Blurb:
Paige Holmes hides herself in a masculine
world in a desperate attempt to remain safe.
Just as she is ready to face her fears and
her past, she finds herself torn between Matt Jackson and Vance Ellery:
handsome, rich, and safe – or handsome, rich, and dangerous?
Which will she choose?
The one who appears to be the most perfect,
or the one who makes her use all Seven Dirty Words?

Excerpt:
A couple of
hours later, I woke to the sound of male voices chatting and laughing in the
room below mine. I stood carefully, straining to hear the topic of
conversation. I caught the words “money”, “sport” and “pavilion,” and knew
instantly that TDS was in my childhood home.
Suddenly, I
yearned to see him again. But, glancing in the full-length mirror by the door
that led to my en suite bathroom, I saw that I was in no fit state to be
speaking to handsome older men.
Dishevelled was
an understatement. My hair resembled a bird’s nest, my eyes had purple rings
underneath them, and the stench of sweat and sickness leaked from my pores.
I dragged myself
to the bathroom, switching on the shower and letting the water run until it was
almost scalding. My body trembled with a cold that only I felt. A hot shower
was desperately needed. Before long, clouds of steam billowed over the top of
the glass doors, informing me that it was time to cleanse away the illness that
stuck to me like goosegrass.
