Synopsis:
As a sexy ex-hockey

father, Adam was the man most women wait a lifetime for. Each man would take me
on a journey of self-discovery that was marred with lies, jealousy, deceit, and
a whole lot of fun. They each offered a glimpse of happily ever after, a piece
of perfect. But in my constant quest to have it all, I would risk losing
everything. Only one thing was certain. I’d never be the same after this.

Excerpt
(Scene with Max)
“What
the hell do you think you’re doing?” I whispered, trying to resist my primal
desires. But I knew as I heard myself speak that my pleading was much too weak
to convince him that I didn’t want this. Or even to convince me for that matter.
“I’m
only doing what we both want me to, doll,” he whispered, again searching my
eyes to make sure he wasn’t forcing me to do something I didn’t want to do. My
mind was flooded with conflicting opinions of this man. He was domineering and
firm, but yet he took great care to ensure that he wasn’t pushing me further
than I was willing to go. His touch short-circuited my entire body. The more he
touched, the more
I wanted to be touched.
And
he damn well knew it.
Just
then, a flight attendant appeared beside us. “Excuse me,” Max beckoned. “Can my
friend get a white zinfandel? Thank you.” He quickly turned his attention back
to me, his hand creeping up toward the juncture between my thighs.
This
jackass may be controlling my body’s response to him, but he wasn’t going to
control what I drank. “Um,” I said stifling a moan as his fingers travelled
delicately over my lace thong. “I’m sorry, miss, but I’ll actually have a gin
and tonic instead.” Yeah, that’ll show
this dominant bastard who’s boss. I wasn’t about to drink some fucking
girly drink that he had ordered for me.
“Gin
and tonic, huh?” he said smirking. “Whatever will, ahem, loosen you up a
little.”
I
became acutely aware of his deliberate choice in words. Loosen me up a little? The acknowledgement of his intentions sent a
shiver up my spine. Could I let him do this? And here? T
he
attendant smiled pleasantly. “I apologize, ma’am, but drink service for this
flight has just been suspended. We will be touching down shortly,” she said
with an apologetic smile.
He turned his head to gaze at her—and obviously
her name tag. “Kristen, is it?” And I could see the hint of a genuine smile
emerge from the corner of his eye as he clasped her hand gently in his free
one. “Just one last drink, please? I’d be very grateful. She’s not really a fan
of flying,” he said, nodding his head in my direction while sliding two fingers
forcefully inside me.

Author bio:
Elizabeth Hayley is actually “Elizabeth”
and “Hayley,” two friends who love reading romance novels to obsessive levels.
This mutual love prompted them to put their English degrees to good use by
penning their own. The product is Pieces
of Perfect, their debut novel. They learned a ton about one another through
the process, like how they clearly share a brain and have a persistent need to
text each other constantly (much to their husbands' chagrin). They are
currently getting ready to release Sex
Snob, a novel centered around Lily’s roommate Amanda, and have also begun
writing the sequel to Pieces of Perfect.
“Elizabeth” lives with her husband, one
and a half year old daughter and nutjob of a dog. “Hayley” lives with her
husband and her own crazy dog. They are about to adopt a newborn son in
November. Elizabeth Hayley's writing motto is best captured by the words of
Patrick Dennis: “I always start with a clean piece of paper and a dirty mind.”

DeleteI gotta go with the bad boy!
ReplyDeleteIf you mean the bad boy of every woman's dreams or the single father of ever woman's dreams - meaning that both men are "dream men" then I'd take the bad boy. I figure if he's a dream man then the bad boy image is just a facade and as soon as he falls in love with me he'll change his ways and be loving and doting and caring and faithful.... yeah right! lol!
