Now, two years later, Mace has returned. And Charlie doesn’t like it one bit.

The last thing she needs in her life right now is a pain-in-the-butt, hardheaded man—a man who still holds her responsible for his brother’s death. But wanting him? That’s an entirely different story. Despite everything that’s happened, there is no denying the sparks between them.

An excerpt: A deep bass voice roared in the air, stopping her near the sofa and loosening the beats of her heart into a rapid rush of a thundering waterfall. She recognized that voice. "Matt", she whispered. Suddenly large arms encirled her, lifting her up and throwing her down onto the red and green flowered sofa, capturing her hands high up over one of the arm rest. She whispered his name again, feeling the heat burning off his body like rays of a tanning bed in the middle of a Seattle rain storm. "Matt." "Kate?" Mint scented breath breezed over her face, sending her heart rate once again dangerously out of control. "Damn it, I could have hurt you." Jerking up off her melting body, he moved to the nearest lamp and switched it on before twisting around to face her. HIs features blanked like a mask, hiding the concern lightening in his brown eyes. "Sit up." "Matt." "Get up." Dark eyes glared at her, focusing on the exposed expanse of her tiny middle. "And you might as well cover up, it won't work on me." "What won't work on you?" "I don't care how sexy you are, how beautiful you look laying there in the dim light, TopNotch Security is not going to finance that damn television show." He glared harder at her. "I don't know what Erin was trying to do, bringing you here, but it still won't work. My answer is still no." Buy Links Amazon BN (Print)
