Seven Sentences from One Night With the Bride“Don’t try your seduction tricks on me.”
“I’m not seducing you. I came here to close this chapter of my life.”
“You closed it long ago then reopened it today when you stepped out of your pretentious helicopter.” Bridging the distance between them, he pressed his lips hard and furious against hers, thrusting his tongue into her mouth, taking possession.
His fury and frustration tasted too delicious to push away and she welcomed his domination, kissing him back with the same wild desperation.
Every exhilarating, explosive kiss from his sensuous mouth melted away the intervening years, reviving the components of their past relationship—quiet discussions, camaraderie and instant passion.
When her society matron mother
presents Caroline with a one-night stand date a week before her wedding, she’s
appalled. Even worse, the encounter will take place at the fantasy ranch resort
operated by her high school lover, Javier Alvarado. Although determined to
remain faithful to her fiancé, she’s tempted and intrigued to see her first
love again. It’s not like she has to sleep with him.
But one look and kiss later, she
yearns for the man she walked away from so long ago. Unfortunately, when Javier
discovers Caroline is engaged, all he can see is deception and heartbreak all
over again.
Can a 1Night Stand from Madame Eve
reunite them or will one night with the bride sever their ties forever?
Excerpt
He led her to the seclusion of the
stable then spun to face her. “Are you buttering up my employees to gather
secrets about my resort so you can undermine my success and create your own for
Sunburst Hotels?”
She blinked, her blue eyes owlish
and innocent. “You think I arrived in a helicopter and announced my presence to
the entire county to engage in corporate espionage? Granted, I don’t have any
prior experience, but I think I’d take the under-the-radar approach. Arrive in
a rental car and check in anonymously. Maybe apply for a job as a janitor.”
Okay, so he’d accused before
thinking the idea through. Her closeness rendered him temporarily insane. He
gripped her upper arms. “What are you doing then?”
“For Sunburst Hotels? Absolutely
nothing. I quit my job a month ago.”
“You want to apply as my private
janitor? I’m only in my office at night, and if you came in I guarantee you
wouldn’t be emptying garbage cans.”
Her eyes grew even more luminous.
“What would I be doing?”
“Stripping, so I could take you on
my desk.”
Her lips parted, as if the image
turned her on.
The hell with the desk. He pulled
her flush to his body, wanting her immediately—in the stable, on his real turf.
“Wait.” She pushed against his
chest. “We can’t just pick up where we left off fifteen years ago.”
“Why not? We’re two consenting,
unattached adults.”
Of course, they had issues from the
past to work through. But when they’d been together, she understood him the way
no one else ever had.
“Um.” Her gaze dropped away from
his. “Actually, I’m not unattached. I’m engaged.”
Another hot one from Sara!!!
