About chasing Reese.
Loss brings Love…
Everything in life is not permanent but it was perfect. Catalina Pardo had a career in journalism most people could only dream of, a hot, sexy fiancé to call her own and a brilliant future ahead of her. When tragedy struck, the life she once knew fell apart. Four years later, traumatized by the events that ultimately changed her existence, Catalina sets herself on a punishing work schedule, preventing herself from facing the demons of her grief-stricken past. Emotionally shut down, she’s alive but not living because everyone she ever loved leaves her.
Fate intervenes in Catalina’s life in the form of a last minute assignment to a snowy mountain lodge in Whistler, B.C. Sent there to cover the life of the infamous Jackson Reese; an Olympic Snowboarding Champion, she is faced with many challenges bringing to surface the raw emotions of her past. Compelled to work alongside Stryder Martynus, an award winning photographer brought in to document the Reese press tour, tensions and denial run high forcing Catalina to accept the past and face the present with zero regrets.

chasing Reese. is a full length novel, and the first installment of the SAFELIGHT series. This is Imy Santiago’s debut novel.
Excerpt from chasing Reese.
What’s her name again? Tammy? Tracy? I don’t know and I couldn’t fucking care. Whatever possessed Blondie to wear a tiny dress with her legs exposed in single digit weather is beyond me. Nevertheless, she’s hot and just what I asked for when I called the service.
One of the pitfalls of being single is going out on my own, but thankfully, tonight that’s not the case. After giving the cabbie a generous tip, we walk carefully on the icy sidewalk and down the ramp towards the jazz club entrance. My phone chirps in my coat pocket, and wondering who it is, I unlink my arm from Blondie’s tight grasp. Looking down at my cell’s brightly lit screen, I move forward hearing my date’s stilettos clicking behind me.
I probably shouldn’t read emails while walking down a ramp. My lack of attention puts me in the path of a woman wearing an emerald dress and my moment of carelessness knocks her down. The sound of her ass hitting the icy pavement makes me wince. That had to hurt.
It all happened so quickly, and seeing her sprawled on the ground like that made me do a double take. Her overall look was pleasing, and for a guy who prefers a certain flavor in women, this one in particular gets my attention: skulls embroidered on the hem of her dress, long raven hair, ruby red lips, and tan skin with abundant curves. Fuck me when I say she takes my breath away. There she is, laughing her ass off trying to get up and here I stand, watching in awe.
Extending my arm, I help her up, and my heart skips a beat as soon as our hands meet. My spine stiffens when blood unexpectedly rushes south, stirring my cock. That’s never happened before. Maybe it’s because she’s different from what I’m used to, but then again it could be the effect of the all the rye I had before I left West Village…

Sometimes destiny and fate have a weird way of reminding us of our inescapable vulnerability, but more importantly our inexorable humanity. Life is fleeting, and what little time we have left in this world, we must make do with what we have, and cherish those whom we love by our side.
Fresh back from the Jackson Reese Press Tour, sports journalist Catalina Pardo rushes back to British Columbia after receiving unexpected and distressing news. With the help of award winning photographer Stryder Martynus, Catalina is determined to prevent the news of tragedy and heartbreak from governing her life again.
Together they will embark on a new journey of introspection to overcome the ghosts and raw emotions of their pasts−on a long and unpredictable road full of complicated circumstances−to find healing, hope and salvation.
The smallest of gifts−like a friendship bracelet−have the power to save your life, and unlike fairy tales, happy endings are seldom guaranteed…

Excerpt from finding Reese.
Her body curves like a violin, and I’m eager to pluck her alluring strings. Silk stockings cover her shapely thighs, and when she moves, the garters stretch tantalizingly slow. All I can think is, fuck me. From across the room, Catalina seems confident, but upon closer inspection I notice she’s quivering under my gaze. That tinge of innocence mixed with confidence has me close to ending this party before it even starts.
When I picked out the lingerie, I knew it was going to be perfect for her, but not once did I imagine she would look as gorgeous and as sexy as she does right now. I know a lot of guys say they prefer their ladies naked and sure, I do too but damn! Catalina looks smoking hot dressed up like this. I swallow hard, my mouth parched all of a sudden, and resume my strides like a man on a mission. Before her I extend my index finger and trace it over her heaving bosom. As I make contact with her skin, she lets out a raspy sigh, and I follow. Either my vocal chords have stopped working, or touching her fried my brain.
I’m incapable of coherent speech as I watch Catalina’s eyes following the movement of my finger. I draw an imaginary line down the center of her corset, hooking my finger over the soft material of the red garter belt, and tug on it gently. Her whispered breaths have me groaning softly as anticipation builds in the narrow space between us.
“Catalina… Baby…” I breathe her name like a litany.
“Stryder…” she whispers my name in supplication.
I hold the back of her neck with one hand, and tilt her chin up with the other, my lips claiming hers. Our kiss is urgent, filled with passion and laced with unmasked devotion. Her mouth is my temple and her body is my home, and I pray that never changes for as long as I live. I kiss her deeply, branding her mouth with my memories so she’s unable to forget me when I leave tomorrow morning. I don’t know what will happen tomorrow, but seizing this moment is my top priority.
Her hands clutch my waist as I swallow the soft moans she exhales, relishing her taste and affection. I release her neck and chin, and grip her shapely thighs, lifting her body onto mine and wrapping her legs around my waist. As I deepen our kiss, she wraps her hands around my neck in response. Apart from the crackling and hissing of the fireplace, it’s the sound of our ragged breaths that fill the air.
I prop her against the nearest wall, pushing her hair to the side with one hand while the other pins us securely against the hard surface. Catalina breaks our kiss to catch her breath, and offers me her neck to kiss and lick it. Between the scent of her skin and her unmistakable need the air is filled with a heady combination that has me bursting quite literally at the seam of my pants. I’m eager to be naked, and I hope she is too…
