Here's a small excerpt from MARRIED TO MAGGIE. This scene is directly after Maggie and Tysen meet in an airport gift shop, where he was trying to hide from paparazzi. He started having chest pains and Maggie came to his aid. Unbeknownst to him, she's well-aware he's the heir to the wealthy of his identity and was actually there to track him down per an agreement with his grandfather.  

I loved this scene and wanted to share it with you.

‘Six foot-four, tousled blondish-brown hair, strikingresemblance to Jon Bon Jovi, blue eyes that will win you over in a heartbeatand behaves like the world revolves around him’. Maggie had played those wordsover in her head again and again, questioning the sanity of the agreement she’dentered into with billionaire T. Loy Vincent, I. She’d walked throughReno-Tahoe International Airport three times, trying to be subtle with herinspection of people passing by, occasionally checking the photo Loy had provided.Actually, she didn’t need a picture to recognize Tysen Loy Vincent, III, sincehe was one of the most photographed persons in the world. The infamous, playboyheir to the Vincent oil fortune graced magazine covers and front pages ofnewspapers almost daily. He was larger than life; known to woo starlets, topmodels, even a pickle heiress. Checking the photo numerous times wasn’t to jogher memory as to what he looked like, but rather a concrete reminder that she’dlost her mind.

Frustrated that Tysen had slipped by, she’d popped into thegift shop for a bottle of water. To her shock, there he was, in disguise – apoor disguise, at that – in the middle of some kind of episode that had himclutching his chest. Heart attack hadscreamed in Maggie’s mind and for good reason, she’d been his grandfather’scardiac rehab nurse for the last few months. Ty inherited his grandfather’sgood looks, possibly his faulty ticker as well. She’d rushed to help, only tobe bitten by his well-known fondness for sarcasm; something else that seemedinherited.

Did she get fired forinappropriate neck touching? Maggie had been tempted to hit the fool with arolled up magazine. Instead, she was at an airport gate, sitting next to himwith her feet crossed at the ankles, trying to stabilize her own heart. For reasons she didn’tunderstand, the darn thing was hell-bent on doing a river dance against herribs.

Ty Vincent was gorgeous and worldly. How would she persuadesomeone like him to marry her? What had Loy been thinking? What had she beenthinking? If she’d taken time to think things through, she wouldn’t be in Renoimmersed in a sideways scheme.

She feigned surprise when he identified himself and thenjabbed him with a smart remark about the hairpiece. He shrugged, ditched therug in his carryon, ran his hands through his sexy mess of hair and plied herwith that well-known, handsome smile.

Their conversation didn’t include the normal questions, likewhy she was in Reno or why he was there. He didn’t ask and she didn’t offer.And vice versa.

Something indefinable sparkled in his eyes. Maggie’s palmsstarted to sweat. Her nerve endings prickled like she was about to be struck bylightning.

Ty shifted in his seat. “I have something to ask you thatmight sound a little off-the-wall. Your first instinct will be to say no, buthear me out, okay?”

Maggie wanted to come across as cautious and baffled thatsomeone like him would ask someone like her anything. She purposely drew outher response. “Ohhh-kayyyy.”

Ty cleared his throat, twice. “I need a…wife. Just for alittle while.” He didn’t bat an eye. “Marry me.”

If a person’s mouth could drop to their belly button, thenMaggie’s was there. She widened her eyes, although she shouldn’t be the leastbit shocked. This was Tysen Vincent. He was known for peculiar behavior. She’dcome to Nevada to get him to propose, still, hearing the words come out of hismouth stunned her to the core. She tried to talk…and breathe…but her voice andlungs were rendered incapable of doing their jobs.

This was not real. None of it. Any second now,she expected a TV camera crew to pop out from their hiding places to inform herthat Loy and Ty involved her in a prank. She hoped they’d do it soon so shecould breathe again.

Thanks for popping in to read about Maggie & Ty!

Love,
