Darling Noelle

He likes knowing exactly what he wants. Then he meets Noelle.

Marcus Reed came to Dubai for business.

Newly single and in no mood for complications, he intends to close the deal, enjoy a drink or two, and return home with his carefully ordered life intact.

Then he notices the woman in red.

Noelle is elegant, provocative, wickedly observant, and completely unimpressed by a man who is accustomed to being the most confident person in the room.

She doesn't flirt the way Marcus expects.

She doesn't answer the questions he thinks he is asking.

And the longer they talk, the more intrigued he becomes by a woman who seems to know exactly how much trouble a little curiosity can cause.

Marcus likes control.

Noelle likes surprises.

Dubai is a long way from home.

Perhaps that is exactly the problem.

Or perhaps it is the opportunity.

One night can be explained away. Wanting more is harder.

From the Author

Darling Noelle began with a man who believes he knows himself very well, and a woman who finds that confidence far too tempting to leave unchallenged.

I wanted Noelle to be more than a beautiful stranger or a provocative surprise. She has her own life, her own confidence, her own defenses, and her own reasons for being careful about the men she lets close.

Marcus and Noelle interested me because the balance between them never stays still. Seduction becomes curiosity. Control changes hands. Assumptions become considerably less reliable.

Beneath the erotic tension, this is a story about how difficult it can be to know what we really want until somebody gives us permission to stop pretending we already have the answer.
