Four sizzling love affairs in New Zealand’s top party city. Come and play with feisty heroines and gorgeous heroes in a great harborside setting.

Hot for You - Enjoy an erotic affair with airline owner Melanie who has an outrageous offer for her chief pilot, Cody.

Excerpt:  from The Wrong Sister

“I don’t need you here,” Christian growled.


He moved close behind Fiona as she stood by the floor-to-ceiling sliders in the sunlit living area. She filled his senses. His eyes soaked up every strand of her shining hair, the stretch of her pale blue T-shirt over the curve of her shoulder, the just-glimpsed bra-strap through it. He heard her soft breathing, saw her breasts rising and falling, but she’d turned her face aside and he had no way of seeing if she bit her bottom lip in frustration or closed her eyes in annoyance. She wouldn’t be smiling, that was for sure. More like vibrating with fury. 


“I don’t want you here,” he continued, knowing it was a huge lie.


He leaned an arm on the window-frame, partly imprisoning her, but touching her nowhere. Her subtle fresh perfume wafted across to taunt him. He ached to bridge that tiny distance between them. Sensed the magnetism pulling them together. And knew that of all the women in the world, this was one he wouldn’t dare take a chance on.


Worse—the one he wanted and absolutely couldn’t have.


*


Fiona felt the heat of his body radiating across the small space between them as she stared resolutely through the glass. The view of Wellington harbor might be fantastic, but right now her imagination was consumed by his long thighs in soft old blue jeans, right behind her. Hell, she could almost feel his thighs—it was just so easy to imagine them pressing lightly along the backs of hers.


There was a right-angled rip in the fabric above one of his knees, and she’d glimpsed brown skin and dark shining hairs through the enticing gap.


She swallowed.


Since she’d padded barefoot into the huge room five minutes earlier, her eyes had been constantly drawn to the off-centre rubbed-and-faded patch of fabric at his groin. The old jeans had seen a lot of wear. Each time she looked, a delicious tingle spread through her breasts because of the giveaway condition of the denim. If she touched him right there…


Stop it! Stop it! This is the last thing I need. I can’t give in or the whole deal becomes impossible.


And now he’d trapped her. She knew they were in exact alignment. She longed to push back against his tall, lean, forbidden body. She found just enough willpower to hold still and deny herself the pleasure. She clenched her teeth, steeling herself to stay strong.

She flinched as Christian nudged his chin against her shoulder in the briefest of contacts, his early-morning-stubbled face now only millimeters away from her flaming cheek.


She smelled the shampoo from his newly washed dark hair. Or maybe it was the soap from his shower, wafting up from his warm body. Certainly not aftershave. He hadn’t shaved yet. Fiona loved the toughness it lent his face, and wished so much she didn’t.

Why was he making things so difficult for her?


“Christian, it’s not the ideal holiday for me, being stuck here with you.” She spoke out toward the sparkling harbor and cloudless sky because she didn’t dare turn toward him. That way lay danger. It would be just too easy to be snared by his sexy brown eyes and then lose her resolve and seek his lips with her own. What a fiasco that would be…


“Then go,” he challenged her.


“I can’t,” she ground out with frustrated anguish. “Mom and Dad have lost their other daughter. They want to know their only grand-daughter is well looked after and as settled as possible. I promised them I’d help you for a while. I can do that much for them. I will do that much for them, and for you.”


She longed to wrench herself away. Christian was grieving, not himself. Why else would he be standing here taunting her with his closeness? Her bare toes curled against the shining floor as though tensed to run. The invading sunshine flooded over her feet and up her shorts-clad legs.


She knew she needed to stay calm, although that was a joke. His hard, tempting body stood so close to hers that all her nerves tingled and pulsed as though she was a gigantic Christmas tree full of shimmering lights.


She drew a deep breath and finally found the resolve to slide away sideways and put a couple of steps between them.


“I don’t want you here,” Christian said again. “You’ll only...remind me so much of Jan.”


She turned, raised her eyes, and plummeted into the dark depths of his. She hadn’t thought of it in those terms. She shook her head helplessly. 


“I’ll keep right out of your way. You’ll hardly see me.”


“Yeah, right.” His tone was scathing. She heard him breathe out hard through his nose. It was almost a snort.

It’s a brand-new year, full of possibilities. Did you make any resolutions/goals for 2020? If so, please share one. 


First of all, I’d like to write two more of my Merry Summerfield cozy mysteries. They’re a real change for me, and you can see more at https://krispearson.com/cozy-mysteries  I have the fun covers ready to go, and I’m well into Book 3. 


Why is your featured book a must-read in 2020? 


These are some of my older books, and they just keep selling. This really interests me – I’d expect the newer ones to take over, but no! 


They’re sexy love affairs, but each one is realistic. It’s easy to imagine yourself as the main character, and I suspect that’s the biggest reason they stay popular. My people are easy to identify with. You really could be Fiona who’s promised to help look after her little niece. Or Melanie – who has plenty of money but not the family she’s been craving. Or Jetta, who inherits her grandmother’s house after years of looking after her – and then finds she has to share it with handsome Anton.


As a bonus, you get three novels plus a novella for the price of only two. Never bad! I hope you enjoy them all.

Author Biography:

I love words, and I use them to make the world a happier place by creating people who are perfect for each other – although maybe they can’t see that to start with!


I began writing at my local radio station in New Zealand. After living in Italy and London I returned home and worked in TV, radio again, several advertising agencies, and then spent happy years as a retail ad manager. Totally hooked on fabrics, I followed this by surprising everyone and going into business with my husband as a curtain installer and working for some of the capital city’s top designers. Good for my body, and it freed up my brain to write fiction. In twenty years I haven’t fallen off my ladder once through drifting into romantic dreams, but I’ve certainly seen many beautiful homes and met wonderful people, and I may just have stolen glimpses of them for the books. (I didn’t say that, did I?)


If you love contemporary romance in exotic settings, that’s what I write. They're mostly sexy stories about couples who fall in love and into bed along the way, just like real people do.  I’m the author of around twenty novels and novellas, three of which were finalists in New Zealand’s Clendon Award. Each can be read as a stand-alone, but some make up linked series. I hope you enjoy them all.


I also write cozy mysteries, and the lead character Merry Summerfield is not so different from me – endlessly curious, with a brain that never stops, and always able to appreciate a handsome man.
