About this ebook
This is a sweet romance short story (word count 6,883)
Jessica meets an extremely handsome stranger while sitting and minding her own business on the train.
But the stranger seems determined to strike up a conversation and gain Jessica’s attention. On their journey together, he tells her that his name is Paul and that he finds her beautiful, all before asking her out on a date.
Now, some women would have been flattered by such a compliment, but not Jessica! She has sworn off any interest in men and is less than impressed by a pass being made at her, and rudely tells Paul her thoughts on the matter before they part ways.
The next day, the scene between Paul and herself plays in her mind and Jessica wonders if she had been too harsh with her words to him, but she puts her feelings of guilt aside taking comfort in the fact that she will never see the stranger again.
Unfortunately, she finds out the hard way that fate sometimes throws people together, and to her surprise and horror she meets Paul again at the hotel where she works. This time around, she becomes aware that the stranger is no other than Mr Paul Truman who is a billionaire. What’s even more surprising is that fact that Paul seems even more determined than ever to prove that he is just the man for her!

As long as I can remember I have always loved everything and anything to do with the romance genre. Enjoying writing, reading and watching a wide range of love stories. I am a true romantic at heart! So after studying for a philosophy degree and then going on to work in a corporate job in advertising, I decided to reconnect with my passion again! I now write mainly romance short stories, with the aim to share all of my ideas with others who also have an interest in romantic fiction. I write in a range of romance subgenres including erotic romance, contemporary, sweet, paranormal/fantasy fiction and historical. I hope to continue writing as long as my ideas keep flowing out from my mind. In early 2014 I experienced my own personal love story, when I married my one true love. I now live together with my husband in London.

Chapter 1
Jessica found herself distracted as she put her book down on her lap. She was then startled to be faced with one of the most attractive men she had ever set eyes upon. He had a pair of striking green eyes that were looking straight at her, a long prominent nose and a square-lined, chiselled jaw to complete his rugged look.
She had to mentally stop herself from staring and going all shy and weird in front of him, as he cast a big smile in her direction.
‘Sorry, did you say something?’ she asked the handsome stranger.
‘I was just commenting on the weather. It’s a lovely day, isn’t it?’ he replied in a deep, rich voice.
‘Yes, I guess it is.’ Jessica started to pick up her book once more, hoping he would get the hint that she was in no mood for conversation, even with him being such gorgeous stranger.
‘Good book?’ He sounded interested.
‘Yes, it’s a good read, thanks!’ Jessica resisted the urge to be openly rude to him.
‘You’re not very chatty, are you?’
‘Excuse me!’ She looked at him with surprise, taken aback by his questioning. She wished now that she was not the only one sitting with him in the train carriage. ‘Actually, I can be very conversational when I want to be, but, strangely enough, I don’t find myself in a chatty mood when I am on the train talking to a complete stranger, not to mention that I would like to relax quietly, and grab a moment by myself, especially after having a difficult weekend!’ Jessica could now not help but be rude.
‘My name is Paul. What’s yours?’ He said cheerfully, as he reached out his hand to her.
Jessica’s mouth fell open with amazement. Could this man not take the hint?! ‘I don’t think you understand . . . .’
‘Yes, I think I do. You said that you don’t like talking
