Sinfully
Summer

SUN,
SEA AND SCANDAL
Notorious
heiress Alexa Green has certainly been enjoying her most recent
girls-holiday in Marbella. Just as we thought, she’s been knocking
back the cocktails and showing off her fabulous bikini body on the
beach… but rumour has it she’s also been spotted sneaking out of
Enrique Castillo’s penthouse in the early hours of this morning –
in nothing but her underwear! Our question is, doesn’t this
fiercely private billionaire know what he’s letting himself in for?
He’s
got the millions… and she knows how to spend them! So lie back on
your sun lounger and get comfortable, because this summer fling is
going to be a sizzler!
Adrenaline
roared through her veins. This was her only chance. Pushing away from
the wall, she rounded the lift, desperately seeking an escape. She
barely noticed the plush furnishings, soft-looking leather sofas and
floor to ceiling window which showcased the most spectacular view
she’d ever seen. Instead she focused on the walls surrounding the
elevator.
‘Are
you lost?’
The
heavily accented voice froze her to the spot. She darted a glance
toward the sound. Dark brows furrowed over the richest coloured eyes
she’d seen. His gaze swept over the length of her body, then up,
lingering on her rear for a beat too long. Her skin tingled under his
scrutiny.
Turning
her whole body to face him, she slapped a hand on her hip. ‘Had a
good enough look?’
His
lips quirked in a sexy, lopsided grin. The jitters were back and
Alexa swore the temperature in the room shot up ten degrees. Her gaze
dropped to his broad shoulders, covered in a thin white t-shirt, then
down to a well filled chest. She could see a dark pattern beneath the
t-shirt. She longed to find out what kind of tattoo he had. Usually,
tats didn’t do it for her. But on that body…
‘I
could ask you the same thing.’
She
snapped her attention back to his face. He stepped toward her, his
jaw set, his eyes dancing with humour and something darker…something
that made her blood heat and her mouth water.
Alexa
raised her arm, palm out. ‘Hold it there, Mr. Any closer and I’ll
scream.’
He
paused by the sofa. Propping his hip against the cream leather, he
folded his arms across his chest, causing the muscles to bulge. The
moisture drained from her mouth and flooded in her belly.
‘No
one’s here to hear you.’ He cocked a brow. ‘You seem to be
forgetting where you are and,’ his gaze dipped down to her breasts
causing the nipples to peak against the lacy fabric ‘how
underdressed.’
Alexa
thought this moment would have topped the blush scale. She planted
her other hand on her hip and glared at him, unwilling to show any
weakness. ‘I’m just leaving.’
She
turned and strode back to the lift, keeping her back straight and
trying not to wiggle her hips too much. The predatory sheen in his
eyes made her body more jittery than the idea of sprinting around the
lower floor in her underwear. She reached out to hit the button, but
a large hand circled her wrist before she made it.
Alexa
squeaked and darted back a step. He was so close, and his chest was
right in her face. She could see the dark outline of the tattoo
beneath the thin cotton. The outline of a burning sun, she thought,
or something that looked like a sun. Her hands itched to lift the
material and see for herself.
‘I’m
up here.’
She
snapped her gaze back up to his smirking face and took another step
back. His lips kicked up at the corners and his eyes darkened. She
swallowed against the urge to step closer, to feel his hard body
pressed against hers. But she realised she was in little more than
her bra and knickers in a stranger’s home. Unease skittered down
her spine.
Alexa
squared her shoulders, trying to quash the fear turning her heated
blood into cold sludge. ‘I’m leaving now.’
‘After
you explain what you’re doing in my home in your undergarments.’
‘Undergarments?’
Alexa pressed her lips together to keep a giggle at bay. ‘Seriously?’

About
me (snooze—can you tell I hate the me stuff? Lol)
For
as long as I can remember, I've had a good book in my hands. In
primary school I loved Roald Dahl. In high school my English teacher
introduced me to Charles Dickens, Stephen King, Jane Austin, Emily
Bronte, and Shakespeare. It was then that I discovered my love for
romance and I've wanted to pen my own imaginary heroes and heroines
for others to enjoy ever since. Only in the last few years was I
lucky enough to meet some fabulous and encouraging people to help me
gain the skills to make that dream possible.
I
live in sunny Scotland in a small town near the Ochils and work nine
to five in a solicitors office. In my free time, you'll find me on
Facebook, stalking *cough* following friends on Twitter, and may even
catch me shoe shopping.

Review: What happens when opposites come together, fighting a tingling passion neither of them cares to admit?
Meet Alexa and Ric. The pair couldn't be any more different. Caught after a dare, Ric takes Alexa under his wing and requests her help. Now they work side by side, and they must get used to one another. Alexa is much more free spirited, and her tabloid past keeps haunting her, which jeopardizes Ric's business.
I love the way Ms. Duffy creates characters that normally wouldn't be together, but unforseen circumstances bring them together, such as the case in Sinfully Summer. I love the way Alexa and Ric bring out something in the other, helping them to bond. The author's books are always light and refreshing, with witty dialogue, memorable characters that are well rounded, have their flaws, and are believable. I always come away feeling good after reading one of Aimee Duffy's stories, and I can always come back for a hot, sweet, and fun read.
I recommend Sinfully Summer if you're looking for a sizzling story may very well draw you in from first page to last. Come on, you know you want to. Get your copy today.
