Flirting with the Forbidden. Joss Wood

       ‘Noah,’ James said, placing a hand on Morgan’s stiff back and urging her towards him. ‘I don’t know if you remember my sister Morgan?’

       Since the memory of her naked is forever printed on my retina, I should think so.

      Noah’s mouth twitched, and when Morgan glared at him he thought that she’d worked out what he was thinking.

      ‘Of course. Nice to see you again, Morgan,’ he said, in his smoothest, blandest voice.

       Wish you were naked, by the way.

      ‘Noah,’ Morgan said, and her eyes flicked over him, narrowed.

      Noah just held her defiant stare. He’d perfected his implacable, don’t-mess-with-me stare in the forces, and it had had more than a couple of recruits and higher-ranking officers buckling under. When Morgan started to flush he knew he had won their silent battle of wills. This time …

       Dear Reader

      So many children, bright and bold, are failed by the current schooling system because they don’t fit into the ‘academic’ box society wants to shove them into. Over the years I’ve watched the struggles of a few dyslexic friends and the pain mothers of dyslexic children experience because school is a minefield for them. Because I believe that there are many different types of intelligence, and that one isn’t better than another, I wanted to explore the effects dyslexia can have on an adult—especially one who comes from a wealthy, important and prominent family. Morgan, my bright, brave and bold heroine, is a result of those musings.

      And Noah … Oh, I’m so in love with Noah. He’s pulled himself out of a shocking family situation and is hard and tough, but he acts with integrity and honour. He’s a sexy, reticent ex-SAS Scot who thinks he doesn’t need anyone or anything. He probably doesn’t … except Morgan. And he doesn’t much like it.

      Morgan and Noah are equally strong and equally vulnerable, and I so enjoyed getting to know them. I hope you will too!

      With my best wishes

      JOSS WOOD wrote her first book at the age of eight and has never really stopped. Her passion for putting letters on a blank screen is matched only by her love of books and travelling—especially to the wild places of Southern Africa—and possibly by her hatred of ironing and making school lunches.

      Fuelled by coffee, when she’s not writing or being a hands-on mum Joss, with her background in business and marketing, works for a non-profit organisation to promote the local economic development and collective business interests of the area where she resides. Happily and chaotically surrounded by books, family and friends, she lives in Kwa-Zulu Natal, South Africa, with her husband, children and their many pets.

      PROLOGUE

      Eight years earlier...

      Noah Fraser looked at the crown moulded ceilings above his head and tried not to think about the action in his pants—hmmm, at least he wasn’t wearing a kilt. Truthfully, he could understand what was happening in his pants far more easily than he understood the mess in his head. Lust was easy, and there was a straightforward and time-honoured process for getting shot of it. But since the obvious was out of the question—it required a great deal more privacy than he currently had—he knew he had to distract himself.

      He’d spent a lot of the past five years feeling horny—thanks to
