Nicola Francis's Book
Fate's Dance
Sophia, a reserved and sweet young woman who has always avoided alcohol, finds herself celebrating her 24th birthday at a trendy club. Her best friend, Charlette, convinces her to let loose and have a few drinks. Meanwhile, Damion, a wealthy entrepreneur, and his loyal bodyguard, Chris, are also at the same club, celebrating a successful business deal. The club happens to be Damion's own establishment. As the night unfolds, Sophia and Damion both end up getting drunk. Their paths cross in an unexpected way: they hook up. The next morning, Sophia wakes up in Damion's bed, shocked and devastated. She hastily dresses and checks the sheets for any signs of a disastrous outcome. Fortunately, there's no blood, but she can feel that they had sex. Just as Sophia is about to slip out the door, Damion wakes up, his memory wiped clean from the previous night. He greets her with a puzzled “Hey, who are you?” Sophia flees, leaving Damion convinced she's a gold digger who targeted him. From that day on, he harbors a strong dislike for her. However, fate has other plans. As the story unfolds, Sophia and Damion find themselves thrown together again, this time under less-than-ideal circumstances. Despite his initial animosity, Damion begins to realize that he's more than a little fond of Sophia. But can he overcome his past assumptions and give their connection a chance?
