And now for today's Sunday Smooch from ........

The Love Deception is my third novel with Destiny Romance. It combines legal intrigue, courtroom drama and a dash of exotic Barbados.

When Felicity Carter wakes up naked in a strange bed, she has no idea how she got there. And no recollection of meeting the gorgeous man calmly offering her breakfast. Felicity flees – hoping that their paths never cross again.
 The last thing she expects is to discover that her mystery man is Damon Fullbright, partner at the law firm where Felicity has just started work – and her new boss! 
Damon is appalled to find the out-of-control young woman he rescued has been hired to work on his team. Apart from anything else, he doesn't need the distraction of a hot blonde with a barrel-full of issues. But one-by-one, Felicity blows all Damon’s preconceptions out of the water. When Felicity explosively reveals her dreadful secret, will he risk his reputation and trust her to discover the truth?

Scene set-up: [Damon and Felicity have just found a vital piece of evidence which will help the case against Felicity's father.]

Kiss Scene  

‘I need to say something important before all hell breaks loose,’ she said.

‘What?’

‘Thank you.’ She kissed him lightly. ‘You believed in me when no one else did.’

He caught her around the waist. ‘You’re welcome. But my services are very expensive. One little kiss doesn’t even pay for the pens on my desk.’ 

He pulled her hips in close to his body. Heat raged up her thighs and settled, hot and heavy and luscious, between her legs.

‘What does this pay for?’ She ran her fingers though his hair before she pulled his lips to hers and kissed him long and deep.

‘You’ve covered half the phone bill,’ he said in a ragged voice.

She smiled and ran her finger softly down his cheek. ‘Only half?’ she asked in a Marilyn Monroe whisper.

‘I know a way that can strike thousands from the bill.’

‘Show me.’

He scooped her into his arms, strode into the bedroom and laid her across the bed.

‘I’ll need you a little closer if I’m ever going to rid myself of this terrible debt,’ she said, reaching for him.

He grabbed her hand. ‘Stop.’

She sat bolt upright. ‘What?

‘You’re not going to accuse me of sexual harassment?’ His eyes blazed with passion but his touch was all business. ‘You’re still my employee.’

She pulled free of his grasp and walked to the small desk in the living room. He followed, curious. She found a pen and paper and scribbled a few words.

‘Does this help?’ she said, handing him the page.

‘What’s this?’

‘My resignation.’

He glanced at the words. The page fluttered to the floor. He grabbed her hand and hauled her back into the bedroom.
