She had often wondered why he  came to her pub but stuck to soft drinks. Seeing him slowly sliding  down towards the bar, his head propped up on his hand and his eyes  closed, she was no longer surprised that he lay off the booze. He  couldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t handle it.<\/p>\n<p>His scruffy sandy locks fell forwards when his head slipped from his  hand and he jerked up. He rolled his eyes a few times while blinking and  then pulled a face as he inspected the damp elbow of his black shirt  and the wet bar where he had been leaning. A sigh lifted his shoulders  and he stared at the half-full glass of whisky in front of him. Perhaps  she should have cut him off after his third, but his charming smile had  persuaded her to supply him with a fourth, and a fifth. She regretted it  now. At the time, he had looked as though he would be fine. Now, he  looked as though he was going to pass out.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps she shouldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t have given him the first shot. What if he didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t  drink because he was an alcoholic and she had just ruined his recovery?  She could never live with herself if that was the case.<\/p>\n<p>She handed some change to a patron and walked along the length of the  dark wooden bar to Lukas, neatening her appearance as she did so. She  tugged the hem of her back baby-doll t-shirt down to sit smoothly along  the waist of her black jeans, and combed her fingers through her long  red hair. She always felt as though she looked like a mess when things  got frantic behind the bar, and she wanted to look her best for Lukas.<\/p>\n<p>The pub was quieter now that it was approaching closing time. A few  regulars remained along with a group of people she didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t recognise that  sat in the corner near the old bay windows. She could finally speak to  Lukas without interruption.<\/p>\n<p>Annelie leaned on the damp bar opposite Lukas and swept his fair hair  out of his eyes. He leaned away, almost fell off his stool, and then  looked at her. She felt an all too familiar jolt when his green eyes met  her brown ones and her heart fluttered in her chest when he smiled  lopsidedly.<\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153You okay?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d She went to take her hand away but he took hold of it, bringing it down to the bar and toying with her fingers.<\/p>\n<p>His gaze fell there, a look of fascination entering his eyes, and she told herself not to read into it.<\/p>\n<p>So what if this was the first bordering-on-intimate contact they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d had?  So what if he had made her heart stop the moment he had first walked  into her pub three years ago and it had stopped every time she had seen  him since? It didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t mean anything.<\/p>\n<p>At least, it didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t mean anything to him.<\/p>\n<p>Sure, they had talked and whiled away the hours, and Lukas was an  amazing listener and always seemed genuinely interested in her problems  and helping her solve them, but he had never once shown any interest in  her beyond friendship.<\/p>\n<p>She wished that he would.<\/p>\n<p>He was drop dead gorgeous. Six feet plus of masculine beauty. And she  wanted to pounce on him whenever he walked through the door.<\/p>\n<p>Which had been almost every other night until recently.<\/p>\n<p>He had gone away for three long weeks without a word, leaving her  wondering if something terrible had happened to him. Then the moment he  walked back into her life, he hit the drink, hard.<\/p>\n<p>Lukas didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t answer her. His green gaze remained fixed on her hand and  he turned it this way and that, his hands warm and gentle against hers.  Her heart whispered that this was interest beyond friendship.<\/p>\n<p>Someone stepped up to the bar at the far end and she waved to Andy to  serve him. She couldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t leave Lukas until she knew what was going on in  his head and why he was suddenly drinking, or at least until she was  sure he wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t about to fall off his stool and hurt himself.<\/p>\n<p>Annelie bent lower so she could see his face. His gaze finally left her  hand and met hers again, bright in the lights from the rows of drinks  behind her.<\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I said you okay?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d She searched his eyes.<\/p>\n<p>His pupils were wide. He raked his gaze down over her chest, fire  following in its wake, and then back up to her face. It remained fixed  there, as though he was studying her, intense and focused. A blush crept  onto her cheeks.<\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Hell of a week.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d His reply was so quiet that she barely heard him.<\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153You\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve been gone three.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n<p>His eyebrows rose. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Three?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n<p>She nodded. He released her hand and ran his over the messy  finger-length strands of his hair, preening it back. He brought his hand  down, pinched the bridge of his nose and screwed his eyes shut.<\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Hell of a three weeks.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Lukas smiled but she saw straight through it.<\/p>\n<p>Something was up. Andy tried to call her over but she waved him away  again. Andy had been tending bar long enough to handle problems on his  own now. Lukas needed to talk. She had seen it the moment he had sat  down tonight, but the pub had been so busy that she hadn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t been able to  talk to him other than taking his order. He had never really spoken much  about himself and the one time he needed to she hadn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t made time for  him. He had always made time to listen to her. What sort of friend was  she?