Welcome to the Scintillating Sunday blog hop where multiple authors share 8 paragraphs of their work that they believe captures the word "scintillating." Enjoy!
Excerpt...
"I'm
not one of the nice guys who play fair," he warned.
"Who
said I liked nice guys?" She reached for the snap of his jeans and pulled
it open. "And why in the hell do you think I play fair?"
He
smiled, reached for the neckline of her shirt, ripped it down the center, and
tossed the pieces of fabric aside. Without hesitating, he dipped his head and
nibbled her neck while his hands claimed her bare breasts.
She
arched upward, craving skin-on-skin, needing the feel of his hard body pressing
into hers. The sea breeze kissed her nude torso, the coolness contrasting
sharply with the heat of his mouth on her flesh.
She
mimicked him by reaching up to the neckline of his already torn t-shirt and
ripping it off of him. Shreds of material blew away in the wind. Sinking her
teeth into his shoulder, she moved her hands frantically over his wide back.
The more she felt, the more she hungered for more of him, all of him.
In
a daze of whiskey and desire, she dropped the back of her head onto the cool
surface of the boat as his mouth claimed her breast. Eyes open, she stared at
the stars and sighed when he dipped a hand inside her shorts.
"We
should go to the bedroom," he muttered against her mouth. "We might
fall overboard."
"I
can swim." She smiled against his mouth.
From the back cover...
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?
