Shy homebody Sophie Edwards has had enough of being taken advantage of. It's time she grew a backbone, starting with venturing on a singles holiday, one where she's free to come out of her shell. Rugby player and rare gentleman Marcus Coetzee thinks it's time he lived a little. Marcus knows he's not being straight with Sophie, but as they spend more time together the sparks between them ignite into a firestorm of erotic sensations. Succumbing to the temptation of what they've kindled, they revel in the attraction between them. However, as the end of Sophie's holiday draws near, do they continue the deception and douse the blaze, or do they come clean and let the flames become eternal?
Toria Lyons is originally from mid Wales but now lives in south-west London. Until a few years ago, she was a civil servant but health problems forced her to give up desk-based work. That's where writing came in - she was always a keen rugby supporter and felt there was many a tale to tell based on a local rugby club. When not at the rugby or dreaming up another plot, she's a keen road cyclist and can be found pedalling around the Surrey Hills. She'll often go for a ride and pop in to see a match on her way home, if she has enough layers to keep her warm! Her other loves include red wine, curry and good dark chocolate.
