Welcome friends old and new. I’m glad you came. Today, I’m sharing from the second in my Love Projects series, TAKING COURAGE.
LAST WEEK: Janna got the spanking she deserved. THIS WEEK: I’ve skipped over a bit. We’re now in Simon’s POV. Janna’s called her first meeting and she’s hoping to earn back some of the respect she’s lost. Let’s see what Simon thinks as he enters the room.*I changed some punctuation to fit a tad more into this snippet.*
Janna had control of the room. Interesting. It would take a lot more to impress him though. He was betting if she could pretend her way into a club, she could also pretend her way into getting a job. Keller could usually tell the players from the real deal, but that only meant Simon would need to keep his eyes on her and yell fool at the first sign of trouble.
The last seat open was on the exact opposite end of the table from Janna. She watched him like a hawk; clearly she didn’t need another minute to prepare. A foreign sensation washed over him; he no longer held the reins of his team.
Do you think Simon’s going to like seeing Janna control his team? I know the answer and so can you! Pick up your own copy of TAKING COURAGE and find out everything today.
BLURB:
Janna’s ready to make over her life and get out from under the controlling thumb of her father. She doesn’t want another failed arranged marriage. She’s ready to do whatever it takes for the career she wants, enter the lifestyle she craves, and to earn the trust and love of the man that has captured her heart, but heartbreak and career hiccups seem to be her destiny.
Simon’s still recovering after his last submissive lied her way into his life. He’s not ready for Janna and how she pushes against his prejudices. He needs to decide if he’s willing to lose her or if he’ll fight for her love and submission.

Well this will be a very interesting meeting, no doubt. And both of them will have a hard time concentrating on the Powerpoint! Excellent excerpt, can’t wait to read more.
I don’t think he’s going to sit back and relax and observe her technique. 🙂 He’s going to have to get involved. I sense a showdown coming on. Tense scene. Good job!
She’s ready, he’s nervous. Bravo, Janna!
Oh, I’m guessing they’ll reach a compromise from the foreign sensation. Nicely done! 🙂
I love his realization of her strengths and his lack of control. Great snippet, SJ. 🙂
He’s on her turf now. Innnnteresting! 😀
I believe he’ll gain a new appreciation of her talents.
Love that she has taken control. Like his unease at NOT being in control. Could be an interesting meeting.
Loved this book. I especially likes that you created a submissive who went after what she wanted.
He’s not going to be happy and he’s going to get involved in her presentation. The scene that follows is not going to be pretty, is it?
The tables have turned. I’ve bluffed my way into a job before, as a banquet waitress…. that’s almost submissive. 🙂 Just follow the other guys lead.

She can have strength of her own, and still be what he wants. Hopefully he gets that, and doesn’t try to shut her down.
I love how aware he is of her. Great scene. 🙂
Janna takes control… I love it!! 🙂
