Hello everybody! Thank you for stopping by to read
about my new release Let It Burn…
Blurb
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!