<\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I was wondering where you were.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Her tone was jest but her heart meant the words.<\/p>\n<p>Lukas looked at her as though hearing that had made his day and then  dropped his gaze to his drink. He ran his finger around the rim of the  whisky glass and then sighed.<\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Sorry about that.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n<p>She never had been able to place his accent. It wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t British. She had  asked him about it once and he had simply said that he had lived in  many places. She had told him her whole life story and he hadn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t even  told her where he was from. She was fine with that though. It added a  sense of mystery to him that she liked.<\/p>\n<p>He picked up his glass and she took it from him.<\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I think you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve had enough of that.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d She tipped the contents away  behind the bar and stashed the glass there. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153How are you getting home  tonight?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n<p>He frowned, propped his head up on his palm, and closed his eyes. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153The usual way.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t let you drive.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n<p>A smile curved his delicious lips. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t drive. I fly.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n<p>She laughed. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Well, I can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t let you drink and fly.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n<p>He was drunk if he thought he could fly home.<\/p>\n<p>Annelie covered his other hand with hers and he opened his eyes, their  green depths meeting hers again. They were sharper now but not enough to  satisfy her.<\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll give you a lift if you wait until we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve closed.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Hopefully he  would have sobered up a little by then and could direct her to his  place. She had never seen him outside work before.<\/p>\n<p>He stared into her eyes for what felt like hours and then nodded.  Annelie took her hand back and smiled, relieved that he would wait for  her. She didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t want him going home alone and perhaps she could talk to  him during the drive and find out why he was suddenly drinking.<\/p>\n<p>The bar would close in twenty minutes but it would be at least another  hour before she had finished cleaning up. She glanced back at Lukas. He  rested his arm on the counter and used it as a pillow, his eyes closing.  He hadn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t drunk that much, but it was still best that he slept it off.  Andy would go home when the pub closed and she would be quiet while she  counted the money and cleaned the place.<\/p>\n<p>Before long, the pub was empty except for her and Lukas. Annelie tied  her long red hair back into a ponytail and wiped the bar down, avoiding  disturbing Lukas as he slept. She stopped by him and stared at his face.  He looked so peaceful and gorgeous when asleep. She hesitated and then,  with her heart in her mouth, brushed the tangled strands of his fair  hair from his forehead. His lips parted and he murmured something. She  smiled and brushed his skin again, lightly so he wouldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t wake, but  enough contact to make her feel a little giddy. When had she fallen for  him? It had come on so slowly over the past three years that she hadn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t  realised she had those sorts of feelings for Lukas until he had gone  away, and then she had been worried that he wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t coming back.<\/p>\n<p>But here he was again, at her bar in the same stool he always occupied, and she was happy to see him.<\/p>\n<p>Even if he was asleep.<\/p>\n<p>He stirred and blinked slowly, as though trying to wake himself.<\/p>\n<p>Annelie didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t take her hand back. She was feeling brave tonight.<\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153How are you feeling?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d She combed her fingers through his hair.<\/p>\n<p>Lukas frowned, his green eyes fixed on the distance, and then groaned. She took that as a negative answer.<\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153No better yet?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n<p>He nodded, moving her hand with him, and she stroked the curve of his  ear. A smile touched his lips and then faded again when he closed his  eyes.<\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m almost done. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll have you home soon.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d She went to walk away but  he caught her wrist, sat up, and looked at her with such earnest eyes  that her heart beat harder.<\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I ever tell you that you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re pretty?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Those words rocked her to her  core. Her pulse raced and her throat turned dry. She shook her head and  he reached out with his other hand and ran the backs of his fingers down  her cheek. There was nothing but honesty and warmth in his eyes. They  sparkled with it, looking brighter now even though the lights were  lower, entrancing her. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Your beauty puts angels to shame.