The Paris Apartment (Love Nests Book 1)
Page 27
I’ve wanted to write for a long time, but life had plans of its own. I’m grateful to finally have time to write, and love writing contemporary and erotic romance in far-flung settings. Taking readers on a journey of their own with my books is part of the plot. Bon voyage!

PERFECT MISTAKE (PERFECT #1)
Simone Levin had a dream job as a safari pilot until an unexpected pregnancy clipped her wings. Tired of juggling motherhood with her demanding flight schedule, Simone applies for an office job, unaware that her new boss is Carlo Carlevaro, the man who’d ditched her before finding out he’d knocked her up.
Carlo returns to East Africa only to kill another fire—Ivory trafficking from his lodges threatens to destroy his company. Finding Simone back on the payroll comes as a pleasant surprise. As his employee, Simone is off-limits, but she is the only one he trusts to help with his undercover investigation.
With time running out, Simone and Carlo strive to expose the trafficking ring, but working together rekindles their mutual desire. When Simone is implicated as a trafficker, revealing her daughter’s existence to Carlo seems inevitable. Acting on her instincts might come too late as the syndicate retaliate and hone in their threat. Will they survive to give their love a chance?

An excerpt from
PERFECT MISTAKE
Simone went to stand next to him. “Why am I here?”
Carlo turned to her. The dark shadows under his eyes were somehow more accentuated in the play of lamplight than in the bright sunshine. “Let’s talk somewhere else.”
“Where do you suggest? The guests are bound to arrive soon and you know we can’t walk around by ourselves after dark.”
“Come to my room.”
She inhaled sharply, her hands clenching into fists. “Is that why I’m here? Do you really think–”
With a soft groan, Carlo curled his fingers around her arm and pulled her onto the deck, away from the other people sitting in the lounge. “To your room then,” he whispered, “although I much prefer mine. And no scenes, if you please.” His hand was a ring of fire around her arm, propelling her to the wooden walkway.
He walked next to her but let go of her arm.
A few steps from her tent she stopped. “I don’t care who hears this. If you think we’re going to carry on where we left off four years ago you are very much mistaken.”
He didn’t blink an eye. “You seem to be singularly one-track-minded, Simone.”
Heat rose to her cheeks; it spread down her chest to her treacherous heart, which pounded at the thought of him. Why was he still able to do this to her? Being alone with him was the worst possible idea.
“Well, if not for that, why march me to my tent as if you would have your way–”
“You may still be devilishly tempting, Simone, but now that I’m your boss you’re completely off limits.”

PERFECT ADDICTION
by Sophia Karlson
(PERFECT #2)
Chris Summers needs to get back to work to save his own sanity. He’d do anything to still the deep remorse rooted in the incident that led to his disability. When an old school friend lures him to Rome with an offer to get involved in his sister’s project as the professional photographer, Chris can’t say no.
Julia Carlevaro swore off men—and some other addictive substances—five years ago. An ivory trafficking disaster at her family’s East Africa lodges almost destroyed their conservation reputation, and it’s up to Julia to re-launch their lodges with a stunning photo book. Failure is not an option: for nearly five years she’s been clean, now she needs to prove she deserves her place in the family business.
Once on location in East Africa, Chris and Julia work long hours together to meet her looming deadline. But Julia is perturbed, as not only does Chris seem to see everything, especially what she wants to hide most, but the attraction between them is palpable, weakening her no-men resolve.
As the noose of desire tightens, Julia struggles to keep her own promises. She hides the secret of her addiction and everything it entailed, as she knows it will tear her and Chris apart. After a shooting accident that leaves Chris unhinged, he confides in Julia about the true nature of the incident that led to his disability. His cards are on the table, and she will need to show hers, or let go of her one chance for love.
