From the bestselling author of Welcome to Forever (“Full of heart and emotion!”—Lori Wilde) comes a sweet, sexy novel about breaking all the rules. In Seaside, North Carolina, the boys on the base are heroes—but that doesn’t mean they’re always well-behaved.
As a preacher’s daughter, Valerie Hunt only
dates the very respectable, very boring men who meet her father’s strict
standards. In private, however, she leads a double life as a romance writer of
steamy stories about the least respectable sorts of men. Valerie has always
kept her hottest fantasies separate from her real life, but when she nearly
runs a hot-blooded biker off the road, the lines begin to blur.
Even though Valerie almost killed him,
Griffin Black can’t be angry after he learns the reason for her distracted
driving: an unruly puppy belonging to her ailing friend. As a member of the
military police K-9 unit, Griffin insists on training the dog himself. But he
soon wonders how he’s ever going to stay disciplined around the most alluring,
down-to-earth, and totally unattainable woman he’s ever met. Valerie is the
ultimate good girl. And Griffin is going to need all his old tricks to unleash
her wild side.
Excerpt:
She wrapped
the dry towel around her body and collected her clothes to go seek out
Griffin’s dryer. When she opened the bathroom door, he was standing in front of
her. His eyes traveled south. Really, a towel covered as much as any of her
strapless dresses. Strapless dresses involved hooks and zippers, though. All
Griffin had to do if he wanted to see her naked was pull the end of the towel
tucked beneath her arm.
She took a
breath, really wanting him to pull. What was the point of
a summer fling if she couldn’t live out her wildest fantasies? In fact, if she
were writing one of her books right now, her heroine would probably tire of
waiting to see what the gorgeous bad boy was going to do and drop the towel
herself.
Val slowly
lifted her arm and dropped the towel to her feet. No going back now, which was
completely fine with her.
“What are you
doing?” Griffin asked. There was a deep edge to his voice.
“Drying
off.” Her heart thudded inside her chest. Her hands were shaking. This wasn’t
like her. She didn’t seduce men. She should pick her towel up off the floor
right now and pretend like that was an accident.
Instead, she
stood frozen.
Griffin reached for her in the dark hallway,
tracing a finger from her neck down to her breast.
Then he
anchored a hand on her waist and pulled her toward him, kissing her again,
harder this time. Deeper. A little gasp caught in her throat as his other hand
reached between her legs and started to caress her, finding a rhythm that had
her clutching his still wet body to keep from falling on the ground.
She reached
for the hem of his shirt and started to lift his wet clothes off him.
Unbuttoning his jeans, she pressed them down, working until he was as naked as
she was.
“Are you
sure this is what you want? We’re breaking all the rules in those romance
novels you like to read,” he said, his voice gravelly.
She
swallowed, burning for him. Needing to feel his hands on her. His mouth. His
tongue. “I want this. I want you.”
A small
smile lifted his mouth. He took her hand and started leading her down the
hallway, passing Trooper as they went.
“Sorry,
buddy. You have to stay behind,” Griffin called, pulling her into his bedroom
and shutting the door. “If it starts to thunder we’ll have to stop,” he said
between kisses.
“A woman
should never come between a man and his dog,” Val agreed.
“You
know me so well.” He kissed her again and then he pulled her toward his bed.
