Call Me Casanova, Book Two: An Affair to Forget

By D.C. Chagnon

Cassandra’s father is dying slowly, and she knows she only has a short time left with him. The future of his billion-dollar company rests on her marriage to Preston Stanton, the brother of the man who gave her the best night of her life, a man whose presence makes her ache for more, but she can’t give in without risking her father’s dynasty.

But Gregory Stanton’s Casanova-like charms are still as powerful as ever, and the two are torn between responsibility and carnal desire, neither one of them sure if they are in control or being manipulated.

D.C. Chagnon was born in a quiet little town in Tennessee, and this was also the place where her love for the romantic and exciting was born. The author remembers days spent running on hillsides and swimming in brooks, and endless hours spent reading books that were her escape from the mundane. It was on a fateful summer day when the teenager wrote her first romantic short story as a submission for a local paper’s contest. Signed under a pseudonym, her story that told of summer and the sun, of a friendship gone beyond its limits, and heart-aching tragedy, garnered praise and the first prize for the young story-teller. She was eighteen, and on that day, she decided that she wanted to write for the rest of her life. The author is happily enjoying the married life with her husband of five years and their two young children. She is an avid traveler and has sought every opportunity to tour places halfway across the globe. While at home, the author makes it a full-time commitment to be a mom, but also spends a lot of her time coming up with new story material. She is often heard saying how difficult it is to balance being a wholesome house mom while writing erotic fiction on the side. While she outwardly claims her inspirations to be the likes of renowned novelists Lisa Kleypas and Anne Rice, she does admit to being a fan of the more current works such as those of the Fifty Shades of Grey author and the Twilight series. On her off times, she can also be seen reading the more wholesome works by Terry Pratchett and Douglas Adams.

Chapter One: Vote Of Confidence

I thought you might like to take dinner on the veranda. Gregory led the way to the small table on the covered veranda then motioned for Abbott to take a seat. It's a warm evening.

Abbott smiled and nodded as he sat down. Thank you, Gregory. he said. It is nice to be outside.

Cassandra started to slide out her chair when Gregory stepped around and grabbed it, pulling it back and directing her to sit. Allow me, m'lady. Cassandra shot a quick look at her father who seemed pleased by Gregory's chivalry. Oh daddy, don't be fooled. He's just playing a part. She sat down nonetheless and was startled when Gregory didn't join them.

Your dinner will be ready promptly. he said.

You will be joining us? Abbott asked.

A smile curved Gregory's lips, but beneath the pleasantness he offered her father was a shimmer of cynicism as he replied, My orders are to look after but not intermingle. A strong lace of bitterness wrapped around the word orders. I am simply here to see to your wishes.

Well, then, my good man. Abbott smiled. I wish for you to join us. We both do. He looked at Cassandra. Don't we, dear?

What could she say—No, father, I'd rather he not because we had hot sex last night and his presence just makes me want a replay? Of course.

The somewhat self-satisfied look that danced through Gregory's eyes caused Cassandra's fingers to tingle with the need to slap him. He'd probably like it, she mused sourly and kept her hands to herself.

He took the chair to her left, across from her father. Are your quarters satisfactory? Gregory asked Abbott.

Yes. Excellent. The older man nodded and smiled.

If you need anything. Gregory said. You just let me know.

Abbott chuckled. I'm good, son. he said, then chuckled again. I'm an easy keeper.

Shaking her head, Cassandra looked at her father. You talk about yourself like you're a horse, daddy.

Lifting his eyebrows, Abbott winked at Gregory. Sometimes I feel like one.

Oh, daddy. Cassandra rolled her eyes, then laughed softly. The man's eyes twinkled when he gazed at her, but the
