Natalea Jones has had a rough life. An
absentee father. A gambling addicted mother, who seems to show up only when she
needs something—preferably money. Natalea survives her childhood and teenage
years because of her best friend, Drake Harte, and his family. Even though
she’s been in love with Drake for years, she refuses to let her lust come in
the way of their friendship. Life without Drake is not possible and sex would
certainly complicate things.
Drake Harte is not only known as the most
eligible bachelor and firefighter in Gamble Park, Florida, but he’s also known
for sexing the ladies and leaving them. Only he knows the reason he can’t make
a commitment to the women throwing themselves at him—he’s in love with his best
friend. It’s time he either goes for it or moves on.
After Natalea and Drake share a night of
passion, an unexpected event occurs that proves to both of them that life—and
love—are too precious.
Excerpt:
Or
what? Was his firecracker of a
best friend challenging him? He may have gotten off his twenty-four-hour shift
at the firehouse mere minutes ago, but he was always ready to rumble with
Natalea. Her honey-colored eyes gleamed with the familiar twinkle she had every
single time they provoked each other. She loved it as much as he did.
Damn!
He
loved everything about her. She was a whole lot wrapped up in a five-foot-three
package. She was beautiful—beautiful in a way that wasn’t cover model,
but real. Sweet. Caring. Honest. Strong. Stronger than anyone he knew. Her life
hadn’t been easy.
He
exhaled a laugh before dropping the towel and placing his hands on the bar top.
Having spent as much time as he had in The Misbehaved, he knew exactly how much
space he had to clear before he’d be on the ground on the other side. He pushed
off with his feet on the stool rungs and slammed it to the ground with a bang
as he propelled himself over. He landed with a thud on the black rubber floor
mat. Heads swiveled in their direction.
Natalea
yelped and dropped the towel. She spun on her heels and dashed to get away from
him. He swung his arm around her waist and jerked her flush against him. The
feel of her softness against the rigid planes of his body made a groan bubble
up in his chest. He bit it off.
He
hoisted her over his shoulder and wandered out onto the floor. Her lush breasts
pressed against him and made his cock twitch to life in his jeans. Her legs
flailed in the air, her black work boots thudding against his abdomen. She may
have been small, but she was mighty. He’d give her that. As the thought entered
his mind, her teeth sank into his lower back muscles through his T-shirt.
“Ow,”
he cried, surprised by her bite. “Watch it, baby girl. You know better than to
walk this tough-girl path with me. It never ends well for you.”
She
grunted and groaned at his words. Several of the male patrons hooted and
hollered.
“Nice
legs,” one of the guys standing by the pool table shouted. A few whistles
followed and Drake realized what the fuss was about. Her already scant jean
shorts had ridden up her legs, exposing all of her thighs, maybe more. Despite
the crowd being predominantly female, the few males made themselves quite
vocal.
A
wave of possessiveness flowed over him. He didn’t like that the guys were
gawking at her ass poised in the air, and at her tan, muscular legs draped over
his shoulder. Legs he’d fantasized about encircling his hips as he buried
himself inside her. That fantasy had recurred on numerous occasions over the
last decade.
Yes,
he pined after his best friend. Had for years. Whenever she was around, he
popped a perpetual boner. He also needed to protect her, which pretty much
ruined any chance she had for a relationship with anyone else. No one—and he
meant no one—was good enough for her.
