Clarissa Moone is a
young, classy, impoverished art history graduate. Her life transforms
when she lands a job working for the enigmatic billionaire, Aidan
Thornhill. As the contract stipulates that she reside at his lavish
Malibu estate, Clarissa suddenly finds herself surrounded by
jaw-dropping art and opulence. A significant step up from the
run-down apartment she shares with her best friend.
Aidan
Thornhill is a self-made billionaire whose earlier start in life was
riddled with poverty and a dysfunctional upbringing. Running away
from scandal, he joins the army and works his way up to the Special
Forces. Accompanied by haunting memories, Thornhill re-enters
civilian life with a million dollars gifted to him by a dying buddy.
He travels to Europe where he develops a passion for art. And after
many astute investments, he becomes one of LA’s wealthiest
bachelors.
Voluptuous,
intelligent and sensitive, Clarissa Moone's beauty makes Aidan gasp
for air. But with a reputation that is as much invented as true, he
has to convince Clarissa that he is not a heart-breaker. Aidan
Thornhill’s movie-star looks, love of art and passionate support
for the downtrodden, soon wins Clarissa’s heart, soul, and
innocence.
After
living a life devoted to intellectual pursuits and art, being new to
love, she succumbs to her smoldering hot boss, who stops at nothing
to pleasure her, sending Clarissa off into toe-curling ecstasy.
Behind
the scenes, however, the claws are out. Determined to stir trouble,
three characters, one of whom, a spoilt heiress, do everything to
reap revenge.
With
mutual burning passion impossible to extinguish, the couple's
chemistry is so potent that their souls implode when Thornhill’s
mysterious past threatens to drive a wedge between them. The former
soldier goes into battle determined to have Clarissa even if it means
losing everything.
Excerpt
Her
stretched gaze nearly ate me alive. “Shit, Clary, he’s only the
sexiest and most eligible billionaire in LA.” Without a moment to
lose, she sprang up and tapped away on her laptop. “Come and have a
look. Shit, he’s hot.”
Aidan
Thornhill was indeed very good-looking. “He appears glum in every
shot,” I said.
Tabitha
leaned on her elbows and peered into the screen. “Hmm…the broody
type. That makes him even sexier. Wow, imagine if you get the job.”
“I
haven’t got it yet, Tabs,” I said.
“But
you might. That’s the exciting bit.”
I
sighed. “Let’s not jinx it. It’s better that way.”
“Don’t
be so negative, Clary. Remember that seminar we attended. If one
projects positive thoughts, life will deliver.”
“That’s
new-age claptrap and a recipe for disappointment. At least this way,
I’ll be ecstatic if I get it.” Standing over Tabi’s shoulder, I
checked the images of my potential boss. In each photo, he appeared
with different women, never the same one twice. “He’s got a thing
for blondes.”
“But
wait till he sees you in a bikini.” Tabitha’s voice had gone up a
decibel.
“Now
you’re being crazy. I’ll be working as a PA, not a model. I don’t
even own a bikini. And if I did, I wouldn’t be wearing it to work.”
I tilted my head. Tabitha’s mouth curled into a wide, contagious
grin. Imagining me at a computer in a bikini made us giggle.
The
sound of “La Marseillaise” blaring startled both of us. I must
change that ringtone.
While
I searched for my phone in my handbag, Tabitha was close at my heels
like an eager puppy dog. Taking a deep breath, I pressed the button.
“Hello.”
About
the Author
Fifty Shades of Grey, was the first contemporary romance book I’d ever read. Up to that point, I’d spent my entire reading life buried in literature.
But
then, one day, I picked up Fifty Shades of Grey and couldn’t put it
down. Impressed by their heart-felt, down to earth portrayal of love
and sex, I quickly developed a voracious appetite for contemporary
romance books. I was so inspired by the genre that I decided to
explore that world as a writer.
After
completing a certificate in Writing Romance with the Australian
College of Journalism I embarked on writing three books. All of which
are still sitting on my computer.
Then
Aidan Thornhill entered my imagination and came alive on paper. From
that moment, like all emotional love stories, nothing else mattered.
I fell in love. And was compelled to write, almost in a frenzy, every
day without fail. I am presently working on my latest novel – The
Importance of Being Wild.
NOTE:
The book
is on
sale for
only $0.99.
