Excerpt
This scene takes place after the
events in French Kissed…
I woke
late, the Paris sun shining through my bedroom window. I reached across the
bed and found cool silk rather than Max’s warm body. I leaned over, glancing
at the alarm clock, wincing slightly at the time. In my defense, he’d wanted
to ring in Christmas last night in his own unique fashion, and I’d been more
than happy to do my part. I figured I’d earned a lazy morning in bed…I just
wished I had someone to keep me company.
I
threw on the cashmere robe at the foot of my bed, tying it tightly around my
waist, and went off in search of my man. I reached the hallway and ran into
Maggie.
She
grinned. “Merry Christmas.”
“Merry
Christmas,” I repeated, figuring I was going to have to start learning the
American way of things.
Her
eyes twinkled with mischief. “I guess I don’t need to ask if you had a good
night last night.”
I
could actually feel my cheeks flaming. It wasn’t lost on me that I could
be…loud.
I
groaned. “Tell me you guys didn’t hear me having sex.”
“We
didn’t hear you having sex.” She grinned. “But if we did, then I just have to say, well-done,
Max.”
I
fought to keep the smile off my face. She didn’t know the half of it. We’d
been apart for weeks and he’d taken our reunion very seriously.
“Although,
Samir might have mentioned something about wanting to pour bleach in his
ears.”
I
made a face at that. I didn’t blame
him. If the roles had been reversed, I would have died if I’d heard my cousin
having sex.
“Where
is Samir?” I asked, trying to change the subject.
“I
don’t know. I, uh, slept in, too.”
I
stifled a snort. I had a feeling I wasn’t the only one ringing in Christmas
between the sheets.
We
walked down the long, marble hallway, headed toward the formal rooms. We
froze at the sound in the entryway, voices reaching us.
Max
and Samir stood in front of the giant Christmas tree Maggie had convinced us
to put up, their arms full of wrapped presents with giant bows. Some of the
presents were beautiful—elegant paper that definitely looked professionally
packaged, with easily recognizable paper in familiar store colors. Other
presents had wrinkled edges, pockets of wrapping bunched at the sides, images
of snowmen and candy canes on the paper.
The
sight of presents Max had so obviously wrapped brought a lump to my throat.
I
couldn’t remember the last time I’d had a family Christmas. Usually my
parents just deposited some money in my account and called it my Christmas
gift. But Max had clearly gone out—gone shopping—and
then tried to wrap them himself.
I
loved him. So much.
“Did
you remember to put the tags from Santa on some of the gifts?” Max asked.
Samir
made a noise and muttered something in Arabic under his breath.
Maggie
grinned.
“No.”
Max
glared at him. “You need to do some gifts from Santa. It’s tradition.”
Samir
looked like he was about to lose his patience. I had no clue how long they’d
been up arranging gifts under the tree, just that it definitely hadn’t looked
like this when we went to bed last night.
More
Arabic from Samir.
My
cousin had mellowed a lot since he and Maggie had gotten together, but he was
a whole other beast from Max, but he didn’t do Christmas with his family, and
the image of him celebrating a holiday he clearly knew nothing about was
hilarious. He looked frustrated, and yet, by the impressive display of gifts
that looked like they were for Maggie, I figured he’d tried his best.
“How
about the hot cocoa?” Max asked, his tone sounding equally frustrated. “Is it
ready?”
I
snickered. Samir really looked like
he was ready to lose it. We’d both grown up with chefs. I’d bet my favorite
Birkin bag that he’d never made cocoa in his life.
I
figured we had thirty seconds before they noticed us standing there watching
them because Maggie looked about ready to burst out laughing.
“It’s
ready,” Samir grumbled. “And the cookies for Santa are on a tray.”
And
just like that, Maggie’s eyes went from laughter to complete and total
adoration.
Yep.
There was nothing he wouldn’t do to make her happy. Even if it meant giving
her a traditional American Christmas when she was spending her holiday away
from her family, with her half French, half Lebanese boyfriend who had never
celebrated Christmas like this in his life, her best friend—and I’d totally
own that up until Christmas Eve last night when Max had surprised me and
given me the best present ever, I’d never been a big fan of the holidays—and
her boyfriend’s best friend who seemed determined to single-handedly bring
Christmas cheer to us all.
And
then the boys turned, and their gazes landed on us, and I watched as the two
most important guys in my life gifted us with smiles that brought a lump to
my throat.
Yep.
I felt like the luckiest girl in the world.
We
went into their arms, Samir’s gaze on Maggie, Max’s arms around me, and
everything else fell away.
We
spent the morning laughing, drinking cocoa and eating cookies, opening gift
after gift, and when it was all said and done, and we all collapsed on the
sofas, surrounded by crumpled wrapping paper and discarded bows, my gaze
connected with Maggie’s across the room, and we both smiled and I knew—
Love was the greatest gift of all.
On the surface,
Fleur Marceaux has it all. If only the facade matched reality. With one year
left at the International School in London, Fleur’s struggling to graduate,
her love life is a mess, and she can’t stop thinking about Max, her
ex-boyfriend’s best friend. But all that pales compared to the blackmailer
determined to destroy her.
