One
night of magic. That’s all they had together but it changed both their lives.
Multi-millionaire
Oliver Maxwell, 51, despairs of ever finding the woman who stole his heart that
night.
Renowned
artist Simone St Ives, 46, also knows her life was forever altered by that one
chance encounter.
Both
doubt they’ll ever find their soul mate again. Because finding them seems
impossible when all you know about the other is their first name?
This is an erotic romance.
There are explicit sexual descriptions and explicit
language used throughout. It will offend some readers.
STORY
EXCERPT:
“What the fuck do you mean, you can’t find her?”
“I’m sorry, Mr. Maxwell, but with so little to go on…” The
nondescript man facing Oliver shrugged his shoulders, his arms apart in a
gesture of defeat. He looked hesitant as he added, “I mean we don’t even have a
last name, and you told me you can’t even be sure she lives in this city.”
Oliver’s deep growl escaped his throat without warning then he
sighed. He knew the private investigator was correct, but it didn’t sit easily
with him. He had to let go of his anger.
He drew in several deep breaths then nodded. “I understand
completely, and I’m sorry. I do know you’ve done your best.”
“If we just had something else.” The plaintive note in his voice
wasn’t lost on Oliver. “Even a last name, a suburb, a place of employment.
Anything.”
Hundreds of times each day, Oliver wished he had the same things
as he replied, “Thanks. If I discover any of those you’ll be the first to
know.”
Both rose and shook hands, with the PI scuttling as fast as he
could from the office. Yep, he’s glad to
leave. Oliver sank back onto his chair, laying his head on his hands. He’d
tried everything he could think of during the past three weeks to find his
mystery woman to no avail. He had to face facts—she was gone.
One night, that’s all they had, just one night. But it would be
burnt into his memory forever. No other woman would, or could, ever come close
to her. His life had been forever changed by one chance encounter. Oliver’s
mind went back to that night, as it had done so often in the last three weeks.
He still couldn’t remember why he’d gone down in the elevator …
probably something to do with the charity auction he’d been involved in. When
the doors opened on the ground floor, a vision in cream entered the carriage.
Oliver couldn’t move, he just stared at her. She looked over at him, her vivid
green eyes widened, and he felt a jolt somewhere around his heart. She pressed
a button.
Her melodic voice sent shivers down his spine as she asked, “What
floor?”
“Wherever you’re going.”
Her mouth had opened slightly as she continued staring at him,
taking one step toward him as if pulled by a huge magnet. It was as though they
were the only two people left in the world. The doors began to close and Oliver
quickly pushed forty as he stepped closer to her, his arm brushed against hers
and she gasped. They both just stood there, so close to each other, staring
into each other’s eyes. The elevator stopped and its doors began to open on the
twentieth floor. She ignored the beckoning hallway and stayed looking at him.
Upward they rode until they heard—ding,
the fortieth floor.
To this day Oliver had no idea why he did it, nor why on earth she
accepted, but he held out his hand and stood in the open elevator doorway. She
looked at his upturned hand, then back to his face and with a smile that could
have sunk a thousand ships, she put her hand in his. They walked in silence
down the corridor.
Somehow he managed to pull his key-card from his pocket, then open
the door to his hotel suite. He kicked it shut as they entered and the next
second they were in each other’s arms. Her kisses were as frantic as his. They
both tore at each other’s clothes until finally both were naked.
