Synopsis
23-year-old aspiring artist Sophie Walker can think of no
better place than the exotic paradise of the Maldives Islands to escape the
wrath of her controlling parents, the monotony of her boring legal work and her
passionless boyfriend. With her two best friends along for the ride and to help
her find herself again, Sophie is not prepared for the enigmatic Clayton
Sinclair. Clayton comes from another world of privilege that seems like a
fantasy to Sophie. Can this
man introduce her to the passion & seduction she never realized she was
desperately searching for? Sophie quickly becomes ensnared in Clayton's
seductive web until a shocking treachery makes her question her judgment and
actions
Clayton
CEO
Oil,
deep water drilling, and maritime transportation
Cool,
confident, intelligent, successful, and always the center of attention- and not
to mention extremely attractive. He knows exactly what he wants out of life and
how he's going to get it and others can’t help but be drawn by his boldness and
charisma. His good looks and charm makes him a highly sought after lover and he
knows it. However, he can be controlling and demanding at times which can be
hard on relationships.
Excerpt
“I
told you, Sophie. I don’t share. And I don’t do games. And I especially don’t
do jealousy.”
Well
shit, he certainly seems jealous to me. Right?
“You
could have fooled me.”
I
can’t believe I just said that. Talk about uttering some bold shit. Even
Clayton seems surprised by my words. I see it for a split second before his
eyes turn cloudy and guarded. I’ve managed to pull my hand from his and back a
bit away from him, hoping to gain some distance from the towering god. The
angry, towering god, I might add.
“You’re
right.”
At
first I don’t think I’ve heard him correctly because honestly, it’s the last
thing in the world I’d expect him to admit to me, but he does. Before I can
even have a second to be happy about that revelation, he starts to stalk me. I
back away from him until I’m cornered against a wall with nowhere to go. He
leans into me, hands on both sides of my head, trapping any possible exit I
could make.
“You’re
absolutely right, Sophie. And it’s a first for me. A fucking first. And I’ve
decided I don’t like the feeling at all.”
I
lose my stomach. I feel a rush of excitement move through my body. I can barely
breathe. He’s never been jealous before? I try not to smile in giddy pleasure.
“So
what now?” I whisper. He smiles darkly at my innocent question.
“So
now I’m going to find out why the hell I’m so drawn to you. I’m going to see if
you taste as good as you look.”
