Excerpt:
Our last stop is at the water’s edge. As the water
splashes against the pebbles, I notice a seaplane has just landed at the jetty,
and an excited couple is about to go for a tour. There’s no better way to see
the loch than a bird’s-eye view from the sky. From up there you see the real
majesty of the vast loch and surrounding highlands. From the sky the hotel
glistens like a jewel against the unspoilt water’s edge.
“I love this view,” I say, looking over my shoulder at
Alex, who’s standing just behind me. “Don’t think I’ll ever get tired of
looking at it.” The water is still and has a calming effect on me.
“I have to admit that I don’t think I will either,
although I think my point of view is especially spectacular,” he says with a
smile so full of promises. He slips his left hand round my waist and places
small kisses on the nape of my neck, which sends shock waves through my body.
“Libby, I’m going to turn you around and kiss you. I
am warning you to give you a chance to say no. I’d rather not be slapped
again.” Alex slowly turns me to face him, and all I see is a wanting look in
his eyes. My breathing has altered, picked up pace, and my heart is racing. I do
want this.
“Well, what are you waiting for then?” I whisper in
invitation.
That’s all it takes. One hand is still on my waist.
The other reaches up to my chin and tilts my face, so I am watching as his face
comes closer. His soft, wet lips meet mine, and they taste so sweet. And before
I know it, I’m kissing him back.
When we eventually pull ourselves apart, all I can do
is sigh. He still has one arm held firmly round my waist. I notice his smile.
What a beautiful smile it is.
“I hope that makes up for my mistake earlier today?”
“It certainly does. But as you recall, I already
accepted your apology hours ago,” I say, smiling back at him.

About the author:
I live just outside
Glasgow, Scotland with my husband of seventeen years and our, sometimes
delightful, five children. My busy days include helping my husband manage the family
business, while the kids take up the majority of the time, schools runs,
parties and all the various sports clubs they attend. I find escape from the
chaos of everyday life in good books, particularly stories of passionate
romantic relationships. Let’s face it we
all dream of the happily ever after’s.
For as far back as
I can remember I have devoted my time to my family and for that I wouldn’t
change a thing, but whilst thinking what I wanted to do for me, I had this
niggling feeling to write, but pushed it to the back of my mind, for a good few
months. Several months later and it was still there along with the names
Elizabeth and Alexander, so thought I
have nothing to lose so why not give it a go. Never in a million years when
I started writing He’s Captured My Heart,
a tale of contemporary erotic romance set in Scotland, did I think I would
actually finish it, never mind do anything with it.
