Book Description:
When Christy
Inemi-Spiff discovers that the man she vowed to love and honor has no such
feelings for her, she is determined to cut her losses and move on with her
life. A quick, quiet divorce is all she wishes….
However,
Joshua has other ideas. He’s not ready to walk away yet, especially when he
doesn’t understand why Christy wants out of their marriage. So he demands she
agree to spend a quiet Christmas on a remote African Island
with him, hoping they can salvage their relationship. If she still wants a
divorce after these two weeks, he will let her go. But not before he’s had his
fill of her.
But with the
sparking tension between them, and the secrets behind the disintegration of
their marriage threatening to explode, will either of them get their wish? Or
will this season of good will show them what really lies at the bottom of their
hearts?
Excerpt:
“Why are you doing this?” she challenged. Her emotions rolled,
making her feel unbalanced. It had been a long three months. And it seemed like
today was only going to get worse.
“Christy, you know the reason. If you stopped long enough and
thought about it hard, in your heart, you’ll know.”
“You can stop this.” She struggled to contain her anger. “You
started this; you can end it.”
“I know, but I won’t.”
“You, you—” Enraged, she lifted a hand to slap him.
Joshua caught her hand midair, held it tight. Before she could
react, he pushed her back against the wall, pinning her to it with his rigid
body. Christy felt every bit of him, his strength, and his physical nature that
he never bothered to hide.
“I think I have the perfect answer for all your bottled-up rage,”
he said as he parted her thighs with his leg.
“Move,”
she ordered, her throat dry and croaky, betraying her increasing apprehension.
Joshua had it easy. He was a man at home with his masculinity. She
had never been able to resist him. He could have any woman he wanted.
Sometimes, she wondered if he had, especially during their separation. She
shouldn’t care if he’d been with anyone else. After all, her goal was a
divorce. Still, she couldn’t suppress the intensity of her feelings. Perhaps
her anger and hatred drove the concentration of her emotions.
“We
have to get a few things sorted out first,” he replied.
He moved closer, his body flush against hers; his chest crushed
her breasts, his thighs pressed against hers. Though she wore cotton trousers
and a tank top, all of him stroked her.
“What are you doing?” she asked as she pushed against him.
He didn’t budge. “Just trying to relieve some of your frustration.
That’s what all your aggression has been about, isn’t it?”
“Rubbish!”
“Such vehement denial, when the evidence is so obvious.”
Her face stung with revealing heat as warm blood rose in her body.
Mortified, she tried to move to shake him off, but only managed to get her body
even more entangled with his.
Her breathing came in short snatches. She became more aware of
Joshua, his hardness and heat.
“I hate you.” Her voice sounded strangled. Blistering white rage
swept through her.
“You lie, sweetheart.”
He lowered his head, trailing his lips against her cheeks in a
tormenting caress.
“You love me.”
