What do you get when you cross one feisty

Confidence.
Sexual prowess.
Confidence.
Sexual prowess.
I know—I’m quite a
catch. At least to most women. But Lily Conrad isn’t like any woman I’ve met
before.
Damn her and that red
dress.
Now all I think about
is her. All I fantasize about is her—her smile, her laugh, her long legs
wrapped around my waist.
My dilemma, you ask?
She doesn’t care that I’m a billionaire. And why should she? It means nothing,
tells her nothing about who I am.
Lily Conrad doesn’t
know what I’m made of, but you can be sure of one thing...
She’s going to find out.
She’s going to find out.

Excerpt
A light sound takes me out of my own
head. I look to my left, and what I see robs me of my breath. I stand taller,
suddenly unable to remember my own thoughts. A profile of porcelain skin, a
sharp nose, and—Jesus—a full red lip
claim my attention. Hair the color of amber piled high on her head, soft
tendrils frame her face. I want to let it down, comb my fingers through it, see
if it’s as soft as it looks…and I keep looking, because it’s impossible not to.
The smooth lines of
her nape are set in grace, my tongue already mapping the perfect path down her
skin. My eyes keep going because there’s no stopping them now. Moving lower to
the dress, the color is a deep red, the neckline plunging. Being six foot one
has its advantages. Even from the side, I can see the dip of cleavage. I lick
my lips, already begging for a taste, wanting to know if she’s as sweet as she
looks. Then I continue on, because wild horses couldn’t drag me away. I need to
see more.
Unfortunately, as far
as skin goes, the rest is covered by the floor-length gown. Whoever she is,
she’s stunning, and I can’t stop staring. She has pleasure and sin written all
over her. I’m hard now. My body ready to do what is instinctual to me.
For the first time
in…well, forever, I want to be reckless. I want to throw her over my shoulder
and drag her to the nearest closet. Sift through all that red, lush fabric and
find her pussy. Put my mouth there, sweep my tongue across her clit. Drag an
orgasm out of her that makes her see stars, makes her see no one but me. I
laugh under my breath because that would be a first.
As if she knows what
I’m thinking, she turns my way, and I’m knocked on my ass. My first thought: I
want to get down on my hands and knees and thank God for this gift from heaven.
Jesus. If I thought she was gorgeous
from the side, head-on, she’s exquisite. Her eyes are a moss green. No, no—that
description will not do. Because that doesn’t begin to describe soft sage
peppered with golden yellow flecks. They’re clear and…wait, vulnerable? Or…I
don’t know, apprehensive? How can a creature so beautiful be so scared? The
million-dollar question—or in my case, the billionaire-dollar question.
When I realize I’ve
been staring too long, I force a word from my lips. Any word will do at this
point. “Hello.”
Just brilliant, Jace.
“Hello,” she says
back, almost reluctantly. “Can I help you with something?”
“Pardon me?”
She gestures with one
hand, long fingernails painted red to match her dress. Red: it’s a bold color,
feisty—daring, even. I wonder if she’s adventurous behind closed doors, if she
likes to fuck on desks, up against walls. I wonder if she enjoys taking it in
what I’m sure is a perfectly curved ass. I sure as hell want to find out. I’d
relish the opportunity to have her mile-long legs wrapped around my waist,
grinding on my cock.
“You were staring at
me.”
And thinking
salacious thoughts, but I won’t mention that.
“I was?” It comes out
like a question when there is absolutely no doubt it’s the truth.
The corner of her
mouth turns up, but it doesn’t match her eyes. What is that I see? I want to
figure it out, and then I want to take it away for her.
“Did you have a
question?”
“A question?” Did I
even ask a question? Why is my brain not computing? I never waver, but this
woman is throwing me off my game.
Maybe she can read my
thoughts. Perhaps she knows the question inquiring minds want to know: How does she like to fuck?
I’ve been silent too
long, imagining all the different ways I could bring her to orgasm, and now it
looks like she’s holding back a laugh. I want to hear what her laugh sounds
like. Is it high and melodic or low and raspy?
“Yes. Did you have
one?”
I can feel the crease
slash my forehead. “I’m…”
An idiot. Confused.
Tongue-tied by your beauty.
Yeah, that’ll do.
Her eyebrows lift.
“You’re…”
I clear my throat and
step into my confidence once again. Then I edge closer, the scent of something
floral floating under my nose. “Tongue-tied by your beauty.”
She actually laughs, and here I thought I was
smoother than that. But hey, I made her laugh, so point for me.

