MOST ELIGIBLE BACHELOR BY EMPI BARYEH Can their one-night stand turn into something more? Magazine columnist Chantelle Sah doesn’t celebrate Valentine’s Day—not since her fiancé’s betrayal three years ago. After botching her first assignment as a feature writer, she’s more than willing to put in a hard day’s work this Valentine’s Day; even if it means going on a date with gorgeous construction Tycoon, Lord McKenzie, and opening herself to an onslaught of all things love.

Hello folks! Welcome to another #LoveNotes post. Today, I'm sharing a snippet (unedited) from a Work In Progress, a billionaire romance - the sequel to Most Eligible Bachelor . Let me know what you think! Abrafi looked up and encountered a sharply dressed man. Early-twenties. Probably fresh out of university. He had a smoothness that reminded her of a sales man. “Please come with me,” he said and turned. “Who are you, and where are you taking me?” she asked. “I’m not in the habit of following strangers to unknown places.” “Oh, I’m sorry,” he said, sounding slightly irritated and not convincingly apologetic about his lapse in social etiquette. “I’m Joojo Kwarshie.  I’m taking you upstairs.” The boarding gates where upstairs, so this had to be good news. Right? “Where exactly?” “Look, all I know is your boss called mine, and now  my   boss  has  summoned you.

Happy Sunday! It's the month of love, so I decided that for the rest of the month, I'd share snippets from my debut novel,  Most Eligible Bachelor , a romance kindled on Valentine's Day. Today's snippet follows directly from  last week's snippet . His searing kiss was nothing she could have imagined. It scorched her, inside and out. A soft moan escaped her throat before she could stop it. She melted into him, curling her fingers around his nape. When he pulled away, her breath came in fast, shallow bursts. In stunned reflex, her fingers came to her lips, which felt swollen, having not been used for this purpose in a while. Weak-kneed and aroused, she sensed she only remained standing because of his strong arms around her.

Today's snippet follows directly from  last week's snippet . He smiled, really smiled, not the movie star grins he’d been flashing earlier. His gaze emitted pure heat wrapped around a hint of sadness. What in the world could make a man with his looks and popularity melancholic? Surely Lord McKenzie didn’t have the same kinds of problems as mere mortals. His fingers feathered her cheek, sending another wave of tremors through her. When his hand reached her chin, he lifted her face. Her mind barely registered what was happening before the space between them vanished. If you enjoyed this snippet, get to know my hero more.
