BLURB:
Marietta Parks believes that the only way to
stop surprises from happening in life is to control your own fate. Paying
attention to every detail she scripts out her own life. Leaving love, romance
and children out of it. But then she meets a man who just has to be added into
her story, Tobias Harden was the man of everyone’s dreams but t her he was a
lovely addition to her already scripted life.
Tobias Harden was the modern day Casanova. Love was not in his vocabulary, and he was allergic to the word commitment, like poison Ivy to the bare skin. A chance kiss with Marietta Parks makes him question his single life. He was to be the best for her, and oddly enough she happens to be the only woman he wants to kiss. Tobias convinces Marietta that she needs him in her life. But after three years of marriage and life’s obstacles, he finds himself in bed with another woman. He has to convince her that he is still the man for her, especially now that she’s pregnant.

EXCERPT:
“I thought he was the great Tobias Harden, the
best sex on both sides of the pond. He can’t do a simple kiss.” Marietta pouted
as she stomped towards the two actors.
“This isn’t working.” Tobias said to her as
Marietta walked towards them.
“No
kidding. Sarah, you look like a fish drowning in a fish bowl and Toby; you look
like someone is forcing you to swallow an eel. You are actors; I don’t care if
you don’t find each other desirable pretend. We pay you to pretend, you make
your living pretending.”
“I
find him to be very sexy.” Sarah said as she winked in Tobias’ direction.
Marietta
frowned and turned to face Tobias just in time to see the same frustrated
expression on his face. “What about you, do you find her sexy?”
“Just
run this scene by me again.” Tobias grunted.
“The
kiss has to be passionate, everyone has to shiver at how intensely passionate
it is.” Marietta huffed in frustration and stepped in between them. “I think
you are both trying to lead the kiss. Kiss me like you would a girl you are
desperately in love with.”
“I’ve
never been in love.”
“Join the club. Kiss me like you are trying to
convince me that… I am your moon and stars. That is before you ditch me the
next morning. You lead, I’ll follow.”
Marietta
stood staring at his ‘kiss me’ lips. They were beautiful, well molded. Their
lips moved in the rhythm set by the beating of their hearts. Her body shivered
as his hands caressed her back. Then he shivered and that startled her so much
she had to break the kiss.
Marietta
stepped back and stared at him dazzled.
“So
do it like that.” She took Sarah’s hand and urged her closer to Tobias, “Let
him lead.”
AUTHOR INFORMATION:
Reading,Writing,Romance, Creativity and Imagination. These are the
words that describe my work.
I was born in Nairobi Kenya and had a passion for books ever since I could remember. Romance and love have always been a strange phenomenon for me. I have always wanted to change the ending of a love story. I decided to start writing my own.
Enjoy!!!
