Contemporary romantic fiction<\/strong>
\n Release Date: 27th June 2016<\/strong><\/p>\n

Luke is the man with the money, the fast car and the hot woman. There\u2019s no way he would even think about getting serious, but a face he can\u2019t remember soon threatens his calm.
\nRebecca isn\u2019t interested in a relationship, and definitely not with him. How could she, after all he put her through? She\u2019s spent the last 4 years hiding away from society, a one-woman crusade for children\u2019s road safety. Who would have thought one fateful day, it might almost be her … again.
\nAs two worlds collide, will opposites attract?
\nNot if she can help it.<\/p>\n

EXTRACT<\/strong><\/p>\n

Close up, she was like a porcelain doll, fragile and poised. Her skin was nearly as pale as her hair. Only her lips, with their deep pomegranate flush and those denim blue eyes brought life to an otherwise frosty palette and that dazzled him.
\nShe seemed so together now, quite a different woman from the one he had witnessed before. He tried to think of a reason to speak to her, but nothing would come to mind. She paid for her milk and butter and glanced sideways at him, so cool and detached in his presence, and then she left the shop.
\nLuke placed his tin on the counter and chased after her. The lady behind the till called out to him as he sprinted away, but he ignored her. He needed to speak to the woman.
\nHe caught up with her in a matter of seconds, catching her by the elbow as she tried to walk away. The woman turned and looked daggers at him and Luke was disarmed. He held up his hands. \u201cI\u2019m sorry.\u201d He took a step back. \u201cI just wanted to apologise for the other day.\u201d
\nThe woman said nothing, just looked at him and Luke felt his confidence slipping.
\n\u201cI \u2026 I shouldn\u2019t have left you there on the side of the road.\u201d
\n\u201cYou shouldn\u2019t have tried to knock me down in the first place,\u201d she shot back, before he could blink.
\nLuke had not been prepared for an attack. \u201cEr. No. But you did step out in front of me.\u201d
\n\u201cWell you should have been paying more attention, shouldn\u2019t you?\u201d
\n\u201cI should\u2026?\u201d
\nShe tried to turn away.
\n\u201cLook.\u201d This was definitely not going to plan. \u201cI just wanted to say I was sorry.\u201d
\n\u201cWhat for, in particular?\u201d
\nWhat?
\nThe woman rolled her eyes and tried to turn away from him, but he reached for her again.
\n\u201cWait. What did you mean by that? For the other day, of course. I\u2019m sure I apologised at the time, but \u2026 you were just a bit \u2026 vacant. You probably don\u2019t remember.\u201d
\n\u201cVacant?!\u201d
\n\u201cI\u2019m sorry. What I\u2019m trying to say is I should have made sure you were okay. I had hoped we could be civil about this.\u201d Apparently not.
\n\u201cCivil is a lawsuit, Luke. Go drive your fancy car with your fancy girlfriend and leave me alone,\u201d and she stormed away from him up the road.
\nLuke\u2019s jaw hung open. Such contempt from a woman he\u2019d barely met. But the thing that had shaken him most of all, was that she seemed to know him.<\/p>\n
