Live
in the Moment or Plan for the Future?
By
Sara Daniel
I’ve always been a planner, but as I
get older, I realize that the times I am happiest are the ones when I’m
relaxed, living directly in the moment, enjoying life with my family. The times
I am most stressed are also the ones where I haven’t planned well, and
everything is blowing up in my face, leaving me stressed and overwhelmed by the
moment. So, to live in the moment or plan for the future? I think most of us
can agree there’s probably a compromise somewhere between those two extremes,
but what happens when you put two people together who are at opposite ends of
the spectrum? In Captivating the CEO, sparks fly!
Colin Vanderhayden might only be
thirty-five, but he has retirement on his mind full time. Those financial gurus
who encourage you to save and scrimp and plan for the worse? They have nothing
on Colin. He is all work and no play, determined not to let his life crumble
around him the way he watched his grandparents’ plans for retirement dissolve
into tragedy.
Then Willow Jeffries steps into his
life. If Willow wants something, she does it now. She doesn’t defer
gratification. After all, who can guarantee you’re going to be around in the
future to enjoy all those things you put off? Certainly not Willow. She doesn’t
know how much time she has, but she’s going to make every minute count right
now, and what she wants to do most with her time is show Colin how to have to
good time and relax.
And she might just be making
progress, as long as she doesn’t slip up and allow Colin to start planning on
her as part of his future…
Captivating
the CEO

only plans for the future. She might not have a future.
When live-for-the-moment massage
therapist Willow Jeffries bursts into Colin Vanderhayden's office, she makes it
her mission to loosen up the future-focused CEO, knowing each moment of the
present is too precious to waste. Despite her immediate attraction, the only
future she can offer is one full of heartache.
The last thing Colin needs is a
flighty woman messing up his carefully-constructed plans, but her heavenly
massages and addictive personality prove hard to resist. But he has no idea how
sick she is.
No longer able to ignore her
life-threatening medical condition, Willow slips away to spare Colin a
miserable future with her. Is Colin willing to sacrifice his well-laid future
plans to get Willow back?
Excerpt:
Cupping her face with his hands and
angling his mouth, he poured the intensity she'd previously only seen him
devote to his work into turning her body into a tingling, craving mass of need.
She loved the way he cradled her-so gentle, yet firm.
Stars danced in front of her eyes,
but she willed them away to press her tongue between his lips. No matter how
light-headed she became, she refused to miss a moment of the kiss. Colin's
mouth made the opportunity to enjoy worth the risk of passing out.
But, too soon, he broke off,
panting, his eyes dilated with desire. “I have to get that.”
“Get what?” His words made no sense,
then her ears started ringing. No, not her ears. His damned phone.
“Of course you do.”
But he'd already turned his
attention to a conversation he gave far more importance to than anything she
offered.
Sinking onto the couch, she pressed
her fingers to her still tingling lips. Dear God, she hoped she didn't affect
him as strongly as he affected her. If he became emotionally invested, she'd
bring pain and misery into his life.

Finn Kneale didn’t think another lunar eclipse on February 29th would be possible, yet there it was, hanging over the ocean like a dimmed lantern, the ring in the sky his last—and only—chance to undo the oceanic spell shrouding him in misery. Sliding from his watch-point rock a few miles out from the little tourist trap where he had lived for most of his life, he delved into the depths of the Irish Sea. Water lapped, and he twisted, clapping flippers over the seafoam. Waves crashed over his mottled grey and black seal self. Excitement rushed through him and exited in a loud, brassy roar, then he unleashed another and another, each increasing in volume for the benefit of his aquatic friends. The barking, intended as an announcement, told the world Finn hoped to meet his mate tonight.
