Book Title: The Undisciplined Bride
Author: Ginger Voight
Release date: October 1, 2013
Book Summary:
Throughout her 23 years, Peyton Prescott
was used to running the show. That went
into overdrive the minute she agreed to
become a bride. Born into an affluent
Southern family, she was expected to fulfill
her social obligation to marry well, and
found that unsuspecting groom in her
pushover fiancé, Leland Goodreau. He, like
the rest of her family, catered to her every
whim to keep her happy, and she predicted a
satisfactory, if not boring, existence as his
missus.
In fact, the only real human to stand up to
this bridezilla from hell is Mateo Bravo, one
of the chefs she considers to cater the
blessed event. Sparks fly the minute they
meet and out of sheer defiance, she hires
Mateo and his sister Naomi for every social
gathering in the remaining months until she
marries.
Mateo, unlike any other man she's ever met,
doesn't put up with Peyton’s behavior. With
amasculine energy that she finds alluring
and exciting, he turns her entitled existence
upside down by showing her she's not always
the boss. No one is more surprised than she
is when she finds out that she kind of likes it.
Peyton decides to seduce, and then dump,
the middle-class cook, just to get him out
from under her skin. Instead she finds out
that there are a few things in life even the
great Peyton Prescott can’t plan.
prolific author,
freelance writer and
optioned
screenwriter. Her
fiction is diverse,
with novels like the
edgy, coming-of-age
drama DIRTY LITTLE SECRETS, and the
fun family adventure for kids of all ages,
COMIC SQUAD.
Having grown up reading different authors
like Danielle Steel and Stephen King, Ginger
has always been drawn more to story than
to genre. This shows up in her various
stories. Titles such as MY IMMORTAL and
TASTE OF BLOOD are a delicious, heady
mix of horror, suspense, and romance.
Genre romance, however, has held a special
place in her heart, ever since she read her
first Harlequin novel when she was only
eleven. As a result, Ginger is making a
name for herself writing romances of her
own, starring women who look more like
the average American woman rather than
those traditionally represented in the size-
biased American media. Her Rubenesque
romances were created especially for those
heroines with fuller figures, who can still
get the man of their dreams if only they
believe they can. Such titles include UNDER
TEXAS SKIES, LOVE PLUS ONE, THE
GROUPIE TRILOGY, THE FIERCE
TRILOGY and PICTURE POSTCARDS.
Ginger was included in the best-selling book
by Smith Magazine NOT QUITE WHAT I
WAS PLANNING, featuring her six-word
memoir.

Teaser:
She
punched the button on the elevator to take her up to the roof where she hoped
to get a breath of fresh air.
She
stepped inside the luxurious box with the gold accents and glass wall facing
out over the Houston skyline. Just before the doors closed a hand appeared and
forced them back open.
Her
mouth fell open when she saw Mateo enter the elevator, larger than life. He was
tall and elegant in his finely tailored tuxedo, and his cologne filled her
senses as he stepped closer so the doors would close.
“What
are you doing here?” she stammered.
“Following
you,” he answered softly as he caressed the curve of her face with the back of
his hand. “We have an appointment, do we not?” She watched stupefied as he used
his other hand to press every single button on the way up the high rise hotel.
“What
are you doing?”
“Taking
the scenic route,” he replied before he curled an arm around her waist and drew
her up against his rigid body. Before she could protest, his mouth was on hers,
gently probing her lips with his tongue until she wilted against him in perfect
submission to his kiss. Her arms curled around his neck as she pressed against
him.
His
fingers wound in her hair, tugging her head back so he could explore the
delicate curve of her neck with his mouth. She couldn’t suppress a groan as her
fingers dug into his back. He was so exciting and so real and so raw… she
couldn’t get enough. Even when the doors opened on that first floor that his
fingers had accidently hit, she couldn’t tear herself away from him. Instead
she wrapped one leg around his and pulled him back against the side wall.
He
chuckled against the nape of her neck. “Aren’t you scared we’ll get caught?” he
asked.
“I
don’t get scared,” she whispered back, her mouth flushed from the power and
intensity of his kiss.
“No?”
he asked as he curled a hand around the back of her neck. He turned her toward
the glass pane that looked out over the city. She gasped as she felt him step
directly behind her. He ran his hands up her legs under her skirt until they
cupped her ass. She gasped as she rested her face against the glass, staring
down at the domed roof of the atrium below. It was though they were flying
somewhere above the rest of the world.
He
nuzzled her ear. “Tell me what you want, Peyton.”
“You,”
she breathed.
He
rocked his pelvis against her, pressing her into the glass. She could feel how
much he wanted her, too. “Right here? Right now?”
“Anytime.
Anywhere.”
“That’s
a good girl,” he said before his mouth clamped on the arch of her neck. She
shuddered beneath him. She thought the door opened again, but it was all a
haze. She realized that she could see the reflection in the glass of the lit
hallways behind them just as the doors closed.
She
reached around him to grab his tight ass in both hands, pressing him closer.
His arms slid down her body in between her legs, dragging the neatly trimmed
fingernails up her bared thighs as he gathered her skirt into his hands. She
leaned her head against his strong shoulder as she sighed when his fingers
traveled in between her legs.
The
door opened again to another empty hallway. Higher the elevator climbed as his
fingers uncovered the hard little nub that sent electricity through her each
and every nerve ending. He swirled his forefinger around this button of joy
without applying direct pressure. She squirmed against him as he tortured her.
She
could see his reflection in the glass. His eyes were dark as they focused on
her face while he fingered her. She couldn’t stop the gasps and groans if she
wanted to. She was powerless beneath his hands and he knew it.
Another
floor, another open door and empty hallway. She couldn’t even begin to care
about that. Mateo had her teetering on the verge of coming just with his hands.
If they got caught, they got caught. But she needed him to bring her over the
edge more than she needed to breathe. Both her hands slapped against the glass as
they ascended. The higher they climbed, the more crazed he made her. Finally a
finger slipped inside and she couldn’t help but cry out.
“Is
that what you want?” he murmured against her ear as he nibbled at the lobe.
“You want something inside?”
“God,
yes,” she whimpered. “I want you inside me, Mateo.”
He
chuckled. “Not till we’re on top of the world, princess.”
“I’m
already there,” she breathed as she pressed against him.
“Not
yet,” he promised. He spun her around into his strong arms and crushed his mouth
onto hers. He kissed her deeper than she had ever been kissed before, as if he
couldn’t get enough. He was groaning in his throat as the door finally opened
to the rooftop bar. With great difficulty he pulled away and led her from the
elevator.
