A good read, prizes...What's not to love? Withour further ado, the excerpt:
Dating 911:
Emergency room nurse, Roxanne Carter is a loser-magnet
wishing she could enjoy her single life. Commiserating with girlfriends over
butterscotch martinis creates the idea of The Dating Manifesto--a not so
scientific research project which promises to point the way to dating success.
While gathering data to find the most suitable single men available, she wades
through a series of unsavory, stale dates, which literally places her back at
ground zero. Just when she is ready to give up, sin personified in the form of
sexy firefighter Jett Avery, arrives tainting all of her previous data.
A traumatic warehouse fire, in which firefighter Jett
Avery's closest friend dies, has him suffering from Posttraumatic Stress
Disorder. Attempting to stave off the worst of his depression, he decides to
use his brand of therapy...Sex. The remedy has lost luster until he encounters
ER nurse Roxanne Carter.
The
pursuit of Roxanne by Jett's twin brother, Doctor Cruz Avery, complicates her
research and interferes with Jett's therapy. Does Roxanne choose the brother
who by analysis is the perfect match? Or the broken, dark and irresistible one?
Excerpt:
She held up her hands,
palms facing toward him. “Stop. This is a hospital. Not some stupid television
show where the medical staff is always making out in a closet. I work here.
Don’t even think about it!”
Jett closed the distance
between them until her hands pressed against his chest, searing their imprint
through the thin cotton of his T-shirt. He grasped her fingers and lifted them
to his mouth, licking the sensitive tips with his tongue one by one. Heat
filled her eyes and she trembled.
“You feel the pull, too.
Don’t you?” he asked, dropping her hand.
Jett slid his hands to
her waist, and molded her against his erection. A perfect fit. Her sharp intake
of breath as she shook her head told him all he needed to know. He smiled.
Satisfaction filled him.
“Liar. Shake your head in
denial all you want, but I can see the reflection mirrored in your eyes, and
feel the powerful draw when I touch you,” he said in a husky tone. He rubbed
his stiff cock against her stomach. The intensity of his desire eliminated all
reason.
Jett buried his face in
her neck and breathed in her sweetness. “Hmm. Today you smell like chocolate.”
His tongue traced the delicate shell of her ear as his hands stroked her bare
arms. “But you taste like honey.”
Her knees bent and he
placed his leg between hers to support her. On the brink of total insanity, he
continued his light exploration. His hand skimmed her torso, and skirted the
side of her breast. With slow, deliberate care, he let his fingertips graze her
collarbone on the way to grasp the back of her neck. Another tremor rippled
through her.
God, she felt so damn
good.
She tilted her chin and
her head rested in his open palm. “Jett,” her sultry voice caused his penis to
throb. “This is not a good idea. Anyone could come in here and….”
He pushed his thigh
against her crotch. She inhaled sharply, desire deepening the blue of her eyes.
“You were saying?”
Her brow furrowed. “And…”
“Intoxicating being a little naughty, isn’t
it?” he rasped. He gently tugged her face closer to his. “Hmm. I believe you
mentioned the other night that your most recent sexual exploits have been
lacking. Let’s add something of interest for your science venture.”
