Excerpt: from Crashing the Boards by Jami Davenport
Party
crashing was an art—if done right.
Isabella
Maxwell should know. She’d been crashing parties for years, at first to get a
decent meal and later—much later—as a part-time profession with her three
younger sisters. She’d never crashed a party she didn’t take from dud to
memorable in minutes.
Tonight
she might have met her match.
She’d
done her research and knew the obstacles and challenges, but nothing prepared
her for the scene awaiting her on the party deck of the Washington Queen, a
local tour boat rented by the Seattle Sockeyes hockey team for an evening
dinner cruise around Elliott Bay.
As
security checked invitations at the door, Izzy snuck past them and peeked in
the doorway, scoping out the scene inside—DJ in the corner, empty dance floor
complete with mirror ball and flashing lights, not a dancer anywhere. Hockey
players were slouched in chairs clumped around tables, reminding her of pimply
faced preteens at a junior high dance. Only these boys weren’t preteens or
pimply faced. They were a formidable wall of broad chests, muscular thighs, and
determined expressions. Each one mirroring the other, but she’d done her
research. There was one man she needed to win over to salvage this party, and
he hadn’t arrived yet.
Her
sisters had already boarded the boat, managing to sneak past security, every
one of them dressed to kill or at least to charm a professional hockey team,
Bethany in her plunging Vera Wang gown and deadly high heels. Emma and Avery,
the youngest at twenty-one and identical twins, looked every bit like giddy
hockey groupies who’d managed to snag an invite to the party. Standing near the
buffet table, they giggled and whispered as they stole glances at the players.
Several players stared right back. Nearby, Bethany engaged the team
play-by-play announcer in conversation, while he stared at her boobs, but men
always stared at Bethany’s boobs.
The stage
was set.
Time to
get this party started. The Sockeyes were going to have the time of their lives
if she had to threaten bodily harm with their own hockey sticks.
“Ma’am, I
need to see your invitation.” A security guard with a receding hairline, the
waist of his polyester pants pulled up to his armpits, and a determined set to
his skinny jaw, stepped in front of her before she could enter through the
double doors.
“Oh,
that.” Izzy made a show of digging through her saddlebag of a purse, not
exactly in keeping with her little black sheath, but it served its purpose. “I
know it’s in here somewhere.”
The
security guard wasn’t the least bit impressed. He tapped his toe on the floor and
took a ready stance as if he expected her to run any moment. Just what she
needed, a SWAT team wannabe. She batted her eyes at him and continued to dig in
her purse.
“I’m
sorry. I know it’s here somewhere.”
“Ma’am,
you’ll need to leave the boat until you can find it.”
She
laughed and rubbed one perfectly manicured finger across his name tag. “Now,
Carl, you just hold on one teensy bit. We’ll get this straightened out.” Izzy
slipped into her fake Southern drawl; it brought most men to their knees.
Not Carl.
In fact, not one hair quivered on his mustache. “My orders are strict. No one,
not even the governor, gets in without an invite.” He wrapped scrawny fingers
around her arm and pulled her none too gently from the doorway. He might look
like a wimp but the guy was surprisingly strong.
No
matter. She’d switch to Plan B.
“My
boyfriend will be here any moment. He must have the tickets.”
As if on
cue, her target for the night walked up the ramp and onto the boat. Cooper Black. The captain of the newly
christened Seattle Sockeyes, and the most outspoken man on the team especially
when it came to the team’s move and current situation, which he hated—the very
man Izzy needed to tame tonight for this situation to turn around.
Judging
by the stubborn set of his jaw and those steely blue eyes, this wasn’t going to
be easy.
