Endless Summer – Angela Wells

She took a deep draught of orange juice in an attempt to compose her expression as the waiter departed. 4Alex . . .’ He waited for her to replace the glass on the table before reaching across and taking her hand. The truth is I want more than that. Much more. I want you to marry me.’ Shock paralysed the muscles of Alex’s throat, making it impossible for her either to swallow or speak. Alain had to be joking! But it wasn’t amusing. It was probably the most cruel thing he could have said to her when she hadn’t even begun to come to terms with the revelation of her own feelings, but then he didn’t know how she was feeling, did he?

That’s not very funny,’ she told him in a stifled voice, when she found herself able to use it once more, her fevered mind searching for and finding an explanation. ‘Playing the part of your girlfriend didn’t turn out very successfully did it? I’m sorry, but whatever pressure you try and bring on me, there’s no way I’ll agree to pretend to be your wife, however important the business deal.’ ‘Who’s talking pretence or business deals, Alex?’ His eyes mesmerised her, draining away her antagonism, as she continued to stare at him, the only stable focus in a room that was suddenly unreal.

‘I’m quite serious. Think about it. I can give you gowns by St Laurent, you may have your choice of the Caribbean for a honeymoon even a Lamborghini wouldn’t bankrupt me.’ She shook her head, doubting what her ears were telling her as he continued forcefully, ‘You’d have a good life as my wife, Alex. Apart from my apartment in Paris I own a holiday villa in Corscia and I’m in the process of buying a mansion in the Bois de Boulogne.

You know Paris and, by your own admission, love it. As Madame du Gard you will have as busy a social life as you desire. Invitations will pour in on you from all sides! Then there’s Giselle.

It was what she’d been dreading. A postmortem. Now was the time to pretend a sophistication she was far from feeling. * ‘I think it’s for the best if we both forget it—don’t you?’ ‘ she asked brightly. 1 ‘I certainly think we should start afresh, ‘ ‘ he agreed, to her relief.

* “If only because last night, I gave you the impression that I wanted to be your lover.’ Disappointment surged through her. He wanted to assure her he wouldn’t sully whatever remained of their working relationship—that he didn’t want to mix business with pleasure. 4 4Alex …” He reached across and took her hand. * “The truth is, I want more than that. I want you to marry me.” Angela Wells left the bustling world of media marketing and advertising to marry and start a family in a suburb of London.

Writing started out as a hobby, and she uses backgrounds she knows well from her many travels for her books. Her ambitions, she says, in addition to writing many more romances, are to visit Australia, pilot a light aircraft and own a word-processing machine.
