The first novella in a thrilling, pulse-racing new erotic romance series, Indecent Proposals. Three best friends, Shey, Eloisa and Georgia take on the most powerful and eligible men of the New York dating scene.
Perfect for fans of bestselling erotic romance authors Sylvia Day and E.L. James!
'I'm not coming over.' Shey replied confidently.
'Then maybe you could return the favor now.'
Wait, he didn't mean...
'Slide your hand beneath your panties and tell me how ready you are for me.'
Oh my god, he did.
Single Manhattanite Shey Lopez doesn't do one night stands, or have relationships she can't control. Especially if giving in to playboy Calvin Jones means losing her heart in the process.
However, Mr Won't-Take-No-For-An-Answer always gets what he wants and there's only so many times a girl can resist such an enticing proposal...

His lips twisted up at the corners and a sultry look darkened his eyes. ‘Hell no. I can think of better ways to entertain a lady.’
Her heart rate went crazy.
Mandy gasped, but was saved by the phone ringing. Shey didn’t have the same time to compose herself. She was lost in his gaze and that fiery burn scorching through her body. For the first time since she could remember, Shey couldn’t find her tongue. Those damn eyes messed with her head and she couldn’t break free from their spell if she tried.
He stepped closer, and the burn intensified. She was so hot she wanted to rip the dress off and stand in front of an open freezer to cool down. Up close she could see a dark five o’clock shadow on his sculpted jaw. His throat was thick, just like his shoulders. The slightly crooked nose suggested he’d had it broken at some point in his life, but it didn’t deter from his harsh beauty. Shey was awestruck, and so turned on she thought she might come just from looking at him.
‘What’s your name, gorgeous?’ he asked.
The disinterest on his face made it seem like he was flirting out of habit rather than because he wanted to. Even still, there seemed to be a magnetic force between them, crackling in the air and sparking. Those eyes of his had darkened, contradicting his Mr. Cool Man front. No way was Shey going to make this easy for him.
‘Seriously? That the best line you’ve got?’ She forced a laugh, but it came out husky, damn it. ‘Next you’ll call my dad a thief for stealing the stars and putting them in my eyes.’
His brows shot up, but he composed himself in a heartbeat. With a smile, he leaned forward and brushed a kiss over her cheekbone. The spicy smell of him invaded her senses and her skin sizzled with the contact. Her body went hyperactive. Hands trembling, knees weakening and oh yeah, soaked right through her lacy thong. She had to get away from him before she did something crazy, like beg for those soft lips to touch her again.
‘Sweetheart, with you I don’t need any lines.'
Anger boiled through her veins, loosening his hold on her body. She didn’t even know his name and he had her salivating, for Christ’s sake. He was a cocky bastard, so sure he had her right where he wanted her, and the worst thing? He was absolutely right. Next time those lips touched her skin she’d be putty in his long-fingered hands.
‘It’ll take more than arrogance to win me over.’ Shey left the asshole unspoken. ‘I have somewhere to be.’ Without waiting for Mandy to get off the phone or for Mr. Cool to reply, she left the reception.
His voice trailed behind her. ‘I’ll see you soon, gorgeous.’
Yeah, big shot. In your dreams.

Notorious heiress Alexa Green has certainly been enjoying her most
recent girls-holiday in Marbella. Just as we thought, she’s been knocking back
the cocktails and showing off her fabulous bikini body on the beach… but rumour
has it she’s also been spotted sneaking out of Enrique Castillo’s penthouse in
the early hours of this morning – in nothing but her underwear! Our question
is, doesn’t this fiercely private billionaire know what he’s letting himself in
for?
He’s got the millions… and she knows how to spend them! So lie back on
your sun lounger and get comfortable, because this summer fling is going to be
a sizzler!

Adrenaline
roared through her veins. This was her only chance. Pushing away from the wall,
she rounded the lift, desperately seeking an escape. She barely noticed the
plush furnishings, soft-looking leather sofas and floor to ceiling window which
showcased the most spectacular view she’d ever seen. Instead she focused on the
walls surrounding the elevator.
‘Are you
lost?’
The
heavily accented voice froze her to the spot. She darted a glance toward the
sound. Dark brows furrowed over the richest coloured eyes she’d seen. His gaze
swept over the length of her body, then up, lingering on her rear for a beat
too long. Her skin tingled under his scrutiny.
Turning
her whole body to face him, she slapped a hand on her hip. ‘Had a good enough
look?’
His lips
quirked in a sexy, lopsided grin. The jitters were back and Alexa swore the
temperature in the room shot up ten degrees. Her gaze dropped to his broad
shoulders, covered in a thin white t-shirt, then down to a well filled chest.
She could see a dark pattern beneath the t-shirt. She longed to find out what
kind of tattoo he had. Usually, tats didn’t do it for her. But on that body…
‘I could
ask you the same thing.’
She
snapped her attention back to his face. He stepped toward her, his jaw set, his
eyes dancing with humour and something darker…something that made her blood
heat and her mouth water.
Alexa
raised her arm, palm out. ‘Hold it there, Mr. Any closer and I’ll scream.’
He paused
by the sofa. Propping his hip against the cream leather, he folded his arms
across his chest, causing the muscles to bulge. The moisture drained from her
mouth and flooded in her belly.
‘No one’s
here to hear you.’ He cocked a brow. ‘You seem to be forgetting where you are
and,’ his gaze dipped down to her breasts causing the nipples to peak against
the lacy fabric ‘how underdressed.’
Alexa
thought this moment would have topped the blush scale. She planted her other
hand on her hip and glared at him, unwilling to show any weakness. ‘I’m just
leaving.’
She turned
and strode back to the lift, keeping her back straight and trying not to wiggle
her hips too much. The predatory sheen in his eyes made her body more jittery
than the idea of sprinting around the lower floor in her underwear. She reached
out to hit the button, but a large hand circled her wrist before she made it.
Alexa
squeaked and darted back a step. He was so close, and his chest was right in her face. She could see the
dark outline of the tattoo beneath the thin cotton. The outline of a burning
sun, she thought, or something that looked like a sun. Her hands itched to lift
the material and see for herself.
‘I’m up
here.’
She
snapped her gaze back up to his smirking face and took another step back. His
lips kicked up at the corners and his eyes darkened. She swallowed against the
urge to step closer, to feel his hard body pressed against hers. But she
realised she was in little more than her bra and knickers in a stranger’s home.
Unease skittered down her spine.
Alexa
squared her shoulders, trying to quash the fear turning her heated blood into
cold sludge. ‘I’m leaving now.’
‘After you
explain what you’re doing in my home in your undergarments.’
‘Undergarments?’
Alexa pressed her lips together to keep a giggle at bay. ‘Seriously?’Find Sinfully Summer at: Amazon US / Amazon UK / Google Play / Barnes & Noble

All my life I’ve been dreaming up stories. My mum said when I was little I used to make all the My Little Pony figurines talk to each other, and even fall in love. Later, it was Barbie and Ken. In my teens, I played matchmaker with my friends at school.
When I
wasn’t creating imaginary scenarios, I had my nose stuck in books, reading
across genres and there was one thing I loved more than the escapism—the fact a
story can touch me so deeply, like I was experiencing everything along with my
characters. I knew from early on this was something I wanted to do for others.
Fast
forward a few years, and the dream almost got lost in real life, but I still
couldn’t shake it completely. Now I write sizzling romance with the hope of
making my readers’ hearts race like they are falling in love for the first
time.
