Audrey Mills is in London to organize a charity fashion event, where she meets Duncan Collins, the Earl of Thronhill. Confident in her curves, Audrey doesn't expect Duncan to want more than a holiday fling. But when things begin to heat up, will she panic and run?
VP of Development, Sabrina McKenna, has worked hard to get where she is with Gideon Hotels. When Gideon Marquez asks her to attend several important business functions, Sabrina agrees. It's only after 2 months of these functions that she realizes they've been dating. And she's fallen hard for her boss. Can Gideon convince her what he feels for her is forever? Or will Sabrina's insecurities make her flee?
Eliza Lyons isn't interested in Craig Grant's attentions beyond the platonic. He's a playboy and boy does she know better. They lunch, they gossip, he tells her things about her current dates she doesn't want to hear and she thinks he'll never outgrow his playboy ways. Then Craig lays down the gauntlet and informs her he intends to show her what a real seduction is.
EXCERPT:
Flushed, aroused, and shocked to her toes, Eliza stared.
“Really?” she asked as coolly as she could manage. It didn’t sound breathy — that had to count for something.
“I’ve admired your curves for a long time, Eliza,” Craig said, still serious, still watching her with that look that did nothing to ease the flush of arousal pounding through her. “I’ve admired so much about you.”
Eliza swallowed. Was it her imagination or did his voice fall an octave? Deep and dark and dripping in sex.
“And you can’t say we don’t have chemistry,” Craig continued. Closer.
When had he moved closer? She’d been paying attention; Eliza knew she had. Her entire and sole attention focused on him. Stunned she wondered what new game he was up to. But her thoughts fell over each other and she struggled to find coherency in this conversation.
“Volatile chemistry,” Eliza agreed. Was that her voice? That half-breathy half-laugh that did absolutely nothing to solidify her position as not interested?
“That’s the best kind,” he said with a smile that made her insides jump. “Come on, Eliza. Give this a try.”
Joking. He had to be joking. Craig could be a prankster, she knew this. She had even occasionally helped him plan a couple jokes on mutual friends. So this had to be it. A prank, a joke. Admittedly a poor one, or a poor attempt at one.
Eliza smiled. Yes, that was it. And she refused to fall for that. Smiling up at him, as come-hither and sultry as she could make her smile, she stepped closer, adding a little sway to her hips, one hand on her ample curves.
“You know, Craig,” she said softly, seductively, “if I didn’t know better, if,” she reiterated, “I would.”
She watched his already dark eyes darken further, that heat and hunger and need reaching for her. The finger that had, seemingly of its own will, trailed up his button-down now poked him hard in the chest.
That look in his eyes didn’t fade as she expected.
