He gave
her his heart, but can he give her the truth?
Schoolteacher Dana
Roux doesn’t need sexy hotel tycoon David Cavallo to add to her troubles. They
have absolutely nothing in common—she’s a simple schoolteacher in a small
coastal town, and he has more money than he knows what to do with. Besides, as
a former journalist, he’d remember the news stories about her dad’s alleged
involvement in a dirty, Ponzi-like scheme, and his subsequent suicide. The last
thing she wants is for the dark shadow of that scandal—and tragedy—to fall upon
her once again. Especially since she knows her dad was innocent.
For
David, flirting with a beautiful woman comes as naturally as breathing. So when
he winds up kissing his sister-in-law’s best friend, he realizes Dana isn’t
just another pretty pair of lips. But things between them get complicated
quickly when he discovers who her father was, and that it was David’s own news
story that blew the case wide open and sent her father to jail—and to his
death. David’s not sure what to believe, but he knows he can’t let Dana blame
him forever. Especially since she insists her father was an innocent man. But
when Dana’s life is threatened, he realizes that he might not have uncovered
the whole story. And that now, older and wiser, he just might be the only one
who can uncover the truth.

I have been reading love stories for as long as I can
remember and when I ‘met’ the classic authors like Jane Austen, Elizabeth
Gaskell, Henry James, The Brontë sisters, etc. during my Honours studies, I was
hooked for life.
I married my college boyfriend and soul mate and
after 40 years, 3 interesting and wonderful children and 3 beautiful grandsons,
he still makes me weak in the knees. We are fortunate to live in the
picturesque little seaside village of Betty's Bay, South Africa with the ocean
a block away and a beautiful mountain right behind us. And although life so far
has not always been an easy ride, it has always been an exiting and interesting
one!
I like the heroines in my stories to be beautiful,
feisty, independent and headstrong. And the heroes must be strong but
possess a generous amount of sensitivity. They are of course, also
gorgeous! My stories typically incorporate the family background of the
characters to better understand where they come from and who they are when we
meet them in the story.

Excerpt –
Don
laughed and slapped him on the back. “You’ve got it bad, man,” he said and
poured a glass of wine for himself.
David
shrugged. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Don
pointed toward the stairs. “You’ve been staring at those stairs ever since you
arrived.” He cocked his head. “You got a thing for our Dana?”
David
frowned. “No one’s got a thing for anyone. I’m helping her find out what really
happened with the Hastings case. As you very well know, I feel I owe it to her.
I’m taking her for a meal, that’s all there is to—”
A
movement on the stairs caught his eye, and there was Dana. Something hit him in
the gut – hard. A gasp escaped before he could prevent it. She looked gorgeous
and sexy as hell. Pale blue lace gently hugged her generous breasts, fitted
perfectly over the rest of her body and ended high above her knee, leaving
those gorgeous legs bare.
His
fingers tingled, and before he knew it, he was standing at the bottom of the
stairs, holding out his hand to her. She descended, one step at a time, and he
noticed the shoes. He was a dead man. The high heels made her legs look even
longer, even sexier.
Don
barked out a laugh, but David ignored it. Caitlin called out a greeting, and he
nodded but his eyes never left Dana.
A small
smile hovered on her lips when she reached the bottom of the stairs.
“You
look amazing.” He bent down. He simply had to kiss her.
He
swallowed the small gasp on her lips and pulled her closer.
“Well,
are you two sure you want to go out?” Don asked behind him. “We have a few
empty rooms upstairs.”
David
lifted his head and touched Dana’s lips. “Yes, we’re going out.” He pulled
Dana’s hand through his arm.