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n<p>Annelie tried to convince herself that it was the drink talking. Tried  and failed. She had worked in pubs since she was in her early twenties,  almost ten years ago, and had run this one since her parents had retired  early. She had enough experience to spot levels of inebriation. Lukas\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s  eyes were sharper and his words weren\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t slurred. He wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t drunk  anymore. He was definitely still tipsy, but that excuse didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t hold with  her heart. It believed him. He really did think that she was beautiful.  She blushed. It burned her cheeks before she could get the better of  herself. She worked at a bar. She was used to men telling her that she  was beautiful at the end of the night, but the way Lukas said it, the  fact that it was him, made her believe him.<\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153You really are.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d His hand slipped from her cheek to her jaw and he  grazed his fingers along the curve of it. He smiled and her heart  thudded. He was beautiful. She had never seen a man like him, with such  deep green eyes and a smile that could make her heart pound and body  tremble. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Beautiful.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Hush.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d She took his hand away from her face and held it a moment. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Quit making me blush, Lukas.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n<p>His smile held. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I love the way you say my name. Say it again.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n<p>Annelie rolled her eyes. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Lukas.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Not like that.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d He drew his hand towards him, luring her with it,  until she was close to him. She stared into his eyes, her mind racing  forwards to contemplate things it shouldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t be. He wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t going to kiss  her. Even if he was looking more sober now, she couldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t let things go  down that avenue. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Say it like you mean it. Like you said it just then.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n<p>Annelie looked deep into his eyes, lost in them and the way the flecks  of pale gold seemed to shift and move against their emerald backdrop,  and blinked slowly. Her voice dropped to a whisper. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Lukas.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Mmm, that is more like it.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d He pulled her closer and tilted his head.<\/p>\n<p>Annelie broke free, pulse rocketing, and ignored the disappointed look  on his face. She couldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t kiss him, no matter how tempting it was.<\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Let me finish cleaning and I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll take you home.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d She hurried away to  the other end of the bar, not daring to look back at Lukas, not while  she wanted to kiss him and was weak enough to go through with it.<\/p>\n<p>By the time she had finished cleaning, Lukas was looking far more sober  and he was watching her. Annelie could feel his eyes on her, following  her around the room as she placed the chairs upside down on the tables.  She would wash the floor in the morning before opening time.<\/p>\n<p>She walked over to Lukas and he turned on the stool to face her. His  eyes held fire that burned within her, enticing her to kiss him after  all. She cleared her throat, averted her gaze, and nodded towards the  door.<\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Come on.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d She didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t wait for him to get down off the stool. She  started towards the door and Lukas was soon beside her. She snuck a  glance at him. He always looked good in the black shirt and jeans he  wore. They hugged his figure just the right amount, giving subtle clues  about how sexy the body they hid was and luring her into picturing him  naked. Even when she shouldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t be.<\/p>\n<p>She closed the door behind him and locked up.<\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153You okay?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d She pocketed her keys and started down the quiet dark road with him towards the car park at the back of the pub.<\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I have been better.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d He tilted his head back, staring up at the night  sky, and sighed. There was such a look of melancholy in his eyes. What  was he thinking?<\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Where did you go, Lukas?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d She took her car keys out of her pocket,  turned the corner into the car park, and pressed the button on the fob.  The lights on her small car flashed. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I really was worried about you.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n<p>He stopped and looked at her. She turned and met his gaze, letting him  see that she wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t just saying that. He had disappeared without a word  and it had frightened her. She had missed him. He stepped up to her and  touched her face again, his palm warm against her cheek. His eyes held  hers and she swore she saw another flicker of affection in them.<\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I had to go away. I should have told you, Annelie. I should not have  worried you.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d There was black magic in his voice and the way he said her  name, soft but with an underlying note of passion, and she was under  his spell. He stroked her cheek, sending a shiver through her, and  smiled into her eyes. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I did not think I would be gone so long. I  promise I will not do it again.