You only get one chance in The Gardener's Ice Maiden #MWTease #Romance

Hello and a warm welcome to you on MidWeekTease hosted by Sandra Bunino.

Every Wednesday on MidWeekTease, authors and writers give a peep into their published work or work-in-progress. You are welcome to join us.

It is with great pleasure I share from Flirty & Feisty Romance fourth Novel - The Gardener's Ice Maiden, published in Dec 2010 for NaNoWrimo.

I wrote this book when I wondered what the outcome would be, if a skilled gardener with aspiration took on a gardening job with a dentist and decided to get into her bed and into her son's life as well.

In today's tease, Oliver Gbadeyan is on his way to attend an interview conducted by the woman his heart longs for - Olivia Gleave.

Enjoy!

Teaser -The Gardener's Ice Maiden

Oliver was agitated.

But there was no turning back from here. This was what he’d wanted for as long as he could remember. Certainly, it was his private yearning that had brought Olivia back to town. Pulling himself upright as advised by the helpful Agency staff when he’d asked for tips for a successful interview, he knocked on the imposing door.

‘Do come in,’ retorted a sexy, feminine voice from within. The sound of her voice was enough to make him fail this all important interview.

Couldn’t she just offer him this job without this grilling part? He’d never attended an interview of any kind before now, because he’d never needed to.

Walking into her fanciful, modern study full of books from the floor to the ceiling, he caught a glimpse of her sitting behind a swivel chair in the far right hand corner of the room. To her left was a widescreen, flat panel monitor. She had papers in front of her and a purple pen in her right hand.

When Olivia saw the imposing, dark-skinned figure of the man approaching her in a stunning, pale purple shirt that looked like a designer label, and a smart, dark, tailored suit, she couldn’t help herself but to rise up from her comfortable, sitting position.

His hair was styled in an African way…that was very attractive and he appeared simply too clean…too polished, too stylish, for the job she was interviewing for. Could he have walked into the wrong venue?

After speaking with four other potential employees, she was bored wondering if that was all the Agency could come up with. But then, they did fit the bill of prospective gardeners’ adequately. From their outlook to their aptitude, there wasn’t a doubt in her mind they were indeed, gardeners. Interestingly, she’d being looking for a little bit more.

Maybe, this fine looking, well-built, well-turned out man had turned up in the wrong venue for his interview. His eyes were dark and unreadable. He exuded sugar bag loads of confidence and a magnetic aura.

‘Hello. Perhaps…maybe…you’re in the wrong place…?’ she croaked, clasping her hands together.

So why was she stammering? She was the interviewer for goodness sake! Not some lily-livered job hunter!

Taking in her lovely turquoise blue, shift dress that had multi-layers from her cleavage to her hips, he didn’t miss out her long stretch of light-skinned legs in matching heels. He noted her jewelry was limited to balls of pearls and gold bracelet.

His eyes rolled over her trendy hairstyle that was different…sleek…chic. She had a quirky fringe in front just the way a lot of celebrities favoured and shoulder length, bronze hair that nestled her face perfectly.

He swallowed his saliva as he finally stood only inches away from this girl turned woman he’d had the prickle for since he was in secondary school. Extending out his hand, he responded to her stuttering question.

‘Hello, I believe you’re looking for a gardener?’ he’d instantly switched on his heavy-weight, baritone pitch just for effect.

You only get one chance in life sometimes, so why waste it?

Why should I believe you in Kiss My Lips #MidWeekTease13 #ASMSG

Welcome to another sexy round of MidWeekTease, hosted by Sandra Bunino.

On MidWeekTease, authors and writers give a peep into their published work or work-in-progress. You are welcome to join us.

I'm thrilled to announce that Kiss My Lips (Holiday Series #2) Book Cover was unveiled on Monday 13th Oct.

Kiss My Lips is a sequel to Stolen Valentine Kiss.

Kiss My Lips (Holiday Series #2) is due to be released in a couple of weeks and is on an exciting Cover Reveal Tour at the moment.

You can Pre-order Kiss My Lips (Holiday Series #1) via Amazon.

Here are the Pre-order links; Amazon.com & Amazon.co.uk

In the past few week weeks on MidWeekTease, I have shared Lorna and Logan's sensual tale from KISS MY LIPS (Holiday Series #2).

In today's tease, Logan is in a fix. Before this scene, Lorna had paid Logan an unexpected visit and she had made an unpleasant discovery.

Kiss My Lips (Holiday Series #2) - Teaser

"Listen to me, Lorna. Denise or whatever the bitch was called came into my house and into my bedroom without my knowledge." His voice trembled but his gaze was hard and piercing.

"I know I look like a fool but I'm not. Get out of my way! Do you think I care about how many whores you fill your life with? Right now, I don't!" It felt good to charge at him, to vent her hurt.

