SEVEN YEARS. ONE PERFECT OPPORTUNITY. THE ULTIMATE REVENGE
Paul has a problem. Her name is Annabel; one of Italy’s hottest export, queen of mixed signals, always in a rush, chronically late.
SHE THINKS HE’S FUNNY. TO HIM, IT’S TORTURE
Disastrous coffee dates, terrible timing, rushed goodbyes, and more emotional blue balls any man should endure, Paul hopes one day he’ll finally leave the friend zone and upgrade between her friendly zones.
Someone else however, beat him to it, leaving a present nine months in the making.
Just as Paul finally moves on and life begins to turn normal, an unexpected phone call interrupts his favourite playlist. Unexpectedly, years of unresolved tension collide in one dangerous intimate evening. What starts as a harmless catch-up, spirals into a frenzied sexually charged reckoning, brutal honesty, and the most satisfying climax.
COME FOR THE HEAT. STAY FOR THE TWIST. LEAVE WITH THE ULTIMATE PAYBACK

About the author
Ant Richards
12 books5 followersBorn at St. Mary Abbots Hospital in Kensington, London, however I spent my formative years in South America.
Following my interest and love for the creative side of life, I trained and worked as a recording engineer in leading dubbing and voiceover studios. In that area, I developed skills in all different range of sound post-production as well as occasional work as a voiceover artist.
In the mid nineties, I returned to my native London where I ended up working in the Travel Industry where, despite it no longer being the glamorous industry it was portrayed to be - I was clearly duped - I still managed to indulge in my other passion; travelling.
Still unable to become a millionaire and live the debonaire lifestyle I craved, the dormant writing talent in me began to flourish. Or so I thought.
For better or for worse, I began a new career as an accomplished author writing about my travels, reviewing destinations, accomodation and flights. I published in some well known and respected websites and online forums in addition to other obscure and dubious sites, in most cases with a varying degree of success - however, despite my best efforts, I am still unable to enjoy the freebies and perks I desperately wished for after all the trouble I'd gone through.
It was only a matter of time before I seriously considered writing my first novel. After many failed attempts, years of solitary confinement (in pubs, cafes, airport lounges, hotel rooms... and more bars) IN YOUR DREAMS came to life, and terrorised the literary world, again with a with a varying degree of success - within my neighbourhood and local pub in Lee. I will be releasing my second book DAMNED IF I NDON'T (Short thrills) around end of November 2017. After that, I will continue work on my second novel - still untitled.
I lives in South East London with my family. I supports Liverpool, therefore I am definitely a hopeless dreamer. Or a masochist.

It's always a treat to read Ant Richard's work. This short story didn't disappoint. A cheeky, fun book about relationships and friendships, unfolding through the perspective of a young man, who, at times, may appear a little single-minded in the pursuit of gratification but "redeems" himself with a devious twist.
