A pact with her
best friends had Sarah Daley promising to make time for love after a long
period of retreating from relationships. But before she embarked on finding her
happily-ever-after, she wanted to do something she'd never done
before--experience a short, hot fling. And the hunky Jeffrey Carmichael,
grandson of the elderly lady who'd hired her as a private nurse, was the only
guy who attracted her for that purpose.
Jeffrey Carmichael
had long discovered that flings, not commitment, were what worked best for him.
After being dumped by an ex-fiancée shortly after the most devastating period
of his life, he'd decided that serious commitment wasn't all it was cracked up
to be. So when he was presented with an opportunity to start a casual
relationship with his grandmother's fun and pretty nurse, he simply couldn't
resist.
When love entered
uninvited, could they admit to wanting something more than temporary? And when
Jeff couldn't avoid welcoming his ex-fiancée back into his life, could Sarah
push aside her ghosts of the past and learn to trust again?
Sarah Daley whipped her head toward the hunk with dark hair and vivid blue eyes sitting next to her in the big hot tub. What?
Her two-second excitement at the thought that she might be the intended recipient of that comment was quickly dashed when she noticed that the gorgeous Jeffrey Carmichael wasn’t even looking at her.
“I’m almost hoping that there are paparazzi around to capture this moment,” Jeff said with a wry grin as he watched his older brother Zachary and Sarah’s best friend Rebecca Andrews kiss passionately by the poolside.
“Oh, let them be, Jeff,” Magda Carmichael said as she sank up to her neck in the heated pool, relishing the massaging effects of the water jets. “They’re in love.”
“Look at your face, Gran,” Jeff said to Magda with a laugh. “You’re so thrilled about this.”
“Of course, I am,” Magda replied. “I’m glad your brother and Rebecca settled their differences and reconciled. They’re wonderful together. Don’t you think so, Sarah?”
“Yes, they are, Magda,” Sarah said with a fond smile for her sweet eighty-year-old client.
“Well, I’m glad that you and Rebecca are on this ship with us. It produced a very satisfactory outcome,” Magda said smugly.
It had already been almost four weeks since Sarah and Rebecca boarded one of the world’s most luxurious cruise ships from Sydney, and Sarah was still overwhelmed by the kindness and generosity of Magda Carmichael—the matriarch of one of Australia’s wealthiest families. Read More
This book packed more than I expected! What happens when an agreed upon short fling a cruise turns into more than the two wary lovers bargain for? Sarah and Jeff both decide to act on their attraction for one another. Jeff is wary about a permanent romance, he has been burned before. Sarah has had her heart broken before, so she agrees to the short term romance. So when they both start feeling more for one another, will they take a chance on Love?
Great steamy scenes, the author does a great job developing characters. I didn't read the first in the series, Forever, prior to reading this book. I was didn't see it necessary but I will say the author did spark my interest to learn more about Rebecca and Zach, so I went ahead and purchased that. :)
Ever since I was a young teenager, I have loved reading romance novels. My auntie used to send me boxes of her books and I would devour them one after another.
Every so often, I would read a mystery or a suspense or a paranormal novel as I love those genres too. But romance is still my favourite. :)
For many years, I wrote technical and non-fiction materials for professional use and had only dreamt about writing a novel. Then, one day, after a period of binge-reading sexy romances, I decided to sit in front of my computer and start writing my first fiction book. The result? My debut novel Will To Love, the first in the hot and sexy Lifestyle by Design series. After that, I knew that I would love to tell more beautiful love stories through my books.
I live in Sydney, Australia with my amazing husband who lovingly cheers me on in my journey as a novelist.
