    • Short Snippet Saturday: Guest Debra Andrews Stops by with One of Her Dangerous Millionaires

      Posted at 10:40 am by Mary J. McCoy-Dressel, on March 20, 2016

      I know I’m posting Short Snippet Saturday on Sunday. I wanted to see if you were paying attention. 😉 Haha, just teasing.

      Today, I invited a guest to do a Short Snippet Saturday post. Help me welcome Debra Andrews to my blog today. Thank you for sharing a snippet with us, Debra!

      The reason I am posting this on Sunday instead of yesterday is because one of her books, Dangerous Paradise, goes on sale today for a limited time.

      Enjoy a snippet from Dangerous Paradise as Debra brings us one of her millionaires from the Dangerous Millionaires Series. Meet Kelly and Alex.

      Blurb

      DANGEROUS PARADISE (Dangerous Millionaires Series) After death threats for her late father’s business crimes, a young woman escapes with her new fiancĂ© on a South Pacific cruise and becomes stranded with his associate—a cynical and devastatingly handsome Englishman—in a fish-out-of water survival game. To survive, they must put aside their differences while their attraction escalates. Unfortunately, the only people who know they are alive are those out to kill them.

      Snippet

       

      Kelly reluctantly made her way to the sunny top tier cafĂ© of the cruise ship to meet everyone for breakfast. Alex sat at an outside table, staring, with a brooding frown, toward the green mountains of Suva’s harbor––the capital of the Fiji Islands. There was no sign of her fiancĂ© Robert.

      When Alex spotted her across the restaurant, she drew in a deep breath. Too late to do a hasty retreat, she greeted Alex with a half-hearted wave. He mockingly dipped his head in return. Perhaps they could make an agreement to put that little episode in his cabin behind them, since he was Robert’s associate. She strode toward him.

      Unsmiling, Alex rose from the chair, a bitter look firmly in place in his expression. Gone was his carefree attitude of yesterday.

      “May I join you?” she asked warily.

      “Of course. We are meeting for breakfast.”

      His sarcasm stung. Kelly pulled out the chair farthest away from his at the round table.

      “Why don’t you and I start over and try to be friends, or at least be amicable?” she asked softly. “We’ll be traveling together for a while.”

      When he turned back to her, his eyes gleamed with mockery. “It won’t work. I find I want you in a way that’s none too friendly, and you know it.”

      A wave of warmth swept over her. It was worse when he leaned toward her and her pulse accelerated.

      “Now, tell me, you didn’t feel anything when I held you in my arms?” he asked.

      Her face heated. He would bring up that moment of insanity in his cabin. “You did return my kiss. Doesn’t sound like a woman who should be marrying––”

      “I told you I was afraid. I ran into your cabin to hide and you took me by surprise.”

      He chuckled. “Surprise? And I don’t believe I’ve gotten the whole story from you.” He lowered his voice. “What was in that strange letter that terrified you?”

      “It’s none of your business.” She couldn’t tell him.

      As if dismissing her distress, he propped one elbow on the table and rested his chin on his fist. “Then I have to think you really wanted to get into my cabin…

      Blurb:

      “Lies, Betrayals, and Second Chances”

      Guests have gathered for an elaborate weeklong house party before a wedding at the McAlister mansion, owned by billionaire Mr. James Farrington, patriarch of the family:

      The worst thing that could happen to Abby Warren is to run into her ex-boyfriend Jack at her best friend’s wedding. When the man who broke her heart strolls in with Abby’s beautiful ex-roommate clinging to his arm, Abby is sure things can’t get any worse. Dateless herself, Abby plans to immerse herself in the lavish, weeklong festivities at the McAlister mansion and meet someone new out of all the single, handsome men, no matter how much Jack’s being there haunts her.

      Moving back to town to purchase his family’s old company, Jack McAlister has tried to wipe away memories of Abby any way he can. After what happened between them, and the trouble she caused him, he can’t stand the reminder of everything they once shared. He is determined to stand fast against the temptation when he’s near her and the jealousy evoked when other men surround her. However, when they come face to face, old feelings surface, making them both wonder how something so right could have ended so wrong.

      As if dealing with Abby’s presence isn’t bad enough, his new girlfriend is clamoring for an engagement ring, and Jack soon becomes aware that he has enemies and business rivals—there is obviously someone who has an ax to grind and wants a bit of revenge

      She came to the company to find a Killer

      Kate Meyers is grief stricken after the news of her brother’s death at a construction site owned by wealthy Trent Farrington. After speculation of faulty equipment and wrongdoing, the police eventually clear his company. Not believing the results, Kate lands a job with the Florida Corporation to do her own investigation. When she meets Trent, Kate instantly dislikes the strikingly handsome millionaire and thinks he’s involved. Her greatest pleasure would be to see him pay for what he’s done—behind bars.

      Confirmed bachelor Trent Farrington finds himself intrigued by the company’s newest employee, but previous bad experiences with women have taught him to be cautious. However, he is drawn to the alluring beauty, but he’s puzzled that she seems to hate him for some unknown reason. He’s used to women throwing themselves at him, and her attitude shocks him and is refreshing all at the same time.

      While Kate searches for the evidence to implicate Trent, she has to work closely with him. However, the information she uncovers isn’t exactly adding up against her new boss. She dislikes how her traitorous body reacts whenever he is near, although he appears to enjoy her reaction immensely. She vows to leave the company as soon as she collects the evidence, but soon learns nothing is as it seemed

      Blurb:

      Strangers on the run for their lives

      Kelly Cochran’s late father was accused of embezzlement, causing the financial ruin of many clients. After death threats, she gets away on a South Pacific cruise to consider her options. She thinks she has her life all figured out. She’ll save the family business to repay the investors and marry her Mr. Right, her childhood crush and mentor–the wealthy movie producer Robert Hillyard. Everything is going as planned on the cruise ship until an assassination attempt on her life leaves Kelly in a life-and-death survival situation with her fiancé’s associate, Alex Drake.

      English actor Alex is devastatingly handsome and the most infuriating man she’s ever met. He’s recently out of a marriage made in Hell and vows never to remarry. The cynical playboy is the last person she’d want to be stranded with alone on a tropical island. For Alex, who wants to be the next major movie star, getting involved with Kelly is career suicide as her future husband employs him.

      Now, in a fish-out-of-water survival game and trying to find their way home, they are dependent on each other for everything, even in the depths of the night. To survive, Kelly and Alex must put aside their differences while their attraction escalates. Unfortunately, the two don’t have time to analyze their feelings for each other since the only people who know they are alive are those out to kill her.
