Excerpt and Giveaway: Late Call (Call #1) by Emma Hart

Release Date: May 1st, 2014

Description: 18+

She’s a high class call girl. He’s taking over his father’s business.
Seven years ago, they fell in love in Paris.
They walked away at the end of the summer, never imagining they’d meet again.
Now he’s her client.

We fell in love the way you jump from a cliff. Hard and fast with a reckless sense of abandon. The six weeks we spent together changed my life, but at seventeen, I was naive. I was a dreamer. A believer.

Now I’m twenty-four and cynical. I don’t believe in love. There’s no place for such emotions as a high class escort. The only things I’m allowed to feel are physical – and that’s why it’s so damn hard when the client of a last minute job turns out to be the man I left in France seven years ago. When he buys me for six weeks at triple my rate, my agent makes it clear I have no choice but to take the job despite our previous relationship. And my heart makes it very clear I have to stay firmly on top of the cliff this time.

Because for six weeks, I once again belong to Aaron Stone.

Where do you draw your ideas for characters from? Are they ever based on real people?

The characters really form in my mind on their own – it’s that easy and that hard to create them! I never base them on real people, especially not anyone I know, but I tend to take certain phrases/quirks/likes from people and apply those. You may have noticed my female MCs are all kind of sarcastic and snarky, and that would be a bit of my own personality creeping in. ;)

EXCERPT



“Don’t think I didn’t notice what you did back there,” he says in a low voice. 

“I have no idea what you’re talking about.” I give him my best innocent eyes. 

His lips quirk into that smirk, and he steps forward when the barman disappears again. He rests his hand on my waist, his fingers flexing against the lace of my dress, and drops his eyes to mine. 

“No, you have no idea of the effect you have on men simply by walking past them.” 

“Not at all.” I run my fingers up his stomach, ignoring the feeling of solid muscle there, and tweak his bow tie. “It’s not my job to know the effect I have on them, rather, merely to affect them.” 

“Well let me say you do it…” He bends his head toward mine. “…Spectacularly.” 

“Thank you.” I pull on the tie harder and it unravels, hanging loosely around his neck, and I undo the top button of his shirt. 

“What are you doing?” 

I lean up and rest my mouth by his ear. “Giving people something to talk about. Isn’t that what I’m supposed to be doing?” My thigh brushes against his as I cross my legs. 

“It’s absolutely what you should be doing.” Aaron says his words into my hair, and I turn my face into his. 

“Then you should stop questioning me and allow me to do it.” 

His hand flattens against my back, drawing us closer. “You play a dangerous game, Dayton.” 

“It’s only dangerous if you don’t trust the person standing in front of you – if you don’t know their breaking point.” 

“What makes you think you know mine?” 

I smile against his cheek. “Have you forgotten? I know your breaking point and your tipping point, and I know exactly how to get you there.” 

“It’s been seven years, as you keep reminding me. What if it’s changed?” 

“I’m very good at adapting.” I pull back so a whisper of air hovers between our lips. “But it hasn’t changed a bit.”
