Blurb:
Cynthia’s dreams are so real, they
are actually coming true – complete with the prerequisite dream guy. But things
are not as they seem.
Who said dreams are sweet?
Chicago businesswoman Cynthia
Courtland is completely focused on her career when a sensual, reoccurring dream
disrupts her orderly life. Then a threat against her workplace forces her to
take time off. She is lost with nowhere to go--only her empty apartment.
Work is Gabe’s life too; he takes it
very seriously and will do whatever it takes to succeed. He's been watching
over Cynthia for a long time and he has her best interests at heart, but can he
protect her from the danger she is blind to? When Cynthia insists on
investigating the threat so she can get back to work, it makes Gabe's job all
the more difficult.
When things settle, will there be
more for them than a life filled with work? Will she give her dreams a chance
to come true?
Excerpt:
The air in her lungs rushed to
escape and time stood still. She was aware of only him. Beyond her control, her
head tilted and her whole body leaned toward him; her inner core pulsed and
buzzed. He drew her in like a magnet, a moth to flame; she was helpless to
resist his siren call. He emulated danger, looked like evil incarnate—black and
dangerous, seductive and forbidden—and she wanted him.
When he grabbed her harshly by both
shoulders, she snapped out of her lust-induced trance. “What do you think
you’re doing?” she demanded.
“We must get out of here.” His words
were calm, but his eyes stared right through her.
Cynthia opened her mouth to object.
“There is no time,” he announced as
he tugged on her arm.
“Let go of me!” She tried to pull
away. “I don’t know you.”
Holding her arm still, he stared
into her eyes without saying a word.
Okay, he seems a little familiar.
She gulped. “How do I know you?”
Giving her a penetrating look, he
replied, “You know me. Quit wasting time.”
She opened her mouth to protest
again.
“We must leave now.”
Should I go with him? She tilted her
head and looked up at him. His gaze was strong and steady and made her feel
safe. This is not the time to be indecisive. She thought about the threat at
work and shivered despite the heat.
You will be safe with me. There is
no time. We must leave now. His voice entered her thoughts like a caress in her
mind and didn’t alarm her.
He was right. There was no time to
analyze her options and run through various scenarios. For all she knew, every
scenario without him could mean danger for her. Her body wanted to follow him,
she admitted with reluctance, even if her mind resisted. Yes, she would go, she
decided, even as she felt herself following him down the street.
Power resonated from his muscular
build. He kept a hand in a firm but gentle hold on her elbow as they hurried
down the sidewalk. Unmindful of their destination, Cynthia had ample time to
study her new “friend.” He towered over her by at least a foot, wearing a black
leather jacket despite the warm day, and dark jeans that showcased his narrow
waist. Every beefy inch of him screamed passion and strength—his tight clothing
doing nothing to disguise the sinewy muscles rippling in his legs as he
moved—but she wasn’t frightened of him. She hesitated for a minute. Should I be
afraid? No, she decided. She felt eerily calm, like all her life had been
leading her up to this moment in time, and she was exactly where she was
supposed to be. The reason she let a perfect stranger lead her to
God-knew-where.
She shifted her thick hair over her
shoulder as sweat soaked at the base of her neck. The day’s temperature had yet
to peak, but it was already warm enough to be uncomfortable and practically
running in office attire didn’t help matters.
“I need a moment,” she said.
They made an abrupt stop. The man
offered her an unopened bottle of water. After casting an assessing look at him
she accepted the bottle, and took a long, welcome drink.
“Thank you.”
The man dismissed her thanks with a
casual shrug.
Cynthia shot him a questioning look.
“Later,” he replied in a brisk
voice. “We need to go.”
“Where?”
“We need to go,” he repeated,
ignoring her question.
They had covered several blocks and,
as they moved further from her office, the sights became less familiar and a
tremor of fear shook through her body. Where did this guy come from? Why does
he think I know him? Because I do know him. The realization hit her hard in the
stomach. It’s him.
“I need—”
“We need to keep going,” he insisted
without further explanation.
“No!” She planted her hands on her
hips and her feet in the firmest stance she could manage as she wobbled on the
uneven sidewalk. Then she looked down at her feet and a strange sense of déjà
vu washed over her as she stared at the cobblestone path. Her mouth gaped, her
breathing quickened. With dread she looked up at the buildings on the street.
Her vision blurred. Everything around her spun and faded away as she collapsed
into strong arms. She had a vague awareness of him lifting her. As he adjusted
his hold, she bounced against his solid chest. She must be dreaming. That was
the only explanation that made sense. Nothing like this ever happened in her
boring, ordinary life. It’s just a dream. Swallowing her disappointment, she
glanced up at the determined expression on his face. He carried her effortlessly,
like she weighed nothing. When she rested her head on his chest, she could feel
his heart beating steadily. She ran her hand lightly across his defined bicep. Wow.
He wasn’t real, but she might as well make the most of it; from experience she
knew her dream wouldn’t last forever.
