Getting in the party mood for a weekend away with his SEAL teammates is no easy deal for “Zeus” Calderon. He’s hung up on a woman he saved from terrorists months ago, but he should be able to forget a gutsy blonde reporter who showed resilience and humor under fire. Shouldn’t he?Kim Stansfield go...
Monday, while she was in the middle of unpacking a shipment of medieval-style satin and silk corsets from Milan, Jed strode into her back room. “Hi there.” She beamed at him, overjoyed he had come to visit. “I didn’t think I’d see you until Friday.” He walked right over to her, removed his black ...
He reached for her hand at one point and she squeezed it good-naturedly, then withdrew. He’d thought showing her how he loved her would have made her break down and declare how she cared for him. But she wouldn’t go that far, no matter how often or how well he brought her ...
Diners filled all the other seats. “This place is popular,” she said as Giles led her to the rough-hewn table covered in butcher paper and pulled out her chair to seat her. “Yes. Famous and infamous.” “Why’s that?” “The No Fork is the only part left of what was the biggest cattle ranch in Bravado...
Closing the door to her bedroom suite, he muttered bright curses and took the stairs down at a jog. What was wrong with him? Craving the gorgeous blonde Lady Ranford was not part of his mission. Saving her was. And this fixation, this enchantment sh...
Who knew she had it in her? Crime writer. Bookworm. Former ER nurse. Turned fugitive. She grinned. Even—she thought as she stretched her dangling toes to reach for the ground—if it meant she’d be in hot water with her captor. I’m going swimming, Ranger Martinez, before you’re up and learn I’m gon...
A short ride of ten minutes, the journey seemed to take ten years. But snuggled against Jack’s chest, Emma listened to his heartbeat and the pace resounded with her own yearning. To make love to him, to be loved by him for just one night seemed so impossible days ago that she had feared to make t...
The burgers rare. The conversation fun. Lex hadn’t had such a good time with a woman out of bed in ages. Years. And this one has the added attraction of enjoying your domination. “How’d you decide to take this job?” he asked her as they cleaned up the kitchen after their late lunch. She’d put her...
he asked. “Mayhew’s recent sales.” “Will that give you enough info to slap him in jail?” “We’ll see when I plug it in.” She took another drink and fingered the little black drive. “But before that—“ “What?” ...
He pulled out of his driveway and they zoomed down the road. “You are gonna charm the pants off Sam Trunbridge.” She grimaced. “Oh dear, I hope not. One man with his pants off today is more than enough for me.” “I’m making certain this man with his pants off is all you’ll ever need.” He grasped h...
Dressed already in gray slacks and white dress shirt, he held a breakfast tray in his hands and insisted she join him for cappuccino and croissants on the bedroom balcony. “The air is brisk this morning, bella. Wear my robe outside,” he said curtly, and strode toward the double doors. Tying the s...
Soft footsteps fell on the carpet of the back stairs. To your post, man. Here comes the artillery. “Good morning,” Tony’s father greeted him, patting his back. “Thanks for getting that started.” Tony smirked at the man who was already showered, dressed, ready. Up every morning of his life at five...
But Zeus wasn’t pounding away at the Atlantic looking for speed or glory. Relief from frustration was his goal and, damn it, jumping into this god-awful warm bath water at midnight was not working! He was supposed to be enjoying the stand-by time and his birthday tomorrow here with his buddies in...
Because her mother had died when she was twelve, she’d learned about intimacy only from others who painted no consistent picture. Her older sister Collette had told her fascinating stories in coarse but alluring language of how mating between a man and woman occurred. With her family, Fancy had t...