What do you do when an NHL player steals your dog and won’t give it back?
Maggie Hudson made a heartbreaking decision nine years ago that has haunted her ever since. To fill the hole in her life, she showers her rescue dog with love and affection. But one day, Kirby goes missing.
Six months later, NHL player Spencer Corbett is astonished when Maggie shows up on his doorstep demanding her dog back. He’d found the pug on the side of the road, collarless and in bad shape. But even when confronted with hard evidence she’s the dog’s owner, he begs her to reconsider. His own elderly dog is on her last legs and Kirby has given her a new lease on life.
After Maggie relents, Spencer can’t help but fall for her. Not only is she the most compassionate and selfless person he’s ever met, she’s witty, intelligent and sexier than sin and doesn’t even realize. What starts out as a friendship quickly turns into more, but when a woman from Spencer’s past throws everything into chaos, their fragile relationship is put to the ultimate test.
Animal Attraction may be read and enjoyed as a standalone sports romance!

EXCERPT:
What kind of jerk didn’t give back a person’s dog?The PR man said he had personally given Corbett the message only a couple of hours after she’d called. As the days continued to pass with no word, Maggie grew increasingly frustrated and even angry.
Finally, she decided to take matters into her own hands. Kirby belonged with her and damned if she was going to let some immoral, spoiled, self-centered jerk who only pretended to be a nice guy for the public, get away with keeping her dog, even if he was an NHL player.
After making the decision to hunt down the dog-napper herself, she had watched the video segment again, this time watching for clues as to where he lived. They mentioned Hillsborough. Of course. Very high-class neighborhood. That narrowed it down quite a bit. He dropped the name of an Italian restaurant he frequented that was “within easy walking distance” of his house. That narrowed it even further. She printed a map of the area and marked a three-block radius out from that restaurant. They showed a few seconds of him walking away from his house with the dogs on a leash and she froze the video and took a picture of the view.
Then because he mentioned a team party he was hosting to watch the All-Star game, she decided to go to his house and accuse him of dog-napping in front of all his friends. With any luck, peer pressure would make him give up Kirby. Was it going to be horrid, shaming a Dragons player when for more than ten years she’d rooted for the team with all her heart as a hockey fan? Yes. Could she have gone to the media and exposed him the way Jade had suggested? Yes.
But what it all came down to was she thought he was morally despicable and she wanted to tell him so to his face. She wanted the satisfaction of taking her dog away from him personally.
It took her about fifteen minutes of search-cruising before she found his place. Looking toward downtown San Francisco, the view matched the photo.
As she parked her car, the realization hit her that she was about to barge in on what might be the entire Dragons hockey team. Before she’d arrived, all she’d focused on was getting Kirby back. She’d imagined herself going in and righteously claiming her dog. Her main emotion had been indignation. Now, a case of the jitters undermined her determination.
Maybe this wasn’t such a good idea after all.
She looked up at the spectacular two-story house. The sprawling property looked as if Arts and Crafts architecture and Japanese landscaping had a baby. Lush mature trees cast shade over mossy rocks and boulders. The wooden bridge leading to the front door crossed an actual pond, complete with brightly colored koi fish. As she looked around and the luxuriousness of the neighborhood sunk in, the jitters progressed into near-panic. She’d passed the Sierra Point friggin’ Yacht Club on her way, for Pete’s sake.
No. She would do this. Kirby was hers. Even if she couldn’t offer him posh digs like these, they belonged together. She’d had him since puppyhood. They had a bond that couldn’t and wouldn’t ever be broken. Even now, he was probably wishing he were home with her, cuddling on her old sofa watching reruns of Friends and eating microwave popcorn. She told herself the players were only people, like her. People with unusual, high-profile jobs and bodies like gods.
She went up to the front door where a sign said, “Come on in. Hope you brought beer.”
Gathering her courage, she knocked anyway.
No one answered. And it was kind of quiet. Maybe the party hadn’t started yet.
She tried the door and found it unlocked. Before entering, she took a picture of the sign, because if this devolved and the police were called, she wanted evidence that, technically, she was invited in.
“Hello?” she called hesitantly, crossing the threshold into the foyer.
The house was just as gorgeous on the inside as it was on the outside. She’d seen it on the video, but in person, it felt richer and more personal. A San Francisco Dragons player actually lived here. Spencer Corbett occasionally sat on that couch. He walked on this plush rug.
He—gulp—was standing right there, staring at her.

Excerpt
Have you ever had that feeling that you were being watched intensively? Well, I can feel eyes on me as I slowly walk towards the B&B I had checked into earlier. I don’t want to look around in case it’s Voss who has found me. Ugh! I would hate to have my experience in this city marred by a visit from him.
As I slowly move toward the B&B, I can see a man standing outside of it. The man looks very familiar. Yet I know that I do not know anyone in this city. As I get closer to him, his features become clearer, and I can see a big smile on his face. It couldn’t be! But as I could feel the pull toward him, I know it is him. My destined mate!
Not caring about what is happening around me, I start to run across the street to him. As I continue to look at him, I notice the smile disappear from his face. It’s the last thing I see before the black mist drowns out everything and I feel as though I am floating.
