Natalie: It’s running late; we just broke for 10mins. Seriously, thanks, Lucas. Now I know that order is okay, I won’t have nightmares.
Lucas: You’re very welcome. Hope your meeting doesn’t make you late home
Natalie: I don’t have any plans for tonight, anyway. How about you?
Lucas: Not much. Take my dog for a walk. Go to the gym. Have a beer. Nothing exciting.
Natalie: More than me. What kind of dog do you have?
Lucas: A golden Labrador. She's called Molly.
Natalie: Awww, I like Labs. Gotta go, Lucas. Have a great evening.
Lucas was partway through a call the next afternoon, when a courier appeared beside his desk. Lucas hesitated a moment but continued speaking, while reaching out for a pen. He had to squint to find the receipt but thought he had it covered, until Dave, his well-meaning desk-buddy, stuck his head over the partition.
“Here, mate. Let me take care of that for you.”
Lucas swallowed down his frustration. “I’ve got it.”
Dave had already scrambled to his side, pen in hand, ready to sign for the delivery. Lucas pretended to be engrossed on the call, and ignored both Dave and the delivery. Inside, anger raged. He wasn’t incapable.
A good ten minutes later, he finally assumed a calm enough tone to thank Dave, and then turned his attention to the flat package that lay on his desk.
“Let me open it for you.” Dave obviously hadn’t finished his Mr. Fucking-Helpful routine.
Lucas gritted his teeth and tried to smile. He feared it came out more as a snarl. “I said, I’ve got it.”
He struggled to find a way into the padded envelope and ended up ripping the corner with his teeth. There was no way he’d ask Dave. He’d stab himself in the hand first.
Whatever it was, there wasn’t much weight to it. About the size of a dinner plate, wrapped in tissue paper, with even more frickin’ adhesive tape holding it together. It was a Frisbee. A bright-yellow Frisbee with writing scrawled across the front.
He blinked, perplexed. A sales gimmick? A mistake? No matter how hard he stared at the writing, he couldn’t quite get it. Handwritten rather than printed, the letters looped and swirled in thick black lines that danced uselessly in front of him. Damn it to hell.
He could ask Dave? Nope. Not doing that. Likewise, he didn’t want to call someone else across. Annoyed, he shoved it to the side and ignored it.
Flashes of sunflower yellow at the corner of his vision taunted him for the next hour. He tried again to read the words, but they evaded him. Maybe it was just some advertising slogan.
He focused on work. The only thing he could still do well.

His Private Fix (Love at the Beach #1)
What will people say?
I’m thirty-four, almost divorced, and lusting after a guy ten years younger than me. I wanted to get away from my old life, but falling for Jonah hardly seems appropriate.
He’s the sexiest man I’ve ever met, though, and I’m not the only one who can’t keep my hands to myself. A little fun never hurt anyone.
We’ll go our separate ways at the end of the weekend, when his holiday is over. Wanting more, from the private man with secrets he won’t share is madness. Even knowing that, I can’t stop wanting him.
Will he break my heart? Probably. Will it be worth it? I wish I knew.
PERFECT STRANGER (PERFECT series #1)
When one night just isn’t enough
My ex-boyfriend had commitment issues. My sadistic boss can’t keep his hands to himself. No wonder I wanted to celebrate my birthday by losing myself in the delicious Jordan Merrill. His Texan drawl alone is enough to make me weak at the knees.
Finding out he wants more should be a good thing. Only, we live hundreds of miles apart, and he’s every bit as much a workaholic as me. Juggling our schedules is a nightmare. I’m the only female senior manager in our company, and it’s taken me years to get here. Surrendering my career isn’t an option.
Even for Jordan.
I wanted a single night with a perfect stranger. I didn’t plan on falling in love.
LYING IN SHADOWS (EVENT Horizon #1)
Sometimes good people do bad things
Marianne needs to find who's leaking secrets from her company, before they lose another major contract. What she doesn't need is an affair with her married boss. Even worse, to fall in love with him.
She discovers the security leak is more than a case of commercial espionage: someone is lying in the shadows, playing games with them. Now more than her heart and career are at stake—her life is on the line.
DID YOU KNOW SOFIA also writes paranormal romance?
OBSESSION (TALISMAN #1)
The perfect husband becomes the perfect nightmare

High profile couple Suki and Gabe Bridgewater have the perfect marriage, or at least, that’s the image they portray to the world. Behind closed doors, Gabe’s dominance in the marriage is unravelling and he decides to test Suki, using Josh as bait.
For Josh it should be just another easy job, but two things go horribly wrong.
One, Josh falls in love with Suki.
And two, Gabe refuses to let her go.
