When you read a blurb like this...Well, talk about being hooked. Look...
In
a world with more than six billion people, a perfect partner exists for
everyone. Katherine waited years to find hers, only to discover she has two.
Unfortunately, her handsome, filthy rich suitor isn't one of them. When she
spurns his advances, nothing can save Katherine and her soul mates from his
wrath.
Chapter One
Katherine glanced at her phone, merely to confirm her suspicions,
then hit the button to silence the annoying thing. Helen left another voice
mail, as if believing seven would be the magic number to prompt her
stepdaughter to return her call.
I wish she would quit bugging me. I've already told her I
won't date Geoffrey Werner, regardless of the size of his bank account or his
abundant good looks.
Helen had described him as a Greek god in a business suit, with
penetrating green eyes and black hair made for a woman's fingers.
Go ahead, give in, wimp. She picked up her phone to make the call. What harm could
there be in one date with a filthy rich Greek god?
"Hello?"
"Hey, Helen. I wasn't avoiding you." Liar.
"They're running me crazy over here. Raoul has a big show coming up, and
we're short on models. He's threatening to use another agency unless we can
bring in some new top-notch talent in the next ten days. Basically, the fate of
the whole agency is resting squarely on my shoulders. But no pressure, right?
So, what's up? I've got a couple of minutes before I have to meet with a
potential recruit." Let me guess, Geoffrey wants to know when I'm going
to stop being such a tight ass and go out with him? I hope he's as nice as he
is hot.
"I know you're busy, honey, so I won't keep you. It's just,
Geoffrey really wants to meet you. He's stopping by this evening for cocktails,
and I thought you might like to join us. It doesn't have to be anything formal,
just pop in on your way home from work, say, sevenish."
"Helen, if I meet this guy, will you promise to quit
badgering me, even if I don't like him?" Maybe this is an opportunity I
shouldn't pass up. Who knows, it could be fate. I've refused to even talk to
him, but he won't give up. I suppose persistence could be a good sign.
"Kathy, you'll like him. Ray better be glad I'm not
twenty-five years younger, because I'd be all over that."
Ray better not turn his back, or you'll be all over that.
What a terrible thing to think. It's true, but it's still not nice. "Promise you'll let it go."
"Honey, you've got to give up this childish fantasy about
finding your perfect man. There is no such thing as a soul mate. You need to
stop reading those damn romance novels and get your head into reality. You have
the opportunity of a lifetime being handed to you. Don't throw it away because
of some ridiculous notion."
"Jesus, Helen, do you always have to preach?" I like
romance novels. It's not childish to want to meet the right guy. I don't want
to settle for just anyone because I'm afraid of being alone. I think I'd rather
be alone than get stuck in a bad relationship with Mr. Wrong. Yep, all the kids
will stand on the corner pointing and laughing at me when I hobble down the
street. Ha ha, look at the old spinster. She's ninety-five years old, and she
never got laid. She's been sitting in front of her window every day since her
fifth birthday, waiting for her soul mate.
"Kathy, I don't know how else to get through that thick head
of yours. One day you'll thank me for being so insistent. Come meet him. Who
knows, maybe he's the one you've been waiting for."
Hum, maybe he is the one. God knows I've been waiting long
enough. Maybe I'll gaze into his eyes
and see the man of my dreams. He'll take me into his arms, press his lips to
mine, and I'll lose myself in his sensuous embrace. I'll open my mouth and
caress his tongue with mine. My nipples will tighten, and my body will tremble
with desire, as my... Someone rapped on her office window. Katherine
glanced up and spotted her boss, Lynda, looking in as she strolled by.
"Helen, I have to get back to work. I'll see you at seven. Tell Ray I said
hello."

Hi Raven. Thanks for having me! It's great to be part of the Breathless Press community of authors, where everyone is so willing to lend a hand to a newbie like me. Being my debut novel, I don't have a clue how Guardian Angel will be received by readers. I can only hope everyone has as much fun reading as I had writing it.
