He's being set-up to take a fall
She's his only hope...but can he trust her?
KISS ME SLOWLY
Diamond smuggling, murder, and sizzling second chance romance set in the smoldering Florida Keys
Cheating this week with 10 paragraphs as opposed to 8...shh...don't tell...Welcome to the Scintillating Sunday Blog Hop!
Excerpt...
“You
have blood on your dress.” He fingered the strap in question that had slipped
off her shoulder. “You should probably take it off.”
“Careful.
We can’t go there.” Sand clung to her neck and stuck to the tangles in her
hair. The light from the bedside lamp shadowed her face.
“I
meant change out of it, not…well, maybe I meant take it off. But then we’d be
crossing lines that you don’t want to cross.” He let his fingers trail down her
arm. “That would be wrong. Terribly wrong.”
“You
are nothing but trouble.”
“You
always liked trouble.” He rested his right palm against the bed, supporting his
weight on his healthy arm.
“Listen
carefully to me.” She pressed her finger against his lips. “I’m high on
adrenaline, we’re alone, no witnesses, no regrets. One kiss won’t hurt anyone.”
“No
witnesses, no regrets…” Heat flooded his veins. “Adrenaline…”
“If
I don’t do this now, I’ll hate myself in the morning.”
“You
mean you’ll regret it when they lock me up in the morning and throw away the
key because you didn’t kiss me one last time?”
“Exactly.”
She straddled his lap.
From the back cover....
Trapped
in a set-up that could have him in jail or dead by Monday, Jonathan Alexander
trusts no one in his inner circle. It’s Saturday. His only hope is Grace
Dupont, the best forensic accountant in Miami. But there’s a glitch with that
idea. She’s also his ex-girlfriend who'd rather watch him drown than throw him
a life vest. Going to her feels desperate…because he is.
Grace
enjoys seeing Jonathan squirm. On your knees boy, she thinks as he pitches for
her help. Always a sucker for the dark-haired-blue-eyed boys, she risks her
precariously balanced life of secrets to help him. Helping him slaps a target
on her back–she’s the key to proving his innocence and that’s a bad, bad thing.
Tangled
up in a whirlwind of conspiracy, murder, million dollar money trails and
diamond smuggling, Jonathan and Grace flee to the sea to stall for time to
prove his innocence. Romance sizzles beneath Florida Keys’ sunshine. Both scoff
at happy endings. Both doubt justice. Both know each kiss could be their last.
