Book Description:
John Dorsey’s life is good.
He is the owner of Dorsey Construction.
He’s the youngest person on the board of directors for Advantage
Insurance Company. He lives on the
beach. And he knows he can have any
woman he wants. John’s got the world at
his fingertips… except he’s yet to find a woman that stimulates both his body
and mind.
Elizabeth Wright worked hard in a large Tampa law firm making a
name for herself, but it came at the expense of her personal life. When
Advantage Insurance Company offers her a job as corporate counsel, Elizabeth
cannot turn it down. The thought that
she can have a successful legal career and a life excites and intimidates her.
But when their worlds collide one day in the Advantage board room,
neither Elizabeth nor John knows what’s hit them. All they know is they can’t stay away from
each other.
Excerpt:
“Are you seeing
anyone? Sleeping with anyone?” he asked
further.
“What?” she said, standing up from her chair. Her face was incapable of hiding her shock at
his questions. Her green eyes were
wide. Her lips parted. “What sort of questions are these?” John’s stride made short use of the distance
between them. He stood directly in front
of her, cornering her behind her desk.
He looked down into her green eyes.
They were gorgeous… she was gorgeous.
And he had every intention of claiming her.
“Answer my questions, Elizabeth. Are you seeing anyone?” He watched as her eyes widened even further
with shock at his determination to get answers to his questions. Nervousness flittered across her face, but
her breath came out in short pants as if his close proximity affected her. He watched as her chest rose and fell with
each breath. God, he wanted to feel her body against his. He just knew she would feel perfect against
him… in his arms.
“Your questions are inappropriate,” she replied
sharply. Despite her body giving her
attraction away, she held firm. He liked
that. He liked a woman that wasn’t too
easy of a catch.
“I agree,” he said, impatiently. “They are inappropriate. I need the answers nonetheless.”
“Why?” she asked.
Her gaze scanned his face as if looking for the answer to her question.
“Answer me,” he demanded.
His hand reached out and caressed her cheek as if to soothe the
harshness of his words.
“You are way out of line, Mr. Dorsey,” Elizabeth said.
“Yes, I know,” he said a little softer this time. His fingers tucked a few strands of her hair
behind her ear. His gaze dropped to her
bared neck. He had to fight the urge to
nuzzle the spot just below her ear. “But
I need to know if there are any obstacles to making you mine. Are you seeing anyone?”
“No,” she whispered.
“I’m not seeing anyone.” Her lips
parted for a moment before she bit down on her lower lip. That was almost his undoing.
“Are you fucking anyone?” he asked. She released her bottom lip and sucked in a
breath when he asked that question. Her
gaze fell from his eyes to his lips and then to her hands. He placed his fingers under her chin and
tilted her head up to meet his gaze again.
He wanted to see her eyes when she answered him. There was heat in her gaze, and that thrilled
him.
“No, Mr. Dorsey, I’m not fucking anyone at the moment,” she said. Her voice was hard, but he heard the desire
in it and that snapped his restraint.
His hand weaved into her hair until his palm gripped the back of her
head, pulling her into him. His mouth
slammed down on hers. Her full lips were
soft and pliable, and his tongue flicked out over her lips to taste her. She tasted so sweet…like candy.
About the Author:
I am a
born and raised small town Ohio girl, who moved to the Sunshine State after
graduating from college. I graduated with a bachelor's degree in English
because I could not imagine doing anything else but reading and writing. It is
such a pleasure to be able to share all the stories in my head!
In the
journey of life, I also became a wife and a mother of three children. So, life
is always an adventure. But the love of writing has never died.
My
favorites: I love to read and write...
obviously! But I also enjoy all sports, especially college football and the
Ohio State Buckeyes! Go Steelers! Go Rays! I LOVE to travel... LOVE, LOVE, LOVE
to travel. And I love sharing my love to travel with my children. I love to
drink Teavana teas! I love a good glass of wine, especially if it comes from a
bottle made by the FOOLS wine club… yep, I’m a member of that! I
love hanging out with my family and my friends!
Big fan of music, but love nothing better than putting on my jean
shorts, tank top, cowboy boots and hat and watching Tim McGraw belt it
out! I’m a sucker for a cowboy hat!
