Authors
note: This book is quite 'strongly flavoured' and features uninhibited, but
straightforward steamy sexual scenes between consenting adults and true-to-life
street language that would occur in high-stress situations.
EXCERPT:
from chapter 1 – The end of Anna’s first encounter with
Freddie.
She felt the sheer size and strength of him. Her composure
wobbled on a knife-edge. However she dressed it up, she wanted him, not that he
was gonna get that information. He had made no hard play for her. The most
dangerous thing in a crook is patience - she knew that. It was screaming at
her.
The doorman stepped out to hail a cab. Anna looked up and
allowed herself to hold his eyes for a little longer than was quite polite and
edged towards brazen, She felt a sweet tickle of excitement. A taxi pulled in.
“Well - thanks for the drink - and the entertainment.”
Without speaking he moved to face her and then lowered his
chin to kiss one cheek and then the other. The brush of his lips jolted her,
sending a current sparking and screaming down through her body, lighting up
everything it touched.
“Forgive me...” he began, obviously aware of her response,
“these things are normal in France.”
Bloody hell - did he think she didn’t know that? She watched
his lips as he spoke, longing that he would bring them back to her cheeks, to
her lips, to anywhere! God it had been so long...
“I’ll call tomorrow - it has been lovely to meet you Anna.”
“I’ll look forward to it Freddie,” she replied, hearing her
own voice as if it belonged to someone else.
He turned back into the hotel and was gone. She leaned back
in the taxi and let out a deep lungful of air. Dear Lord - had she gone nuts?
How it had felt though - to be aware of a forgotten joy inside her.
