A choice between two men? If only
it were that simple.
Melissa Morgan seems to have it
all…her modeling career is taking off and she's engaged to one of the most
eligible bachelors in London. But when she finds Jonathan cheating on her
again, Melissa finds solace in the arms of Riley, a sexy bar owner trying to
recover from the heartbreak of his last relationship. Melissa shouldn't even
want Riley, but she can't seem to stay away, especially when she finds in him
everything that's missing in her relationship with Jonathan.
Melissa knows she has to make a
hard choice, and when it comes to choosing between the life she's always wanted
and the man she's falling in love with, she might find out that she can't have
the best of both worlds.

Excerpt:
"Hold on," Riley shouted through the door as he undid
the bolts. He opened the door wide. Oh! It was her. He blinked, wondering if
his eyes were deceiving him. Nope, she was still there. What could she want?
"Hi." Melissa smiled nervously. She was truly
breathtaking. Her red curls were scooped back into a messy bun. Dark skinny
jeans and heels accentuated her long, long legs and he could see a hint of her
bra underneath her tight t-shirt.
Damn! How did she do it? He could feel himself becoming aroused
right then and there.
"What can I do for you?" he asked, wondering why she was
back at the bar. He tried not to get excited, in both senses of the word. She
might have just forgotten something last night.
"Can I come in? Or are we going to do this on the
doorstep?" Melissa laughed nervously.
Do what? he wondered, but he stepped aside to let her in without
question. He couldn't help but glance down at her behind as she walked past
him. It was mighty fine, but he felt so guilty for checking her out. She was
engaged for God's sake! To one of the richest bachelors in London, no less. She
wasn't for him. He took a deep breath and followed her into the bar.
"I wanted to thank you for last night," Melissa said as
she turned to him. He could smell her sweet perfume. It was like heaven.
"Oh, okay." That sounded like something she could easily
have done on the doorstep.
"I, um…also wanted to apologize for…you know." Melissa
was blushing. It was an endearing sight. Riley remembered her trying to kiss
him and his reaction.
"It's all right. I won't be telling anybody about it, if
that's what you're worried about." Riley understood now, she was there
covering her tracks, worried that the story about the hot, young model coming
on to the barman would get out. Like he was thinking earlier, these girls were
too full of their own self-importance.
"I wasn't worried about anything." Melissa folded her
arms and scowled at him. "I wanted to apologize to you. I thought I might
have offended you."
"I wasn't offended. I just don't have any time for a drunk,
rich girl who's after a naughty little fling to entertain herself." Riley
knew he needed to get rid of her, he couldn't think straight when she was
around. Despite what he was telling her, a naughty little fling with her
sounded pretty good to him right now.
"What if I want more than a naughty little fling?"
About the Author:
I have always believed that the best stories are the ones that you
can't put down, the ones that transport you to a different place and make you
believe in the characters. This is exactly why I write… I have always loved the
escapism that reading and writing provides, and there is nothing more exciting
than imagining your own set of characters, and then letting them practically
write the story for you. Writing has always been a dream of mine, and I'm lucky
to have the kind of people around me that have always nurtured and encouraged
my passion.
I live a cozy little life in Wales, and when I'm not writing I'm
taking care of my young family, studying for a degree in Classical Studies, and
training to become a nail technician. I love traveling to new places, meeting
new people, and experiencing new things…it's all great inspiration for my
books!
