Seduced in
Spain

Sometimes all that two people need to make things right is a second chance…
Nine years ago, Alejandro broke Emily's heart, but a business trip to Spain forces her to be in his
company again. Old wounds are reopened and new temptations complicate things even more. When life
leaves her no choice, she realizes that sometimes the heart doesn’t listen to the brain. Will Emily win the
battle against her forbidden desire and Alejandro’s charm, or will history repeat itself?
Excerpt
“Gracias, Alejandro. Buenas noches.”
Emily kept it short and simple, although a hundred words and sentences were waiting to burst forth and
possibly ruin it all. She kept her gaze fixed on his chin because looking into his eyes would surely trigger
something she shouldn’t be saying or doing. His scent was all around her, intoxicating her alongside the
cava in her bloodstream. The corridor was silent, and she thought she could hear her heart pound hard
and fast. Could he hear it too?
“Buenas noches,” he said, his tone so clipped it was almost rude.
He turned on his heel and strode towards the lift, and she had to grip the door handle to steady
herself.
Why was she disappointed? What had she been expecting?
Just when she straightened up to walk into her room and put a lid on the Pandora’s Box that should
have been kept tightly shut, Alejandro stopped. He clenched his fists, and she thought she heard a
muttered curse. In a few long strides, he stood right in front of her again, and this time there was no
escaping his gaze.
“Feel free to slap me,” he said, and before she could make any sense of it, his lips came crashing down
on hers.
There was nothing timid or soft or tender about the kiss, as it might have been after all these years.
Instead, it was as if all the pent-up need flowed into this one touch of mouth against mouth. His lips
were firm and insistent against hers, his tongue demanding entrance, and with a half-moan, Emily gave
in and kissed him back.
His taste flooded her, nut and syrup and wine. One of his strong hands clasped her neck, the other hand
gripped her hip to draw her closer. Their tongues met, and Alejandro angled his head to deepen the kiss.
She felt it deep inside her, soothing an ache, stirring a fire, breaking the cracks wide open. She wanted
more. She knew she shouldn’t.

Almost as soon as Devika Fernando could write, she imagined stories and poems. After finishing her
education in Germany and returning to her roots in Sri Lanka, she got a chance to turn her passion into
her profession. Having lived in Germany and in Sri Lanka with her husband has made her experience the
best (and the worst) of two totally different worlds - something that influences her writing. Her
trademark is writing sweet and sensual, deeply emotional romance stories where the characters actually
fall in love instead of merely falling in lust.
What she loves most about being an author is the chance to create new worlds and send her protagonists on a journey full of ups and downs that will leave them changed. She draws inspiration from everyone and everything in life. Besides being a romance novel author, Devika is a faithful servant to all the cats and dogs she has adopted. When she's not writing, she's reading or thinking about writing.
