Excerpt from Dangerous Beauty

Stephanie looked up and down the vision of womanliness that sat across the table from her and knew that she needed to unburden her problem. The flickering flame of the candle on the restaurant table reflected in Jess’ eyes and she sensed that Jess was now looking into her very soul. Although the hotel restaurant was not busy, Stephanie hushed her voice to avoid being overheard as she imparted her news.

“It’s complicated, Jess, but I’ve fallen in love with a man I know I cannot have.”

“How so? I can’t imagine anyone being out of your league.”

“Maybe not, but he’s married.”

“Ahh…”

“The worst thing is that I know he loves me too. It’s serious. But I also know it’s impossible for him to be with me. His wife must suspect something’s wrong, as she arranged for him to be moved in his job back to the US where she lives and works.”

Stephanie’s thoughts began to drift as she imagined the feel of Rick Martin’s hands on her body; the feel of his mouth against hers, and the hardness of his body as he pressed against her and entered her.

Why, oh why, couldn’t things have stayed as they were? Rick and I should be together forever. There must be a way…

“I take it divorce isn’t on the cards then?” questioned Jess. “Just how serious is he, or is he just playing you along?”

“If only it were that easy. He’s a senior manager in his company, and his wife is also one of the high-ups. He’s got responsibilities, respect, and standing. A messy divorce and very public showdown wouldn’t be a great career move.”

“That’s not everything in life. You know that.”

“And what can I offer him, Jess? A one-bedroom flat with a mortgage, long work hours, and a history of broken relationships. Christ, even my mother thinks there must be something wrong with me. I’m twenty-nine years old in a few day’s time, and she’s always telling me it’s a good age to marry, as if I’m going to land Mr. Right tomorrow.”

“And your mother knows everything?”

“Well, maybe not,” giggled Stephanie. “She and my father got divorced when I was a teenager. But my little sister is settled down and expecting a child. I suppose my mother just wants to see me happy.”

“I’m sure all mums want their children to be happy, Steph.”

“I just don’t know what to do, Jess,” said Stephanie, tears beginning to well up in her soft eyes.

Jess reached across the table and held Stephanie’s hands. She looked Stephanie in the eyes and smiled with the sweetest smile that Stephanie had ever seen on her face.

“You’re going to be playing a waiting game, if this really is serious. Things will happen when the time is right for both of you. You’ll find a way, I’m sure.”

Stephanie began to warm to the idea, but still hesitated.

“And what if he doesn’t make the first move? I want him so much, but I don’t want to blunder in and wreck both of our lives.”

“You won’t, Steph. And you have that rare thing that most women would die for: a dangerous beauty that will keep a man coming back for more, whatever the consequences.”

Stephanie looked across at Jess’ expressive face, framed by her long, dark hair. She could feel herself melting at the warmth emanating from Jess and once again wanted to run her fingers across her light ebony skin.

“Thanks, Jess. I just hope he does come back to me, and soon.”

“In the meantime, I think you have a few other distractions. The guy in Spain; your LA girlfriend, Asha. Me, even?”

Stephanie laughed out loud at Jess’s teasing.

You’re right as always, Jess. I’ve got more than enough to think about right now.

“I’ve even got some work to deliver too in between the complications of my love life. Which reminds me, we’ve still got to have that discussion about the meeting tomorrow.”

“Then I suggest we retire to your room, and get ourselves relaxed and in the mood to brush up on some facts and figures for the morning.”

“And which figures would you like to brush up on tonight, Jess?”

“You mean whose figure would I like to brush up on tonight?”

“Whatever you like.”

“That’s good. I very much do like,” whispered Jess.

“Then let’s not wait another minute. Are you ready for a briefing session?” smiled Stephanie, as she took Jess’s hand and the pair headed to her bedroom.

Gemma Stone’s fifth Stephanie Spicer novella  sees Stephanie revealing more than just her business skills on holiday when she must choose her head or heart in deciding her romantic future in the sizzling summer sun.

When beautiful business woman, Stephanie Spicer, has her romantic future left hanging in the balance by the departure of her American client and lover, Rick, she is devastated. She must also please her demanding boss by attending an important, high-level branding symposium in Spain. Trying to balance her professional commitments with re-thinking her own life, she must decide whether it will be her head or her heart that will win the day.

Persuaded by her new best friend, Asha, to take a short summer break before her business event, it seems that things may be all work and no play for Stephanie as she needs to deliver on an important client account before she leaves. But travelling overnight to Scotland, she has the opportunity to get close to one of her trusted staff. Will she take the chance or will it be close but no cigar?

When she finally gets her feet in the sand in Barcelona, she meets hotel-owners and brothers, Sebastián and Christophe, and Stephanie is presented with a business offer she seems unable to resist, but accepting it means Stephanie must find a way to win the new business without compromising herself and Rick’s PA, her bisexual friend Nix. Seemingly hesitant to become involved in a new relationship, Stephanie receives news from Nix that Rick’s love for her is serious and there is still hope their relationship will re-ignite.

Torn between finding passion in the arms of handsome businessman Sebastián in the heat of the night or keeping her cool and remaining loyal to Rick when her heart still desperately craves him, Stephanie must decide whether to finally leave the past behind. But has Rick forever marked her heart with a soul tattoo?

When the success of the project is sealed at a high-profile company event by her impromptu presentation together with her old flame, tennis star Kelly Finch, Stephanie prepares to fly home and pick up her life and passionate affair with Rick. But a revelation about Diane’s “love plus one” forces Stephanie to make a decision that will forever change her life.

Can Stephanie keep her new-found love as she also tries to manage the challenges of delivering her client’s branding account in America? Or will his suspicious wife try and change the ground rules and bring her back to earth?
