When savvy PR consultant Ijay Amadi meets successful Industrialist Paul Arinze, the only things on her mind are to forget the pain of her failed relationship and enjoy the delights his branding touch and soul-searing kiss promise. It’s a one-time only event. Perfect.
However, Paul is annoyed to wake up and find her gone the next morning. He isn’t ready to forget the dark-haired beauty or their scorching night together just yet. So he plans to have Ijay right where he wants her—in Abuja, working on his latest business project by day and enjoying the pleasure of his bed by night.
Except when Ijay arrives, she’s wearing another man’s engagement ring. With the explosive desire between them threatening their priorities and loyalties, the stakes get higher by the minute. Who’ll be left standing at the altar when Ijay walks down the aisle?

Excerpt:
“Are you wet for me, sweet Ijay?”
Sweet
Ijay! Two
tiny words that disintegrated her resolve accompanied by five words that had
her body steaming at their eroticism and directness. Lord help her, but she’d
missed the way he said those words like she was rare and precious to him. Those
words arrested her and kept her ensnared.
Fixated by his arousing touch, she held her
breath as his hand travelled up her thigh, shifting her dress up. If she wasn’t
wet before, she surely was now. She felt her core weep, soaking her thong.
He was so close. So close.
His hand rested at the junction of her hip
and thigh. She swallowed the lump in her throat and closed her eyes. Touch me! Her body screamed taking over
her normally rational mind. Surely she wasn’t being rational any longer. They
were sitting in a restaurant where the waiter or anyone else could turn up at
any moment.
“I can smell your sweet intoxicating
fragrance. I want to taste you so much,” he whispered in a gruff voice, his
fingers skimming the edge of her lace undies. “Say the word, sweet Ijay and
I’ll stop. Do you remember the word?”
Automatically, she nodded while still holding
her breath. Her mind screamed, Blue!
But her body was drowning in sensation, so wound up. If he didn’t touch her
soon, she’d commit murder. Just this once and it wouldn’t matter anymore.
Forgive
me...I want him to touch me.
His fingers pushed the soaked thong aside and
slid inside her. She gripped the edge of the table, her nails digging into the
wood. While his fingers slid in and out of her in a painfully slow rhythm, his
thumb played a thrilling tune with her swollen bud.
Feverish heat travelled through her body. Her
body raced toward the edge, ecstasy only moments away. She couldn’t wait to fly
off the edge. To have her first climax in over six months. To relieve the
tension she’d felt. Not long now. Her body coiled tighter, her breathing coming
in shallow gasps.
His hand stopped moving and slipped out of
her body. A desperate whimper escaped her lips. She opened her eyes just as
Paul lifted hand. His fingers glistened with her juices. He put them into his
mouth one after the other and licked.
“You’re as tasty as ever, sweet Ijay,” he
drawled.

ReplyDeleteWhat is the most important element for you to have when you start a story?

Thank you, Crystal, for featuring my book.
ReplyDeleteHi, BeachHouse writer. Thank you for your question.
The most important element for me when I start a story is to have well-formed characters in my head willing to tell their stories.
I'm not a plotter, so while I know certain things at the beginning, e.g. it's a romance and will have a happy ending, how we actually get there, I don't know.
I tend to write scene by scene, chapter by chapter and go where ever the characters lead me. They end up surprising me. :)
Good luck to everyone entering the giveaway.
this looks like a great read for the cold nights ahead