Logan recoiled, but only briefly. Shaking his head with one hand ruffling his brown hair, he cut an image of a desperate man searching for a way out of the mess that had

him buried.

"I can have any woman I want, Lorna," he shouted.

Good. Just like me, you lost your cool, Lorna almost applauded.

"I don't need to pay for sex. You're the only woman for me, the only one I want to have sex with."

Her legs trembled but she steeled her heart.

"I'll get to the bottom of this muddle, Lorna. The question is if I didn't let her into my house, who did? We've got to work it out together. I can't go through this hell alone."

For a split second, her heart fluttered at his words. "Why should I believe you?"

Lorna countered with a desolate sigh.

A light kindled in his eyes and her throat constricted.

We are getting married in Kiss My Lips #MWTease10 #Romance

Welcome to another round of sexy MidWeek Tease hosted by Sandra Bunino.

Every Wednesday on MidWeek Tease, writers and authors share a bit from their published work or work-in-progress.

I'm sharing from Kiss My Lips (A sequel to Stolen Valentine Kiss) - My W-I-P. The joyous task of editing has just started. I can't get Lorna and Logan out of my head.

Previously, you saw Logan shed a tear or two after Lorna had a run in with her dad.

In this week's scene, Lorna and Logan have a big announcement to make. But her father has other plans.

Enjoy The Teaser!

KISS MY LIPS - Teaser

(Sequel to Stolen Valentine Kiss)

"Behave yourself, Logan!" The reprimand sounded more like a sexy chant. His arms lingered on Lorna's belly, pulling her back into his arms from behind and nuzzling her neck.

A tremor ran down Lorna's spine.

Once they lifted their heads, their eyes met the inquiring gaze of her father. Aunt Nneka stood beside him. Lorna tried to wriggle free but Logan locked his arms around her waist.

"You're not going anywhere," he murmured in her ear.

Another shiver rocked her body. She went still in his arms. With discreet movement, she tried to pry his hands from her curves.

"For goodness sake, I need to act serious in front of my parents."

But Logan's fingers pinched hers and she sucked in air.

"Tell them," he drawled an impish grin on his face.

Not like this, she wanted to yell, wrapped in your arms with both of them staring at us as if we are on a romcom movie.

The look of expectation on their audience faces unnerved her. She lost her tongue for a brief second.

"Ouch!" Lorna blurted, glaring at her fiancé. He had just pinched her backside. Why does Logan keep doing that?

"Okay, we have an announcement to make," she eventually mouthed, a naughty grin splashed on her face.

Her aunt leaned on the polished, wooden kitchen counter, her eyes widening and her dad stared ahead.

Logan's fingers drifted around her ribs and she swallowed.

"Logan and I are getting married next month. We don't want to wait till December." There, she had said it.

Her father gasped!

Aunt Nneka danced.

Her dad glared at his sister. "Next month? That's not feasible!" He barked through clenched teeth.

Logan's arms on her hips stiffened, nearly snapping her waist in two.

You Cried With Me #MidWeekTease9 #MWTease #KissMyLips

Hello! Welcome to a new round of sexy MidWeek Tease hosted by Sandra Bunino.

Every Wednesday on MidWeek Tease, writers and authors share a bit from their published work or work-in-progress.

One of my current WIP - Kiss My Lips (A sequel to Stolen Valentine Kiss) is moving along so fast, I'm left gasping! The last two chapters are underway.

Last week from Kiss My Lips, you met Lorna pushing Logan to his lustful limit and putting a spin on their promise to stay sex-free before the wedding.

In this scene, Lorna has had a run in with her dad, her aunt thought it wise to intervene and Logan shows his subtle side.

Enjoy The Teaser!

KISS MY LIPS - Teaser
(Sequel to Stolen Valentine Kiss)

Aunt Nneka went to Lorna, wrapped her hands around her niece and whispered in her ears.

"I know. I love you so much, Lorna. Shhshh. Everything is going to be just fine, I promise, Lorna. I promise," she said in solemn voice.

To Lorna's shock, her father didn't challenge the accusations she had flung at him. Instead, he bowed his head and his breakfast was left untouched.

She almost asked, what happened to the man who talked tough and nearly split the table in half yesterday?

The door bell sounded.

Lorna lifted her teary face out of her aunt's arms.

"Who else are you expecting this morning? You have more surprises in store for me, auntie?"

Instead of answering the question, her aunt glanced over at her brother.

"Please get the door, Kanu. I'll quickly get changed. Make my guest welcome. Will you?"

Lorna looked from the woman rushing off to her father striding towards the front door. She plucked out tissue from her bag, wiped off streaks of wet mascara and sat on the bar stool by the kitchen island. She poured herself a glass of mango juice and was sipping the drink when her father came back with Logan in tow.

The glass slipped out of her right fingers but she rescued it with her left hand. Her stomach muscles contracted instantly. Her feet rushed ahead and she threw herself into Logan's outstretched arms.

