This
Montgomery Has a Head for Business
Working for Zach Montgomery is
challenging on many levels-coming from a wealthy and powerful family, he lives
by his own rules and doesn't answer to anyone. But Gabriella Martine has no
intention of backing down. She's used to handling stubborn men, and it doesn't
hurt that Zach is smart, charismatic...and gorgeous.
And a Heart for Adventure
Zach's perfect world is turned
upside down when a climbing accident leaves him broken, angry, and maddeningly
dependent. In his slow quest for recovery, Gabriella is always there to
help...but as Zach comes to see his beautiful assistant in a new light, he is
forced to re-evaluate what it really means to be a man worthy of Gabriella's
love.
Reaching across the
table, Zach took one of Gabriella’s hands in his and just marveled at how soft
it was. He always wondered what her skin felt like and now that he knew, he
wanted to feel more. “Don’t leave me. Please.”
Her blue eyes filled
with tears and she used her free hand to quickly wipe them away before they
fell and then studied their hands on the table. “Zach,” she said softly, “we’ve
been over this.”
“I know, I know,” he
replied just as softly. “I need another chance, Gabriella. I need a chance to
make things right.” He looked up, his gaze meeting hers. “I need you.”
Deciding to be bold,
he turned her hand over and twined their fingers together and gently squeezed.
He was surprised she didn’t pull away and thought maybe—just maybe—they were
making progress. “I know I can’t erase the things I’ve said and done, but if
you’ll give me one more chance, Gabs, I promise not to screw up. If I do
anything to upset you, you can walk away. Hell, you can slap me in the face,
kick me in the shin or throw something heavy at me and I’ll take it. I just…I
can’t do this without you.”
Her eyes never left
their joined hands.
“I don’t want to do
this without you,” he said quietly.
“I’m afraid to…believe
you.” He barely heard her words, they were uttered so softly.
Everything inside of
him clenched with pain. His always confident, ever-efficient assistant was now
distrusting and uncertain—because of him. “I don’t know what to say to make you
believe me. Tell me. Tell me what I need to do. Anything. Anything you need
from me to gain your confidence, and I’ll do it.”
She looked up at him.
“It’s not that easy. Every day I walked into the office, I gave you another
chance. Every time you berated me or made me feel like I screwed up and I came
back, I gave you another chance. From my standpoint, you’ve had two years’
worth of second chances. I think I’ve been more than generous.”
His other hand reached
out to cup her hand in both of his. “I know you have and you have no idea how
much I appreciated it.” She looked at him with disbelief. “It’s true! I know I
never said it but every morning you were there, I was thankful. Every time you
walked into my office, I was thankful. Please. I’m begging here, Gabs.”

Bestseller/contemporary romance writer
Samantha Chase released her debut novel, Jordan's Return, in November 2011.
Although she waited until she was in her 40's to publish for the first time,
writing has been a lifelong passion. Her motivation to take that step was her
students: teaching creative writing to elementary age students all the way up
through high school and encouraging those students to follow their writing
dreams gave Samantha the confidence to take that step as well.
When she's not working on a new
story, she spends her time reading contemporary romances, playing way too many
games of Scrabble or Solitaire on Facebook and spending time with her husband
of 25 years and their two sons in North Carolina.
