Julia Kent by Shopping for a Billionaire’s Fiancee

All of our best dates end up in the emergency room…. I planned the perfect proposal. Plenty of lobster, caviar, champagne and–her favorite–tiramisu. The perfect setting. The perfect woman. The perfect everything. Dad gave me my late mother’s engagement ring, platinum and diamonds galore. Shannon wouldn’t care if I slid a giant hard-candy ring on her finger instead of a three-carat diamond designed to impress. But my future mother-in-law, Marie, will pass out when she sets eyes on that rock, and that will give us two minutes of blessed silence. That woman talks more than Kim Kardashian flashes her naked backside on the internet. I was going to make it perfect, from the color of the tablecloth to the freshness of the roses. And it was perfect. Until Shannon swallowed the ring.

Failure To Stop by Terry Towers

Since when did the procedure for giving someone a ticket for running a stop sign include a very hands-on pat-down against the hood of my car, not even giving me a chance to see his face? I swear, cop or not he’s getting very close to getting Tasered; my hand was mere inches from the Taser in my open purse. But despite the high inappropriateness of his pat-down there was something very familiar about the way he was touching me – even the scent of his cologne triggered familiarity. I never dreamed when the inappropriate, yet highly erotic frisking was over that I’d be standing face to face with my former high school sweetheart, town troublemaker and love of my life Devon Land. But there he was with a cocky smirk, looking sexier than I remembered and thoroughly enjoying my surprise. One big mistake cost me the upscale life in New York I’d grown to love, forcing me to return home to Alabama. I swore I’d never move back to my small town, I’d outgrown it, but with a temptation like Devon intent on reminding me of the life I’d once left behind its becoming a challenge to leave a second time.

Excerpt

He saw her approaching when she was only halfway across the park. For a moment he stood there, hands on hips, as if squaring up for confrontation, then he turned and limped away.

This was stupid!

Here she was, striding out across the park, and him trying to out-pace her, like some kind of slow-motion chase sequence.

She should have just stopped, left him to flee.

What kind of man runs away like that? What was he trying to avoid, for goodness sake?

“It’s not right,” she said, when she was close enough that she wouldn’t have to shout for him to hear. “I gave up shifts so I could work for you. I’m out of pocket.” Not what she’d meant to say, or at least not how she’d meant to say it, but the words were out now.

He stopped and looked back over his shoulder at her.

“So it’s money, is it?” he said. “I’ve got money if that’s what you want.”

It wasn’t. But then, what did she want?

“That’s no way to treat people,” she said.

He shrugged. When was the last time he’d given a thought to how he treated people?

“We’re all just trying to get by, you know. Even you.”

He shook his head now. “I’m not trying to get by,” he said. “I don’t need to try. I don’t need to do anything any more, and still I carry on getting by.” There was a bitterness to his words, as if he hated that the world was so kind to him.

Holly took a few more steps so she could stand before him. His expression was hard to read… Angry, defensive, maybe a little vulnerable.

“That kiss,” she said. “What was that all about? Did you think I’d just be another of your tarts? A quick shag with a girl from the village. Was that it?”

He looked away, across to where Alfie was chasing imaginary rabbits along the edge of a copse.

“That was never going to happen,” she went on. “I’m not like that. It has to mean something to me.”

“An old-fashioned kind of girl, eh?”

“No,” she said. “Just the kind of girl who doesn’t like to be taken for granted. The kind of girl who’s scared that if anything like that happened that would be it, and afterwards… well, afterwards, she’d just be discarded like all the others because you’re too damned scared to let anyone in past those defenses.”

“Is that it?” he said. “You were scared I’d just use you and then toss you away?”

She thought he was going to say something more, but that slight twitch of the mouth didn’t go any further. No words, just a clenching of the jaw.

“What is it? What were you going to say?”

“You’re scared I’d just toss you away,” he said again. “Me? I’m afraid of the opposite. I’m afraid that I wouldn’t.”

It took a few seconds for his words to sink in, and by then he had turned away, started walking again.

Holly took a step after him, then stopped.

She couldn’t work out what was the right thing to do. She had no idea how to respond when a man like Nicholas Blunt said a thing like that.

So she turned, and walked back towards the village, heading for The Bull and reality.

It takes time before Gina Meiro warms up to people and her shyness is often misunderstood. She hasn’t had to worry about meeting new people at a remote art colony until a new resident arrives – a rock guitarist more suited for a billboard. Her carefree days of painting at the medieval-styled castle on a remote New England island are shattered when she stumbles right into his welcome gathering. After a falling out with his band, Dante Riani wants nothing more at Les Beaux Arts on DeRoche Island than solitude to work on new songs. When a shy young painter asks to paint him at sunset, he’s tempted by the opportunity to be alone with her. Someone at the colony claims to know what Dante is and asks for his help. Dante fears his plans are coming undone, especially as grows more drawn to Gina. Her scent and vulnerability are too difficult to resist. But he must stay away from her – she would never understand his secret.
