They don't believe in happily ever afters, until they find themselves in one.
TANGLING WITH THE LONDON TYCOON
Brick Square Series #1

Releasing Feb 13th, 2017
Entangled Indulgence
London publishing tycoon Rosco Redmond closely guards his family, his business, and his privacy. When his sister’s wedding brings the paparazzi baying at his door, wedding photographer Kitty Mayfair unwittingly becomes his decoy girlfriend. But the mysterious Kitty has secrets of her own.
Despite the sexy hint of an appealing Irish brogue, Kitty’s new boss is bent on micromanaging his sister’s wedding and the crazy fake relationship she’s been dragged into. The only thing they seem to have in common, is that neither of them believes in happy-ever-afters. But the more time Kitty spends with the tycoon, the more she begins to suspect there’s a lot of fire beneath his cool facade.
With the past complicating their present, and the zoom lenses of photographers everywhere they go, the commitment phobic control freak and the globe-trotting free spirit clash and ignite.
Her
mouth formed a soft pout of concentration. Beautiful without the artifice of
makeup. Too late, he forgot he was only there to watch her work.
She
had already removed her beret but now started to undress as she moved,
apparently oblivious of him.
She
slowly unwrapped her woolens in obvious response to the heat of the room. The
belt at her slender waist, a wide green textured-leather affair with an
oversized silver buckle, was cinched tighter as the buckle was eased and then
released.
He
swallowed, suddenly thirsty as his body responded with an unwelcome increase of
tension.
Next,
she dropped the belt gently onto the floor beside her camera bag, with barely a
glance.
The
woolen wrap-coat flapped open, and she pushed it aside, her hands spanning her
waist as she looked critically at the furniture in the room.
She
drew a curtain and moved a chair. Unhurried. Proficient.
Standing
back, still lost in her set-up plans, she shed the coat completely and let it
fall in a raspberry red pool beside the belt.
She
reminded him of a Christmas present, red and green, multi-wrapped to frustrate
and excite the lucky recipient.
He
groaned. That was the sort of Redmond thinking he never indulged in. The sort
of thinking his father would have said aloud and laughed, the center of
attention. Drinks all around, live-for-the-moment sort of thinking.
Risk-everything-you-worked-for
thinking.
Rosco
frowned.
Kitty’s
next layer of clothing was some sort of see-through, loose-weave top, falling
off one shoulder and doing nothing to hide the skintight black leggings and
tank top beneath it.
He
couldn’t take his eyes off that smooth, slender shoulder. A sudden desire to
know what that creamy skin felt like wound his tension up another notch.
The
camera came off next—a heavy professional model and perfect for the job, Rosco
was forced to admit. Kitty looped it carefully over her head and checked it
thoroughly.
Suddenly,
that quiet sense of concentration was replaced by one of frenetic energy as
Kitty set up the equipment she needed. She motioned for Amanda to stay in the
chair where she was, then she stood back to assess her composition and nodded
briskly.
She
looked excited and totally immersed in her work. The muscles in his right leg
started to cramp, but he resisted massaging the familiar, old-injury ache, a
sure sign of tension he refused to acknowledge. He couldn’t take his eyes off
the action.
Kitty
stalked backward on those impossibly high heels toward the coffee table, her
eyes never leaving Amanda. With quick, fluid movements, she peeled off her last
layer of decent clothing, then scooped up her long dark hair and twisted it
into a haphazard knot. It settled low on the creamy skin of her neck, above the
skintight black-clad length of her.
There
was nothing between her body and Rosco’s imagination.
Suzi Jennings lives in New Zealand and
writes international stories of love and laughter. It all started in childhood
when she discovered reading, scribbled stories about princesses in castles, and
grew up to spend way too much money on books.
She
writes contemporary romance where family secrets, powerful friendships and
enduring loves heal hearts and forge happily-ever-afters. Her characters are
feisty, flirty, fun - and talkative! It’s a match made in keyboard heaven
as Suzi is more than happy to listen.
When
not writing she can be found on Pinterest, sipping creamy lattes, still
dreaming of castles she’d love to visit.
