BOOK SUMMARY
"After a passionate public encounter with a mysterious and very sexy biker, big girl Kelly Saunders finds herself on the ride of her life. Her 'Knight on shining armor' -- Rick Knight, billionaire heir to a motorcycle legacy -- whisks her away from her soul-sucking corporate job to Las Vegas, where she finds the road to love is treacherous.
As urgent business matters demand more and more of Rick's attention, Kelly is left to wonder about the future of their relationship. A ruthless betrayal throws her life into turmoil, and a devastating discovery threatens to pull them apart. Is their love just so much Vegas glitter or is it strong enough to survive beyond the dazzling lights of Sin City?"
EXCERPT
"They sat entwined under the stars, swaying
slightly with the rhythm of their own bodies. Rick's hands moved slowly from
her hair down her back. Shivers of anticipation rippled through Kelly. They
were going to make love under the stars. It had always been a fantasy of hers
but she'd never imagined it would come true. But a lot of things she'd never
imagined were happening lately.
Feeling the need to show him she wasn't
some precious flower that needed tending and special care, that she was an
independent woman, Kelly took control. His eyes never left her body as she
moved to stand over him, legs spread, hands on her hips.
"Strip." The single word brought
a knowing smirk to Rick's face. Without a word, and still never taking his eyes
from her, he eased his off his jacket, throwing it aside. His gaze was
positively smoldering as he loosened his tie and started to pull it over his
head.
"Leave it." Kelly commanded on
impulse. His hands paused, then dropped to the front of his charcoal Armani
button-down, his eyes burning into her flesh like a brand. His fingers worked
slowly, deliberately, intensifying her need for him. But she wouldn't give him
the satisfaction of seeing her impatience. Cocking her hip, she let him tease
her with his leisurely pace.
When the shirt was lying atop the leather jacket,
he looked up expectantly, awaiting her next instruction. When she nodded toward
his pants, triumph flashed across his face. She realized her mistake as he
moved to stand. Once on his feet, he would tower over her, emphasizing her
vulnerability and his dominance.
"On second thought, scratch
that." One of his eyebrows shot up, and a look of exasperation took the
place of triumph. She knew the score and she wasn't going to give him an
advantage if she could help it. He leaned back on his elbows -- shirtless and
irresistible -- and studied her.
She couldn't afford to make a misstep or
show any hesitation. This had become less of a game for her and more of a
demand for equality in this relationship. He may be rich, but that didn't mean
he was in control here. Either he accepted that they were in this together, as
equal partners, or he would be taught that lesson. Of course, she suspected
that would be a lesson he might enjoy learning."

Thanks so much for having me, Glass! I'd love to answer any of your readers questions, and maybe they could answer one of mine: What would YOU do with 2 weeks in Vegas?
ReplyDeleteI know what I would do... Can I go now?:DDD
DeleteYou're welcome, Marina. I can't wait to read it.
First thing I can tell you, is I sure wouldn't sleep. Who sleeps in Vegas. Even if it is for two weeks.
ReplyDeleteYou can sleep when you're dead, am I right? ;-)
