It’s finally here! From tomorrow you’ll be able to get your
hands on ‘Business and Pleasure’ the first novella from my series ‘Rags and
Riches’! I’m so excited to be able to finally share this with you, so here is a
taste of what it’s all about…
Can
mixing business and pleasure ever result in a happy ending?
When sexy,
rich Lawrence Russo asks Mia to come and work for him in Italy for two weeks,
she jumps at the chance. After all, it beats pole dancing, and the salary he
offers her is practically obscene.
A
relationship quickly begins to develop between the two, but Mia can't help but
wonder if Lawrence's feelings for her are genuine or if he feels he's just
paying for a service.
Even if
their relationship is strong enough to survive her insecurities, what will
happen when somebody from her past shows up and threatens to reveal her
deepest, darkest secret?
Excerpt: Lucy looked around nervously.
"What's wrong?" she asked.
"I…don't
know," Mia admitted. Perhaps she was just being paranoid.
"Mia."
She heard a familiar drawl coming from the shadows. Her heart raced in
anticipation as she turned to see the speaker. He walked out of the shadows and
toward them like a jaguar stalking his prey, but Mia didn't feel intimidated,
only excited by his presence.
"You
shouldn't go sneaking around in the darkness. You could give a girl a
fright." Mia laughed.
"I
could leave, if that would please you," he purred. She loved the way he
emphasized please. He gave no indication that he was going to leave. Mia
was glad.
"Er,
maybe I'll just go wait around the corner," Lucy said awkwardly. Mia
nodded to acknowledge her, feeling a little guilty, because she had actually
forgotten Lucy was still there.
"So,
what are you doing here?" Mia tried to seem nonchalant, despite the fact
that her body was having some kind of chemical reaction to his presence.
As if from
nowhere, the handsome man produced the bottle of champagne he had purchased
earlier that night. "I do believe we have plans to share this." He
took a step closer to her.
"Oh. I
would, it's just we aren't supposed to socialize with the clients outside of
the club," Mia said teasingly, although it was technically true.
"Tell
me, Mia, do you always do what you're supposed to do?" It seemed as though
he had expected her reaction.
"No, I
guess not."
"I've
been watching you, Mia."
"I've
noticed." She took a step in his direction and looked challengingly into
his dark eyes. "So, do you like what you see?"
They were
close enough to touch, and Mia's every nerve was tingling, hoping to feel his
fingers on her skin. He swayed forward and, for a moment, she thought he was
going to kiss her, but he leaned toward her ear instead. "I have a
business proposition for you," he breathed, sending a shiver through her
body before he pulled away from her.
It took Mia
a moment to compose herself, and his eyes sparkled with amusement, no doubt he
was enjoying her confusion. "Business…a business proposition?" Mia
attempted to sound as casual as she possibly could.
"I'm
returning to my home in Tuscany tomorrow," he announced.
Mia felt
her heart sink, but was determined not to let it show. "Oh, it must be
beautiful in Italy this time of year. But what does that have to do with
me?"
"I was
hoping you would accompany me."
So there we
go! If that sounds like your kind of thing then you’ll be able to
get hold of from Beachwalk Press
or from Amazon!
Thank you
so much, and if you do read it then I really hope you enjoy!
