Excerpt
Hailey
drank in the landscape, noticing the clarity of the late afternoon sky and the
way the snow-capped peaks glistened despite the fading light.
“Beautiful,
isn’t it?” said Matt. “Trending down the valley, you have the villages of
Argentiere and Les Praz and the town of Chamonix. Behind Chamonix you can see the
Grand Mama of all the peaks, Mont Blanc.”
“Yes, the
pens––and the chocolates.” She shook her head. What hubris to name a pen after
the magnificent towering peak, but what marketing genius.
Matt
grinned. “Ah, you know the chocolates, do you? We’ll have to buy you some.”
“From the
lips to the hips,” she murmured, “and I am sure they don’t do the mountain
justice.”
“Come on,
let’s get you inside before your face turns blue, and I earn a reprimand from
Genie for chatting up scantily-clad women in sub-zero temperatures.”
“Really?
You were chatting me up? I’m flattered.”
The smile
turned wicked. “You’re welcome.” As he bent to pick up her suitcase, he dropped
his head next to hers and murmured into her ear in a low, deep voice, sending
shivers down her spine. “For the record, Hailey, your curves are perfect. A
little chocolate won’t do them any harm.”
She
blushed, and the fire of his words flickered all the way through her belly.
When was the last time her ex had paid her a compliment? An appalling thought
crossed her mind; she, the High Priestess of Order and Long-Term Planning, was
ripe for the picking and contemplating a holiday romance.
Author Bio
Laura Boon
stole her first romance from her father’s bookshelves as a teenager, The Flame
and the Flower by Kathleen Woodiwiss, and was immediately captivated. After
holding a variety of positions in publishing, from bookseller to sales rep and
publicist, she eventually found the courage to write her own stories. She was
born in Zambia, grew up in South Africa, and went to university in America. She
now lives in Australia with her husband and their Pekingese Beau. When she is
not reading or writing, she enjoys sleuthing for artisan chocolate and
beautiful stationery, watching tennis, and walking alongside Sydney’s beautiful
harbor.
