Synopsis:
Can she overcome her consuming desire for him?
Can he make her comfortable with the other C-word…commitment?
Marley Mason is dreading the arrival of the new
business consultant. After all, this man will most likely outsource her job to
China. The last thing she would expect is a case of mistaken identity, leading
to false accusations of kidnapping when she attempts to pick up the wrong man
at the airport, or worse…that she would have such a visceral reaction to the
right man.
Rick Randy is super sexy, scandalously flirty,
and perfect masturbation material, but a relationship is out of the question.
Rick is contracted on a temporary basis to fix Marley’s ailing company, and
then pull out, although as he expresses to Marley, pulling out is difficult for
him, in more ways than one! Marley’s feelings range from utter confusion to
intense contemplation as Rick charms his way into her life. All of those
C-words Marley can control, but it’s the other C-word she fears—commitment.

This is
my debut novel, and I’m thrilled to share it with you. I describe
myself as a hopeless romantic in a hopelessly pragmatic world. By day, I don a
magic cape, calculator (sometimes an abacus), and an assortment of gel pens for
my work in the world of finance. But by night, I sit by the warm glow of my
computer monitor, and think of stories that will warm the heart, and cheer the
soul.
There
is nothing better than the intimate journey and ultimate satisfaction that only
a swoon-worthy romance can provide, especially if there are a few laughs along
the way. Although writing is my passion, I am a reader first and
enjoy nothing more than curling up with a good book and some tasty Italian (the
food, of course!). I hope you will enjoy my work and please drop me a line. I’d
love to hear from you.

Excerpt 1
“Can you add
these files?” he asked, grinning broadly at me.
“Sure,” I said
curtly, taking the files.
“You were
dancing.”
“You were
playing Santana,” I replied as if that was an explanation.
“Oh, Santana
makes you dance?”
“I guess so.
Does he make you leer like some kind of stalker?” I snapped. My indignation
only caused his smirk to widen.
“No, Marley, you
manage to do that on your own.”
I swallowed, but
my throat was completely dry. I leaned against the cabinet. I hoped he would
think it was for comfort, but in that moment, it was for complete support.
“I’ll have to
remember that.”
“Remember what?”
I tried to sound offended, but it came out breathless instead.
“To download
more Santana, of course. I really enjoyed the show.”
I wanted to
reply with some witty comeback, but before my brain could function, he walked
back to his office.
I allowed myself
ten minutes to calm down, thinking I would need to buy new batteries for my
vibrator since it was going to get plenty of use. I walked into his office when
I was done filing to let him know I was leaving. I didn’t want to, but it was
something I would have done with Mr Bellman. I wouldn’t give Rick the
satisfaction of knowing how he was affecting me, although at this point, it was
probably obvious.
