New Adult Contemporary Romance
“I See
London
is fun, sexy, and kept me completely absorbed.” – Katie McGarry, author of Crash Into You
BOOK
SUMMARY:
Maggie Carpenter is ready for a change—
and to leave her ordinary life in South Carolina behind. But when she accepts a
scholarship to the International School in London, a university attended by the
privileged offspring of diplomats and world leaders, Maggie might get more than
she bargained for.
When Maggie meets Hugh, a
twentysomething British guy, she finds herself living the life she always
wanted. Suddenly she’s riding around the city in a Ferrari, wearing borrowed
designer clothes and going to the hottest clubs. The only problem? Another guy,
the one she can’t seem to keep her hands off of.
Half French, half Lebanese, and
ridiculously wealthy, Samir Khouri has made it clear he doesn’t do
relationships. He’s the opposite of everything Maggie thought she wanted…and
he’s everything she can’t resist. Torn between her dream guy and the boy
haunting her dreams, Maggie has to fight for her own happy ending. In a city
like London, you never know where you stand, and everything can change in the blink
of an eye.
This
is a New Adult romance recommended for readers 17 and up.

Excerpt:
Fleur strolled into the party, a group of guys in tow. Samir walked
next to her, the perfect counterpart to her beauty. She made her way through
the crowd like Moses parting the proverbial Red Sea, all eyes on her. Well,
except for mine.
Tonight he wore dark jeans, an expensive-looking black jacket and a
gray collared shirt. I hadn’t thought it possible for him to look even better than the day on the steps.
I was wrong.
He exchanged handshakes with a few guys before heading over to the table
next to Michael’s. He moved confidently, as if he owned the room. Suddenly
Samir’s head turned, his gaze meeting mine. My heart began to pound.
His stare pierced me.
Was he imagining me naked right now?
I reddened instantly.
Samir’s eyes widened, his lips twitching. The look he gave me was
long and languid, surprise flickering in his deep brown eyes. Surprise,
followed by clear male appreciation. With each second that passed it felt as
though he was stripping away my clothes, layer by layer, baring my body before
him. I felt the full weight of his stare, each glance leaving a trail of heat
in its wake. It was as if his hands were running over my skin—molding, shaping
my curves, caressing my skin.
No one had ever looked at me like that before.
Fleur tugged on Samir’s arm. He ignored her. She tugged again—saying
something to him now—and he turned his attention away from me.
“They’ll probably go out later if you want to come.”
I forced my gaze back to Mya. She shot me a curious look.
“That whole group is pretty big on the club scene,” she explained.
“They’re going to this club called Babel tonight. It’s in Mayfair and it’s
amazing.”
I struggled to calm the nerves exploding inside me. “Mayfair?”
“It’s one of the nicest neighborhoods in London.” She grinned. “In
that dress you’ll fit right in.”
