About this ebook
What’s a woman to do when her far too sexy ex offers to scratch that itch? Go with it, of course, even if it does mean doing the dirty in a cupboard at her best friend’s wedding.
DeAnne has never gotten over her separation from Quinn, so when she’s confronted with him at this wedding, feelings bubble to the surface for them both. It seems time can’t cool their attraction, but the questions that drove them apart still remain unanswered.
But this time DeAnne is going to fight for the man she loves, and woe betide anyone who gets in her way.
Together, Quinn and DeAnne will overcome all odds ... won’t they?
Raven McAllan
After 30 plus years in Scotland, Raven now lives near the east Yorkshire coast, with her long-suffering husband, who is used to rescuing the dinner, when she gets immersed in her writing, keeping her coffee pot warm and making sure the wine is chilled. With a new home to decorate and a garden to plan, she’s never short of things to do, but writing is always at the top of her list. Her other hobbies include walking along the coast and spotting the wildlife, reading, researching, cros stitch and trying not to drop stitches as she endeavours to knit. Being left-handed, and knitting right-handed, that’s not always easy.

DEANNE’S DILEMMA
Naughty Forties, 2

Chapter One
How on earth could I feel sexy, wearing an all in one, holdy-in, pants-girdle-underwear torture thingy? It was designed to cut off circulation worn under the bridesmaid’s dress from hell, with my sodding still handsome as hades, movie star, ex-husband smirking next to me, and I swear that man has x-ray eyes.
Yes, that is a hold your breath, spit it out, nonsensical sentence, but it needs to be to let me vent.
Not only that, as if it wasn’t enough to contend with, the world's press was in helicopters, circling above us like a swarm of angry bees. The bride was in tears of joy, the groom, an equally handsome but TV star not movies, ditto. Everyone but me was drowning in happy-clappy, wedding heaven.
I swear if I could have ducked out, developed a rash, fever, even invented some hitherto undiscovered illness, I would.
Except the bride, my best friend and a doctor to boot, would tell me not to be a hypochondriac, and remind me we'd sworn as kids to be each other's maid or matron of honor, come what may. Even, she’d said darkly, if one of us was in labor. Not that I was, but wouldn’t that have been fun? I could just imagine it. Pant, pant, don’t push, say it … I do … argh.
Anyway, I digress. I plead guilty to that. It’s sort of in my nature. And after all, if I’d been doing it for over forty years, I wasn’t likely to change now.
Eighteen months, three weeks and four days earlier—yes, I do know how long exactly, even to the hours, six—I’d married. Sandy, today’s bride, had flown back from somewhere exotic to be my only bridesmaid for my first—and as far as I’m concerned only time around—wedding.
Once bitten and all that.
Hot-as-hades ex and I had married on a beach in Antigua, in a white under slip for me, sadly with black bra and thong showing, because that was all I had clean—it was a bit impromptu to say the least—and denim cutoffs for him. There was a good reason for my unusual attire, honestly. I hadn’t intended to get married in my underwear. Sandy bought us a dress each to wear, or rather her mum had, as Sandy had been goodness knows where for weeks prior to my big day. Probably up the Nile or something. The problem was, her mum’s taste, and idea of our sizes, was a bit off. Absolutely gorgeous they weren’t. I looked like a parcel in mine, badly wrapped. Plus, it was white, and with my over generous curves, and skin tone, which matched the dress, white and frilly wasn’t the best choice.
Sandy looked like the bride, not me, albeit her dress was purple, her mum’s favorite color. We stared at each other and burst out laughing.
"Right, mate,
