't mind, I want to leave."<br /><br />"You're pretty good at leaving, aren't you? People in Washington know where that thieving husband of yours is, and they wonder why you're not in jail, too. You just up and disappeared. No one knew where. Now we know, don't we? You're living high and mighty with all that stolen money!" Drawn by his rising volume, a small crowd had assembled and pushed into the shop.<br /><br />Tom's wife appeared at his elbow. "Tom, you're making a scene. Let's go."<br /><br />"I'm not ready to go, Donna. I've wanted to give this lady, and I use the term 'lady' loosely, I've wanted to give this lady a piece of my mind for a long time."<br /><br />His eyes never wavered from Suzanne's face. "If I'd listened to your son-of-a-bitch husband, I'd be as broke as all his other victims. Pennies on the dollar!" He was now shouting, "Pennies on the dollar! That's all they ever saw of their fancy investments with him. Do you even have a clue how many people the two of you destroyed?"<br /><br />She heard the clerk say into the phone, "I need Security in the Boutique."<br /><br />She attempted to shove past him. He grabbed her upper arm and held fast. This was why she had left Bethesda, people like him. The last place she had expected a confrontation was in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.<br /><br />"Let me go!" she demanded, trying to jerk her arm free. His nails bit into her flesh.<br /><br />Suddenly, Michael was at her side, stepping between Tom and her. Simultaneously, a security officer arrived and as soon as he saw the situation, called for assistance. Better safe than sorry. Tom considered the growing force of opposition, released her arm and spat at her feet. He spun around and muscled his way through the throng.<br /><br />The first security officer called out, "Wait up, sir." Tom ignored the command and charged on out. The officer checked with Suzanne, "Are you all right, ma'am?"<br /><br />"Yes," she murmured. Michael wrapped his arms protectively around her. The security officer pursued Tom out the door, looked left and right, and realized he was already gone. He re-entered the shop and told the crowd it was time to disperse. A few began to withdraw, among them, Donna Sandburg.<br /><br />Two additional security people arrived. It was then the clerk screamed, "I've been robbed!" That accelerated the scattering of onlookers who didn't want to be caught up in this startling turn of events.</span><br />

I grew up primarily in Knoxville, Iowa, attended Grinnell College, married my high school sweetheart, and today live in Omaha NE. We raised two daughters, and have four granddaughters. We enjoy boating, flying, world-wide travel, and spending summer days on the Lake of the Ozark in Missouri. After three careers, I now concentrate on writing fiction. Published works include full length novels and short stories in both ebook formats and print.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br />Daniel Young wanted to die.<br /><br />That had been the dominant thought in his head since The Incident. Through the sweaty classrooms and drunken amnesia of college, he had wished to die. Plodding through the halls of judgment and oppression known as high school, he had craved the infamy death would bring him. <i>Did you hear about Dan? He was so quiet, such a nice guy. We should’ve talked to him more. Wait...Dan who?</i> Even earlier, as he entered the eternal middle school struggle to “find yourself” and “define the person you are becoming” – he could still hear a generic potpourri of his teachers’ voices repeating the phrases as Gospel – Dan yearned for a release, reached for something more but knowing it was not to be grasped in this world. <br /><br /><i>I’ve defined myself, alright, and it’s not pretty. How proud my teachers would be now. </i><br /><br />How many hospitals did this trip make? Four? Five maybe? He couldn’t remember, they all blurred together, just dreary rooms with plastic mattresses on creaking beds, pastel walls meant to soothe but succeeding only in instigating sudden bouts of nausea, and that ever-present stench of age and waste - but this time had been Dan’s most dire effort, his deepest cut yet. His attempts were inching ever closer to the desired goal with each try, so he figured he could be at least a little proud about that. His cowardice was finally caving under his relentless desire to die.