Excerpt:

“Don’t be afraid,” he whispered.

Anna pushed her chair back, but immediately realized she’d put herself in an awkward place. Her chair sat in the corner. The small bistro table lay between them, and she had to move past him to get out; he had to let her pass him. For a moment, she froze, not knowing what to do.

“If you truly wish to leave, you can. But please stay. I’ve searched for you for so long. The choice is yours.” He pushed his chair back and pulled the table out for her to make it easier for her to get by him and leave—if she really wanted to.

Slowly, she sat back down. “Okay. So can you tell me what’s really going on? Do I know you?”

“You do and you don’t.”

“Excuse us.” Anna had been so captivated by Killian she hadn’t noticed the women she’d seen earlier approaching. The brunette spoke this time. “But you look familiar. Do you model?” They ignored Anna. Clearly directing their questions at Killian.

Killian turned his head to look at the woman. “No. I don’t.”

“Would you like to?” the other one asked. Without waiting for an answer, she offered him the business card she already held in her hand. But when he didn’t lift his hand to take it, she said, “Here, it’s got my name and number on it. We’re models.” She gestured to herself and her friend with it. “I could arrange for a photographer to do a photo shoot of you with us.” Again she offered him the card.

This time, he looked at the card without touching it, and then back up at the woman. “No, thanks.” He turned back around, dismissing them.

The looks they shot at his back made Anna chuckle to herself, but he couldn’t have cared less. His entire focus was on her, Anna. Anna would bet neither woman had ever been turned down like that before. They spun around and sashayed out on their heels. Anna couldn’t help but smile.

“Why didn’t you take the card?” she asked.

He shrugged. “That is not who I am nor what I’m interested in.”

“Oh, well, who are you and what are you interested in?”

“You. Only you.”

I was truly disappointed with this book. I don't know why it's under erotic romance, for the love scene depiction in this book left you like "is that it". Not worth the buy, folks.
