DAMN! is she for real?. is she even a proper character? if I met a woman like Scarlet I may have died if I can read her mind, you know its such a waste that the story was really interesting but it most part goes on and on about the internal battle and what so ever of Scarlet.

After a whirlwind marriage to Greek billionaire Angolos Constantine, Georgie was pregnant - and was sure Angolos would be delighted. Instead, he told her to "go away and never come back." So that was exactly what she did. Angolos has never seen his son - until now! In fact, Angolos Constantine di...
Even when they clashed—actually collided—it seemed as if there was a connection there. Why wouldn’t he stop looking at her? Did he feel something too? Was there something more to this than she’d thought? ‘No! It’s just physical.’ It’s only sex and it will go away when he does, which hopefully wil...
Over that time the sex stayed incredible but Anna was tortured by the knowledge that, for him at least, it would burn itself out and she was constantly alert to the signs, preferring to jump before she was pushed. That way she would be left with memories and a modicum of p...
CHAPTER FIVEADAM turned the corner and found himself at the end of a long queue of cars. ‘This is the sort of thing I was supposed to have left behind in the city.’ He glanced impatiently at his wristwatch.Jessica laid a pacific red-nailed hand on his arm and smiled sympathetically. ‘Poor darling...
It was the maybe not part that bothered her! Anyone would think she was anxious to see him. The message relayed by Mrs Nichols during breakfast was that he’d like to see her in the pool in forty-five minutes. That had happened forty-eight minutes ago, according to her watch. Despite the fact she ...
She’d always felt completely at ease here in Liam’s home and this abrupt transition to self-conscious edginess was hard to come to terms with. She walked over to the far wall which was almost completely glazed. She looked out blindly towards the great view of the river. The same view could be enj...
Her head felt as though it might well explode.‘That wine should carry a warning.’ The not unsympathetic response to her visible discomfort came from a point not too far from her left ear.If her head hadn’t felt so fragile she’d have nodded in rueful agreement. ‘If I go so far as to look at that s...
Her light waterproof jacket cut out the worst of it, but her nose felt distinctly pink as she strode sure-footedly over the hillside. Bishop’s Crag was a well-known landmark; it was the highest point for several miles around. She knew the spot well, but it had been years since she’d been here. Sh...
He subjected her to another glare of biting derision before abruptly firing a quick sentence in Spanish at his companion who immediately extinguished the light. For a moment there was total inky darkness. Kate, her brain working frantically, began to speculate on her chances of getting to the doo...
‘Don’t worry, Ben; Rachel explained about your emergency. We’ve been well looked after.’ ‘I’m sure you have.’ Rachel’s eyes slid self-consciously away from the dark, ironic gaze. ‘I’ll see you all after lunch, gentlemen,’ she said with a smile as she got to her feet. ‘It’s a working lunch; I thin...
‘In it…?’ ‘As in what would he get out of it?’ Luc looked into her bewildered face and laughed. ‘You thought he’d do it out of the goodness of his heart.’ His mobile lips lifted cynically at the corners. ‘You really never have met Lucas Patrick, have you?’ ‘And unlike you I’d prefer not to bad-mo...
On autopilot, she stepped over the wet shirt and jacket on the floor and whispered hoarsely, ‘Oh, God!’ Her agitated comment went unheard because her guest, his dark head cushioned against the wing-back armchair, was asleep. Deeply asleep. Deeply asleep and half naked, the upper half. Thank God f...
He saw Nicola standing there and frowned. ‘I said have her ready for seven.’ Nicola glanced at her watch. ‘It’s only a quarter after.’ ‘The clock is still ticking. How long does it take to cut a woman’s hair and put her in some clothes? I would have thought…’ He broke off and frowned as the intru...
But his plans had now changed. The adrenaline that had been dumped in his bloodstream when he’d recognised the slim woman walking up the aisle was still making him buzz, and, conscious of the fine tremor in his fingers, he pushed his hands deep into the pockets of his well-cut trousers. She had b...
