Excerpt
♡♡
Sucking in air,
she faced him. ''Don't make me send you home for bad behaviour, Logan Blake.''
He chuckled. ''Have dinner with me tonight, Lorna.''
Her heart frog jumped. ''You're joking right?''
He shrugged, grinning at her, thawing her tough as leather heart pouch. ''I can
take you home for you to get changed.''
Too stunned at his invitation, she carried on with work. "We've got to check the paper
roll and ribbon, so that when we print receipt...'' With one hand on top of hers, Logan forced her to stare at him. ''I need an answer.''
Unbelievable
warmth surged through her arms, flowed unstopped to her heart, washing away
years of grief...making her eyes fly at half mast and her heart hammer within
her chest wall.
His arched
eyebrows and his enticing clear blue eyes captured her senses, holding
her
still. Her mouth opened, no words came out. She gulped air. Very slowly, his head descended. Will he kiss her? Should she allow him? Reasonable questions raced
through her stumbling mind.
Stop him, her head sang.
Taste him before you decide, her
heart cried out.
When her knees hit the edge of the wooden table housing the till, she walked
free. ''No...I can't. My Aunt is expecting me for dinner.'' She excused,
rushing to the kitchenette. Following closely behind, he suggested, ''Dine with me tomorrow, please?''
Halting her getaway, she faced him. ''Why? I'm not interested in starting a
relationship.'' With stiff movements, she made coffee for two.
''Who said anything about a relationship?'' he frowned, his tone turning harsh.
''I'm too busy to engage in a relationship. You interest me. It's only dinner,
Lorna.''
She saluted. ''That's
reassuring. After dinner, your interest in me will wane and we can concentrate
on working together instead of dinning out?''
''Is that a yes?'' he entreated, sipping from his mug.
''Shouldn't you be taking your girlfriend out to dinner?'' his mouth grew
compact as he swallowed his drink. ''Leave out the girlfriend bit. We're only
going to chat, eat and drink.''
''Aren't you
worried she'll come up to us and throw a tantrum? I don't do scenes well. They
freak me out.''
''If I had one, then I'll be worried.''
Should she believe him? ''One more
question, is there any reason you're still single?''
One hand in his pocket, his eyes searched hers. ''Did I say I was single?'' her
hands flew to his fingers. No rings.
''Married?'' she quizzed, her head whirling fast.
''Never been married. Not ready. Don't ask when I'll be ready. Any more
question, I'll freak out! Save your questions for dinner.''

Bio
I am Stella Eromonsere-Ajanaku, a fun loving
mother of two, married to my very own gorgeous alpha male. I recently 'retired'
from an eighteen year stint working as a Quality Assurance Manager. Writing romance
novels is an exciting adventure. In
2010, I created Flirty & Feisty
Romance Novels. There are six contemporary romance novels in the kitty, varying
from sweet & sensual to spicy hot & steamy - LOITERING SHADOWS,
STORMY DEFENSE, BEYOND the LADY, THE GARDNER'S ICE MAIDEN, SPARKLING DAWN and
HUSBAND to RENT. STOLEN VALENTINE KISS is my first series and my first Novella.
On my writing desk at the moment, my first
historical romance, a trilogy is taking shape. A daunting challenge I must
confess, but I love the characters and their journey so far. In my leisure
time, I go swimming, read romance novels, go to Cinema, and watch TV.
