BLURB:
Felicity
Williams can't remember the last five years thanks to an accident that wiped
out her memory. She fled her old life in hopes of starting fresh and found
refuge working on a cruise ship. But her past is coming for her…
Rick
McCarthy wakes after a climbing accident to discover that his business partner
and fiancĂ©e has quit her job and disappeared. He’s trying to accept that she’s
run out on him, but now he needs her signature to close a deal that could
literally be life or death. He’ll go to any extreme to get what he needs…even
if that means becoming someone else to win her back.
But
a little lie becomes a large mess when they’re stranded on a deserted island
together, and old misunderstandings might ruin their chance at new love…

Excerpt
Four:
From page 198 –
George appeared at Felicity’s door with a huge block of
chocolate he’d somehow managed to wrangle from the kitchens. “I tried for ice
cream but they only had it in twenty-liter tubs. I figured that wouldn’t do
either of our figures any good. Have to say I didn’t think I’d be getting a
call from you tonight. Certainly not one that started and ended with a command
to bring cookies and cream.”
“Why not? I’m
thinking of changing my food pyramid to have ice-cream at the top. I might as
well go live in a nunnery for all the action I’m about to get.”
He gave her an odd look then rallied. “Oh, sweetcheeks, I
think that would be a very bad idea. Can you image the havoc that would cause
amongst the visiting monks? And you’d have to cover this glorious hair.”
“It’s hardly glorious. God, I’m a mess. No wonder he doesn’t
love me. No one does. No one ever has except my parents and they’re dead. Oh my
God, I sound so whiny, I’m never like this. Never.”
“Oh darling. We all love you.”
“Yes, but you have to. I’m in charge of paying you.”
“True. But we don’t have to like you. Here, stop that now,
you’re getting blotchy.” George handed her a box of tissues and pushed her
gently onto the bed.
Felicity gave a sniff and let her breath shudder out before
she allowed herself to talk again. “I think you better hand over that
chocolate.”
“That’s my girl.” Ripping open the packaging, George broke
off a giant chunk. “I’d give you the whole block, but I think I better stay on
ration duty, just till you’ve evened out. Don’t want you going into a sugar
coma after you inhale the whole block in less than a minute.”
“Unfair. If a girl can’t ruin herself on chocolate, what’s
the point of anything?”

About Michele
Michele was
born in the mid 1970’s amid a burgeoning sprawl of vineyards and new retirement
homes. With two teachers as parents, her love of reading and books was cemented
at an early age. Being a writer however, was not was she was supposed to do
when she ‘grew up’. Despite training in law (or perhaps because of it) she has
been a dancer, producer, writer, and all round arty type in various countries
for most of her life.
Moving into
writing full time in 2010 was like being a part of a contemporary romance –
perfect! Creating new worlds for her characters, or rather letting those same
characters show her their worlds is now a highlight of Michele’s daily life.
And falling in love over and over as each hero and heroine allow their true
feelings to surface is something very special. What a treat to do it every day!
Now back home in New Zealand after travelling extensively, Michele writes from
an office where the sound of the tapping keyboard is only rivalled by the
whisper of wind in the trees.
