[Anyone who follows me knows that I am a huge fan of Portia Da Costa. It was reading one her books that got me started writing erotica and erotic romance. Here's a delicious new book from Portia's pen! ~ Lisabet]
HER
LOVER’S SECRET - Portia Da Costa
Secret
Pleasures #4
When
twenty-something office worker Rachel spills wine all over herself
and a devastatingly handsome older man at her friends' wedding
reception, she little realises that it's the beginning of a
heart-stopping journey of emotional discovery. Or that the gorgeous
hunk she’s just dowsed in house red is the owner of the very
company she works for!
Lawrence
Brady is stunned to discover his state of weary ennui shattered by
the beautiful woman who upends her glass of wine all over him. Rachel
seems bold and eager for a sensual adventure… and he’s just the
man to show her new horizons, in a thrillingly intense but
short-lived no strings affair.
But
what if their fling becomes more? Will Lawrence's secret sorrow
destroy their chance of happiness and a future together? Or will
Rachel’s troubled past make it impossible for her to give her heart
to him?
Excerpt
Chapter
1
‘Oh
no! I’m ever so sorry! Your beautiful suit. Please forgive me!’
Oh
bollocks, there was splattered wine everywhere! Mainly all over her
front and surely far more than one medium glass could ever hold! Why
on earth hadn’t she stuck to champagne instead of trying the house
red?
Rachel
Harding stared up at the man she was trying to apologise to—the
tall, grey-haired, scrumptiously broad-shouldered man who was the
most stunning piece of crumpet she’d set eyes on in a long time.
Clad in an expensive-looking mid-blue linen suit, this imposing hunk
was now adorned with a selection of tasteful red blotches that
matched the ones that also decorated her own front.
But
wine or no, he was a dish to tempt all womankind. Handsome in a
weathered, slightly craggy mode, he was even more of a lure with
every second that passed. And that hair.
Under
closer scrutiny it was iron grey at the base, heavily frosted with
purest white and cut short but with a slight curl. A bit of a Roman
emperor style, which chimed well with his confident, imperial
bearing.
Uh
oh.
Luckily
most of the wine in her glass seemed to have landed on her. Her
rather nice wedding guest outfit, a rose-coloured lacy number, was a
total mess, but it was almost worth it to invoke the glorious amused
grin that lit the face of this fabulous silver fox.
‘I…
um… I’m so sorry,’ she burbled on, feeling pleasantly
gobsmacked by him. He was turning her to jelly and he hadn’t said a
word yet.
‘No,
no, no, it’s my
fault. I jogged you.’ His broadening smile revealed dazzling white
teeth. He was like an amiable, edible predator, an edifice of sexy
male pulchritude.