He scented of warm balsam. She inhaled as her head rested on the hard plane of his chest wall. Pure joy leaked out of her heart, flooding her entire body. The arms holding her were all taut muscle and strength. She wrapped her arms round his silk shirt and burst into tears.

"Maybe I should leave you two," her father excused, walking in the direction of the second guest bedroom through the hallway.

Logan guided his fiancee to the sofa. He sat down and pulled her down to sit across

Emotional Logan

his thighs.

Lorna sobbed. Logan let her cry. From time to time, he wiped her face. Through her tears, she saw a tiny trickle of moisture down one lane of his cheek.

"Are you crying, Logan?" She asked, not quite sure he understood her pain. She wiped one finger over the wetness and then, she saw another small tear, drop out of his right eye.

With her face only inches from his, Lorna kissed his lips. The kiss was raw and hungry as her tongue plunged into his mouth, demanding and taking. Her nipples stiffened in her body-hugging sun yellow top.

Logan's arms crashed around her shoulders and the tough wall of his chest teased her nipples taut and she pressed her breasts into his torso. His tongue dipped into her mouth, taking control and sending flickers of burning heat through her thighs.

"Your dad and aunt are here, sweetheart. Do you want me to show them how much you mean to me?" Logan's sensible words brought her back to her aunt's living room. And she leaned her head on his forehead.

"When I saw the tear drop from your eye, fireworks exploded in my chest. You cried with me, Logan," she said in awe.

"Did I?" Logan shrugged, running one finger across her lips. "Love is a strange emotion, Lorna. Your pain is my pain and your joy is mine."

Here's the blurb for Book 1 - Stolen Valentine Kiss (Holiday Series)

One broken heart. Two grieving minds.

To Lorna Ibe, Departmental Manager with one of London's multi-channel retailers,

Valentine's Day lost its romantic flavour years ago. An unplanned holiday to New Jersey is her perfect getaway from the stress and emotional turmoil locked in her heart, just what she needs to take her mind off her troubles. That's until she runs into Logan.

Magazine publisher, Logan Blake has had his fair share of stress in the past few years. When his sister asks him to drop off old clothes to charity, he has a minor accident in front of the charity shop where Lorna volunteers. When he sets eyes on her bare midriff as she wipes the display window, he clears his busy schedule to volunteer his time. Two burdened hearts afraid to get entwined.

One Stolen Valentine Kiss. Will Valentine season bring them romance or will their fears keep them apart?

Stolen Valentine Kiss is available on Amazon and on Smashwords

I know Your Weakness #HolidaySeries #MWTease8 #Romance @WLC

Another round of sexy MidWeek Tease hosted by Sandra Bunino is here.

Every Wednesday on MidWeek Tease, writers and authors share a bit from their published work or work-in-progress.

One of my current WIP - Holiday Series Book 2 (A sequel to Stolen Valentine Kiss) is heating up nicely. I have made progress in writing (just breezed through the half way mark) yippee!

There's more good news to share with you. I have a title for Book 2 called KISS MY LIPS. What do you think?

On my previous tease from Holiday Series Book 2, you met Lorna and Logan struggling to keep their hands from each other's pants in their bid to stay sex-free before the wedding. An almost impossible situation.

This week, I want to continue with a follow-up teaser from KISS MY LIPS (A sequel to Stolen Valentine Kiss).

In this scene, Lorna's 'worried' about Logan's weaknesses. Read Logan's response.

Savour The Teaser!

KISS MY LIPS - Teaser
(Sequel to Stolen Valentine Kiss)

Logan covered her arms with his and held her gaze. "I love your spirit, you know, the way you try almost anything. Thank you."

"Hey! Stop being so sweet. I'm still searching for your weaknesses, Logan," she quipped, her gaze trekking round the restaurant. "Oh yes, how could I have forgotten one major weakness of yours?"

Logan's hand on her arm clenched, a bemused look on his face. "I'm listening," he murmured in a husky tone.

"You're easy to flirt with," Lorna replied, her eyes briefly hooded, "Which means you can get carried away when tempted by a determined woman." Her polished fingernails raked his palms and his grip tightened around her wrists.

With one look over his shoulder to check there was no waiter nearby, he whispered, his gaze unflinching.

"I'm clearly unable to resist your seductive charm, Lorna," he agreed, lifting one hand in surrender. "But no other woman, I repeat, no other woman comes close to igniting even a spark here," he pointed to his head first and then to the left side of his chest.

Underneath the table, Lorna ran her toes from his knee to his feet and back up to his knee again.

"You're my aphrodisiac, Logan. Right now, all I can think about is being thrown across your bed and driven wild with passion," her eyes glazed over as she spoke.

"If you continue teasing me, Lorna, I won't stop until I make you mine and until you scream out my name in the throes of ecstasy," Logan promised.

"Your main course," the waiter called out.
