Synopsis:
What
if with one choice you could change your whole life in a matter of
seconds? Aston Boyd has always put everything into her work. She has
never needed anyone in her life and has survived on her own since she
was 18, never looking back. When she gets her dream promotion and
becomes the new editor at one of the biggest publishing houses in
Arizona, she thinks she has finally figured it all out. But, when Aston
receives an invitation to her first love's wedding, she starts to
re-evaluate just how much she has given up for her career. With a
mission in mind to try and win back the one she let go, she never took
in to consideration that what she might need, or even want, could be
right in front of her. Will she be willing to put her heart out there
to get back the life she could have had, or will she try for something
new? Sloan Holden is the quintessential bad boy trying to cover all
that up with his good boy act. He has spent the last 9 years trying to
prove to his over bearing father that he can change his ways, and one
day run his publishing house. The only thing standing in his way is the
slew of fast women and his wild lifestyle, which he just can't seem to
give up. He doesn't do relationships and always vowed to stay single
forever. A lot can change when the one person you thought you would
never fall for worms their way into your heart, but will the feelings be
returned?

Misguided Heart Teaser!!!
Once we reached the
door to our room, he quickly slid the card into the slot to open the
door. The moonlight was streaming through the long blinds, highlighting
his naturally tan skin. I pulled back to catch my breath just as he
ripped his shirt up and over his head. I slowly and deliberately licked
my bottom lip at what I saw. Abercrombie models had nothing on this man.
I pulled my bottom lip in between my teeth, biting down hard.
The things I wanted to do to this man were standing at attention in the
forefront of my mind. Sloan’s glistening pecks caught my attention as he
stalked his way towards me. I hadn’t realized that I had stopped in the
doorway and was still standing there, staring.
EXCERPT
“Can I help you Mr. Holden?
“Ah, so we're back to Mr. Holden, huh? Can't we just go back to you just calling me by my name and not my fathers?”
“Um, no sorry. I think it's safer to stick with Mr. Holden.”
“Well it probably is but you know, he is a married man.” He winked.
“Ha ha, very funny. How long have you been working on that one?”
“Oh Ms. Boyd I love our little bantering sessions lately. I have to say, they do make my day a little bit easier.”
Don't
look at his eyes! Do not look at his eyes. You stupid bitch you're
looking at his eyes. His eyes were more of a honey color today and just
as mesmerizing as any other day. I wanted to run my tongue along his
neck and chest, stopping at his nipples for just a minute and then
continue on down his body. I wanted to take his long length into my-
4-
I couldn't help but be a voyeur to the little act being played out in
front of me. I wanted to see how she would react to him. I needed more
than anything to know if she spent her time thinking about me as much as
I thought about her. As a bright smile hit her face, my heart literally
plummeted to my toes. My eyes scanned the crowd for her so-called
friends, but didn't see any of them on the dance floor. His hands
wrapped tightly around her hips and my fingers tightened into fists.
I
tried with all of my might, to look away but it wasn't happening. She
was no longer facing me; her face was now merely inches in front of his.
I prepared myself for the worst and downed the shot of Patron in front
of me. The guy, whose name I think was Auggie, was quite a bit bigger
than me. Not that I couldn't hold my own, I have been boxing since I was
10, but he was still pretty big in comparison. A little bit of liquid
courage was called for when I hadn't fought for a woman in, well,
forever it would seem.
5- "You better come in the next
two seconds or I am ripping your skirt from your body and bending you
over this desk. Don't toy with me Aston."
6- “Okay, send
it in.” I waved my hand and went back to the thick stack of paper in my
hands. A huge bouquet of roses caught my eye, followed by another and
another. Ten dozen roses sat randomly around my office. Every inch of
surface was covered in vases full of pink, violet, yellow, white and
red. A smile threatened to touch the edge of my mouth, but vanished as I
searched for the card that came along with them. My hopes were high and
pulling for Sloan. I was giddy and bouncing on the balls of my feet as I
read the card out loud.
