The Model Excerpt #4

“Are you the photographer?” He smiled and held his hand out for me to shake. “I’m Tyson Jacobs. I work for Mathers.” “Ryder Williams, one of the models.” He gave me a tight smile. “I know who you are, Mr. Williams.” Shaking his hand, I tried to wrap my head around this job. I’d never heard of any of the companies, yet they were desperate to use me. I tried looking up Blue Stars Photography, but only found a website with very little information on it. They seemed relatively new, so it didn’t make sense they’d be used on such a big and important job. Maybe the photographer knew someone from Mathers. I had no idea. Leaning around me, Tyson put his hand on the doorknob. “What do you say we go inside and get this meeting started?” I let Tyson go inside ahead of me and followed in behind him. There were only a few people in the room, but what caught my attention was the woman on the other side of the room with blue hair cascading down her back. There was no else in the world it could have been. It was my Lexie. Hope filled me, and a deep burn spread through every inch of my soul. I had no idea what she was doing here, and I didn’t care. With all that was in me, I tried to hold back from running to her. I’d been patiently waiting for this moment for months, and I couldn’t screw it up now that I had her in my sights. As I walked toward her, all eyes were on me. It was as if they knew our history, and they were waiting to see the fallout when she finally saw me. Standing only a few inches away from her, I could smell her scent. She always smelled of coconut and saltwater, even when we were hundreds of miles away from the ocean. Reaching out to finally touch Lexie, her name slipped from my lips. It was a mix between a prayer and an apology. She moved as if in slow motion. Turning ever so slowly, I took in each inch of her. I loved everything about her, from her petite frame to the beautiful tattoos she adorned her body with, to her deep blue eyes that stood out against her hair. She was more beautiful than any woman I’d ever seen, and this time I wasn’t going to let her slip away from me.

HOLLYWOOD REDEMPTION IS FREE

Hollywood Redemption is FREE for a limited time only! Grab it today before it's too late. One night can change forever... When a single night with a handsome stranger turned my world upside down, I found myself feeling things that I hadn’t felt in a very long time, including insecurities, courtesy of a verbally abusive ex-husband. I fought my way back from the shell of the person I was and I wasn’t ready to give up on love. Not yet. Luke was gorgeous, thoughtful and completely unlike anyone I’d ever met. But as a famous Hollywood actor, he was also way out of my league, no matter how hard he tried to convince me otherwise. His career took him from coast to coast and I lived in a small town somewhere in between. He was a man on the rise, whose work ruled his life and I was a single mom with a son to raise. Miles apart, we built a friendship that slowly burned into something either of us saw coming. I wanted to make it work, so did he… but I quickly learned that his life was far from glamorous and my past wasn’t behind us. The more time we spent together, the more the line between our two worlds faded. The harder we fell I began to wonder, if two people collided by fate and pushed apart by distance could build a love that would last? Luke and Alex's story continues in Hollywood Fairytale. Available now.

The Model Excerpt #3

He strode out into the crystal-clear water in only his tiny navy trunks. Looking over his shoulder, he called out. “Are you ready?” I gave him a thumbs-up as I looked at the LED screen, my finger on the button, ready to take his picture. I could feel that we had everyone’s attention, but I didn’t care. By the time they were done, the lighting would be all wrong for what I wanted. These were for me and me alone. They’d be my spank bank material if they came out the way I thought they would. Ryder disappeared into the water for only a moment, and when he reappeared, it was like a dream or a sexy commercial. He moved in slow motion; his eyes locked on me as my finger held down the shutter button. If we didn’t have an audience, I would have dropped my camera to the ground and jumped him. Water trickled down his torso, and my eyes were riveted on each drop as they moved down his body. Snapping out of it, I ordered. “Push your hair out of your face.” I saw a twinkle in his eye, but other than that, Ryder seemed unfazed as he did as I told him. The crowd moved in closer to watch, their shoot forgotten, and for a split second, I felt bad, until Ryder’s eyes heated and he bit his lower lip. My ovaries let out a sigh, and my sex clenched in need. Dear God, he was otherworldly; he was so gorgeous and perfect. “Come to me. Large strides,” I commanded. I squatted down to get him from a new angle. I wished I had another camera to get him in at least one other direction. Ryder walked to me like he was on the catwalk. My body rose, the closer he got to me. His stare was directed at me until he was right in front of me. Taking my camera, a smile danced on his lips, and when those dimples popped out, I was done for. One big hand reached out and grasped my waist, pulling until every inch of skin from my waist up came into contact with his. Dipping down, his soft lips found mine in the single best kiss of my life. It was the perfect mixture of soft and hard, passion and need with a dose of possession. It ended far too soon, and when Ryder’s lips left mine, I let out a soft cry. I wanted to pull him back to me, but when someone cleared their throat, the world that had disappeared suddenly came rushing back.
