THE OTHER C-WORD

MK Schiller

Can she overcome her consuming desire for him? Can he make her comfortable with the other C-word…commitment?

Marley Mason is dreading the arrival of the new business consultant. After all, this man will most likely outsource her job to
China
. The last thing she would expect is a case of mistaken identity, leading to false accusations of kidnapping when she attempts to pick up the wrong man at the airport, or worse…that she would have such a visceral reaction to the right man.

Rick Randy is super sexy, scandalously flirty and perfect masturbation material, but a relationship is out of the question. Rick is contracted on a temporary basis to fix Marley’s ailing company, then pull out, although as he expresses to Marley, pulling out is difficult for him, in more ways than one! Marley’s feelings range from utter confusion to intense contemplation as Rick charms his way into her life. All of those C-words Marley can control, but it’s the other C-word she fears—commitment.

Dedication

To Total-E-Bound who took a chance on a first-time author based on six nervously strewn sentences. To my editor, Rebecca Douglas, who took my roughly stitched words, and created a finished tapestry. To my beta readers, Clarissa and Roberta, whose encouragement prodded me to find a home for this novel. To my daughter, Nicole, who willingly volunteered to be my first editor, critic and fan. To my son, Justin, and husband, Patrick, who endured numerous dinners of pizza, Chinese, or whatever else could be delivered on short notice while I was emerged in Marley and Rick’s world. To the ladies at the GDRWA, for the sage advice, opportunities and guidance. To fellow author Shelly Bell, who spent her valuable time helping a novice writer navigate through the confusing maze of publishing. Finally, to the reader, who is investing not just money, but also their valuable time.
