Synopsis:
Wild girls get what they want… After moving to New York City, Hailey Thompson lands a job as the assistant to her older brother’s best friend - and her childhood crush - Andrew Everly. Seeing Andrew again both thrills and terrifies her. The lighthearted boy she remembers has grown into an impossibly handsome man, but he’s also become a cold and ruthless businessman. When Andrew agrees to hire Hailey as a favor to his childhood friend, he still thinks of her as the fresh-faced girl that he knew growing up. On the contrary, she’s all woman. Temptation in a short skirt. As alluring as she is though, the little beauty is far too flighty for a man like him…not to mention that he’s her boss. As Andrew secretly struggles with his self-control, Hailey does everything in her power to crack his rigid façade. After being forced to spend a weekend away together on business, Andrew’s rigorously sculpted mask of discipline begins to slip, and Hailey gladly takes advantage of the opportunity to educate him in the ways of seduction. He can claim all he wants that he likes his women elegant and controlled, but Hailey knows a dirty little secret…when it comes to matters of the heart, wild girls rule.Excerpt
Lord, he
was so beautiful. So unapproachable. And while she hated to do this now, when
it could very well scare him away, it was eating at her and she had to let it
out. “Should we talk about what
happened back in Atlantic City?”
His
shoulders stiffened, but he squared his shoulders and turned to look at her
straight on. “I
owe you an apology for the way I treated you, Hailey. I just…freaked out, I suppose. I’ve never been involved
with an employee before.”
“Involved,” she said
carefully. “What
do you mean by that?”
Andrew
sighed and momentarily tilted his head back. “I think you’re an amazing woman, but I’m going to level with
you. I’m not looking for
anything serious or long-term.”
His
words caused a little pinch in her heart, but that was stupid. She’d already told him the
same thing.
Don’t be crazy,
Hails.
This
wasn’t about love or romance.
It was about great sex. She needed to remember that.
She
could handle that.
“I’m not looking for more, either.” Then, because
it needed to be said, she asked, “What are you looking for, Andrew?”
“I don’t know, I…” He sighed,
his gaze washing over her. Drinking her in with an intensity that sent a shiver
of sinful longing down her spine.
“I just know I want you,” he finished on a
whisper.
Oh, god. Those six little words washed over her, making
her as wet as if he’d stroked his fingers between her thighs. Or his
tongue.
If she
had her way, he’d be doing both before the day was through.
Putting
all her pent-up lust into her next words, she croaked, “Then take me.”
Her
husky words broke the invisible barrier keeping them apart. He strode forward,
reaching her in a few short steps.
Dragging
her to him, he closed his hands around her ass and lifted her so her legs
wrapped around his waist. Their mouths found each other, tongues tangling
wildly as if battling for dominance.
This was
one fight they were both going to win.
Through
her haze of lust and passion she barely noted him moving around. Colliding with
the coffee table, then gliding past the couch. Her back hit the wall hard, and
then, thank the heavens, he was pressed to her front.
His warm
hands slid her dress up her thighs while his hips pumped intimately against
hers.
“Oh god, that feels so good,” she panted.
“Yeah?”
His teeth scraped the sensitive skin on her
neck. “Do you know how fucking
crazy you’ve
driven me this past week?”
“I can guess.” Her fingers tangled in his hair. “As crazy as you’ve made me.”
A
rumbling sound came from his throat. “Those short skirts you wear. The way you bend
over when you’re
standing near my desk…”
“What about it?”
she whispered.
He bit
down lightly on her collarbone. “You do that on purpose, don’t you?”
“Yes,”
she gasped without thinking.
He let
out a hoarse chuckle. “I thought so. How do you think I should repay
you for all that torture?”
