Winning Appeal(42)

By:NM Silber


The paparazzo art thief was facing trial on a number of charges, and while there was a bit of scandal surrounding Gerard’s untimely passing, he had left his estate to charity, so he was largely forgiven.

“Hey man, did you have fun last night?” Mark asked Drew, who had come over.

“Oh yeah, I had a hook-up that I will never forget,” he answered with a laugh.

“And on that note…” I said giving Mark a final squeeze and moved on to go chat with the girls. As it turned out, Drew was right by the way…

About the Author



N.M. Silber is an attorney, turned full-time author, who survived the Philadelphia criminal court system, largely by having a sarcastic sense of humor. She used her experiences there as a starting place to build her humorous cast of characters and sexy story lines, and she uses her knowledge of legal practice, courtroom procedure, and how lawyers really think, in every one of her novels. She has been a USA Today Bestselling author and a #1 Bestselling author in Romantic Comedy on Amazon. She was voted an Amazon Reader’s Choice Best New Author for 2013, and has been ranked as a Top 100 author there overall. She has stated that her goal is to write books that make readers laugh, blush, swoon and genuinely feel good.



N.M. Silber’s Writing Manifesto:

1) My characters don’t cheat. 2) My characters treat people with dignity.3) My male characters do not refer to women as “whores,” “sluts,” or “bitches.” 4) My female characters are strong, intelligent and unwilling to be involved with men who act like they are A) fifteen B) emotionally disturbed C) asshats.5) My couples communicate rather than react.6) My couples have fun, healthy, hot, and sexy sex. Nobody gets hurt - physically or emotionally. 7) My goal is to make you laugh, swoon, blush and hide in the bathroom to read. My goal is NOT to make you to go through a box of tissues or throw your Kindle. 8) There will be no amnesia, secret babies, dead parents, break ups over misunderstandings, book covers with Fabio on them or use of the words “throbbing manhood.“9) Despite all of the above ^^ I will still provide PLENTY of conflict and tension and sizzling chemistry between my characters.





Allow me to introduce you…



I’m lucky enough to be friends with three very intelligent and fabulously witty authors, Daisy Prescott, Zack Love and Penny Reid. They are all extremely talented individuals who have written books that I include among my personal favorites. I’m very honored to say that they each leant me an excerpt from their books to share with you. If you like smart, funny, unforgettable stories, I highly encourage you to keep reading and check them out.

Synopsis



Sex? Absolutely.

Love? Not my thing.

I didn’t do love or butterflies, but I loved him.

I was screwed, and not in a good way.



Selah Elmore is a confident, curvy woman who knows exactly who she is and what she wants. She loves her life being a professor and popular pirate erotica author. However, when she leaves the Pacific Northwest to spend six months studying sculpture in West Africa, she learns she doesn’t know a thing about love.



Cocky, suit-wearing Gerhard charms her during a stopover in Amsterdam, but dashing, adventurous Kai sweeps her off her feet in Ghana.



Sparks fly on three continents when perpetually single Selah discovers there’s more to love and life than she ever imagined.





Chapter One




“You should meet my brother.”

I had been picked up many times in airport bars, but a brother set up was a first. Not that I expected the woman sitting next to me with her glass of Pinot Grigio to be the type to hit on strange women, but this was JFK. A crossroads of world travelers meant anything was possible. We’d been sitting silently next to each other at a sushi bar, poking away at our phones when our identical orders of spicy tuna hand-rolls were placed in front of us. She instigated a conversation and we fell into an animated discussion about the delicious merits of quality sushi.

Married? Never. Her? Divorced

Kids? No way. Her? A thirteen-year-old daughter.

From? Portland. Her? Chicago. Her accent told me she wasn’t born there. I guessed someplace like Scandinavia where they bred super models.

The typical questions of where we were headed and sharing our woes of travel followed. I liked her.

“Is your brother in Dubai?” I asked. Anita had shared her excitement over her upcoming week there. I admitted it sounded glamorous and far more luxe than my travel plans.

“No, Dubai is for business and a little fun. My brother’s in Amsterdam, where I’m from. You did say you’re going to Amsterdam, didn’t you?”