Finn responded absently, totally failing to detect the irony in his wife’s bitter tone.Dinner parties weren’t a high priority with him at that particular moment. Sorting out his wife’s health problems were.He’d been in a state of frustrated anxiety ever since he’d received the urgent call from th...
‘The notice on the door was a nice touch.’ ‘Is everything all right, Dad?’ ‘Fine.’ He reached out a hand to ruffle her hair but Josie got to her feet ‘She’s available; I checked.’ Draco looked down, not so very far now. Over the past ten months his daughter had grown ten inches and had gone from ...
‘You can use the landline to leave that message about your change of plans.’ ‘My plans haven’t changed.’ Maggie found herself protesting to his back. She was presuming they were expected because as his feet hit the gravel people started to appear. Presumably, she thought sourly, to respond to the...
‘You won’t see him.’ That assurance was the only reason she was here—that and Ramon’s promise of a ride on a pure-bred Arab, which she had been unable to resist. Though she’d managed to do so until Ramon, correctly interpreting her reluctance, had promised his brother would not be there. ‘So ther...
But was it the excitement of what he offered her with the temples, or the thrill of knowing that with one word she would share his bed again? No. She would not do so. Could not. “Not everything we want is good for us,” she said. “Bacon double cheeseburgers with chili-cheese fries, for instance. A...
It did not take a genius to figure out what she was thinking. ‘Relax. This is a simple misunderstanding … a mistake …’ he soothed, making eye contact and experiencing a flicker of shock as he registered the quite extraordinary colour of her wide long-lashed eyes. Extraordinary enough to make him ...
Her eyes flickered briefly to the discarded tie casually flung over the back of his chair and his elbows planted on the table. The steel had gone from his spine and the scorn from his expression as he slouched elegantly in his chair.This was Luca with the charm and vigour but minus the snootiness...
The lull lengthened into a silence as people absorbed the details of the new arrival’s appearance.Tall enough to be obliged to duck his head to avoid collision with the top of the doorjamb, the dark-haired figure who stood framed in the doorway appeared utterly oblivious to the stares directed hi...
Who took my clothes off?’ Hannah felt the bed give as Ethan sat down on it. ‘Me.’ ‘I suppose you were there when I was sick too.’ Could this humiliation get any worse? she wondered glumly. ‘Yes.’ ‘Oh, God!’ she moaned ‘I want to die.’ ‘You mentioned that too. Life will probably look more appealin...
I don’t care any more, she told herself firmly as the constricting waves of emotion rose to suffocate her. She had no intention of wallowing in self-pity even though the temptation was strong. She started as Callum held the door open for her; she hadn’t noticed him get out of the car. ‘Thank you,...
She had the timing down to a fine art and, as she had learnt, unforeseen delays could mean she missed her connection and got home even later. The unforeseen delay this evening was Rafael’s tall blonde PA stroke mistress. On two occasions since she had started here Libby had caught glimpses of her...
‘You value? ‘ She parroted the words like someone speaking a foreign language. Emilio nodded and framed her face between his long brown fingers, smoothing the strands of hair spread around her face from her brow. ‘I am your first.’ The sheer impossibility of it still shook him. ‘Do you know how t...
‘Rowena’s sister, eh? A fine-looking girl, Rowena.’ His eyes lit up as he thought about Holly’s sister. ‘Extraordinarily fine. You’re not a bit like her.’ He looked benignly around, obviously expecting his view to be endorsed. Several totally unrelated conversations broke out simultaneously to co...
Still wearing pyjamas, she padded barefoot through to the kitchen and put on a pot of coffee. She still felt fragile but a hundred times better than the previous day. Yesterday her nose had been red, not pink. Yesterday she wouldn’t have been able to smell the brewing coffee which filled the tiny...
She looked close to collapse, which was hardly surprising: ill health, losing a husband and son so recently had already taken its toll. He feared this was one blow too many. ‘I do not want to rest, Raul!’ Aria Carreras cried fretfully, pushing aside the blanket he had pulled across her legs. ‘Do ...
