~ Synopsis ~
When
Jenifer Taylor, a young woman from the big City of Mornington Vale California
starts her day, it turns from bad to worse, when on her way to work she’s
involved in a chain collision.
Jeni is
content with her life, dull and boring as it is, because being absent from the
dating scene, means she doesn’t have to deal with the major trust issues she
has with men. Her trust
issues stem from a controlling and aggressive ex boyfriend, and an absentee
father. She’s happy being
alone, sharing her life with her friends and family.
Her world
changes forever when she meets Aiden O’Connell, the billionaire son of Alistair
O’Connell, who owns Mornington Vale’s largest financial incorporation. Aiden is
an up and coming young businessman, who's ready to take on the Vice Presidency
in his father’s incorporation. He's
focused on the business, and life for Aiden involves working hard and not much
else. Aiden is the good son, and Alistair wants nothing more than for Aiden to
succeed and follow in his footsteps, it’s imperative to him.
After the
accident Aiden finds Jeni irresistible, and pursues her instantly, and with
some coaxing she eventually agrees to a date. It becomes apparent that they are very
attracted to one another.
Jeni
finds love quickly with Aiden, but trusting him is another issue. Trust is a major factor, and the
question of when to give it can be asked of us in many different ways. Jeni is asked this question, when she
finds out that Aiden is being investigated for a serious crime. Jeni’s trust issues spark, as she goes
through a journey of self-discovery.
She must
decide once and for all whether she trusts the man she loves, when she’s asked the
ultimate question:
“Do you
trust me?”
This is
book one in a series of three. Book
two "Love Me?" coming soon.
~ Excerpt ~
I run through some
paperwork when I hear someone clear their throat to get my attention. I look up
angrily to see the man who crashed into me this morning. It’s the idiot who
enhanced my bad day.
“Jeni, I presume?” he
asks with a quirky smile on his face, which is unexpectedly attractive.
I sit in silence as I
stare at him with my mouth slightly open in surprise.
He speaks again. “I’m
sorry about this morning. I see you managed to get that stain mostly out of
your top. I’d like to pay for some new clothes and the damages to your car, if
you’ll let me.”
I squirm in my seat as
the attractiveness of this man is suddenly apparent. How did I not notice his
gorgeousness this morning? He’s, quite frankly, one of the most attractive guys
I’ve ever seen. In spite of his outrageously good looks and cheerful persona, I
start to get angry with him all over again.
“No, you don’t need to
pay for new clothes or for my car. My manager has told me that they will fix it
for me and then charge the insurance company. So, like I said this morning, I
don’t want or need your charity, thanks.”
He looks at me in
surprise. “That’s no way to talk to a customer.” Again with a mischievous
grin.
“Urgh.” I want to slap
him in his smart-ass, gorgeous face.
“Sorry,” I say with
extreme sarcasm. “Can I have the details of your car please, Mr.
O’Connell?”
“If you won’t let me
buy you some new clothes or fix your car, how about lunch then?”
There’s that grin
again. I quickly gather myself together and reply hastily.
“It’s after two, Mr.
O’Connell. I’ve had lunch, thanks.” I’m feeling quite pleased with myself as I
stand up. “Now, if you wouldn’t mind, the details of your car?”
He looks at me puzzled.
“I didn’t mean today. I
meant tomorrow or the next day or the weekend. Whenever you’re free?”
With that, his gorgeous
smile crosses his face again, and I begin to melt. Is it hot in here? I can
feel my cheeks burning. I look down, pretending to sort out paperwork on my
desk so he can’t see the redness spreading across my face.
“I don’t think I can do
lunch. I’m pretty busy you know.”
He looks like he’s
thinking hard about what to say next and he tilts his head slightly.
“Dinner then?”
I let out a little
laugh but quickly gather myself together.
“I could use the
details of your car, Mr. O’Connell?”
He grins again.
“Jeez, you’re a tough
one to crack, Jeni.”
I try not to smile.
“Okay, how about this?
If you give me the pleasure of having dinner with you on Friday night, I’ll
give you the details of my car.” He looks very pleased with himself, grinning
from ear to ear.
I sigh, considering his
deal.
“Oh, um, I don’t know.
I mean you’re a customer. Surely there is some sort of rules about customers
and employees dating.”
He laughs; the sound is
delightful to my ears.
“I won’t tell if you
don’t.”
I stand there in shock,
contemplating what to say next. I mean could this amazingly handsome man want
to take me out to dinner? Really? I’m not anything like the type of girl I’d
imagine he would be into. I try to think of some witty comeback, but before I
know what’s happening, I sputter, “Fine! Friday for dinner, if it’ll get you to
co-operate. Please tell me the details of your car.”
I take a deep breath
and wait for him to reply.
“Great, Friday it is. I
have your details from this morning. I’ll call you with the restaurant and
time.”
I sit back down on my
chair in a dazed shock.
“Is that okay with
you?”
I shake my head with
disbelief.
“Sure, why not?” is all
I can mange.
His smile reappears
like he has overcome a huge obstacle and triumphed.
