Dirk Savage never fails to acquire
what he wants until he encounters Stormee Waters and a backwash of trouble...
Stormee Waters knows
about hard times. Needing to care for her aging grandmother and teenage
brother, she moves to Houston, Texas and takes a writing job for a popular
magazine. Her first assignment is to interview a successful business man for a
series of articles entitled, Make My Man Texas-Sized. Her target, Dirk Savage,
appears to have the right criteria. He's adventurous with the air of a
conqueror. Admired by his peers and coveted by beauty queens and debutantes,
he's just the type of man that Stormee needs to make her first article sizzle and
sell. But can she handle the heat when she catches his attention?
Dirk Savage is
used to acquiring what he wants, except in the illusive quest for the one woman
who can fill his heart. The shock of discovering her in the naive young woman
assigned to interview him sets his jaded emotions on high alert. Can he
convince her that his pursuit is genuine?
Excerpt
Her palm itched to slap his arrogant jaw. But hitting the
most unpredictable man she’d ever met, even in a public restaurant, couldn’t be
a smart move. She snatched her phone from his hand. “You’re past being
impossible! Who do you think you are—my father?” She shook with indignation.
The bit about their age difference came out of nowhere.
The tightening of his concrete jaw confirmed she’d hit the retaliation jackpot.
She didn’t bother to hide the smugness in her expression or the satisfaction
she received when his complexion darkened with indignation.
“If I were your father, Miss Waters, Id march you out to
the car and tan your pretty little backside for not knowing what’s good for
you.”
“Take me home,” she hissed through tight lips. Executing
a dismissive turn, she stalked toward the exit.
Dirk stepped in
stride beside her and placed his hand in the middle of her back. “Exactly what
I’d suggest since you have preparations to finish. A car will pick you up at
5:00 a.m. and get you to the airport in time to make a 6:00 a.m. flight.”
She stopped walking and turned to face him. “I can’t make
a reservation that fast. I’m sure the earliest will be tomorrow afternoon, or
evening.”
“I have a private plane. I can get you to Chicago quicker
than a commercial flight.” He gripped her upper arm and urged her toward the
exit.
Stormee balked and rolled her eyes. “I don’t care if you
have a space shuttle. You’re not taking me to Chicago.”

Good Morning KyAnn,
Thank you so much for hosting me today. Stormee and Dirk will be here in a jiffy and we'd love to chat. I even brought hot cinnamon rolls to get our morning started right. That is, if Dirk doesn't eat them all. Guess I'll just have to rely on Stormee to keep him in line.
thank you for spending time on my blog today Lynda!
