Book Description:
Can one night of passion between a woman and her boss lead to happily ever after?
When Kristopher “Wild” Wilder takes a few days of R&R in Belize after his last mission with D.A.R.K. Cover, Inc., he meets a woman who sets his blood on fire. The night they share is explosive, but little does he know, she’s been hired as D.A.R.K. Cover’s newest pilot. Wild looks forward to continuing their connection; problem is, she’s not on board with that idea.
Alyse Lamar is a damn good pilot. She’s taken this new job for a few reasons, but when she realizes she’s slept with one of her new bosses she isn’t sure she should stay. She can’t seem to keep her hands off him, and vice versa. Her strict rule about never mixing business with pleasure is taking one heck of a beating.
Wild is many things, a quitter isn’t one of them. He wants this feisty woman and knows she wants him just as much. He vows to find a way past her walls and make her understand that what began as one night in Belize is worth breaking all the rules and can lead to forever.
Excerpt:
DANGRIGA, BELIZE
“We’ll see you
in a week then, Ms. Lamar.”
“Yessir. And
thank you again, Mr. Wilder.”
He chuckled.
“We’ll be working closely together, please, call me Adam.”
“How about I
think about it and let you know?”
“I’ll take it.
Enjoy the rest of your vacation.” The call disconnected.
Alyse Lamar had
every intention of doing so. She pocketed her phone with a soft yet emphatic,
“Yes!”
She had gone in
for this job three months ago. After meeting with a company man named Rhodi,
being interviewed, and making it through their vetting process, she’d made the
short list. Which led to more of the same. As they were making final decision
she’d let them know—again—she would be out of the country for two weeks.
Honestly, she’d
been under the belief that would have taken her out of the running for the
position. Her shock at Adam’s—one she’d yet to meet in person—call, she knew
went through when she spoke to him. None mattered for the job was hers.
A fist pump and
another, “Yes!”
Spinning back to
the bar, she drummed her hands along the shiny, smooth top. “Bartender.”
The hot man made
his way down to her. “Yes, beautiful?”
She smiled at
him. “Another beer please.”
“Of course. Same
kind as before?”
“Yes, please.”
He grabbed the
bottle, popped the top, and placed it before her. “Good news?”
She took a swig
and nodded. “Got the job I’ve been hoping for.”
He winked and
pocketed the money slid over to him. Alyse toasted him with her beer and turned
back to get off the stool. She walked down to the edge of the water.
The silken sand
beneath her feet combined with the warm liquid lapping at her toes had her
sighing in pleasure. Once she finished her beer, she pivoted and made her way
back to the bar where she handed the bottle over.
She stuck her
hands in her pockets and made her way down the beach. Not far away, a group of
mixed aged people were dancing along the water. The guys there beckoned her and
she went willingly. Time passed as she danced and sweated to the pounding
music.
Arms up, she
shook her hips, lower lip caught in her teeth. Through the crowd of spectators,
her gaze landed on a man who watched her hungrily. His dark blond hair shone
golden in the sun’s rays. He stood braced shoulder-width apart, muscular arms
crossed and a drink in one hand.
From here, she
couldn’t identify eye color but all she could see was nice. Oh, so nice. He
gave her a brief nod and wriggled his fingers in her direction. Her grin turned
saucy and she crooked a finger at him.
He tipped back
his drink, placed the bottle in the sand, and strode toward her. The sun
gleamed off his bare tanned skin as he prowled closer. Mediterranean blue eyes
honed in on her face as he reached out and snagged her around the waist with
one arm.
Electricity
sparked out from his touch and spread throughout her. Pelvises rubbing against
one another, her core temperature skyrocketed. His touch, the catalyst to the
burning embers created from the output of energy from her dancing. Alyse rested
her arms over his shoulders as they continued to keep the beat and grind with
the music.
That very thing
segued to a slow romantic song. Her mysterious dance partner moved a few sweaty
tendrils to rest behind her ear. She laced her fingers behind his neck.
“Hi,” he
murmured. He placed his hands on her ass, ensuring to keep them pressed
together.
His thick length
was unavoidable. But then, if he were willing she’d not be avoiding it at all.
“Hi.”
