My life is very, very weird right now. She sighed and turned off the shower, stepped out and wrapped herself in a massive fluffy towel. She’d only ever seen towels like this in movies. The property rental agency hadn’t stinted on anything for its temporary renters, she’d b...
She pulled her knees in tight to her chest and tried to remember to breathe. “Em?” Kat was in her bedroom doorway. “You need anything?” Emma held out her hand and Kat came in right away. She sat down next to Emma’s bed, clutching her hand. &nb...
Everyone was wandering around with glasses of wine, staring at her photos, making comments. She knew that some people loved them, some people hated them, and most people fell somewhere in between. She took a deep breath and tried to remember that she was happy with her work, that she wouldn’t cha...
Sonia was glowing and talking a mile a minute, her hands going everywhere. Phil was nodding and looking mightily amused. Sonia spotted her. “Mommy!” “Hi, sweet pea.” Her daughter ran up the stairs to her and Vicky bent down t...
It was a glorious morning: the sun was shining and the mountains looked gorgeous. An overnight snowfall had left the whole ranch covered in a pure white blanket. But Julie had eyes for none of it. She was staring down at the cabin closest to her home, looking for any sign ...
Mrs. Felicia Kramer was a regular customer at the hotel and she was also a never-ending pain in Maria’s butt. More than once, Maria had longed for the courage to tell the woman to just shut the hell up – but fear for her job kept her mouth shut tight. The woman was the wife of an accountant that ...
He knew that Ferguson got to work around this time every morning, and he glanced at his watch. Cordelia sat next to him, drinking a coffee and reading a newspaper. She was leaning against his arm, the very picture of a content wife. He felt her heat and softness, and a part of him wanted to pull ...
She propped herself up on his chest, running her fingers over his collarbone. “Jake, what you said earlier… about just being who you are, and only being able to give me what you can.” “Yeah.” “Don’t you see – that’s what I want. I want what you have...
But as usual, making love with Julie Everett was making it damn near impossible. He had wanted to stroke that silky skin and tongue her pert nipples and suck on her clit for just a little bit longer… but Julie had other ideas. She wrapped her legs around his hips and lifted herself against him. H...
Why did all the hot girls go for this repulsive drink? He blamed ‘The Bachelor’. Damn reality television, making ditzy girls live vicariously through idiots pining for a rose. The group of supremely drunk women was looking him up and down now, and he pulled himself up to his full and impressive h...
He turned over on the sofa in the living room and stretched, wincing a bit at the cramp in his muscles. Bodies like his weren’t really meant for sleeping on sofas, but he had wanted to be between Olivia and the front door. His loaded gun was on the floor next to him, since he knew that when deali...
He just couldn’t stop thinking about Jenny’s face when she'd woken up in his arms that morning. She’d stared at him for a few seconds and then without a word, she’d jumped out of bed and locked herself in the bathroom. He’d been frozen with fear and worry and he’d knocked ...
“Well, well, well,” Mac drawled. “Look what the cat dragged in, huh?” “Hey, man,” Jax greeted him. “Where the hell have you been lately?” King strolled over to the bar, nodding at a few regulars as he crossed the room. Aidan was already pulling a be...
