I have the lovely Lorraine Nelson back on my blog today with her latest release, Bad Boy Blake. Now, I don't know about you, but I do love myself a bad boy, so this is going on my must read list!
****
Blake Bennett is the town bad boy turned Sheriff,
elected to keep the peace. When Blake first meets Gina, she's butting heads
with the Mayor…over the type of dancing she teaches—pole dancing.
Gina West is a professional dancer, who
retired from the stage, and moves to Westonville ,
NB
Excerpt
She stood to
follow him to the door, but found herself hauled up against his muscular chest
as he treated her to another scorching kiss.
“Woman, you’re
driving me crazy.”
Pushing away from
him she asked, “Me? What did I do?”
“Now that I know
what’s hidden under that robe, my hands are itching to peel it off you again.”
“What’s stopping
you?” she said as she swiftly untied the sash, shrugged the robe off her
shoulders and let it drop to the floor.
Just as fast was
his reaction as he picked her straight up in the air and set her down on the
counter. He chuckled in response to her shriek as the smooth, icy marble met
her bare backside and she arched backward, supporting her weight on her hands.
Quick to take advantage, he swooped in to devour her breasts with his hands and
mouth.
Her legs wrapped
around him of their own volition, urging him closer, closer…and then his cell
phone rang.
He ceased
ministering to her body and allowed his head to rest in the valley of her newly
sensitized orbs. She ran her fingers through his hair, a touch on the long side
for a man in his profession, her actions serving to hold him against her.
“I have to go,”
he mumbled against her skin.
“I know.”
“We’ll finish
this later,” he said, promise inherent in his words.
“Okay.”
He lifted his
head and covered her mouth with his, their tongues mating, creating their own
magic as they thrust and parried, suckled and withdrew. His hands cupped her
buttocks as he lifted her and set her on her feet.
“This is the
first time in my years as Sheriff that I allowed anything or anybody to come
between me and my job. What kind of spell have you cast over me?” he teased.
“Not a strong
enough one, apparently.” Then seeing his confusion, she added, “You’re only
human, Blake. The job isn’t the sum total of who you are as a man.”
“Maybe not, but
I’ve measured myself by it for a long time.”
“Then maybe you
were due for a change.” She smoothed his hair back into place with her hands.
“You could be
right. We’ll discuss this later. Right now, I have to see how Rob is and if
forensics found anything downstairs, then I’ll have them come up here.” His
eyes traveled the length of her body as he spoke. “Better get some clothes on
or I won’t be the only one who knows your secret.”
“What secret?”
“That you are
indeed a true redhead.”
