Obsession isn’t always a bad thing

Chris Summers needs purpose to come to grips with his new circumstances and save his own sanity. A friend’s offer to get involved in an architectural photobook as the professional photographer is the only solution. The project allows him to work with his friend’s sister, Julia Carlevaro, a luxury hotel heiress, who has sworn off men, love, and some other things she prefers to keep to herself.

Once on location in East Africa, Chris and Julia work long hours together to meet their looming deadline. The attraction between them is palpable but Julia sticks to her no-men resolve and to her secrets.

After a shooting accident that leaves Chris unhinged, he is forced to reveal the true nature of the incident that led to his disability. His cards are on the table, and Julia will need to show hers, or let go of their one chance for love.

Excerpt:

Chris lifted Julia’s chin to bring her closer, their lips magnetizing by their own volition. Hers were soft and opened for him in a sensual invitation as he kissed her. Desire raced through his body, demanding more as he explored her mouth with his tongue, inching tenderly deeper as she settled against him.

Her soft moans and fingers in his hair drew him back to unwanted reality. He broke away from her mouth to anchor his forehead against hers.

He’d never intended to kiss her. Not after her revelation.

She drew herself up to him, her softness pressed against his telltale arousal. Dropping his head back he took a deep breath, hating himself for losing control like that.

She was an addict.

She was addictive.

Chris opened his eyes and hardened his resolve. He took her by the shoulders and pushed her to arm’s length. Her eyes flew open and he stared at her, shaking his head. “I won’t get involved, I can’t.”

He’d never hated life more than in that moment. “I’ve seen… I’ve lived this life already, Jules. It’s not only the addict who suffers. The loved ones suffer equally if not more. Without taking the drug once.” He took a deep breath. “Let’s not mess with each other like this, okay?”

He didn’t wait for her answer. Instead, he let go and turned to limp through the few meters of water. Grabbing his cane, he stalked off, not looking back.

I have an anthology short story releasing March. It's titled An Affair and is on the steamy side, but for all the right reasons (Now I hope you are wondering what I mean!). I LOVED writing this short story about an older couple. It's set in the Bahamas and I enjoyed the beachy vibes. 
I LOVE making these cute teasers. I would love to hear if romance readers like them? Rather than the usual photo of people and body parts and so forth. Let me know in the comments!

📚📚📚Bookstacks...they make me burst out in 📚📚📚Bookstacks...they make me burst out in a little sweat😂. I don't buy hardcopy books anymore...got out of that habit when I lived in Tanzania and Madagascar where bookshops aren't readily available and not necessarily in English. I'm an eBook junkie and now that I live in Canada, a bit of a Libby addict. So, here is my ebook Bookstack of some of my favorite reads of 2020. I might have mentioned them before...

Here we are - DAY 18 of #newyearnewwip sorry for the delay! Just My Type releases on the 23rd of Feb and is set in The Cape, (not Cape Cod!) the Western Cape province of South Africa. I've learned today if you google vineyards, google gives you photos of Tuscany, if you google Winelands, you get photos of the Cape Winelands. I had the privilege to live here for 10 years of my life, and honestly, it is one of the most beautiful parts IN THE WORLD. Since moving to Canada and drinking Ontario wine, I've come to realize that Cape Wine is truly magnificent. So many terroirs, so many different tastes, it is actually quite amazing that they get to make so many different types of wines in such a small part of the world. South African Wine Rocks!
