Love may be the international language, but sex is more fun to learn... Sure, Gina Ferraro grew up in sheltered convent schools in her native Tuscany, but that doesn't mean she doesn't know a thing or two about men. After all, she's seen Sex and the City! So when she arrives in New York to visit ...
Is she for real? One look at the mannequin in the Manhattan department-store window and ambitious executive Eric Harmon knows no woman could be that perfect. But the leggy blonde is actually ex-model Dallas Shea. And she's very much alive. When he spies her at a stuffy corporate dinner, he's amaz...
It was going to take some serious mental gear-shifting for her real name to sink in. If he hadn’t thought about her over the years, it might’ve been different. But that night on the beach had turned into more than a simple one-time hookup. Should’ve been nothing more, he knew. He’d had his share ...
God help her, why were there so many people? Most of the pews were filled. Up front was the dark cherry casket Matt had chosen. She’d gone with him to be supportive and agreed on the style while barely sparing a glance. Vases of flowers had been set on either side and in front of a podium. ...
Now she had a real excuse for her hands to shake. She was still a little rattled from their earlier encounter—she’d never been so unprofessional in her life. All she wanted to do was sit and stare at him, watch his hazel eyes change to that golden color as his passion grew, study the way his lowe...
Annie said, shaking her head. “Of course you’re Tucker Brennan.” “And you’re Annie Sheridan.” She nodded, made an abortive move to shake his hand, but her gloves were still on and her body had decided to alert her to a whole symphony of hurts and bu...
Four-fifteen. The old buzzard was probably taking a break at Mario’s coffee and doughnut shop. Dalton hoped so. It would be easier for Frank to talk about anything he might have found outside of the office. As the phone rang, Dalton’s thoughts went back to Cassie and the therapy session. Some coo...
She seemed to be giving the question serious thought, which he appreciated. “Yes,” she said finally. “I would’ve gone to see you ride.” He wished she’d been more plain. Watching him ride wasn’t the same as letting him know she was in the audience, or making an attempt to g...
ALANA PROMPTED when the cabbie pulled his atrocious ancient noisy sedan to the curb and just sat there, gazing out the windshield in apparent admiration of the cheap Halloween decorations that heralded Main Street. “What? Oh, yeah, sure thing.” Harvey popped the trunk, the...
He didn’t know why he hadn’t taken his normal route through the house and out the kitchen. It felt odd following the flagstone path. Generally he forgot the flower beds and whimsical-shaped shrubs were there.Anne had designed the garden and wanted the impractical French doors so they’d match the ...
With her neckline and sleeves pulled down, her arms trapped against her body, so much of herself bared, she would have panicked facing any other man. But not Jake. Never Jake. He was strong yet gentle, tough yet kind, handsome and smart, too. He was like no other man she’d ever known. “I want to ...
Sadly, she’d already finished the coffee from the to-go mug Rachel had fixed her. Although she would’ve loved more caffeine, the never-ending potholes and misty dimness around her were enough to keep her hands firmly gripping the wheel and her eyes wide and alert. Only whe...
The two middle-aged men had opinions about every damn thing in the whole universe. They certainly were entitled to express themselves. Sophie didn’t have to listen. Now, the tobacco chewing? That was getting to her. She was mentally rehearsing what she could politely say t...
It wasn’t a hardship since she’d been awake for a while. Embarrassed over last night’s misstep, she hadn’t slept well. God. She’d actually kissed Trent. More proof that she was insane. Not at all herself. While technically he’d kissed her, she sure ...
LEXY DID an abrupt about-face. Lightheaded from lack of food, she flattened her hand against the wall. What on earth had she been thinking? People tended not to shower with their clothes on. Of course he was naked. “You’re not gonna faint, are you?” ...
Eric thought about how Tom’s wife, Serena, would have reacted to the whole Chun’s experience. Or Ryan’s wife or Grant’s wife. All nice, attractive ladies, but they would have been totally freaked out to have been herded back into the kitchen and then led out to that putrid-smelling alley. Hell, h...
At first he’d thought she’d been teasing him about being afraid of the thunder. But when he saw that she was trying hard, but unsuccessfully, to calm herself, he slid his arms around her. She started to fight him but he refused to release her. He pulled her trembling body ...
