Where Happy Ever Afters Rule

May 9, 2018

Perfect Mistake

Simone Levin had a dream job as a safari pilot until an unexpected pregnancy clipped her wings. Tired of juggling motherhood with her demanding flight schedule, Simone applies for an office job, unaware that her new boss is Carlo Carlevaro, the man who’d ditched her before finding out he’d knocked her up. Carlo returns to East Africa only to kill another fire—Ivory trafficking from his lodges threatens to destroy his company. Finding Simone back on the payroll comes as a pleasant surprise. As his employee, Simone is off-limits, but she is the only one he trusts to help with his undercover investigation. With time running out, Simone and Carlo strive to expose the trafficking ring, but working together rekindles their mutual desire. When Simone is implicated as a trafficker, revealing her daughter’s existence to Carlo seems inevitable. Acting on her instincts might come too late as the syndicate retaliate and hone in their threat. Will they survive to give their love a chance?

 

 “I rarely tell my blog readers “READ THIS BOOK!” But I’m telling you all…READ THIS BOOK! The subject and characters are unique, the pacing quick, the relationship heartfelt, and the writing fantastic. Perfect Mistake is going on my Best of 2018 list.” E-Reader Addict
“Perfect Mistake is a perfect lazy afternoon read. The imagery of the book is breathtaking and the emotions intense! A must read for second chance romance lovers!” Guilty Pleasures Book Reviews
“The characters were great, the writing was good, and the plot pretty good. There was so much to enjoy about this book. It is so worth reading not only for the drama but the characters. I can’t wait to see what this author does next.” United Indie Book Blog

Excerpt:

Carlo pushed away from the doorframe, took a few steps towards them and stuck out his hand. A sharp pinch from Michael snapped her out of her flustered state, and she offered hers. Carlo’s hand was cool and dry, sending a tremor through her as he wrapped it around hers.

“Simone.”

“Mr…Carlevaro.” She cleared her throat as he let go. She couldn’t help but rub her sweaty palm against her jeans. Touching his cool skin had felt like a disgrace.

“I’m glad you’ve finally arrived.” Carlo’s gaze traveled over her face. It rested on her lips for a moment before it shot back to her eyes. “I want to take off in the next thirty minutes.”

Simone’s heart, which had, for those treacherous few seconds, stood still, started to pound.

“I just landed from a long-haul flight. I’d like to take a quick shower.”

Carlo raised an eyebrow. “A quick shower?” His gaze traveled over her body, mapping the route the water would take.

God, he remembered.

Heat rushed to her cheeks at the potent memories that flooded in her mind. Years ago they had shared many showers that were everything but quick.

DAY 11 of #newyearnewwip is Daily Weekly Writing S DAY 11 of #newyearnewwip is Daily Weekly Writing Schedule... I'm not sure how much writing is going to happen this week but I got my final edits back for Just My Type last night. Very excited to wrap this baby up so that I can move on to something else. I've never written multiple projects at a time, I think I'm going to cross over into that territory this month, as I have sooo much writing to do... Is this the moment when this sh*t gets real? GAH!

This is a thing! I love to binge TV shows so I put that off until I see a gap where I can zone out until a series is done. I also love planning holidays, given that this was my first ever paid occupation, and yes, dreaming of the day we can travel again!

This quote applies to many things, but writing a book is definitely like this, and then once it's done I'm not sure how it happened.🤷🏼‍♀️

DAY 6 of New Year New WIP: Writing Goals for Janua DAY 6 of New Year New WIP: Writing Goals for January 2021! 
I had to go look at what my 2021 Goals were... 😂
Well, I think I've found a home for the Smutilicious Yours to Ruin - my aim for this week is to submit the first 30 pages and synopsis. If this baby finds its wings, I'd be soo happy! 
For the rest I need to work on Marketing my new release for the 23rd of Feb, and still waiting in anticipation for the final edits so that I can wrap it all up in a pretty little bow and get it 'publish ready'. 🎀🎀🎀
For the rest, my head is churning and plotting. Making butter, so to speak.
