    About this ebook

    After being dumped by her boyfriend right before their Santa Cruz getaway, Melissa Foster decides to go on the vacation alone. Rest, relaxation, and most of all--no men.

    She wasn't expecting the owner of the property she's renting, wealthy entrepreneur Logan Mason, to be the hottest thing she's ever laid her eyes on. Or that he'd look at her like she was his sole reason for existence.

    Is Logan the man she's been waiting for, or will their passionate romance end in heartbreak?

    Waiting For You is part one of the Beautiful Surrender series.

    WAITING FOR YOU (BEAUTIFUL SURRENDER, PART ONE)

    Chapter 1

    Are you wearing lingerie?

    My face dropped like a ton of bricks. I’d pulled out the big guns and scoured Victoria’s Secret for something that gave me the illusion of killer boobs, despite my barely B cup breasts. I scored a matching bottom to minimize my pear-shaped hips and butt. I’d rolled on some stockings, even though I hated the things, and I topped off the ensemble with gravity defying heels. He loved my waist-length, white blonde hair when it was down so I obliged, adding strategic waves to frame my face. I was going for a soft sensuality, his good girl gone bad. And he was scowling at me like I was the most offensive thing he’d ever seen.

    He tossed his keys on the side table. Anything for me?

    He leafed through the mail. Leafed. Through. The. Mail. Like spam and bills were preferable to me in lingerie. His girlfriend, who wasn’t keeping count, but knew that it had been 2 weeks, 3 days, and 10 hours since she’d been touched in an erotic way. And from the looks of it, tonight was quickly becoming a bust.

    I cleared my throat. He drew his deep blue eyes from the stack of envelopes, his eyebrows arched expectantly. Hurt and anger stormed inside me. I had expectations. I expected the guy who claimed he loved me to want to touch me without being asked or cajoled.

    I grew up with Jason Collier, and even though everyone saw that we belonged together, Ken and Barbie, we didn’t start dating until we left for college. We happened to end up in neighboring cities, both majoring in marketing and communication. I’d been with other guys, but nothing lasted.

    Until Jason.

    I could still remember our first kiss. The first time we said I love you. The first time we discovered each other’s bodies.

    Our nights were filled with enough heat and passion to make the very sound of his voice thrust me to orgasm. He could barely keep his hands to himself, his eyes alight with need as he took me whenever and wherever he could get me. In his dorm, in my dorm, and when we graduated and moved in together, in every room and on every surface in our apartment.

    We’d been together a little over a year, and I wasn’t naïve. I knew it was the honeymoon phase where everything was new and spontaneous and a little dirty. I knew time would whittle our trysts down to a couple of times a week,