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n<p>Annelie told herself to break free but she couldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t. She didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t want  to. She wanted to stand there in the warm night, feeling hot from head  to toe because of Lukas\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s caress and the ardent look in his eyes. She  wanted to believe that his words meant what she thought they did and  that he liked her and things between them would be different now. She  hadn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t looked at another man since Lukas had walked into her life, had  dreamed the impossible of him falling for her, and now it felt as though  the impossible was possible after all.<\/p>\n<p>Lukas wanted her as much as she wanted him.<\/p>\n<p>She stepped into his embrace, her heart thundering against her chest,  and stared up into his eyes. His fingers stroked her neck, his thumb  brushing over her chin and then under her jaw. He tilted her head back,  his eyes fixed on hers, and lowered his mouth. She shivered when their  lips met and then pressed her hands against his firm chest and melted  into him as he kissed her. It started out slow, a bare meeting of lips,  but before she could draw another breath, his mouth covered hers and he  stole it away.<\/p>\n<p>It was everything that she had imagined it would be. She craned her  neck, slid her arms around his shoulders, and kissed him, their lips  meeting and parting, tongues tracing each other. He groaned and it was  music to her heart, driving her on. She licked his lower lip, tangled  her tongue with his, and kissed him harder, her breathing coming faster  now.<\/p>\n<p>Sense reared its ugly head but she shoved it away, not interested in  anything her mind had to say on the matter. The kiss was divine. Lukas  was divine. It didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t matter that he was still a little tipsy and that  they were kissing in the middle of an unpleasant car park. She knew in  her heart that this wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t the drink talking.<\/p>\n<p>He pulled back, breathing hard, and his eyes searched hers. The fire in  them matched the inferno burning within her. Did she look so hungry  too? She wanted to devour him.<\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Annelie&#8230;\u00e2\u20ac\u009d He started and looked as though he was going to kiss her  again, but then he stepped back. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I am sorry. If I have offended\u00e2\u20ac\u201d\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153No.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n<p>His eyes darted to hers.<\/p>\n<p>She couldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t bring herself to say it. She wanted him too. She had  wanted that kiss more than anything. She was on the brink of saying it  but other words came out instead.<\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153We should get you home.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n<p>He looked disappointed again and nodded. Annelie walked to her car,  cursing herself, feeling Lukas trailing behind her. She was aching all  over to feel his hands and lips on her again. Why couldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t she have just  said what she had wanted to? Lukas, it was fine that you kissed me  because I want to do that to you and a lot more besides. It was so easy  to say it in her head.<\/p>\n<p>She walked around the car and glanced at him. His eyes were on her  again, drifting over her body, bringing the fire back in their wake. She  burned for him. She burned so much that she felt as though she was  going to die if he didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t touch her and kiss her again, if he didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t  quench the flames as only he could.<\/p>\n<p>If she had said what she had wanted to, would he be kissing her again  now? Would that divine body be against hers and his hands be on her,  skimming over her in the way she was craving, bringing her to life with  passion and need?<\/p>\n<p>Annelie yanked the car door open and got in. Lukas slid into the  passenger seat beside her and she started the engine, put the car into  gear and drove. He was quiet, only giving her directions across London  to where he lived. When they reached it, she pulled the car to a halt in  a space outside and stared at the building. It was a beautiful pale  Georgian four-storey townhouse.<\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153You live here?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d She couldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t quite bring herself to believe it. She  had never figured Lukas for a moneyed type. He had never once looked as  though he had more than a few hundred pounds to his name.<\/p>\n<p>Lukas nodded and got out of the car, not waiting for her. Had she put  him in a bad mood? Her eyes followed him. He was walking in a straight  line, not wavering at all, and seemed sober now. If he kissed her again,  she wouldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t be able to resist him anymore. She wouldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t have a reason  to.<\/p>\n<p>Annelie stepped out, locked her car, and hurried across the quiet road  to him. He waited at the black front door of the building, his gaze on  her again. She stopped at the bottom of the steps, waiting for him to  say something. All he had to do was invite her in. If he invited her in,  she would take it as a sign that she hadn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t messed anything up and that  he still wanted her.<\/p>\n<p>His eyes held hers for what felt like hours and then he spoke.<\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I just want to be clear about one thing. I did not kiss you because of  the drink.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d He glanced away and then met her gaze again. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153There is a  reason I like to sit at the bar and talk to you, Annelie. There is a  reason I kissed you.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n<p>He looked as though he had wanted to say more but she didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t give him a  chance. She ran up the steps, threw her arms around his neck and kissed  him again. He stumbled backwards into the door and wrapped his arms  around her waist, his tongue delving into her mouth and duelling with  hers. This was Heaven. She couldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t hold in her moan.