Her Final Fling
Joanne Rock
The last thing Christine Chandler expects when she takes this job is to be distracted by jet-setting Vito Cesare. She should be focused on the landscaping that could make her company a success.Instead, her gaze constantly strays to Vito's hot bod. And by the sizzling looks he sends her way, he's thinking the exact same thing. Can she give in to this particular temptation and walk away unscathed?Spending time with Christine is doing crazy things to Vito's libido. Yet every time he makes a seductive move, she slips away… until he proposes a fling. No hassle, no strings, just a lot of adult fun. But after just a few steamy kisses, he's breaking those rules and feeling much more than heat for her. Looks as if he has to convince her that this will be her final fling!
“So you’re not shy?”
A wicked smile curved Vito’s lips.
“Definitely not. I just don’t like to jump into anything without weighing the situation carefully,” Christine answered.
“Good. Then you won’t mind if I do this.” With a flick of his finger, her sundress lay in a rumpled pile at her feet. She stood before him clad only in her blue bikini bottoms and matching strapless bra.
His bold gaze raked over her, making her ache for his hands to follow the same path.
“A very good trick, Mr. Cesare.” She backed closer to the shower-stall door. “Is that what you learn over the course of seducing countless women around the globe?”
“Hardly.” He reached for his belt buckle and whipped the length of leather out of the loops. “That’s a trick I was only just inspired enough to try. Don’t underestimate the appeal of seeing you naked.”
Oh, he was good. Sexy as hell. Her gaze moved to his hand as he lowered his zipper. She licked her lips, her mouth suddenly too dry.
“I can see the appeal of naked,” she agreed.
Dear Reader,
If you haven’t guessed it already, I love writing about men who love sports. That makes sense, since I’m married to one—my husband spent the first ten years of our marriage as a sports editor. During that time I heard a lot about batting averages, NFL draft picks and shots on goal. None of which I find particularly exciting, but I enjoy seeing men get fired up about them. There’s something about the male competitive drive that makes my pulse pound!
So it is with this hero, Formula One race car driver Vito Cesare. Vito’s been in Europe for the past six years. Now he’s back in Florida to prepare for his sister’s wedding, but he wasn’t expecting to find a green-thumb goddess tooling around his yard with a rake and making herself very much at home.
And of course, Christine Chandler has little use for jet-setting bachelor types when her whole life revolves around planting. I hope you enjoy the sparks when these two get together. Please visit me at www.JoanneRock.com to learn more about my future releases!
Happy reading,
Joanne Rock
