Part 25 (2/2)

Something in Glen's edgy tone lifted the fine hairs on her nape. What, exactly, did that mean? People often a.s.sumed they knew her from the big screen-and now, because of her debut in the New Zealand TV drama, High Rollers, people a.s.sumed they knew her intimately, as if the small screen made her that much more accessible. People would be wrong.

Blue eyes drilled into her, the mocking angle of his jaw eliciting a flicker of memory... nope. Nothing. She must be getting paranoid.

Savannah c.o.c.ked her head. ”I'm trying to negotiate a deal.”

”There's no deal to be negotiated. I'm not one of your yes men.” He made the words yes men sound as if they were interchangeable with the words man wh.o.r.es. ”And since you were so generous with your offer of a night at Sea Mist, I'll give you some legal advice. On the house. Unless you want to drag this through the Tenancy Tribunal court, by which time the fixed-term agreement will already be over, you're best to turn around and go back to the city. I'm not leaving until the eighteenth.”

Then he sauntered back inside, flicking a hand behind him to slam shut the door.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR.

I live in the Coolest Little Capital in the World (a.k.a Wellington, New Zealand) where I've yet to be buried under my to-be-read book pile by our infamous wind-my Kindle's a lifesaver! Married to a wonderfully supportive IT guy we have two teens who would love to be surgically linked to their electronic devices.

Fuelled by copious amounts of coffee, I'm the author of contemporary romantic fiction set predominantly in New Zealand. Small-towns, close communities, and families are a big part of the heart-warming stories I love to write. Oh, and hot, down-to-earth heroes-Kiwi men, in other words.

When I'm not writing, thinking about writing, or procrastinating about writing, I can be found reading s.e.xy books of all romance genres, nibbling on smuggled chocolate bars or bribing my kids to take over the housework.

Thanks to the many RWA compet.i.tion judges who gave me such amazing feedback on this story and helped hone it into the best it could be.

Also thanks to my wonderful editor who is still so patient with all my dangling modifiers and impossible simultaneous action.

I lived in the Far North region for over a decade and it still remains very close to my heart. Thanks to my husband's family who bought the land up there and welcomed me into their whnau.

I am most at peace when walking on the beautiful sandy beaches or listening to the sound of kerer swooping through the Kauri on our land.

It truly is the home of my heart.
