Blurb:
Paige Holmes hides herself in a masculine world in
a desperate attempt to remain safe.
Just as she is ready to face her fears and her
past, she finds herself torn between Matt Jackson and Vance Ellery: handsome,
rich, and safe – or handsome, rich, and dangerous?
Which will she choose?
The one who appears to be the most perfect, or the
one who makes her use all Seven Dirty Words?

Excerpt Two:
A couple of hours
later, I woke to the sound of male voices chatting and laughing in the room
below mine. I stood carefully, straining to hear the topic of conversation. I
caught the words “money”, “sport” and “pavilion,” and knew instantly that TDS
was in my childhood home.
Suddenly, I yearned to
see him again. But, glancing in the full-length mirror by the door that led to
my en suite bathroom, I saw that I was in no fit state to be speaking to
handsome older men.
Dishevelled was an
understatement. My hair resembled a bird’s nest, my eyes had purple rings
underneath them, and the stench of sweat and sickness leaked from my pores.
I dragged myself to the
bathroom, switching on the shower and letting the water run until it was almost
scalding. My body trembled with a cold that only I felt. A hot shower was
desperately needed. Before long, clouds of steam billowed over the top of the
glass doors, informing me that it was time to cleanse away the illness that stuck
to me like goosegrass.