<br /><br />He rubbed his wrists, grimaced as a scab popped off in his fingers, and felt the bite of the blade as if it had slid through his flesh just seconds ago. <i>So primitive</i>, he thought. <i>So brutal. But I guess that’s why it works the best. Better than sitting in my car again and opening the garage door just before passing out. Too much time to think in the garage. Too much time to think how she—</i><br /><br />Footsteps echoed in the hallway, and he found himself hoping they belonged to Jack. His friend had yet to visit him this time, but Dan knew he would come as sure as the sun would rise and once more fail to bring him warmth. Jack was always there, had been since before the days of deepened voices and armpit hair, and he was usually the voice on the phone as Dan panicked after a night of drinking, drugging, or in this instance, slicing. After all of Jack’s late night dashes to Dan’s house and the tortured soul inside, Dan figured he owed him at least five figures’ worth of gas money.<br /><br />The footsteps ended just outside his door, and Dan heard his chart being pulled from its holder. <i>Great. Another doctor. As long as it’s not Dr. Donahue.</i><br /><br />No sooner had the name scurried across Dan’s brain than the psychiatrist stepped through the doorway. Dan knew how this would go, thought he could perform the conversation on his own with a high degree of accuracy, but kept his mouth shut and waited for Dr. Donahue to begin his lecture.<br /><br />“What was it this time? What earth-shattering tragedy is responsible for your promotion from pills to a razor blade? Tired of getting your stomach pumped?”<br /><br />The harshness of the question stunned Dan for a moment; this was new. “They let you keep your license with that compassion, Doc?” he asked. <br /><br />Donahue took off his glasses in a sweeping gesture that reminded Dan of a prosecutor about to reveal to the jury the final shocking nail in the defendant’s coffin. The psychiatrist was rotund, his white coat the size of custom curtains yet still bulging at the single-buttoned waist. Pink splotches dotted his walrus-mustached face, and Dan could never recall seeing him without a thin sheen of perspiration across his brow. Donahue pointed the spectacles at Dan and told him in a huffed, perpetually out-of-breath voice, “I have compassion for those who try to help <i>themselves</i>, Danny.”<br /><br />Dan flinched. He hated being called Danny, and this mountain of sweat and bristles never failed to strike that nerve. <br /><br />The doctor shook his head, took a deep breath, placed his glasses back onto his spectacularly wide and flat nose, and continued. “You never stay in rehab for more than a few days. You’re only partially compliant at best with your meds. You don’t call me when you feel suicidal. Instead, you pull sh...stuff like this, get everybody riled up, and I’m supposed to come in and save the day. Thank God you always freak out and come to your senses before doing any real damage. That sound about right, Danny?”<br /><br />“First off, Doc, my name is Dan. Second, it’s okay to say ‘shit’ in front of me. I won’t tell. You can say ‘f***’ and ‘asshole’ and anything else too. Third—”<br /><br />“Is this all a joke to you, Danny? Do you think you’re fooling anybody? You’re screaming for help every time you do this – I know, I know, it’s straight Psych 101 textbook shit – but you refuse to let anyone in as to why you need so much help.” Donahue pulled a chair closer to Dan’s bed and sat. The chair’s bindings groaned. “Frankly, I don’t know why I stay on your case.” <br /><br />Dan lowered his gaze, suddenly ashamed to meet the enormous man eye to eye. The doctor wasn’t following the script – <i>Let’s up your meds, get you into some more counseling, and we’ll go from there, okay, Danny?</i> – and Dan didn’t know how to handle it. His f***-the-world attitude wasn’t flying with the doc anymore, and he wasn’t sure he had a backup approach. <br /><br />Donahue had seen Dan through some of the troubled young man’s roughest times, and more than one botched, half-hearted attempt at suicide. But Dan had never told the doctor, nor any of his court-appointed psychologists or social workers or voodoo bullshit artists, about The Incident, even though he understood that therapy was only beneficial if the kook in question opened up completely and divulged every dirty desire and sinful transgression in his past. Pills only calmed the storm if the patient took initiative to fight through to the eye and confront the demons lurking there. But The Incident was his and his alone; he would deal with it his way, and if that road led to an early, self-inflicted death, then, well, that brought him back to f***-the-world.<br /><br />“Danny,” Dr. Donahue said, “can you tell me what set you off this time? Have you been taking your Lexapro and your Seroquel? We can up the dose, you know ...”<br /><br />Dan closed his eyes and smiled. Familiar ground always felt so much safer.</span><br />
