Stella Sullivan
Bright. Dedicated. Loyal.
The day I walked into his boardroom, I had no idea my life was about
to change forever. It was supposed to be a simple proposal that would catapult
my career. The chance to help Hurst & McCoy save one of their flailing
business lines seemed simple enough. However, I never expected that one look at
Maxwell McCoy would have me grasping for control. He’s demanding, charming,
powerful; most of all he’s beautiful, inside and out. As hard as I fought
against the attraction, he broke down my defenses. But he’s hiding things. Even
when secrets, lies, and greed threaten everything I have worked so hard for, I
couldn’t walk away. There’s no denying, the moment my eyes landed on Maxwell
McCoy was the moment I became his.
Maxwell McCoy
Rich. Brilliant. Powerful.
People only see me as CEO of Hurst & McCoy. The ruthless
businessman whose mere presence demands respect. People don’t know I chose to
leave a life I loved in order to protect my father’s legacy and reputation.
When my company’s future was threatened, I had no choice but to seek
assistance. The day Stella Sullivan walked into my boardroom was the day my
heart started beating again. One business proposal, from the topaz-eyed beauty,
changed my life. She tried to deny our unyielding chemistry, but I wouldn’t. I
should let her go, but I didn’t.
The smokescreen I created soon comes crashing down, forcing me to
fight for everything I love.
Stella groans lightly and rolls over. I’ve been watching her from my
desk for half an hour, trying not to wake her. But as soon as she realizes my
side of the bed is empty, she sits up dazed. Her head turns toward the bathroom
and then turns to me.
“What are you doing?” she asks sleepily.
“Working a bit.”
“What time is it?”
“A little after seven.”
“Why the hell are you up? Do you ever sleep?” She falls back onto my
bed and the sheets slip down her naked body.
I jump to my feet and make my way to her side of the bed in a
second. “Yeah, I slept, then I worked out, showered, and decided to work until
you woke up.”
“You worked out? Showered? What the hell is wrong with you? I
thought we weren’t going anywhere this morning.”
She throws an arm over her eyes and I take the opportunity to kiss
the skin up to her elbow, then pull her arm down so she has no choice but to
look at me.
“I didn’t go anywhere. I have a home gym down the hall. I showered
because I was gross, and we are staying here this morning. We have a meeting at
ten, but until then, it’s us.”
“You have a home gym? Where?”
“Yeah, babe, there’s about two thousand square feet you’ve not seen
yet. Two more rooms and a gym.”
“What?”
“Babe, you’ve only been here a few times, I haven’t had time to show
you.”
“This is a whole lot of information for me this early, without
coffee. Remember I’m not a morning person.”
“So you keep saying, but I love proving you wrong.” I kiss her
softly and slide my hand under the sheets and down until it reaches her pelvic
bone.
My fingertips run lightly back and forth from hipbone to hipbone
until her breath catches. Every time I hear that small sound, I know she’s
getting turned on. Then my hand slinks lower to her slick heat and I press one
finger in, sliding her wetness back and forth. “You are the best morning person
I know.”
“That’s because you give me orgasms before my
coffee.”
Ahren spent her formative years living in an active volcano. There
her family made collectible lava art. She studied rock collecting at the
Sorbonne in France. There she met the love of her life-her pet pig Sybil. She
returned to the states and started writing. She is happily married to a guy who
used to live under a bridge and she met while pole-dancing. They have one
amazing daughter.
Now, meet the real me. I grew up in the south and consider myself a
true “Southerner”. Most of the special locations mentioned in my books are
reflections of my favorite places. Living on the Florida coast, my family
spends a lot time at the beach which is where I usually can be found with a
book in my hand. I started writing my Surrender Series, in the spring of 2013
and have received incredible support from the Indie community. Throughout this
year, I have been privileged to meet some amazing people that I am thankful to
have in my life.
