Scintillating Sunday blog hop where multiple romance and erotic romance authors share tantalizing tidbits of their works-in-progress or novels that embody the word 'scintillating.'
Thanks for stopping by!
Today we're checking out my latest romantic suspense/adventure set in Grand Cayman--Duplicity. Can you feel the heat?
"You
said you weren't my bodyguard," she reminded him with a small smile, once
again trying to hold the tears at bay. "You're just my captain,
remember?"
"Yeah,
well, I'm full of shit." He smiled against her lips before licking the
salt from them. "I really am sorry for losing it up there—"
"I
forgot about it the moment you stripped," she whispered against his mouth.
"One
drunken night is a hook up and nothing more...but the second time feels much
more deliberate." He hesitated a breath away from her face, his blue eyes
dark with both desire and concern.
"Let
me guess," she pressed closer to him, enjoying the feel of the metal
ladder pressing against her back while the warm Caribbean Sea lapped against
their bodies, "you're not the kind of guy who usually has more than a one
night stand."
"Do
you really care about anything beyond this moment?" He brushed his lips
over her neck, his massive body making her feel small and vulnerable in the
water.
She didn't care about anything except the sensations of warm water, metal, heat, salt, his body, his mouth, his breath. Sounds of the rope holding the dingy behind the yacht clapping against the hull competed with the sound of her heartbeat reverberating in her ears.
Feeling more adventurous than she had in a long time, she grabbed the steps of the ladder, unwrapped her legs from around him, moved up toward the boat, and pressed her breasts against his face. He licked her abdomen as she slid past him toward the deck and she smiled at the gleam in his eye.

Blurb...
Nothing bad happens in paradise...or does it?
Lexi Dubois is in trouble. On Grand Cayman for
business, she discovers the company she's been working for is funding a human
trafficking ring—and the money trail leads back to her. Scared for her life,
she charters a boat for a week to hide from the men on the small island who
want her dead and to buy time to find enough evidence to take them down. The
last thing she expects—or wants—is a torrid affair with the hot captain and
dive master.
Larry Gibbon has been running a charter dive
boat operation in Grand Cayman for years. He's seen it all—and done his share
of creating havoc. But when a mysterious woman charters his boat for a
week—alone—he has no idea what trouble she's bringing aboard.
The ocean is vast and unforgiving, but will Larry's knowledge of the Cayman
Islands and Lexi's relentless determination to survive be enough to save them?
**The Wanderlust Series
consists of stand-alone adventure romance novels. Occasionally, characters from
previous novels may make a cameo, but each story truly does stand on its own
merits.
Escape to the Cayman Islands now!
