Book Summary:
Grace Ashby doesn't appreciate the sexy
SEAL trying to step in and take over. He thinks she’s hit rock bottom by
working at a strip club, but she knows differently. She could set him straight,
but he’s already rejected her once, and she doesn’t need one more man judging
her.
She tells him to butt out of her
business and her life. But Josh’s conscience won’t let him walk away this
time.
Excerpt:
Stephie showed up
with his drink. Josh didn’t even give her time to set it on the table, he took
it straight from her hand and tipped it back, taking the whole thing in one
swallow.
“Ooooh-kay,”
Stephie said in a half-laugh. “I assume that means you’d like another?”
“Please.”
The older man
moved his hand up her back and kissed Grace on the temple, before wandering off
through the club. Grace made her way to a dancer straddling a customer’s hips
near the stage. With a very friendly stroke of her hand over the man’s
shoulder, Grace glided around behind the dancer, put her hands on the woman’s
waist, her chin on her shoulder and let her body follow the movement.
“What in the
fuck...?” Josh murmured, unable to pull his gaze from the erotic sight.
Grace’s hands slid
lower, gripped the woman’s hips and urged them into a deeper, sexier roll. She
spoke to the client as she thrust, easing the dancers hips into a deeper, more
rhythmic thrust. He nodded, eyes big, mouth open like a drooling puppy, and
Grace smiled, a sultry, seductive smile Josh had never seen before. The dancer dropped her head back to Grace’s
shoulder, raised her arms to wrap them around Grace’s neck and turned her face
against the skin of Grace’s throat.
Patrons sitting
nearby cheered their approval of the girl on girl action, and the heat
simmering in Josh’s body rocketed through his groin and up his chest. He fought
to search out the what, the how, the why of this, but his mind floated in distracting
titillation.
“Here you go.”
Stephie set Josh’s second drink down.
“Thanks. Keep ‘em
coming, will you?” he asked.
“Who are you?”
Stephie asked. “Her new bodyguard or something?”
Josh’s gaze broke
from the erotic sight of Grace getting it on with two others and focused on
Stephie. “Why? Does she need one?”
“I personally
think we all need one after what happened last week. But, no one’s springing
for any service, so I guess we’re relying on our monkeys in suits.”
“Stephie!” Someone
called from close by. “Need another drink over here, sweetness.”
She glanced at
Josh again. “I’ll bring you another in a few.” Then she darted through the
shadows to another table.
When Josh returned
his gaze to the lap dance, Grace was gone, the original dancer still going at
it with her customer.
He scanned the
area and found Grace weaving through the club, greeting men, group by group,
stopping to talk for a moment, then moving on. No lap dances. No running to get
drinks. Josh couldn’t figure out the setup.
Josh downed the
next drink in two swallows, but the first was already hitting his blood stream,
making him bolder, braver, and—he knew from experience—far more stupid.
When the song
changed and the women on stage transitioned once again, Grace watched closely,
then scanned the club, like an overseer, her gaze pausing on every girl as they
worked the room. And Josh could only compare her behavior to a lion watching
over her cubs.
He was trying to
figure her out while fighting complex emotions he was sure colored his perspective
when her gaze passed over him. Then her eyes jumped back and held on his face
with a spark of shocked disbelief. A sizzle broke out across his ribs. No
turning back now. She’d seen him. She knew he didn’t belong here. She knew this
wasn’t a coincidence.
About
the Author
And, yes, even love, because
while wicked-great sex is good, happily ever after with wicked-great sex is
even better. Skye (aka Joan) lives on the central coast of California in the
heart of wine country with her husband and two daughters. As often as possible,
she retreats to a hotel with critique partners for a power-writing week where
much drinking, laughing, and yes, even working, ensues. When she’s not writing,
Skye goes to breakfast with her hubby, attends her daughters’ barrel races, and
spends a lot of time with her own horse, Riddle…while her two dogs, Paxton and
Indie, tag along. She also loves to read, knit, craft, row, ride, and dabble in
photography.
