Purchase:




EXCERPT
“If you don’t sign, I’m fired. If you call Nettleton & Thompson, I’m fired.” She threw up her hands in the air, barely keeping a grip on the contract. “So congratulations, you have me over a barrel.”
“Over a barrel?”
She rolled her eyes. “Helpless. At your mercy.”
“You don’t sound helpless, Miss Sutton.”
The heat trickled back in at the hint of admiration in his tone. Heat that only upped her irritation. How could she possibly be attracted to such an infuriating, self-absorbed man?
“I’m not helpless. I’m not a damsel in distress. I’ve continued forward through five canceled appointments, numerous hang-ups by your oh-so-efficient secretaries, and traveling over five-hundred miles trying to track you down with my boss breathing down my neck and putting the future of my career in your hands. If I can survive that, I can survive anything.”
Her chest rose and fell as she stared up at his shadowed face. She’d probably already signed her future away with her outburst. But God, it had felt good to finally vent her anger at his arrogance, at her career being reduced to her ability to get one simple signature.
She ran a hand through her curls and looked longingly at the partially open door before she turned back to him.
One last time. Try to explain just one last time.
“Do you not understand? If you don’t sign, you’ll lose everything—”
“I’ve already lost plenty, Miss Sutton.” Cold suffused his words, all traces of amusement and admiration gone. He started walking down the stairs with slow, measured steps that made her chest tighten with dreaded anticipation. “My father. My girlfriend. My looks. My ability to walk in a crowd without scaring small children.” The shadows crept up, revealed broad shoulders and a strong neck, the skin marred by one thick scar tinged pink. “What makes you think I give a damn about money anymore?”
And then he stepped into the light.

AUTHOR BIO:
Emmy's interest in romance can be traced back to her love of Nancy Drew books, when she tried to solve the mysteries of her favorite detective while rereading the romantic chapters with Ned Nickerson. Fast-forward a few years when she discovered a worn copy of "A Rose in Winter" by Kathleen Woodiwiss on her mother's bookshelf, and she was hooked. Over 20 years later, Harlequin Presents made her dream come true by offering her a contract for her first book.

When Emmy isn't writing or reading, she's chasing around her two kids, feeding her menagerie of fur babies or carving out a little time on her front porch with her firefighter hubby.
