Hi Everyone,
It’s
nice to be back at the Reading Nook again. Thanks Dawn for having me. Today I’d
like to invite you to get lost in a world filled with desire, passion and
romance and tell you about my new release To Love and Trust Again,
which is now available from Melange Books.
Three years ago Molly Quin walked out of Dan
Berringer’s apartment and told him that she wanted nothing to do with him ever
again. Now, after accepting a position with Bennett Engineering, she will
have to see Dan every day. Fate could be so cruel! Seeing him again so unexpectedly,
she discovered to her chagrin, brought back feelings she thought she’d dealt
with a long time ago.
Dan Berringer made a mistake. He’d hurt Molly badly.
He wants her back now and will stop at nothing to win her including letting Max
McDermott get in his way.
Max McDermott wants Molly Quin. She’s smart, funny
and sexy as hell, but he is reluctant to pursue her. He knows Molly is
attracted to him too but what about her relationship with Dan Berringer? And is
he willing to become involved with someone he works with again?
Follow Molly on her journey as she deals with hurts
from the past and her feelings in the present and learns how to love and trust
again.
Excerpt
Molly walked along the
corridor to a row of elevators and stepped inside an open car. A glance at
her watch confirmed that it was almost eight-thirty. Still there was no one
else on the elevator with her as the doors closed.
When she’d inquired at the
front desk the Receptionist had told her that Tony Camilari, her boss, would
meet her in his office so she pressed the button for the eleventh
floor. As the car moved upwards, Molly tried to recall the names of some
of the people she’d met during her final interview. She was so deep in
thought she was startled when the elevator stopped on the seventh floor and the
doors opened. Looking up, her eyes collided with a pair of the most
irresistible brown eyes she had ever seen. She just stared as their owner
made his way onto the elevator. Sucking in a deep audible breath she tried
to regain her composure. Get a hold of
yourself, she ordered, and stop
gawking at him for goodness sakes.
He gave her a curt nod of
acknowledgment as he stepped in and pressed the button for the ninth
floor. Molly returned the greeting with a nervous smile, turned to the
side and studied him surreptitiously through hooded lashes.
He had to be about six feet tall, she guessed, with
short dark wavy hair. He was athletically built with broad shoulders, lean
narrow hips and a handsome face. But those eyes… They were devastating. They
were large, doe shaped, with deep brown centers and eyelashes to die for. If he were female he would never have to wear mascara
in his life, she thought absurdly.
The complete package was
having the most devastating effect on her senses. Dan affected her the
same way when she had first met him. And
look at the heartache that brought you, a little voice taunted from
inside her head.
The elevator doors opened and
the man stepped out. Molly breathed a deep sigh of relief as the doors closed and
the elevator continued its way to the eleventh floor.
Three and a half hours later
she was sitting at her desk reading through some files when a familiar voice
drawled, “Hello Molly, you're looking well today.”
She knew before she even
turned around it was Dan. How can
hearing his voice again after all this time still cause my stomach to churn
like this?
Placing the documents on the desk in front of her,
she schooled her expression into one of indifference and slowly turned around
to face him. “Hello Dan,” she responded coolly.
Dan’s eyes roamed over her body in blatant sexual
appraisal and Molly cringed inwardly.
“For you,” he said and handed
her a single red rose.
Her eyes widened in shocked surprise. “Thank you,”
she murmured. She was taken aback by the sweet gesture and smiled.
“We’ll have lunch today. Get
your things and we’ll go.”
To Love and Trust again is
now available from Melange Books. Pick up your copy today!
Happy Reading,
