Winning Her Affection



Title: Winning Her Affection 
Author: Bailie Hantam 
Genre: Second Chance, Sports Romance



Add on Goodreads 







Anger. Bitterness. Two words that should never destroy a marriage. Especially when love is forever present, strong and passionate. Yet, Dr. Alyssa Combs did exactly that. She ended her marriage to Callum Cooper out of spite, out of hurt.
Nearly two years later and Alyssa is in the exact same place. She still desperately wants Callum back. Except now, she has the job she thought he denied her.

Callum Cooper fought desperately to save his marriage, for his wife. It was all for nothing, however. Alyssa left him anyway and blamed him for the job she lost. Now, injured and under her care and dependent on her hospitality, Callum will do anything to strengthen his resolve and force himself, his heart to get over her. He is determined that the time spent with Alyssa will make him immune to her charms… and her body.

Can they overcome their anger, their hurt and get the fresh start that they deserve?







He unlocked the front door and keyed in the security code. She stepped in and he closed the door, locking it and setting the night time alarm. They were in for the night, and they would not be disturbed.
He dragged his gaze up her body. The heels of those skin colored sandals accentuated her calves perfectly. The hem of her dress ended midway up her thigh, leaving just enough to the imagination. He didn’t need to use his imagination, he knew every glorious inch of her body. The soft fabric skimmed over her hips and dipped in slightly at the waist before framing her breasts. Her bare skin at the top almost glowed and he couldn’t wait to lay his lips on that sensitive spot between her shoulder and her neck. His gaze reached her eyes. Heat flared in them.  He lead her to sit on the couch. “Wait here.”
He walked to the guest bedroom and dug in the overnight bag Adam had packed for him. Right at the bottom he found what he was looking for. He walked back to the living room, placing the box of condoms on the table in front of her. She looked up at him, cocking her brow at him. “Is this show and tell?”
“Now’s not the time, Lys.” He barely recognized the raw-edged voice leaving his mouth. He pulled her off the couch. “We can either turn in for the night. Or you could take that dress off. Either way, we can discuss the things you’re keeping from me in the morning.”
She stepped up to him and turned, her breathing laboured. “I’m going to need you to help me unzip this dress.”











2019 Debut Author, Bailie Hantam, hails from sunny South Africa. She has been writing stories from as early as she can remember. After finally deciding to take it seriously five years ago she finally hit publish in March this year. She writes both Contemporary and Paranormal Romance and will be venturing into the world of Romantic Suspense in 2020. 
She is blessed to have a very supportive family, who have encouraged her every step of the way. She's a series binger (of both books and screen); a stationary hoarder and an avid reader. When she's not writing you can usually find her curled up next to her two border collies either reading or writing in her journal.

“Oh. And what are the duties of the perfect hostess?” The question may have seemed innocent but the twinkle in his eyes was anything but. He was wearing dark slacks and a black short sleeved button down with the top button undone. The heavy boots he wore to protect his foot only added to the appeal.
“Make sure everyone is comfortable and having a good time. Dance with the guests. That kind of thing.”
His smile faltered for a moment. “I keep forgetting I cannot tell you what to do.”
She took a step toward him. “What would you tell me?”
“No dancing with other men.” The words came out on a growl.
He had no such restrictions when they were married. “Wow. Possessive much?”
“Well with my foot still strapped, dancing with you would be difficult. I wouldn’t want other men giving you what I can’t.” He winked at her and pocketed his wallet.
“That’s a rather caveman attitude.”
“Looking the way you do, if you were mine, caveman would be an understatement.” His phone pinged and he checked it. “Our Uber is here.”
Her curiosity was piqued, who cared if the driver had to wait. She took another step toward him. “Oh really? What else?”
Callum narrowed his eyes, seeming to consider the question. Would he answer her? Then he started advancing to her. “I’d want everyone to know you’re with me. I wouldn’t have more than one or two drinks so I could be alert enough to keep you safe. I wouldn’t want you to drink too much, either. Not to curb your fun. But to make sure you know and feel everything I intend doing to you at the end of the night. If I’m honest, I’d want to mark you. And you definitely won’t be dancing with any other men.” They were so close, she had to tilt her head to look into his eyes. “But you’re not mi—”
She clasped his face with both hands and brought his lips to hers.