<\/p>\n<p>Lukas fumbled with the door behind him and they fell into the entrance,  still locked in each other\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s arms, their mouths fused in a kiss that  drove Annelie crazy with hunger. She moaned again and kissed him harder,  pouring out her passion and need into it until it became choppy and  rough, a clashing of lips and teeth. Lukas\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s groan sent a wave of heat  scorching through her and she gasped into his mouth when he grabbed her  backside. She hopped and wrapped her legs around his waist and he hit  the wall with her, pinning her there, his body hard against hers and  making her tremble with the images of them that flashed through her  mind. She wanted all of them to happen right now, this instant, wanted  to live out every hot dream she\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d had of Lukas.<\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Which floor?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d She managed between kisses, too hungry for him to break contact for more than a second.<\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Fourth.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d There was a laugh to his voice that brought out her smile. He  kissed her again and turned with her, heading for the stairs. Was he  serious? He couldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t carry her all the way to the fourth floor while  kissing her.<\/p>\n<p>Lukas seemed intent on proving her wrong. He held on to her, his hands  grasping her backside, his body shifting between her hips in the most  delicious way, and kissed along her jaw as he took the steps two at a  time.<\/p>\n<p>Annelie didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t pay the slightest bit of attention to her surroundings.  All she could think about was what would happen when they reached his  apartment and how good it felt to be in his arms. She kissed his throat,  earning quiet moans from him whenever she nipped it with her teeth or  sucked. The rougher she was, the louder he groaned, and it drove her on,  making her want to bite him harder.<\/p>\n<p>She wriggled against him, hot all over, moist in her knickers, and  moaned when he nibbled her neck, kissing and licking it, sending shivers  dancing over her skin and stoking the fire of her hunger for him. She  leaned her head back and he held her closer, devouring her throat,  taking her higher and higher, and not only towards his apartment.<\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Almost there,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d he whispered into her mouth and her temperature soared  with anticipation. He kissed her throat, her cheeks, and then her lips.  He paused there and said the one thing that shattered her reservations,  the one thing she had wanted to hear above all else. He breathed it  against her lips in a husky voice, turning three simple words into the  most erotic thing she had ever heard. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I want you.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n<p>Annelie trembled in his strong arms, swept away by her need and his passion, and she kissed him.<\/p>\n<p>She wanted him too.<\/p>\n<p>And she was damn well going to have him.<\/p>\n<p><b>available now at:<\/b><br \/><b>My website: <\/b><a href=\"http:\/\/www.felicityheaton.com\/ebooks.php?title=Her%20Fallen%20Angel\">http:\/\/www.felicityheaton.com\/ebooks.php?title=Her%20Fallen%20Angel<\/a><br \/><b>Alinar Publishing:<\/b> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.alinarpublishing.com\/books.php?title=Her%20Fallen%20Angel\">http:\/\/www.alinarpublishing.com\/books.php?title=Her%20Fallen%20Angel<\/a><br \/><b>Amazon Kindle:<\/b> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Her-Fallen-Angel-Romance-ebook\/dp\/B0046ZRNEG\/\">http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Her-Fallen-Angel-Romance-ebook\/dp\/B0046ZRNEG\/<\/a><br \/><b>Amazon Kindle UK:<\/b> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/Her-Fallen-Angel-Romance\/dp\/B0046ZRNEG\/\">http:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/Her-Fallen-Angel-Romance\/dp\/B0046ZRNEG\/<\/a><br \/><b>Fictionwise.com:<\/b> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fictionwise.com\/ebooks\/b114586\/Her-Fallen-Angel-\/Felicity-Heaton\/\">http:\/\/www.fictionwise.com\/ebooks\/b114586\/Her-Fallen-Angel-\/Felicity-Heaton\/?<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Her Fallen Angel is out now at my website, Amazon.com, Amazon.co.uk, Alinar Publishing and Fictionwise (where you can save 15% off the cover price until monday) Her Fallen AngelAnnelie fell for Lukas the moment he walked into her pub three &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.felicityheaton.com\/blog\/2010\/10\/16\/her-fallen-angel-paranormal-angel-romance-e-book-out-now\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[116,68,32,9,63],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-548","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-2010-releases","category-her-fallen-angel","category-new-release","category-paranormal-romance","category-urban-fantasy"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.felicityheaton.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/548","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.felicityheaton.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.felicityheaton.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.felicityheaton.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.felicityheaton.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=548"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.felicityheaton.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/548\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.felicityheaton.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=548"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.felicityheaton.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=548"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.felicityheaton.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=548"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
