Excerpt:
Oh, for the love of God. The man’s smile was
slow, soft and as sexy as hell. It was like
an invisible aphrodisiac on her newly ignited
libido. She took another sip of her drink, her heart
racing and her body on fire. He looked at her as
though he had X-ray vision…or the ability to
make her want to strip without the request even
passing his lips. Every inch of her body was
Good looks and even better bodies were not to be
trusted. This guy could be just as much
of a cheater as her ex. Even more so, if his
killer smile was anything to go by. She couldn’t
imagine a woman not being affected by it. So why
did she want to keep looking at him?
He leaned his elbow on the bar and faced her.
“So…” He took a sip of his drink. “Do you
live around here?”
Feigning nonchalance, she sat straighter on her
stool and drew forth as much of a
welcome attitude as she could. It wasn’t this
stranger’s fault he’d attracted and intrigued her in
one very dangerous blow. “Yes.”
He smiled. “That’s all I get?”
“That’s all you get.” She returned his smile,
her body relaxing a little. His voice was rich
and deep and had the same warming effect on her
as a shot of whiskey on a cold night. “That is,
until I know a little more about you.”
“Shoot.” He drank. “Ask me anything you want.”
“Okay…” Her gaze dropped frustratingly to his
mouth, most likely quashing her
nonchalance in a heartbeat. She shifted on her
seat and lifted her gaze to his…although his eyes
were by no means a safer option. She cleared her
throat. “What brings you to the Cove?”
His gaze locked on hers and the seconds ticked
by. His blue eyes darkened as his smile
faltered.
Kate raised her eyebrows, curiosity whispering
through her. “Was that not a good
question to start with?”
He flitted his focus to the band once more. “I’m
looking for work.”
She frowned. “In Templeton?”
“It’s as good a place as any, isn’t it?”
She hazarded a guess that the shift in his tone
was meant to induce a throw away
question, to make her believe it was no big deal
why he was in Templeton. Little did Mr. Bad
Boy know, she was blessed—or sometimes
cursed—with the innate ability to read between the
lines, to sense when something wasn’t quite
right with people or situations. Her senses pinged to
high alert with this guy at the sudden stiffness
in his body, the way his jaw had set. His easy
demeanor of a moment before had been replaced
with clear defensiveness.
