Grand Slam
"Loved every funny, over the top crazy piece of action..."
Erica Jewell can’t worry about hunky hired gun, Jack Jones, and his commitment-phobic ways. She’s flat out managing Dega Oil’s sponsorship of the Australian Open tennis, and doing a pretty good job. That is until a devastating explosion sends Dega’s reputation and share price plummeting.
Public outrage over the incident upsets Emilio Mendez – the tournament’s biggest drawcard – and he wants to cut ties with Dega. When Erica is sent to calm him, Emilio becomes convinced he can’t win without her. He demands she stay close and the media misinterprets their relationship, much to Jack’s irritation. Meanwhile, danger lurks, threatening Emilio and Erica, and she must race against time to discover: who’s trying to kill them and why? From the elite inner sanctum of the Australian Open to the packed halls of Chadstone Shopping Centre, can Australia’s favourite accidental heroine save Emilio, her job, and so-called relationship with Jack Jones? |
Grand Slam Excerpt
I watched Emilio warm up with his opponent, American John Connor. I wished I could see it all in super-slo-mo, especially when Emilio served and his shirt rode up, exposing his tanned, muscled belly. Not that I couldn’t see that gorgeous tum any time I wanted, but it was titillating to watch him like this, knowing I could have him if I wanted. I leaned forward, elbows on knees and chin on my palms. I patted my face, discreetly, because slapping it would have looked strange.
