Book Description:
Roni’s dreams of
becoming a contemporary dancer were smashed under the brutal rage of her
ex-husband's fists. Getting divorced and starting over at the age of twenty-two
was never her plan, but maybe in Texas, she'll find her path. When the town's
local player, Rich, opens a Rec Center, she sees a way to rekindle her dancing
dreams...and maybe have a little fun with her sexy new boss.
Rich never expected to fulfill his dreams in the town he planned to leave
behind, but that's just what he's doing. His reputation as a noncommittal
ladies' man might make it challenging to earn respect in the business world,
but he's willing to prove that he's serious. In fact, when it comes to pursuing
Roni, he's more than willing. But she's taking a page out of his book, not
wanting to risk another relationship. Can he convince her that his playboy days
are over and that she can trust him with her heart?
Excerpt:
She pushed the door open and peered
inside. Her jaw dropped and her eyes seemed to freeze open at the site before
her.
There was a
makeshift bed in the corner, boxes strewn about the room, and a door that led
into a small bathroom. In the center of the room Rich stood in nothing but
basketball shorts. His very toned and naturally tanned body glistened with
sweat as he worked the speed bag before him, his fist moving rapidly as they
punched.
The quick
curl of lust in her belly shocked Roni. She’d never had such an intense and
immediate reaction to a man before. Even more shocking was the fact that it was
Rich that caused her body to suddenly feel infused with liquid heat.
He hadn’t
heard her enter. The music was too loud, and he was totally focused on pounding
the bag.
Roni
couldn’t look away. She felt a visceral need to touch. As the muscles rippled
under his skin with each movement, her hands itched to feel.
Roni shook her head briefly. What was she thinking? This was
Rich. A player. A Flirt. The exact opposite of the kind of guy she needed in
her life.
Someone needed to explain that to her
legs, she thought. They were about to give out.
Suddenly
she realized that the movement before her had stopped. She shouted out, “Hey,”
to get Rich’s attention, before he turned and caught her staring at him. The
last thing she needed was for Rich to think she thought he was hot!
Rich wiped
at his brow and turned, a grin spreading across his face when he saw her in the
doorway. He held up a finger, to tell her to give him a second. He crossed the
room and bent to turn down his iPod.
Roni
stifled a groan at the sight of his ass as he bent over. Who knew a man’s ass
could be so freakin’ tight? And his back… Good Lord!
Roni
composed herself as he turned back towards her, but couldn’t help the jitters
of happiness in her stomach, when he didn’t reach for a shirt.
“What’s up,
Roni?” He seemed truly happy to see her.
“Hey,” She
responded, trying to focus on his face. His brown hair was curling at the ends,
damp with sweat. She didn’t understand why she found that so attractive. Maybe
it had been too long since she’d had sex. It shouldn’t feel like she had to
make a concerted effort not to throw herself at him. “Um, not much. I hope I’m
not intruding.”
