Sneak Peek! Be My Bride Chapter One
Asia
Sunlight filters through floor to ceiling windows in a hotel room that is totally trashed—a lamp in pieces on the floor, an empty bottle of champagne and half-eaten chocolate strawberries.
We were either robbed or…
I don’t even want to know.
I moan, reaching up to wrap my slender fingers around my head.
Feels like someone is taking a pick-ax to my skull.
My stomach roils.
The heady scent of rose petals fills my nostrils.
What the heck happened last night?
I can’t remember.
Anything.
My chest rises and falls as I suck in a panicked breath.
A sound comes from my left.
A manly rumble.
But that’s not right.
There’s no way…
Easing my head to the side, I spot a guy lying next to me. Wavy brown hair falls over his strong forehead. Sunlight points to his crazy long lashes and full, kissable lips.
A sharp pang echoes through my chest.
My hand slaps against my mouth to muffle the scream pulsing in my throat.
Scrambling back, I clutch the sheets and give Hansley a frantic scan.
He’s naked as the day he was born.
His broad shoulders still boast slight nail indentations.
Lipstick stains his rippled chest.
My lipstick.
From my lips.
Did I—?
No way.
No freaking way.
I wrap myself in the sheets to cover my own body.
We’re in Vegas.
And Hansley’s in my bed.
There’s got to be an explanation.
Just then, Hansley rolls over and drapes his arm over my waist. In his sleep, he pulls me a little closer.
Panicked, I lift my hand to push him away.
Press my palm against his chest.
Feel his hard muscle beneath me.
Look up when a bright light beams in my face.
Is that the sun?
No.
No it’s not.
My eyes bug when I see where the glint is coming from.
A diamond.
It’s huge.
It’s real.
And it’s on my finger.
