First Page Friday - Joss Wood's Top Pick "KISS"
Here’s the blurb!
Luke Savage never failed! Ok there was the
marriage thing, he’d dropped the ball on that one, but in his defence he’d been
duped from the beginning. Now he was divorcing Satan’s sister, so everything
was back on track. That was until a beautiful, cocky twenty-something interning
in his marketing department waltzed into his office and announced his marketing
plan, for his recently inherited family vineyard, sucked!
Jess Sherwood was bright, ambitious and a
know-it-all. She was also gorgeous as sin and made Luke feel things he
shouldn’t. But that didn’t excuse her intrusion into his office and her blatant
disregard for his authority in his own company. So after kissing her senseless,
Luke fires Jess and kicks her out of his office. No way was an arrogant little
madam with all of five minutes experience going to tell him his business would
fail!
Eight years later, Luke’s family vineyard
is failing. With the insurmountable debts he’s inherited from his father to pay
off, Luke is struggling to keep St Sylve Vineyards afloat. A successful
businessman in his own right, it would be so easy to sell up and return to his
own thriving company. But how can he sell off the work of his many fore-fathers
and generations his family’s history? Luke has never failed in business before
and he isn’t about to start now. What he needs is a hip new marketing strategy…
and he knows just the woman for the job! Their only problem is how to keep
their minds on work and off that kiss!
And here’s the first page…
Eight years ago…
‘So,
in conclusion I think the marketing strategy your people presented to you is
hackneyed, stupid and asinine and plays absolutely no attention to your
demographics, to the market research and to where your competitors are placing
themselves. It’s under researched and knocked together and if you follow it I
guarantee that you will lose most of your market share in five years time, if
not your business.’
Luke
Savage looked across his messy desk at the earnest young woman perched on the
edge of her chair, her face animated with youthful zeal and healthy dose of
arrogance. What was her name again? He glanced down at her file in front of
him─ Jess Sherwood. She was twenty-two, he read and was currently doing her MBA
in marketing. The file did state that she was over blessed with brains, her
school and university achievements were─ to put it mildly─ impressive but it
failed to mention that she was solidly gorgeous as well.
A
true brown eyed blonde.
She
was quite a parcel and boy, did she know it…
Luke
kept his face impassive as she draped one long, slim leg over the other and
lightly linked her hands around a bare knee, an index finger tapping away. She
wore a short, flouncy dress falling off one shoulder and showing a thin purple
bra strap; belted at slim hips by a broad leather belt. Falling to mid-thigh,
it was too short, too casual and too sexy an outfit for work but she wore it
with careless confidence.
Luke,
who was seldom surprised at much, was taken aback by her self-importance and
her balls-to-the-wall chutzpah.
‘Wood’s tortured hero is believable and compelling and the story takes readers on a passionate, emotional rollercoaster ride.’ Sabrina Madan RT Book Reviews Top Pick for May.

Anything But Vanilla goes Sexy in Oz
Anything But Vanilla... by Liz Fielding
Sorrel Amery is determined to make her summer event the talk of the town, and she knows just the way into people's hearts - Champagne sorbet! It's the perfect strategy…until the ice cream parlour's owner runs off, leaving Sorrel's plans melting faster than a sundae in the summer sun.
When the luscious Alexander West arrives to help pick up the pieces, Sorrel's life gets shaken up more than ever before! Especially as this globe-trotting adventurer is determined that nothing in her life should ever be boring old vanilla again…
It Was Only A Kiss by Joss Wood
For driven businessman Luke Savage success is the only option. So when gorgeous marketing intern Jess Sherwood waltzes into his office and casually informs him that his newly inherited vineyard has an image problem, he's outraged! She's naïve and overly ambitious, all Luke can do to stop her talking...is to kiss her.
Eight years later the vineyard needs a boost - and Luke needs a hip new marketing strategy to save it. Jess may drive him crazy but she's the right woman for the job. Their only problem is how to keep their minds on work and off that kiss!

She's So Over Him...
Welcome, Joss!
For a newbie author such as myself, it’s such an honour to be on your blog, Liz. Thank you so much for inviting me
My name is Joss Wood and writing has always been an escape, a compulsion, something I’ve dallied with all my life. It’s essentially to my mental well being so I’m absolutely thrilled to be contracted to write books for the Mill’s and Boon’s Riva line. My debut book, She’s So Over Him, was released in September this year and my second book, Wild About the Man, will be released in January 2013
I
was a finalist in the Voice of Africa/Essentials magazine Short Story writing
competition in 2010 and was placed third in 2011. It was through this
competition that my first book was brought to the notice of the Mills and Boon
Editors.
About
Me…
I live
in a rural town in the province of Kwa-Zulu Natal, South Africa in an area
surrounded by wild game farms and stunning mountains. Totally spoilt, it’s not
unusual for me to see rhinoceros and giraffe, antelope and zebra while driving
to visit my family in a neighbouring town.
I
run on coffee and drink far too much of it! When I’m not writing or being a
hands-on Mom to two very busy kids, I work for a non-profit organization
to promote the local economic development and the collective business interests
of our town and area, where my background in business, local government and
marketing comes in handy. My hobbies include coaching my daughter’s field
hockey team, meeting my friends for a before-work cappuccino or an after-work
cup of tea and reading, reading, reading. I read everything; from romance to
romantic suspense to real life crime to sci-fi…
Travel
is hugely important to both my husband and I and I’m happiest with a rucksack
on my back and an airplane ticket in my hand and have been so fortunate to
indulge my passion for travel by visiting many countries within Southern
Africa, Europe and America.
About writing…
About
She’s So Over Him….
Cale and Maddie. Complicated.
Stubborn. So completely right for each other but so determined to keep each
other at an emotional distance while ripping each other’s clothes off…
I
absolutely adore them and loved writing every moment of this, my debut novel
for Mills and Boon Riva. She’s So Over Him is set in beautiful Cape Town and
tells the story of Maddie, a very successful event co-ordinator and Cale, a
sports psychologist and triathlon maniac.
With
a big thanks to Liz and my very best wishes!
Joss
