The Blurb...
Mary Dalton is an average woman, working in an average job.
When her workplace is taken over by a large company, Mary knows her days of
employment there are numbered. When she is called on to pick up the CEO of the
company who has taken them over, she can’t find him. Simon Mayhew is a no show.
However another man crosses her pass. His name is Swerve.
Swerve is out to catch a Time Lord who is hell bent on greed
and destruction. As for Simon Mayhew? He
knows all about Mary. It’s one of the reasons he’s in town. The lady is his
soul mate. Mary doesn’t know it yet but her life is about to change forever.
The Excerpt...
“Jim,
I’m going to—” Swerve stiffened suddenly and nearly dropped the phone. It was like a bolt of lightning had charged
up his spine and set his whole being alight. He closed his eyes and savored the
rush. It was her. He could feel it. “I have to go. Yeah man, I’ll call you back
when I’ve had more time to think about it.” He smiled. “Come on, Jim, me do
something stupid?” Swerve was not
surprised by his colleague’s words. He had done some rash things in the past. But
that was then. Now, he had the future to deal with and it was walking towards
him on size eight Doc Martens. “Talk to the others and let me know what they
think.” Swerve snapped off the phone and turned to face the woman he knew was
walking towards him unaware that they were each going to change the other’s
life.
He
smiled as he watched Mary Dalton move with a purposefulness he saw in few
people. He suspected if anyone got in her way she would have coolly told them
to get out of it. He knew all about Mary and what he knew he liked. A lot. From
the top of her mid brown hair to the non-office approved Doc Marten boots that
stopped her boring blue plaid work shirt and navy pants from looking too
frumpy, she was the woman he wanted. “I cannot wait to get to know her better.”
His gaze roamed her face taking in the thin sheen of sweat on her upper lip and
the clever brown eyes that he suspected saw everything but revealed little. He
liked that in a woman. Unraveling a mystery was fun. And this one? If the
keenness of her mind matched the enticing curves of her voluptuous body, Swerve
knew he would never let this woman go. It would be beyond his will to do so.
He
waited until she was level with him and smiled. Her eyes narrowed then opened
wide as if she was remembering something, He felt her gaze on his hair and
shoulders. Yeah. She remembers me.
“Hey,
beautiful lady. I’m a wayward traveler on the crooked path of life and I’m
looking for a woman to share my riches with me.” His airhead, dopey sounding
alter-ego came naturally to his lips. He used that to disarm and confuse
people. It was better than a cloak and it threw people off the real reason he
was with them.
She
stopped and looked at him coolly. “Bollocks.”
Yeah, Socia was right. This one is
mine.
