Synopsis
A doctor living a double life
By day, Dr. Will Daley is one of
Dallas’s most eligible bachelors, but every night he dons his
leathers as one of Sanctum’s most desired Doms. He’s sworn off
looking for a long-term relationship but is captivated by the club’s
newest member, Bridget Slaten, even though they couldn’t be more
different. She comes from a world of privilege and he was raised in
poverty. When he discovers she needs a date to her sister’s
wedding, he makes certain he’s literally the only man for the job.
A woman no longer willing to live in
the shadows
For most of her life, Bridget hid
herself behind her laptop. She can write romantic, sensuous lives for
her characters but not herself. Having Master Will as her date to the
wedding is a thrilling prospect but he has a special request. He
wants her to accept two weeks of his services as a Dom, a lover, and
expert in BDSM, and that is an offer she can’t refuse. Their sexual
chemistry is undeniable, but it’s in the tender moments that
Bridget realizes she’s falling for a man who might never trust her
with his heart.
A love strong enough to cherish
Together in paradise for a week, Will
realizes he can’t imagine his life without Bridget. As the
wedding approaches, ghosts from their past come back to haunt them
and threaten to ruin the peace they’ve found. With everything
exposed, they will have to risk it all to claim the love that can set
them both free.
“I thought you were staying for
dinner.” He moved in, taking up all the space. This close, she
could see that he had a five-o’clock shadow across his perfect jaw.
She was a sucker for a square jaw. Damn it. Even his ears were hot.
She kind of wanted to lick them to see if he was ticklish there.
Excerpt
“I think that’s a bad idea.”
“Because I’m not looking for
anything serious?” Will asked. “Does everything have to be
serious? Do you go into every relationship looking to get married?”
“No. I don’t think about getting
married much.” Her parents’ marriage was so bad she often
couldn’t stomach the idea. “But I’m getting too old to do the
one-night stand thing.”
He moved in closer and she nearly
forgot to breathe. He smelled so good. Clean and masculine.
Sandalwood. He’d likely washed with it. All over. A vision of him
soaping that body made her mouth water. “I didn’t say anything
about one-night stands. I said maybe you shouldn’t take every
relationship so seriously. Bridget, I want to spend time with you.”
And her nipples were hard. Yeah, they
wanted to spend time with him, but her brain was still in charge. “My
sister’s getting married in Hawaii.”
Oh, her brain was a traitor, too.
He loomed over her, his body inches
away. His lips curled up in the sexiest grin. “Really? That sounds
like fun. When is that happening?”
He was going to kiss her. His lips were
going to touch hers and she had the sudden and deep fear that she
wouldn’t be the same afterward. Still, she couldn’t quite seem to
move, couldn’t get the will worked up to step back. She only
managed to run her tongue across her lips to make sure they weren’t
bone dry. “Soon. Next week.”
He sighed, his hands finding her
shoulders. “Oh, I guess you’re going to be out of town then. I
was hoping to see you while I was on vacation next week.”
She was mesmerized by his eyes. This
close, she could see how green they were. His hands moved to her
neck. “You could come with me. I need a date.”
Now she was kind of happy everyone else
had turned her down. It seemed right to ask him, good to be here with
him.
There was the sound of a phone ringing.
He shook his head as his hands sank
into her hair. The way he was taking his time did something for her.
The men she’d been with before had all just gone for it and would
likely have already been pawing her boobs by now, but Will was moving
with languid seduction. It was like a dance. “You need a date?”
The only thing pulling her out of the
sensual haze was that stupid phone. Who had a landline these days? “I
do. Shouldn’t you get that?”
His nose touched hers as his fingers
ran along her scalp, sending pleasurable shivers through her body.
“Don’t worry about it. The hospital requires I keep a house
phone. And a pager. And a cell. If it’s really important, they’ll
page me. This is more fun than answering the phone, don’t you
think? Bridget, you know I won’t be able to keep my hands off you
if we go to Hawaii together.”
She didn’t want him to. She was
fairly certain she was going to fall into bed with him in the next
ten minutes. Maybe he was right. Maybe she took everything too
seriously and she should have some fun for once in her life. Maybe
she could handle it. “Will?”
His mouth hovered right over hers, and
there was no way to mistake the satisfaction coming off him. He
wanted her. God, he really wanted her. “Yes, Bridget?”
“Do you want to come to Hawaii with
me? We could have fun.”
