    I am a British author. I moved to France around ten years ago, and that's when I turned my hobby into a career. I'm fortunate to be represented by New York agent Richard Curtis. I share my home with two crazy dogs that like nothing better than to drag their masterful leader (that's me) around the village. I hope you enjoy reading my books, especially the Justice series, Cruel Justice, Impeding Justice,Final Justice,Foul Justice and the newest addition, Guaranteed Justice. Ultimate Justice is due out in Feb 2013. If you'd like to keep up to date with new releases you can find me on facebook by following this link http://www.facebook.com/pages/Mel-Comley/264745836884860 If you fancy a lighter read, why not try one of my romances: A Time to Heal, and A Time for Change--Based on a TRUE story. I also have a selection of short stories and novelettes available which I know you'll enjoy. You can find out more about me at the following blogs. http://melcomley.blogspot.com http://melcomleyromances.blogspot.com

      Lost Temptation - M. A. Comley

      CHAPTER ONE

      Christine, who was known as Chrissy to her family and friends, had always had a reputation as a man-eater. All that changed when she met her current boyfriend, Kyle. She’d fallen head over heels for him and his bad-boy ways. Well, he had come with a bad-boy image, but Chrissy had only seen his loving side. Maybe she had succeeded where other women had failed and had finally tamed him. Recently, she’d become keen to alter her whole outlook on life and so much more, to keep him satisfied forever.

      Looking sideways in the mirror, she ran a hand over her protruding stomach. If only I could shift a few pounds. She grimaced and glanced at her sister’s reflection in the glass. What? Don’t shake your head at me like that, she told Nicole.

      There’s nothing wrong with you. You’re worrying about nothing.

      Am I? Am I really, Sis? I want Kyle to love and cherish me. How can he do that when I’m nothing but a frump?

      Nicole strode towards Chrissy and spun her around. Pointing, she said angrily, Don’t do this, Chrissy. There is nothing wrong with you. You were this size when Kyle first asked you out. Why are you set on changing things now? You’ve never been concerned by what men thought about your weight in the past, not that you’re that much overweight anyway. Why now? What’s really going on here, Chrissy?

      Chrissy twisted out of her sister’s grasp. Nicole, not Chrissy, had always been the type to doubt herself in the past. I don’t know. I just think… She slumped onto the couch and rested her chin on her chest.

      Nicole sat down beside her and took hold of Chrissy’s hand. Tell me what’s happened?

      Avoiding eye contact, she mumbled, Nothing has happened, per se. I’ve just got this sinking feeling that Kyle is going off me a little.

      Nicole dropped her hand. You’re kidding me? He idolises you. Christ, if ever two people belonged together, it was you two. I can’t believe you would ever think such a thing, hon.

      Her tears teetering on the edge of spilling over, Chrissy ran a shaking hand over her face then looked at her sister. You don’t know him like I do. Placing a hand over her heart, she continued, I can feel it here, Nicole. Something has changed between us in the past week or so, and I just can’t put my finger on it.

      Her sister shook her head. Nonsense. Any idiot can see he worships you.

      Please stop telling me I’m wrong about this. I’m not, and I intend to do something about it.

      Such as? Do you want me to have a quiet word with Josh?

      Don’t you dare! No, I’ll sort things out my own way. In the meantime, I want to increase my visits to the gym. Do you want to join me?

      I know we both have a membership to the Apollo Club, but I’m not sure I can devote much time to visiting their gym facilities. I’m working extra hours as it is with all the brides getting married at the moment. You know what the month of June is like.

      Chrissy pouted and pulled her I’d-do-it-for-you look.

      All right, quit with the evil look already. I suppose I can manage one evening down at the gym. I’m sure if I ask Josh nicely, he’ll take Sammy Jo to the cinema for the evening.

      Chrissy hugged her and kissed her cheek. Thank you so much. You know how much I hate going to that place alone.

      On one proviso?

      Chrissy raised a questioning eyebrow. What’s that?

      You enrol with one of the instructors. They can do wonders, so I’ve been told. Apparently, you tell them what areas of your body you’re not happy with, and they work out a specific routine targeting those areas.

      That makes sense. I wouldn’t need to rely on you accompanying me then, would I?

      True. Once your induction has finished, maybe either Belinda or Melody will accompany you to the gym regularly, if they’re not so busy. You could run it past them, anyway. Those two could do with a hand in the romance department too. I think Melody has been grieving long enough now, don’t you?

      Chrissy felt ashamed of her stupid self-pity all of a sudden, considering what her sister Melody had dealt with after the car accident that killed her fiancé the year before. Chrissy clapped her hands together. You’re right. I need to kick my butt into shape, in more ways than one. I’d love Melody to join me. We should spend more time together, and yes, she should be putting what happened to Terry behind her now. She’s only twenty-four, for Christ’s sake, not fifty-four. She should be out there enjoying herself, living life to the full. Terry would be gutted to think her life had ended when his did.

      Go easy on her, Chrissy. You can’t force her to get on with her life.

      I know. I’d be sensitive and treat her with kid gloves to start with. Anyway, what’s going on with you and Josh? Talking of brides—well, we were earlier—when are you two guys doing the deed?

      Nicole waved her hand. There’s no rush. We’re still discussing it, all three of us. She laughed. I wonder how many kids can say they helped arrange their own parents’ wedding.

      Chrissy sniggered. I’ve never thought of it that way. You guys are so lucky to have found each other after all those years apart.

      Get on, you old softie. Enough about me, let’s get you and Kyle back on track ASAP, yes?

      She mock saluted her sister. Yes, boss. He’s coming over in a little while. Let me ring the gym now, see when they can fit me in.

      Chrissy made the arrangements to have a one-on-one session with one of the instructors the following Monday at seven p.m. Then Nicole left Chrissy’s tiny flat just as Kyle walked in.

      Chrissy sashayed up to him and wrapped her arms around his neck, worried what his reaction was going to be. Did you have a good day, sweetie?

      Kyle offered a half-smile tainted with stress. Not really. What about you? He kissed her quickly on the lips and unhooked her arms from his neck. Without waiting to hear her response, he headed into the kitchen and called back, Any beers in the fridge?

      Chrissy stood there, dumbfounded, unable to speak as she watched him turn his back and walk away from her. Yep, there is something wrong here, all right. But what?
