A New Adult Contemporary Romance
After finishing design school six months ago, Erin Angelo
left her tragic past behind in the States and started a new life in Milan,
Italy. Burying the grief, silencing her demons, and living a life without any
real attachments has worked well for her so far. But when Erin secures her first
real job as a budding clothing designer, her controlled world is shaken to its
core by the mysteriously sexy director of the local symphony.
Alek Dostov is a man who knows what he wants and how to get
it. He’s successful, hot, the son of a millionaire, and women all over the
world flock to see one of his performances. For Alek, Erin represents the
ultimate challenge: sexy, smart, and unaffected by his charms…or so she thinks.
Just like Erin, Alek avoids attachments that leave him emotionally vulnerable.
But unlike Erin, his pursuit of all things pleasurable is ruthless.
Knowing how wary they both are concerning any kind of
committed relationship, Alek finds a way to pursue Erin, satisfying the intense
attraction between them without sacrificing the freedom they both enjoy.
Sometimes the deepest passion brings out the darkest emotions. And Erin finds
herself completely unprepared for the forbidden world of the young maestro and
his truths and even his secrets, as she struggles to deal with her own.
Music, passion, betrayal and forbidden love spun together in
one of the most romantic cities in the world.
This novel contains sexual situations and mature language.
It is intended for an audience at 17+ years of age.
Teaser Excerpt
Erin
Gets Her Happy Dance On…
I’m
walking in a daze.
I think
I’m going to pass out. Whoa! What just happened out there? The most gorgeous,
successful, beautifully arrogant man ever just kissed my hand. My best friend,
Selene is going to hate me for being so lucky. I can’t wait to tell her.
“Alright,
chill out, Cinderella.” I walk through my door and let all the pretense,
aka Miss Control USA, go flying out the window. I hop right up in the middle of
my living room floor and start doing my hot damn dance.
So,
yeah, Alek’s statement about the prelude freaked me out for a second. The word
reminded me of something Jada used to say. His line was just the tiniest bit
corny, too. But I meant what I said when I told him I thought his words were
cute. He can say anything with that accent and get away with it.
I
glance at my watch. 10p.m. It’s too early to call Selene. She works as a
bartender in Florence. Sometimes her nights don’t end until around 2am.
I sniff
the contract Alek gave me. His scent still lingers on the paper, reminding me
of the day I first experienced the scent of his cologne. That was the day I
fell on my butt, and he offered me his jacket to cover my body. He’s a true
gentleman. Well, maybe a little.
So what
if the gesture came after I had bolted for the door because he was looking me
up and down at first. I feel myself forgiving his neglect to inform me of his
true identity. He’s yet to explain himself. I consider agreeing to meet him for
dinner just so he can tell me why he led me to believe he was an assistant.
I
shower and throw on my Betty Boop sleeping shirt, a pair of booties, and then
try to bring my racing thoughts back under control. Heading to my bedroom, I
lie down on the bed and pull out a romance novel Selene let me borrow.
She
thinks I’m destined to become either a nun or a homicidal maniac. Her reasoning
being that no normal person goes without sex as long as I have done. Selene’s
boyfriend and my old design lab partner from school, Christopher, even chimed
in to help drill the thought into me one day when the two of them visited. I
study the book in my hands.
This
just doesn’t seem right. Erin Angelo is
pulling out a romance novel and actually considering reading it. Now I know
something’s wrong with me.
Author of the Lost Immortals Saga and the Path Seekers
Series. I’m also a mother, blogger, reader, gardener, home renovator, and a
slayer of undead Egyptian mummies in Tomb Raider. I believe in karma, coffee,
and seriously wish that the producers of Xena would bring my favorite show ever
back.
Strange things about me: Everything. I am weird, odd,
unusual, and generally tend to make people think I swooped down from another
planet. I don’t know. Maybe I did. Who knows? I’m also a member of the
#zombiesurvivalcrew on twitter. So if you need protection from the upcoming
apocalypse, don’t hesitate to call on us.
I was born in the race-car city of Charlotte, NC, and now
live in the City of Alchemy and Medicine, NC, when I’m not hanging out in
Bardonia (Lost Immortals). Most of my characters are based on people that I’ve
met throughout my travels and adventures. People tend to stop and start
conversations with me as if I’ve known them my entire life. Does this freak me
out? Not really. My mom says that one day I’ll get kidnapped by one of them. I
told her that if it weren’t for these lovely people then I wouldn’t be able to
create the stories that I do.
