Blurb

 

Injured Parole Officer Jeremiah “Jim” Borden never expected Calista Barlow, the sassy blonde waitress he’s craved for months, to ring his doorbell. She slips into his heart—and his bed—but he’s obsessed with a gangland investigation that threatens his career and maybe even his life.

Calista doesn’t trust easily, not with a daughter to protect and the stalker who keeps calling her. After her violent ex-boyfriend returns, she finds solace in Jim’s arms.

 

Jim may have to forego his need for answers to protect the ready-made family he adores, but how will he and Calista escape an unseen enemy that is always one step ahead of them?

 

 

 

Excerpt

 

Calista entered her bedroom and her mouth dropped open. Oh my God.

Her date reclined on her bed as though he starred in a photo shoot. Candlelight flickered across him. The sultry gleam in his eyes arrested her, holding her captive. His sexy smile weakened her knees. None of her past lovers rocked a pair of classic black slacks and a crisp white dress shirt like he did. His chest hair, a few shades darker than the locks on his head, poked from the parted fabric and teased her.

How would that thick hair feel against her nipples? Soft? Coarse? Just right?

Jim was spread out for her pleasure like a Christmas present. She wanted to unwrap him, layer by layer. Maybe he should unwrap himself, so she could enjoy the show.

Her gaze traveled the length of his body to the bulge pressed against his zipper. Yum! He’s hard already. She licked her suddenly dry lips.

“Stare all you want, but it’s more fun to touch.” He patted his thigh, the invitation clear.

“I’m tempted.” She cocked her hip to one side. “I guess the blueberry clafoutis can wait, but you’re a little presumptuous to think this is how the night would end.”

Then again, she did mention having breakfast together. What did she expect him to think?

“End? Honey, we’re just getting started.”

She laughed, grasped the hem of her blouse, and pulled it over her head. Her favorite perfume scented the room, and she picked up the bottle. “You like?”

“Hell, yeah. A lot.”

She sprayed a few drops on her fingers, caressed the pulse at the base of her throat, and dragged her touch down between her breasts. His guttural growl teased across her nerve endings, shooting rockets through her belly. She shimmied her skirt down her hips and kicked aside her heels. A red satin bra and panty set sheathed her body. She locked her hands together behind her back before involuntarily covering her breasts and stomach.

“Damn, look at you. Come here, Calista.”

She climbed onto the mattress and knelt over him, one knee between his legs.

His shirt spread farther apart as he sank deeper into the pillows. More dark hair covered his taut muscles. His shirtsleeve hid the cast.

Yes! Finally! She buried her fingertips in those kinky curls and traced the hard, hot expanse of his chest. Her belly twisted into a bundle of lust.

His pecs twitched. He moaned and grasped her hip, his face flushing red. His spine arched as she lightly pinched one of his nipples. A long hiss escaped through his teeth.

“Lay back and let me handle everything.” She straddled his waist and trailed her fingers around his belly button. His eyes darkened, the pupils expanding, and heated her from the inside out. She laved her tongue over his nipples, kissing one yellowish bruise after another.

“Undress me.”

She bit his nipple in reprimand. “Don’t rush me.”

“Jesus, woman. You’re driving me insane.” Jim rubbed the bulge in his slacks along her satin-covered clit.

“Ahh…”
