Anything about her or her past
We'd be her friend because...
She’s a fighter and a survivor who’s overcome so much.
In
her words…
Lily wandered through her day unable to shake off the bemused fog.
Or maybe it was a confused fog. Either way, she was having a hard time
concentrating. She wished she could chalk the fog up to a slight concussion,
but she knew she hadn’t hit her head all that
hard. No, the fuzzy-brained feeling had Ethan Marshall written all over it.
More specifically, Ethan Marshall’s kiss.
Even now, hours later, she was still sighing over it like a
teenage girl. As far as kisses in general went, Ethan got high marks for
quality. Hell, her toes were still
curled up in pleasure. And when he’d found a sensitive spot on her neck she
hadn’t even known existed… Damn. It
made the muscles in her thighs clench just remembering.
Like she could forget it. Lily was having a hard time convincing
herself that it really happened and wasn’t just some fantastical daydream
kicked up by a knock to the head. Maybe it was some kind of reverse amnesia –
instead of forgetting things, she was remembering things that didn’t actually
happen.
If so, it was one hell of a nice – and real-feeling – daydream.
She could still feel the weight of his mouth, the tension humming through him.
She could still taste him, and she’d
never had a daydream of any sort have that level of detail.
Ethan Marshall kissed her. That idea was just so ridiculous, though. Things like that just
didn’t happen to someone like her. People like the Marshalls kissed people like
them: rich, well-connected, well-bred, well-educated…
She was none of those things. And it wasn’t like Ethan didn’t know
that. She worked in his family’s stables, for God’s sake. It wouldn’t take a
huge assumptive leap on his part to know she wasn’t in his social circle. Maybe
in a movie, some princess or socialite might hide out in the working class, but
this was real life.
She was a Mississippi redneck who lived paycheck-to-paycheck. The
only connections she had were to the kind of people who made shady, back-alley,
cash-only deals and ended up on episodes of COPS wearing handcuffs. His
father was a Senator; her father was a felon. His family tree boasted governors
and CEOs; hers had nothing but ‘shine runners and horse thieves.
Oh, and there was that small issue of her own record…
Yeah, the Ethan Marshalls of the world didn’t kiss folks like Lily
Black. At least not on purpose. Or more than once.
What's the book about:
Introducing
The Marshalls… A
rich, powerful family that mixes business, politics… and pleasure. If
the US had a royal family —this would be it!
When
wealth, power and politics cross paths with the criminal underworld…
Ethan Marshall, grandson of a former senator, is handsome and charming –
and he’s lusting after Lily Black! Working for the Marshalls as a
stable manager, Lily has the ideal job for the first time in her life –
she loves working with the horses on the beautiful Marshall estate.
Whilst Lily’s attentions are soon drawn to the very fine Ethan, her past
holds dark and criminal secrets…which could bring the Marshall family
to its knees. The gorgeous playboy is determined to win her affections,
but should Lily do the right thing by her family, or the right thing by
the Marshalls?
