Their wishes were simple and modest. Fate had other things in store though, and she can be a real bitch sometimes.
All he wanted was to get the job done and somehow to endure those long months playing nanny to a spoiled little rich girl. Without strangling her with his bare hands in the process. Well, it is going to be much easier said than done.
All she wanted was to escape the past and live like any other girl. Her plan definitely didn’t include the arrogant, tattooed savage, with his awful mohawk and lack of social graces, whose only mission was to stick real close and mess up her life.
But, people aren’t always what they seem to be, are they?
Excerpt:
Sasha
The alarm had been ringing for a full five minutes when I finally
reached out a hand, felt around for the phone and tossed it on the bed. It was
time to face another day in hell.
Sliding out from under the quilt, I dragged myself to the bathroom,
turned on the shower and stepped in. Slowly turning the faucet from hot over to
cold and letting the water flow over me, I felt myself growing more alert.
Oh, it would be so good to imagine all my problems somehow disappearing
with the water.
Riding this wave of optimism, I remembered that once there would have
been three goons following me, but now there was only Alex.
I mean, how much mess could one person actually make? I’ll just pretend
that he’s not even there. He’ll be gone soon, anyway.
Lifted by these positive thoughts, leaving the bathroom and heading down
the hall, I’d almost convinced myself that things might soon go back to normal.
That bubble burst the second I entered the kitchen.
Reality hit me in form of a huge tattooed guy dressed only in baggy
cargo pants, kicking back in my home, drinking my coffee and, it seemed from
his face, planning new ways of disrupting my life. Looking like he’d really
made himself at home, Alex was sitting at the kitchen table, flicking through a
newspaper. Though the room was actually pretty big, he seemed to fill it, and
the once familiar space felt suddenly cramped and hostile. It was obvious he’d
heard me enter when he turned his eyes in my direction.
It seemed so strange that someone could make you want to hot tail it and
run just by glancing over, while at the same time part of you felt like jumping
right into his lap. That was a really annoying feeling.
