Young interior designer Ava O’Shea has an appointment for a first consultation at The Manor with the owner, Mr Jesse Ward. She is expecting nothing more than an overweight, cravat wearing, well-to-do countryman, and on arrival, nothing would suggest otherwise. How wrong could she be? This Man is devastatingly handsome, charming and confident. He is also a conceited, hedonistic playboy, who knows no boundaries. Ava desperately does not want to be attracted to him, but she can’t control the overwhelming affect he has on her. Every instinct is telling her to run, so she does, but Jesse Ward is not so willing to let her go. He wants her and is determined to have her. She knows she is heading for heartbreak, but how can she run when he won’t let her?

    You’re the best everything cure.’
  • Marian Alexiahas quoted3 years ago
    His hand disappears under my towel, clasping me above my hip bone, prompting a jerk and the loosening of my towel.

    ‘My man!’

    I look down the path and see Sam walking up. When I return my eyes to Jesse, he looks like he may, very well, have a seizure now. His eyes are wide as he jumps to his feet and yanks me up, doing a spectacular job of keeping me covered by the towel.

    ‘Sam, don’t fucking move!’ he yells. I’m scooped up and bundled through the door at breakneck speed, hearing Sam laughing as Jesse jogs up the stairs with me in his arms, muttering about ripping prying eyes out. I’m tossed on the bed. ‘Get dressed, we’re going out.’
  • Marian Alexiahas quoted3 years ago
    She spins around, her blue eyes dancing, her pale cheeks flushed. ‘Do you know anything about this?’

    Me? ‘Why would I?’

    ‘I just got home and it was parked here. I admired it for a bit, walked through the front door and trod on the keys. Look.’ She thrusts the keys under my nose, prompting me to look at the note attached to a piece of string on the key ring.

    ‘No more bruised butts, please.’

    No! He wouldn’t have, surely? I think back to his fierce reaction to my battered bottom.

    ‘Have you spoken to Sam?’ I ask.

    ‘Yep, he said I should speak to Jesse.’

    ‘Why would he say that?’ I ask shortly.

    ‘Well, obviously, because he thinks Jesse is the mystery van buyer.’ She rolls her eyes. ‘If the Lord has brought me a van so you don’t bruise your arse again, then I’ll…well, I’ll love the fact that you bruise like a peach!’
