Trust me?
Jenifer Taylor is
content with her life, dull and boring as it is. Being absent from the
dating scene means she doesn’t have to deal with the major trust issues
she has with men that stem from a controlling and aggressive
ex-boyfriend and an absentee father. She’s happy being alone, sharing
her life with her friends and family.
When Jeni starts a typical
day in the big city of Mornington Vale, California, it turns from bad to
worse when she’s involved in a chain collision on her way to work.
Her
world changes forever that day because she meets Aiden O’Connell, the
billionaire son of Alistair O’Connell, who owns Mornington Vale’s
largest financial corporation. Aiden is an up-and-coming young
businessman who's ready to take on the vice presidency of his father’s
company. He is the good son, and it’s imperative to Alistair that Aiden
succeed and follow in his footsteps. Life for Aiden involves working
hard and not much else.
After the accident, however, Aiden’s
world changes as well. He finds Jeni irresistible and instantly pursues
her. With some coaxing, she eventually agrees to a date, and the
attraction is mutual.
Jeni finds love quickly with Aiden, but
trusting him is another issue. When to trust is tested in many
different ways but comes to a head when Aiden is investigated for a
serious crime. As her trust issues spark, she is forced to go through a
journey of self-discovery.
She must decide once and for all whether she trusts the man she loves when she’s asked the ultimate question: “Do you trust me?”
Excerpt
I turn to face
him; he puts his other arm around me. We are in the same position as
before when the last kiss attempt failed. My arms are tight around
his neck, his arms around my waist. I look down. He lifts up my chin
so I’m lost in his gaze. His hand goes back to my waist. He
swallows; I think he’s as nervous as I am. He tilts his head and
leans in … I back away quickly.
“What’s
wrong?” he asks, looking hurt.
“Oh, no, it’s
not you. I think … I might have garlic breath.”
He laughs and
pulls me back to him. “So do I.” He pulls me in tighter, and
before I know what’s happening, his lips are on mine. I give in and
surrender to him completely.
This feels like
one of my fantasies, only way, way better. He holds me tight as one
hand moves from my waist to caress my cheek, kissing me softly but
sensually. My hands move to the back of his head, and I grab a lock
of hair in each hand. He moves our bodies so that I’m against the
railing at the edge of the deck. He moves his hand from my waist to
hold the rail as I still grasp his hair. The kissing becomes
feverishly passionate; his tongue against mine as they intertwine
with each other. Our breathing becomes faster and erratic. Our
kissing becomes more intimate. We are in perfect sync with each
other. I pull him closer to me, our whole bodies touching. My heart
is pounding fast and hard. His hand moves from my face to the back of
my head, pulling me tight. He moves my hair from the side of my neck,
breaks our kiss and kisses my neck slowly and seductively. I sigh and
breathe in a stuttering motion. I open my eyes to see the waitress
standing there, gawking at us. I stiffen as I see her. He pulls back
and looks at me. With my eyes, I gesture toward the waitress. He
turns, looks, and lets out a little huff. He leans in towards me.
“Now that’s a
first kiss,” he whispers as he grabs my hand and leads me over to
the table. I can’t help but smile.
Love me?
In the first book of The
Trust Me? Trilogy, Jeni Taylor finds the love of her life, but as the
second book begins, she finds herself lost without Aiden O’Connell,
who’s been wrongly convicted of embezzlement charges and incarcerated.
She must find the strength within to help prove he’s innocent while
dealing with other issues. Aiden’s father, Alastair, still taunts her,
making life between Jeni and Aiden more difficult, and an unexpected
visitor enters their lives, creating havoc and turning it upside down.
Jeni’s trust issues return in a major way after an incident leaves her
fragile and broken. Aiden and Jeni find themselves going through more
trials and tribulations than ever before in this second installment of
the Trust Me? Trilogy. In the end, Jeni will be asked the ultimate
question: Do you still love me?
Excerpt
My nerves start
to get the better of me, I start to feel nauseous; those darn pesky
butterflies attack again. I’m not sure why I’m nervous, whether
it’s the shoes making me unstable or whether it’s the memory of
our first date, our first touch, or our first kiss that’s making me
bashful.
I turn the corner to see him standing there with a
bunch of red roses, in the suit that he changed into earlier, this
time with a baby pink tie on. Behind him is that gorgeous waterfall
cascading down the cliff with the lush greenery surrounding us. As I
take a step closer, I hear music playing. “Thank You for Loving Me”
by Bon Jovi. It’s our song. I feel my eyes welling up as all the
emotion and love I feel for this man is becoming too much to
bear.
His smile is beaming from ear to ear when I approach.
Finally I reach him. He holds out his hand for me to take. I take it,
and he pulls me into a tight embrace.
“This is perfect,” I
whisper.
“Perfection for perfection, my love.” He kisses my
cheek, and places the bouquet of flowers on the railing.
All of me?
