Synopsis
Flynn
Gifford is enjoying a simple existence in a rural Derbyshire village when
Caroline Rogers crashes into his life, barefoot and panicked.

he’s a penniless nomad who’s off the grid—yet neither can deny the attraction
that burns between them. As Caroline reluctantly starts to open up to him,
Flynn finds himself divulging some secrets of his own, secrets he thought he’d
take to his grave.
But can a
billionaire and a wild man ever make a relationship work, or will their secrets
keep them apart?

Excerpt
I’m busy
minding my own business, clearing up litter in a field on the outskirts of
Hartington when what can only be described as a crazy woman appears, seemingly
from nowhere. She’s all wild-eyed, and her blonde hair looks damp. Her outfit
is unremarkable, except for the fact she’s got nothing on her feet. Bright red
toenails seem massively out of place in this rural village. She seems out of
place. I’m not sure why I think this, but somehow, she just doesn’t appear to
belong. So what the hell is she doing here?
Normally, I
steer clear of other folk unless it’s absolutely necessary, but this woman
looks like she needs help. Serious help. If she’s crossed the road with her
feet like that, then they’re going to be scratched to buggery, maybe even cut.
Taking a
deep breath, I chuck the empty crisp packet I’ve been holding into my rubbish
bag. Then I place it next to the tree I’m standing beside and step out into the
woman’s path. I’m used to people not seeing me—or behaving like they haven’t
seen me, anyway—so I’m not surprised when she lets out a shriek that could wake
the dead and freezes in front of me.
“Hey, hey,”
I say gently, holding my hands up placatingly. “It’s okay. I’m not going to
hurt you. I just wanted to come and see if you were all right. I can’t help but
notice you’re not wearing any shoes. You’re not hurt, are you?” The concern in
my voice confuses me, but then my brain catches up. If this chick is so
desperate to get away that she’s gone without shoes, then something’s wrong.
Seriously wrong.
I look
around, half-expecting to see an angry husband chasing after her, or maybe even
a shopkeeper. She could be a thief. Glancing at her again, I realize that can’t
possibly be the case, unless she’s stolen something invisible. All she has are
the clothes on her back.
She still
hasn’t spoken, so I try again, attempting to make myself appear friendly,
welcoming. Not an easy thing when you’re over six feet tall and pretty wide,
too. Also, the fact I haven’t had a change of clothes, shave, or a haircut for
a while won’t help. I wouldn’t blame her if she ran away, to be honest. I must
look a fright, but I haven’t peered into a mirror—or even a window—for a good
few days, so I can’t be sure.
“Sweetheart,
please answer me. Are you hurt? Is there someone after you?”
She looks
around, then back at me. Shakes her head. I’m confused—if there’s no one after
her, why did she look behind her?
I crouch
down. “Are your feet okay? Cut?”
Finally, I
get a verbal reply. “N-no. I mean, yes. They’re okay. Not cut. At least … I
don’t think so.”
She lifts
each foot in turn, checking the soles. They’re fine. Now she’s answered another
of my questions, too. Her accent doesn’t sound local. More like southern
England. London, perhaps.
I suppress
an involuntary shudder. The thought of London, the big, dirty, smoky city, does
not impress me. Horrible bloody place. But at least it explains why the blonde
doesn’t appear to fit in. She’s not from around here.
