In order to secure his place as his father's successor, David Lawson must settle down with a wife befitting the future head of Lawson Enterprises - and who could fit the prerequisite better than lovely Claire Chatfield? There is just one glitch - David Lawson is in love with another woman.
Alec Brunell has never lacked for women's attention, but he finds himself at a loss when faced with his downstairs neighbor, Claire Chatfield. Still, her iciness only adds fuel to his fire, as Alec is determined to change Claire's view of him.
This Tangled Thing Called Love follows the story of four people searching for love - will they have the courage to find it?
Read on for an exciting excerpt from Marie Astor's "This Tangled Thing Called Love":
Claire
smiled and lifted the glass to her lips – she loved it when David
called her his girl – there was something so old-world about it. “So,
how was your day?” she asked him.
“There
was only one good thing about it – looking forward to seeing you.”
David squeezed her hand and Claire thought she was going to literally
melt under his gaze. He had had this effect on her ever since they met,
and at times, she wondered if she would ever start taking David for
granted - at the moment, it seemed impossible. “And that’s all I care to
say about my day at the office on a Saturday.” David grinned. “How was
your day, baby?”
“I had the craziest morning.”
“Oh? What happened?”
“I
got a new neighbor and he was playing his music really loud...” The
image of Alec’s bare torso materialized in Claire’s mind as she
remembered him moving to the sensual tango music. Flustered, she halted
into silence – here she was, sitting across the most desirable man in
all of New York and most likely in the world, having ridiculous thoughts
about her impertinent neighbor.
“There you are!” Amber sidled into the seat next to David.
For once, Claire was glad of Amber’s interruption.
“Aren’t you two going to dance?”
As if on cue, a deafening blast of techno filled the room.
Claire glanced at the empty dance floor and shook her head. “Oh, you know us, Amber - David and I don’t dance.”
“That’s right.” David nodded. “I can think of far better things to do with my girl than grinding on the dance floor.”
Even
David Lawson had an imperfection - it was his utter lack of rhythm and
music timing – an idiosyncrasy that Claire found most endearing when she
overheard David singing in the shower. David took care to stay off the
dance floor, and Claire adored him all the more for it.
