Synopsis:
From casual encounter
to something more?
Lucy is used to
having a handle on things herself: her business, which she’s fighting to turn
around after a rough patch, and her love life, which consists of carefully
conducted casual encounters during which only she calls the shots.
A one night stand
with George – the tall, husky biker whose rough exterior hides a gentler side –
changes everything. Lucy’s usual approach doesn’t work anymore: come morning,
she doesn’t want to say goodbye. Perhaps it’s time to let someone into her life
for more than just one night? Meanwhile, the crucial project she’s just
landed is about to fall to pieces, threatening her reputation as well as her
finances. Suddenly Lucy has to learn what it’s like to not be in control of
anything at all. Chance Encounters is a series of stand-alone
contemporary romance novellas set in jolly old England, following a set of
loosely connected people as they find love in unexpected places. Can love
conquer all, from class differences to age gaps? One-click and find out.
Exclusive Excerpt
Time seems to move in
slow motion when his hand finds my wrist, and pulls me closer towards him. Our
faces move closer together until he finally looks up at me again. His eyes
look almost black in the subdued light and we're now so near that I can feel
his breath tickling my face. His scent is pleasant, like a rather masculine
sort of cologne with a hint of beer mixed in. The effects of the few drinks
I've had already are making it hard for me to focus but I know what I want, and
I desperately hope he does too. "You're making it very difficult for
me to resist..." he says. I see the same nerves I feel mirrored in
his eyes momentarily. But instead of acting on them, he continues to stare deep
into my soul. "That was the idea..." I breathe. Both of us
are ready to go where our instincts might take us, still my mind plays tricks
on me by announcing his idiot friends' return. I can hear the creepy one even
if I don't know or care what he's saying. It's making me want to run and hide
again, away from all interruptions. He releases my wrist so I can I run
both hands up his shoulders and around his neck. I hardly need to make any
effort to get him to come closer, he already stood up right in front of
me.George is quite a bit taller than he looked sitting down. With me still
perched on my bar stool and him standing, I can reach him perfectly. I run my
fingers through his ponytail while our lips meet. His arms find their way
naturally around my back. The world around us disappears, taking any unwelcome
other people away with it. My legs part as far as they'll go in this skirt to
allow him closer. If his lips are anything to go by, he is the gentler type
definitely. Or perhaps he just likes to start off that way.
About Hedonist Six
Call me “H.” or
Hedonist if you prefer. I’m a Romance writer based in London and I’ve always
been a dreamer, though it didn’t occur to me to write down the stories I kept
dreaming up until 2012. You’ll not find flowery language and poetry in my work.
What you will find though is believable characters, none of whom perfect, going
through life and trying to find happiness. Just like the rest of us. I
first started writing because I craved to see more of “my kind of books” on the
shelves. In any scenario, you’ll find me rooting for the underdog. The
(emotionally) scarred hero who hasn’t really had much (or any) luck in love.
The shy office worker who wants to pursue the man of her dreams, but hasn’t
quite mustered the courage yet. All my characters are beautifully flawed and
messed up, in a way that makes them perfect for one another.
