Excerpt
Excerpt One:
“You don’t get to disrespect me like this. You don’t get to
behave like a pompous child. I believed you were better than that,” I pause to
catch my breath and gather my thoughts. Placing my hands on my hips I continue.
“I’m not fucking anyone here for a story. Oh, if Blake were here now… But if
the thought that Jackson Reese is parading inside my panties makes your dull
lives exciting, well eat it up you sick fucks.” I pointed out, as fat, silent
tears stream down my cheeks.
Everyone looks onto me stunned. When I dropped Blake’s name,
everyone was taken aback in memory of him. Watching me cry unsettles them,
their discomfort etched across their faces. I’m not known to be emotional yet
here I am, upset, crying over the stupid words of a jealous colleague.
I feel Stryder’s arms pull me closer to him, but I won’t have
it. Shoving him aside, I try to run away, but my damn heels won’t let me. I
kick them off and run down the long corridor, desperately holding the sobs that
threaten my chest. Having my colleagues think I’m less than professional is
very upsetting to me. I have forged this career with blood, sweat and tears. I
never cut corners or slept my way to the top. The more I think about it, the
harder I cry.

Excerpt Two:
Lifting her high heels, I explain the reason for my visit. “I
stopped by to return your torture devices you so recklessly abandoned.”
Admiring the stilettos one last time, I place them in her hands.
“Thank you,” Catalina replies appreciatively. Playing along, she
puts them on, one foot at a time with such grace I swear it’s unfair. With a
raised eyebrow and a wicked gleam she says playfully, “you’re right, they’re
torture.”
The way those words slipped from her tongue and rolled against
her lips took all of my willpower away. My eyes connect with hers and like
always, the energy between us becomes palpable, seemingly electric. Catalina
regards me with lust filled eyes, the roundness of her cheeks flushed. She’s turned
on alright.
“Oh but what a sweet torture,” I admitted seductively, hoping
she caught the double entendre behind my words.
Without thinking, I move towards Catalina with the force of a
freight train. My hands grab her luscious waist and pull her flush against me.
The sound she made when I took hold of her body made me harder than I was two
minutes ago. Catalina quivers in my arms, an obvious confirmation that my
actions are welcomed. Catalina’s head nestles sweetly against my chest. I’m
sure she can hear those riotous heartbeats as much as I can feel hers pulsing
against my abs.
Allowing one of my hands to roam the expanse of her back, I tuck
my fingers underneath the hem of her t-shirt, tracing the small of her back,
and another whimper escapes her lips. Raising that palm I tilt her chin
upwards, beckoning Catalina to look at me. My voice, hoarse and fueled by
desire commands her attention.
“I’m going to do something I have wanted to do since the moment
I first laid eyes on you.”

Meet Imy Santiago
I love to read stories about loss, heartache and redemption so
it didn't shock me when I ended up writing stories of my own revolving around
those themes. I write with my heart, using my life experiences and emotions to
dictate the tone and path in which my fictional characters embark. I believe in
the power of friendship and to always have hope because life is always full of
pleasant surprises. If you were to ask me if I consider myself an author, I
would tell you no, I am not. I'm just a girl who loves to write a good story
that makes you consider life choices and the darkness that envelopes a broken
heart. My stories are about loss, friendship, hope and love.
I hope to continue
writing more books in the not so distant future. It could be said that writing
keeps me sane and brings a smile to my face. When I’m not writing Adult
Contemporary Romance novels, I’m enjoying a quiet life with my family on Long
Island New York.
