A small gesture he was prone to, which always managed to irritate her.  \n‘What’s for breakfast?’ He stretched out his muscular arms, then straightened up and yawned. His armpits gave off an unpleasant odour.  \nJess pushed up her reading specs, sweeping her loose brown curls off her face, and gave him what she hoped was a relaxed smile. ‘If your fans could see you now …’  \n‘Yeah, don’t tell them. Anyway, baby, I’m all yours.’ He placed his hands either side of her head and thrust his hips and crotch towards her, mimicking a male stripper. She pulled a face and turned away.‘You pong. Go and have a shower and I’ll make something to eat.’  \n‘You love me, baby, you know you do.’ He scratched his chest and yawned again.‘I’ve missed you, Jess. I really have.’  \nShe looked into his dark, almond-shaped eyes, even more sexy with the tanned creases of crow’s feet at their edges.  \n‘Yes, and I’ve missed you,’ she murmured, closing her eyes and forming her full lips into a shape for kissing – but he was already on his way to the bathroom.  \nWith a sigh she got up and made her way to the fridge. There were plenty of eggs, a slab of cheese and some mushrooms. Ryan hadn’t touched a carbohydrate since the third person in their relationship, Cosmo Venini, had entered their lives.  \n‘Will an omelette do you?’ she called. But he couldn’t hear her over the sound of the shower.  \nTwo pairs of beady eyes popped up over the dog basket next to the dishwasher.  \nJess bent down to tickle a brace of plump tummies. ‘Daddy’s home, girls.’  \nElsie and Ethel were miniature dachshund sisters. Ryan had brought them home nine months ago, the day he had landed the title role in Venini, a TV series about the exploits of a globe-trotting classical conductor who moonlights as an MI5 agent. The show had been an overnight success and as a result the tabloids had given Ryan the dubious honour of dubbing him‘the thinking woman’s brioche’.  \nJess recalled that cold January afternoon when he’d poked his head round the living room door, the smell of frosty air clinging to him. She was huddled on the sofa in front of the TV, swaddled from head to toe in their duvet to combat the lack of heating, watching Deal or No Deal and wondering whether she should apply to be a contestant in the hope of bringing home some prize money. One look at Ryan’s face told her his audition had been successful.  \n‘Oh my God! You got the job?’ The icy temperature forgotten, she’d thrown off the duvet and leapt up from the sofa.  \n‘Yep. Call me Cosmo!’ He pushed the door wide open and stood in front of her, smiling self-deprecatingly, still wearing the huge misshapen tweed overcoat that he’d bought in the charity shop","cbCaitga0pSMxSQC","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaitga0pSMxSQC","pdf",1805141,4,342,"English","en",105,"# Part One\n## Chapter 1\n## Chapter 2\n## Chapter 3\n## Chapter 4\n## Chapter 5\n## Chapter 6\n## Chapter 7\n## Chapter 8\n## Chapter 9\n## Chapter 10\n## Chapter 11\n## Chapter 12\n## Chapter 13\n## Chapter 14\n## Chapter 15\n## Chapter 16\n## Chapter 17\n## Chapter 18\n## Chapter 19\n## Chapter 20\n# Part Two\n## Chapter 21\n## Chapter 22\n## Chapter 23\n## Chapter 24\n## Chapter 25\n## Chapter 26\n## Chapter 27\n## Chapter 28\n## Chapter 29\n## Chapter 30\n## Chapter 31\n## Chapter 32\n## Chapter 33\n## Chapter 34\n## Chapter 35\n## Chapter 36\n## Chapter 37\n## Chapter 38\n## Chapter 39\n## Chapter 40\n## Chapter 41\n## Chapter 42\n## Epilogue","[{\"question\":\"Who are the main characters in A Seaside Affair?\",\"answer\":\"The opening centers on Ryan Hearst and his girlfriend Jess Tate, with their miniature dachshund sisters Elsie and Ethel playing an important supporting role.\"},{\"question\":\"What changes Jess and Ryan’s relationship begins the story?\",\"answer\":\"Ryan wins a major acting job, and filming starts soon, creating the need for Jess to cope with long-distance separation.\"},{\"question\":\"Why do Elsie and Ethel matter to Jess during Ryan’s absence?\",\"answer\":\"Jess realizes the dogs are meant to help her stay occupied and comforted while Ryan is away for months.\"}]","A Seaside Affair -
