A lesson in love?
His life shattered by tragedy, Emilio Morretti stunned the world when he walked away from his fabulous career. The reclusive Atlanta race car legend isn’t looking for redemption or romance when he meets Sharleen Nichols. But the life coach’s infectious zeal for life is starting to make him feel like a winner again.
Haunted by her own painful secret, Sharleen can’t let her attraction to her celebrity client affect her professional judgment—or her heart. But with his charm and dashing good looks, Emilio is impossible to resist. And a weekend getaway to Miami only fuels the flames of their passion. Are they ready to trust their feelings and put the past behind them? Or will an exploding media scandal and an enemy’s vengeful agenda destroy the happiness finally within their reach?
“I’d do anything for you. You know that, right?” Emilio said.
He reached out and brushed his fingers gently against her cheeks. Pleasure shot straight to her core, tickled and teased her.
“Do you want me to carry you back to my estate?”
“Let’s not and say we did,” she said with a laugh. “In case you haven’t noticed, I’m a curvy woman, not a toothpick, and I don’t want you to hurt yourself.”
His stare was bold, penetrating. Emilio didn’t speak, didn’t utter a word, but if looks could kill she’d be six feet under. Sharleen gulped. What did I do wrong? Why is he mad?
The tense moment only lasted a few seconds, but it felt like hours had passed.
Emilio broke the silence, his voice hollow, cold as ice. He didn’t raise his voice, but his disappointment was evident. “You’re an incredibly smart woman, but I swear, sometimes you say the craziest things.”
Sharleen narrowed her eyes and hitched a hand to her hip. “Who are you calling crazy?”
“You. Now shut up and kiss me.” Emilio seized her waist, wrapped his arms around her and claimed her lips with his mouth.
After I lost my second child, I attended group therapy sessions, and seven years later I still remember a single dad with a heartbreaking story of loss. I thought about him as I wrote Seduced by Mr. Right and knew the book was going to be a sweet, tender romance about two wounded souls who help each other heal. I enjoyed seeing the transformation in Emilio Morretti once he met Sharleen Nichols, and I cheered them on as their relationship progressed. It’s touching to see them open up to each other, and once they bare their souls, things REALLY heat up. I have a feeling you’re going to love chapter sixteen, too! :-)
