Smokejumper Dave Knight lives by two simple
rules—play hard, work harder. Heartache taught him love and commitment don't
mix with his high-intensity lifestyle. That hot kiss with the classy Olivia
Benedetti-Harper was a mistake, but he walked away in time. Too bad he can't
run from the memories. Then a plane crash shatters his future, forcing him to
face the ashes of his past, the woman he can't forget, and the toughest
challenge of his life: Stop running.
The right man broke her heart. How could
the wrong man heal it? Obedient daughter and dutiful wife, Olivia always
followed the rules—only to be abandoned by her unfaithful husband. As she
rebuilds her life, bad-boy Dave is a sizzling temptation she can't afford.
However, breaking the rules with the wrong man might be the best mistake this
good girl's ever made for love.
“Come here.” Dave held out his hand.
“You’ll need your back done.”
Olivia handed him the sunscreen bottle and
knelt.
He lightly kissed her nape before drizzling
the lotion over her back. He smoothed both hands along her spine to the cleft
of her bottom and to her hips, gliding, sliding, over waist, ribs, shoulders,
and neck, turning the simple lotion application into a sensual massage. Her
sigh escaped as a dreamy groan.
“Turn around.” His low husky voice drew a
deep shiver through her core.
She shifted around, and her mouth dried at
his simmering gaze.
He squeezed more lotion onto his
fingertips. “Shut your eyes.”
Bright sunlight glowed through her closed
eyelids. Cool touches of lotion brushed her face and throat, and she shivered
under Dave’s delicate touch.
“Keep your eyes shut.”
She heard him shift on the blanket. His
fingertips traced her face, trailed down her throat, and his breath whispered
over her face, the scent of apple warning how close his lips were to hers. More
gentle sweeps followed, ever lower, to the curves of her breasts.
His lips brushed hers and he dusted kisses
across her cheek and jaw, and the tip of her nose, which made her giggle. His
warm hand cupped her breast and, at the rough graze of his thumb, she shivered,
nervous, yet greedy for more. As he drifted more lazy kisses lower, his thumb
played a mesmerizing rhythm, setting her pulse to anxious dancing.
Stop, let him play. This is what you’ve
craved: to play, to be wanted, to feel.
Carefully following the rules had brought
her heartbreak. Breaking the rules couldn’t be any worse. Right?
The world spun for a second as he rolled
Olivia under him.
She gasped and blinked, startled, but
intrigued. Yes, she trusted he’d honor a no, but all she could think was oh,
yes.
