Attraction: (A Temptation Series Stand-alone) (The Temptation Series Book 4) (40 page)

Carly was it for me. She had been, years ago, the very
moment that feeling first passed through me. She’d taught me to open up, to
trust and to love.

Stepping up beside me, the glint of a seductive smile played
across her face.

‘If husbands are boogers, I pick you,’ she said loudly.

I smiled the biggest fucking smile imaginable and turned to
our celebrant. ‘Marry us. Marry us now!’

THE END.

Discovering
Stella

Coming Soon

This book is for mature audiences 18+  It contains
explicit language and sexual content.

Stella Walker is twenty-six years old and hiding from a past
that haunts her on a daily basis. In a desperate attempt to escape the torment
of her memories, she tries to rebuild her life and move on.

She seeks the seclusion of a rural town and tracks down a
distant relative who Stella knows will give help, but who is unaware of the
past she is trying to flee.

What Stella doesn’t anticipate, is meeting Lawson Drake.

Lawson Drake is twenty-nine years old, a mechanic who owns
an auto service and smash repairs shop. When he comes across a broken-down car
by the side of the road, he is intrigued by its owner — a caramel-eyed brunette
who clearly has a score to settle, not only with her defective vehicle, but with
anyone who tries to get too close. The thing is, Lawson wants close. He wants
more than close. He wants as close as he can possibly get.

 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

As always, and right off the bat, I need to thank my
husband. This man, that I’m privileged to share my life with, is all kinds of
wonderful. And, I think it’s safe to say, if it weren’t for him being the
epitome of awesome,
Attraction
would not have been written or published.

Mum: you support me tirelessly, offering to help in
whichever way you can. You spread the word as a genuine fan of my work and not
only do you support me, but you also support the many other talented Aussie
authors I call my friends. Go #AussiePimpMum

To my wonderful friends who beta read the first draft. Your
comments and feedback were much appreciated. I’m so glad you were all there to
calm my crazy head when I was uncertain as to how this book would be received.

Also, a special shout-out needs to be given to Melanie
Sassymum, who was not only one of those wonderful friends who beta read for me,
but who helped with promoting and spreading the word of
Attraction
’s
release. Mel, your assistance has been instrumental. I flove you, my #pock.

To my editors Stephanie and Belinda, and to everyone at
Harlequin Books Australia: thank you for your hard work and dedication
to the series as a whole
. I’ve
thoroughly enjoyed working with you and seeing this novel be brought to life.
Which brings me to Editor Extraordinaire, Annabel: I honestly can’t say enough
wonderful things about you. It has been an absolute joy working side by side
during the editing of this book and the entire re-work of
Temptation
,
Satisfaction
,
Fulfilment
&
Attainment
. Some may assume the editing process
to be daunting. But, with you at the helm, that assumption could not be further
from the truth. It was such a pleasure to share this experience with you.

And lastly but certainly not the least, my fans: just
quietly, I still cannot believe that I can say those two simple words together
... ‘my fans’. It’s just so surreal! However, you are all there and you make my
writing journey all the more worth it. Thank you so very much. To Jen, Claire,
Lisa, Shev, BBG, Faye and Jas. Your
constant
support blows me away.
Thank you ♥ I hope you all enjoyed Carly and Derek’s story. After all, it
was you who requested it.
