Charlene Tucker is driven to achieve her goal of becoming a pediatrician, but her rigorous schedule is beating her down. She needs a break from academia, and perhaps pursuing a one-night stand with her hot Italian neighbor will help her relax and re-focus.
Theo Risso enjoys being in control. Tying women up and having them at his mercy is his ultimate obsession. Flirting with Charlene stimulates and challenges his carefree attitude, but his determination to be a good neighbor subjugates his need to dominate her.
A blizzard tamps out the electricity, but not their desire, and being snowed in together provides the perfect setting for Charlene’s planβ¦chase Theo until he succumbs to his own need to take control, to bind her body, and free her mind. Passions run high and tempers will clash as Charlene’s pursuit challenges Theo’s willpower to resist. But will her need for control threaten her ability to surrender herself to him?
Excerpt:
Theo obviously liked how I looked. Heβd enjoyed an eyeful of my bra-less chest and heβd also taken a sudden interest in my lips. I licked the lingering droplet of wine off the upper while lowering my glass. Time to get things moving. βSo.β
He lifted his gaze, brow quirked. βSo.β
βWhyβd you agree to come over tonight?β
Theoβs sexy smirk sent flutters through my stomach. βI enjoy making you laugh. Helping you remember thereβs life outside of your lifeβs goal.β
βIs that all?β
He nodded and tipped up his glass, not taking the time to savor the dry, oaken flavor.
My entire body tingled with the thought success was in reach. βWhy didnβt you sit over here with me?β
Theo peered at me with his dark eyes. Fathomless and unreadable. βBecause youβre on a mission.β
For the second time since heβd arrived, laughter bubbled from me. βI am.β
βAnd according to you, you always succeed.β
βI do.β
He studied the wine while swirling it in the glass. βI sat over here to thwart your plans.β
I narrowed my eyes as I studied his face. βWhy?β
βYou donβt need any distractions right now.β
Spine stiffening, I lifted my chin. βOr perhaps thatβs exactly what I need right now.β
βNot my kind of distraction.β
His gaze latched onto me, and finallyβfinallyβheat Iβd dreamed of simmered in his stare. I fought the strange desire to lower my eyes. βI never back down. Ever.β
His coy smirk sent a rush of moisture straight south to slick my panties. βYou should.β
βOh?β I allowed my smile to grow and rubbed a fingertip along my shirtβs drooping neckline. His attention swung downward. βAnd whyβs that?β
βYouβre messing with fire.β He lifted his gaze and scorched me with the lust in his black eyes.
Fire? Oh yeah. My body ignited, and burning need swelled between my thighs and settled into my clit. I got up and set my wine glass on the coffee table while moving around itβall without breaking eye contact. Focused on his face, I peered down at him from between his legs. βI can handle a little heat.β
