Reese:
Everything in life is
not permanent but it was perfect. Catalina Pardo had a career in journalism
most people could only dream of, a hot, sexy fiancé to call her own and a
brilliant future ahead of her. When tragedy struck, the life she once knew fell
apart. Four
years later,
traumatized by the events that ultimately changed her existence, Catalina sets
herself on a punishing work schedule, preventing herself from facing the demons
of her grief-stricken past. Emotionally shut down, she’s alive but not living
because everyone she ever loved leaves her.
Fate intervenes in Catalina’s life in the form of a last minute assignment to a snowy mountain lodge in Whistler, B.C. Sent there to cover the life of the infamous Jackson Reese; an Olympic Snowboarding Champion, she is faced with many challenges bringing to surface the raw emotions of her past. Compelled to work alongside Stryder Martynus, an award winning photographer brought in to document the Reese press tour, tensions and denial run high forcing Catalina to accept the past and face the present with zero regrets.

Excerpt One:
“You don’t
get to disrespect me like this. You don’t get to behave like a pompous child. I
believed you were better than that,” I pause to catch my breath and gather my
thoughts. Placing my hands on my hips I continue. “I’m not fucking anyone here
for a story. Oh, if Blake were here now… But if the thought that Jackson Reese
is parading inside my panties makes your dull lives exciting, well eat it up
you sick fucks.” I pointed out, as fat, silent tears stream down my cheeks.
Everyone
looks onto me stunned. When I dropped Blake’s name, everyone was taken aback in
memory of him. Watching me cry unsettles them, their discomfort etched across
their faces. I’m not known to be emotional yet here I am, upset, crying over
the stupid words of a jealous colleague.
I feel
Stryder’s arms pull me closer to him, but I won’t have it. Shoving him aside, I
try to run away, but my damn heels won’t let me. I kick them off and run down
the long corridor, desperately holding the sobs that threaten my chest. Having
my colleagues think I’m less than professional is very upsetting to me. I have
forged this career with blood, sweat and tears. I never cut corners or slept my
way to the top. The more I think about it, the harder I cry.

Excerpt Two:
Lifting her high heels, I explain the
reason for my visit. “I stopped by to return your torture devices you so
recklessly abandoned.” Admiring the stilettos one last time, I place them in
her hands.
“Thank you,” Catalina replies
appreciatively. Playing along, she puts them on, one foot at a time with such
grace I swear it’s unfair. With a raised eyebrow and a wicked gleam she says
playfully, “you’re right, they’re torture.”
The way those words slipped from her tongue
and rolled against her lips took all of my willpower away. My eyes connect with
hers and like always, the energy between us becomes palpable, seemingly
electric. Catalina regards me with lust filled eyes, the roundness of her
cheeks flushed. She’s turned on alright.
“Oh but what a sweet torture,” I
admitted seductively, hoping she caught the double entendre behind my words.
Without thinking, I move towards
Catalina with the force of a freight train. My hands grab her luscious waist
and pull her flush against me. The sound she made when I took hold of her body
made me harder than I was two minutes ago. Catalina quivers in my arms, an
obvious confirmation that my actions are welcomed. Catalina’s head nestles
sweetly against my chest. I’m sure she can hear those riotous heartbeats as
much as I can feel hers pulsing against my abs.
Allowing one of my hands to roam the
expanse of her back, I tuck my fingers underneath the hem of her t-shirt,
tracing the small of her back, and another whimper escapes her lips. Raising
that palm I tilt her chin upwards, beckoning Catalina to look at me. My voice,
hoarse and fueled by desire commands her attention.
“I’m going to do something I have wanted
to do since the moment I first laid eyes on you.”

About Imy Santiago:
I love to read stories about loss, heartache and redemption
so it didn't shock me when I ended up writing stories of my own revolving
around those themes. I write with my heart, using my life experiences and
emotions to dictate the tone and path in which my fictional characters embark.
I believe in the power of friendship and to always have hope because life is
always full of pleasant surprises. If you were to ask me if I consider myself
an author, I would tell you no, I am not. I'm just a girl who loves to write a
good story that makes you consider life choices and the darkness that envelopes
a broken heart. My stories are about loss, friendship, hope and love.
I
hope to continue writing more books in the not so distant future. It could be
said that writing keeps me sane and brings a smile to my face. When I’m not
writing Adult Contemporary Romance novels, I’m enjoying a quiet life with my
family on Long Island New York.
