A CHANCE ENCOUNTER BECAME SOMETHING MORE
A HANDSOME MAN, A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN, AND AN ISLAND IN THE CARIBBEAN

When Elize took a break from her busy work schedule and her equally pressure-filled personal life to go to a remote island resort in the Caribbean where she hoped she would never meet anyone she knew, she did not expect for the experience to be one of the best she has ever had in a long time.

She met Joey”, and she has suddenly become “Anna”. He brought her to the pad he rents from his friend “Jude”. He’s finishing a painting, she posed for him nude. The experience led to great sex, and then they went their separate ways.

Back in the States, Joey and Anna met each other again in a party in the Governor’s Mansion while with each other’s fiancée and fiancé. In fact, Joey is his friend Jude, a billionaire; and Anna is Elize, a smart attorney who works on her father’s law firm.

Will they have another encounter as they had in the island? Or is Joey and Anna’s adventure over?

EXCERPT
“Do you have to paint any nude models?” Elize asked.

“Actually, yes, I do,” Joey said. “Although I haven't done it yet because so few women are willing to get naked in front of the easel. It's almost like they think it's a camera or something. It's not like people will be able to recognize you from what I've painted. I wish I were that good,” he said wistfully. “Well, really it isn't because I'm not that good, it's just because the faces of the figures I paint are often small because I usually over-emphasize the backdrop.”

Elize thought about it for a moment as the breeze played with her hair. Should he take off her top? It was taboo, that much was certain. There wasn't anyone around though.

Another thought sprung into her head. What if it led to more? There was a chance that taking her top off would lead to more than just a painting... like touching and kissing and even more than that.

For a second, the idea of getting friendly with the strange man behind the easel scared her. But then the next moment, it made warmness spread deep in her womb that she hadn't felt in a very long time with her fiancé.

Before she could consider the consequences any further, she arched her back so her hands could undo the knot holding her bikini top together, and slowly let the top slide to the ground.

“Wow,” Joey said, his mouth hung open behind the canvas on the easel. “You are so beautiful in the nude.”

“Well, thanks,” Elize said.

“Not to say that you weren't beautiful before you were nude,” Joey said. “I mean, of course you were. But, you know, when someone amazing looking when take their top off, it's kind of like an eclipse. Everything stops and everyone just stares.”

Chapter One

THE BEACH STRETCHED out in front of Elize, a ribbon of white between the baby blue surf and tropical greens of palm trees and jungle flora. Elize walked along the strip of well-trodden sand down the middle of the beach. It ran from a cove around the bend behind her to the resort a few hundred feet in front of her. The waves that lapped the beach were soft, never having the white cap that remained like a sailor cap on waves that beat against the breakers off the shore in the distance. The resort had a large dock, some called it wharf, extending from its front down to the where the water met the earth.

The resort, Hotel Caribbean, was a little known tourist destination in the Caribbean. It wasn't as plush as the other, high end places to book rooms at, and that was exactly the point. Before booking her vacation, Elize had read an article in Forbes magazine about how the hot spots visited by the vacationing business elite were becoming scuzzy with thinly veiled prostitution rackets and drug rings. Although many businessmen visited them exactly for this reason, it left Elize and her peers seeking other destinations off the beaten path.

The article went on to talk about how some of the regular old four or five star resorts were the next hidden gem to be discovered in the world of travel and leisure, and so she booked her trip accordingly.

When she got here Elize didn't really know what to expect. She hoped the accommodations would be on par with high end resorts, but she also realized that she was conceding a few things to get a little bit of class and privacy in return.

At first it was a strange experience, the less bourgeoisie tourists that surrounded her were much different than the usual beach goers she was used to.

No more running into other lawyers on the beach, that much was certain.

Elize was a high profile corporate attorney for the law firm owned by her father and piloted by her socialite mother - and she was a damn good one at that. When she had first started, she'd had to shake the stigma of being daddy's little pet, though. Now she was recognized at one of the leading talents in the law industry.

Elize had a knack for getting big corporate accounts to sign with her, where the stuffier of