There’s a social
hierarchy at the International School and Max Tucker is outside the velvet
ropes. After watching Fleur break his friend’s heart, Max knows to stay away
from trouble, despite the crush he’s had on her since freshman year. But when
they’re partnered on a project, Max learns there’s more to Fleur than meets
the eye, and she just might be worth the wild ride.
The more time
they spend together, the further Max falls. And when a kiss awakens a passion
Fleur never imagined, she’s unable to resist Max, who she had thought was all
wrong for her but might be the only thing that’s right. But will he stand by
her when her secrets are revealed?
Don’t miss the
final book in the International School series. This New Adult romance is
recommended for readers 17 and up.

See London by Chanel Cleeton
February 3, 2014
Harlequin HQN (Digital First)
New Adult Contemporary Romance
BOOK SUMMARY
Maggie
Carpenter is ready for a change— and to leave her ordinary life in South
Carolina behind. But when she accepts a scholarship to the International
School in London, a university attended by the privileged offspring of
diplomats and world leaders, Maggie might get more than she bargained for.
When
Maggie meets Hugh, a twentysomething British guy, she finds herself living
the life she always wanted. Suddenly she’s riding around the city in a
Ferrari, wearing borrowed designer clothes and going to the hottest clubs.
The only problem? Another guy, the one she can’t seem to keep her hands off
of.
Half
French, half Lebanese, and ridiculously wealthy, Samir Khouri has made it
clear he doesn’t do relationships. He’s the opposite of everything Maggie
thought she wanted…and he’s everything she can’t resist. Torn between her
dream guy and the boy haunting her dreams, Maggie has to fight for her own
happy ending. In a city like London, you never know where you stand, and
everything can change in the blink of an eye.
This is a
New Adult romance recommended for readers 17 and up.
I
SEE LONDON - Excerpt 1
My hands remained on his chest, my
fingers curled into the fabric of his black sweater. Curled into his warmth.
Up close, I couldn’t resist the opportunity to study Samir. His eyes were a
dark coffee color, framed by ridiculously thick, long lashes. Dark curls of
hair brushed against his collar. His skin was tan, certainly far tanner than
my own pale skin. He was beautiful. Absolutely beautiful.
“Scared?” he teased.
Yes.
I was tired of being ruled by my
fear and nerves. I closed the gap between our lips, lingering just a breath
away from kissing him. My hand traveled north, releasing my grip on his
sweater, moving up his neck. My fingertips brushed against his bare skin, the
feeling silky smooth. My hand continued its upward path, growing bolder now,
threading through Samir’s hair, loving the feel of his silky curls beneath my
fingers.
He stiffened.
Our gazes met. I held the force of
his stare, shocked to see desire flaring in his eyes. It was all the
encouragement I needed. My lips brushed against his— hesitant, exploring,
hungry. Once, twice. Samir sighed, his mouth opening slightly. His breath
tingled with mine, his tongue grazing my lips. He wasn’t quite kissing me
back but he wasn’t moving away either. Clearly he was going to make me work
for it.
“Kiss me.” He whispered the words
against my mouth, taunting me with them, goading me further, pushing me over
the edge.
“Shut up. This would be so much
better if you didn’t talk.”
He chuckled, his lips vibrating
against mine.
I opened my mouth, deepening the
kiss, my tongue reaching out and grazing his. Suddenly everything exploded.
The taste of him swirled in my mouth, the feel of his body against mine, sent
sparks through my body. He kissed me back. He kissed me like he was drowning
and I was his lifeline— mad, desperate kisses that had my body tightening in
anticipation and my mind blown.
Author Information
Originally a Florida girl, at
seventeen Chanel moved to London to attend an international university. In the four years that followed, she
received her bachelor’s and master’s degrees, learned how to dance, travelled
through Europe, and made lifelong friendships. Chanel fell in love with London and planned
to stay there forever. But fate
intervened on a Caribbean cruise, when an American fighter pilot with smooth
dance moves, swept her off her feet.
Now, a happily ever after later,
Chanel is living her next adventure in South Korea. An avid reader and hopeless romantic, she
is happiest curled up with a book. She
has a weakness for handbags, puppy cuddles, and her fighter pilot
husband. Chanel writes New Adult
contemporary romances and Young Adult thrillers. Her New Adult debut, I
SEE LONDON, will be released by Harlequin (HQN) on February 3, 2014, followed
by a sequel, LONDON FALLING, later in the year.
I love, love, love this cover. From the beginning I wanted an iconic London image. I wanted something romantic, sexy, and adventurous that really captured the heart of the book. We played around with a couple ideas, wanting to convey both the sexy NA feel and the unique setting. It was a tough cover- my hero is half Lebanese, so finding stock images was a challenge. Harlequin was amazing to work with and I was so lucky to have tons of input. I actually created my own cover and sent it over to them and they did a beautiful job of taking my idea and improving on it tenfold! There's this line in I SEE LONDON about London nights being full of adventure and possibilities. That will always be London for me and I think this cover represents that spirit perfectly. What do you think?
