Excerpt
“I think this is my stop,” he muttered,
looking straight at me. “I’m not wanted in there. What do you think?” He arched
his brows, and his tone held a note of challenge.
Huh? He wants to go in with me? I gasped silently, as I was still lost in his
eyes. “I think the women in there will throw themselves at you.” I couldn’t
believe I’d said those words. I couldn’t take it back. What was I doing,
flirting with him?
He
seemed to like what he heard. His arms reached out, his muscles flexing as he
placed one on each side of me on the wall. With nowhere to go, I was trapped
inside the bubble of his arms. He leaned down toward the left side of my face
and brushed my hair with his cheek. “You smell…delicious,” he whispered.
His hot breath shot tingles to places I hadn’t expected them.
Out of nervousness and habit, my left
index finger flew inside my mouth. Max gave a crooked, naughty grin and slowly
took my hand out of my mouth. “Did you know that biting one’s finger is an
indication one is sexually deprived?” His words came out slowly, playfully, but
hot. “I can fix that for you, if you’d like.”
He did not just say that to me!
I parted my lips for a good comeback, but I couldn’t find one. Feeling my chest
rise and fall quickly, I tried to control the heated desire. Sure, he’d helped
me once, but that didn’t mean we were friends, or flirting buddies, or that I
would allow him to fix my sexual deprivation. Oh God…can guys tell if you haven’t done it in a very long time?
This had to stop or else…oh dear…I wanted to take him with me into the
restroom.
Needing to put a stop to the heat, I placed my hand on his chest… big mistake.
Touching him made the heat worse, and tingles that were already intensifying
burst through every inch of me. I had to push him away.
As if he knew what I meant to do, he pulled back, but his eyes did the talking
instead. There was no need for words; I felt his hard stare on my body, as if
he was undressing me with his gorgeous eyes. His gaze was powerful, as if his
eyes were hands; I felt them all over me, completely unraveling me.
Just when I
thought I was going to faint, his eyes shifted to mine again. “It was really
nice to meet you, Jenna. I’m sure we’ll see each other again, real soon. I
better let you go. Your someone must be waiting for you. By the way….” There was a pause as he
charmed me with his eyes again. “You…took my breath away. If I were your
someone, I wouldn’t let you out of my sight for even a second, because someone
like me will surely try to whisk you away.” He winked and left.
Synopsis
She didn’t know what she was missing…until he found her.
Maxwell Knight was positively trouble, dangerously good-looking,
and seductively charming. He was everything Jeanella didn’t need in her life.
Only Maxwell didn’t see it that way. His pursuit was relentless, making her
even more determined to push him away.
Fresh out of college, life was simple and plain for Jeanella
Mefferd. Every part of her life was smooth sailing; her friends, her job,
and even the guy she’d started dating. Then one night, while at dinner, she
spotted someone who made her feel things she’d never felt before—dangerous,
heart pounding and breathless heat. Thinking she would never see him again, she
brushed it off, but when she started to run into him unexpectedly, all she
could think of was how he made her feel with his sweet flirtations. Everything
about Maxwell Knight screamed trouble, especially when she found out he was her
new boss’s son. Now, heading to a New York fashion show, would she be able to
focus on her career instead of Maxwell, who had been scheduled to attend with
her? As much as she tried to forget their encounters, his good looks, smooth
words and determination to win her over gravitated her toward him. The next
thing she knew, her mind was utterly consumed by him. Would she be willing to
ignore all the dangerous signs and jump into his arms? Or would she miss out on
the chance of finding something great?

beloved grandmother, and inspired by a dream she once had as a young girl. When
she started reading new adult novels, she fell in love with the genre. It was
the reason she had to write one-Something Great. Why the pen name, M Clarke?
