Hello everybody! Thank you for stopping by to
read about my new release
Let It Burn…
Sometimes one person can make you question
everything you thought you wanted.
Lydia James is a struggling scriptwriter with
big dreams. She's determined to conquer the movie world, and equally determined
to stay out of the limelight while she does it. So what happens when she meets
Ryan Sharpe, a British actor and Hollywood's next big thing? He could hold the
keys to her future, but with him, flying under the radar doesn't seem to be an
option.
Ryan has learned his lesson when it comes to
women. In his experience, relationships mean heartache and pain. But when he
meets Lydia, everything changes. She's a breath of fresh air, and everything he
didn't even know he was looking for. There's just one problem—she doesn't want
to be a part of his life. Will a weekend in Saint-Tropez give Ryan the
opportunity he needs to win Lydia's heart, or will their desires turn to ashes?

Excerpt
"So what is it about the party
that you're so desperate to avoid, Lydia James?"
She sucked a breath in and blew it
out slowly. She didn't miss Ryan's eyes flickering to her breasts as her chest
heaved. They lingered there for a moment.
"Honestly, I'm totally out of
my depth." She paused, wondering how much he would actually want to know
and how much would just be a rant. She decided to go for it anyway. "I'm a
writer. Or at least, I want to be. I have a story…a script. I also have an
agent who brought me here to make connections. That's what he said anyway,
but…he's been hinting that he expects to get something out of this, if you get
what I mean."
"Ah."
"Yeah. Obviously, I would never
do that. But how the hell do I get out of this? Do you have any idea how hard
it is to get an agent?" She remembered who she was talking to. "Of
course you do." And then she looked at him again—he probably had exclusive
rights to Hollywood based on his jaw-dropping good looks. Even mere mortals
like directors and producers bowed down to gods. "So my problem is how do
I get out of this without him blackening my name forever?"
Ryan's face had been a picture of
amusement since the moment he'd turned on the light. But suddenly something far
more dangerous danced in his eyes, although he was obviously struggling to hide
it. A thrill shocked her whole body before finally settling in her lower
abdomen.
"The damage has been
done," Ryan said. His voice was slow and tight. "You can kiss your
agent goodbye. Not literally though. I'm afraid the industry is rife with
people like that, and if he doesn't take you seriously now, then no offense,
but no amount of sexual favors are going to change his mind."
The blush that had colored her
cheeks earlier was nothing compared to the heat that filled them under Ryan's
angry gaze. Her skin was suddenly so hot that it made her eyes water. She felt
dirty and ashamed, and she hadn't even done anything. Jesus, she wouldn't have
even dreamed of doing anything with that man out there.
"I already knew that," she
snapped. "I came in here to get away. But how do I… Whatever I do now I'll
offend him."
The anger in Ryan's face melted away
enough for mischief to creep in. He stood up, walking over to her in a slow,
deliberate way that had her heartbeat doing the exact opposite. She pressed her
back against the door as he approached. He was even more captivating up close.
A tiny corner of her consciousness worried about what he intended to do while
the rest of her screamed approval at all of the naughty things racing through
her mind.
But of course, she wasn't in a fairy
tale, and heartbreakingly handsome actors didn't kiss lowly dreamers like
herself. He stopped short, his perfectly sculpted lips moving to breathe in her
ear rather than meet her own. Lydia let her eyes flicker closed, his
intoxicating, spicy scent threatening to turn her into a puddle at his feet.
"If the only man who could make
your career is about to drop you, then there's only really one thing to
do."
"What's that?" Lydia
managed to croak, painfully aware of how close she was to touching heaven.
"Make sure everybody else knows
your name."

About Author
I have always believed that the best stories are the ones that you can't put down, the ones that transport you to a different place and make you believe in the characters. This is exactly why I write… I have always loved the escapism that reading and writing provides, and there is nothing more exciting than imagining your own set of characters, and then letting them practically write the story for you. Writing has always been a dream of mine, and I'm lucky to have the kind of people around me that have always nurtured and encouraged my passion.
I live a cozy little life in Wales, and when I'm not writing I'm taking care of my young family, and studying for a degree in Classical Studies. I love traveling to new places, meeting new people, and experiencing new things…it's all great inspiration for my books!
