Genre: Erotic
Contemporary Romance
Jamie knows Mark is all
wrong for her, but he's so damned hard to resist.
Jamie Shultzer's life is
in a tailspin. Her husband has left her for another man, and to top it off,
she's stranded on a desolate highway in the middle of Nebraska. The last thing
she needs is another complication, especially when it shows up as the tall,
sexy as hell, and much too young for her, Mark Adams. Though to be fair, he's
only ten years too young, and she has to find some way to repay him for
rescuing her.
Mark wants to be the
good guy and leave Jamie alone. After all, her son is his friend and Jamie is
in the middle of a divorce. But he's been smitten with her since the first time
he laid eyes on her years ago. Now that she's available, it's hard to say no to
her sweet tasting lips, and even harder to walk away from her willing body.
Is this the start of
something wonderful, or a disaster in the making?

~Excerpt~
Jamie's car rolled to a
stop by the curb in front of her home. Mark hopped out and started undoing the
chains that he’d attached to the undercarriage of her vehicle. She got out of
the truck and stared at the dark front porch. It looked so vacant and
unwelcoming.
"Don't drive it
until you fill it with coolant." Mark gave the hood of her car a pat.
"Or at least water."
"Okay, where do I
put said coolant or water?"
In the glow of her
security light, Mark gave her a grin that could be called nothing less than
dashing. Crooked, with the adorable dimple that she remembered when he'd made a
brief appearance at her son's college graduation party. He walked past, a
little too close, and his body brushed hers. He smelled of clean wet earth. The
black t-shirt he wore fit the play of toned muscle beneath it to perfection.
Jamie licked her lips; she'd like to approach him like a popsicle. Lick him
head to toe and back up again.
They'd seemed to have
shared a moment of chemistry while driving back to her place. She grasped onto
the way Mark had looked at her. The way a man looks at a woman he desperately
wants to kiss. Jamie couldn't remember the last time she'd experienced such a
feeling. It'd been startling and she'd panicked.
Mark reached inside and
popped the hood before walking to the front of her car.
"Come over
here."
His voice was low,
gravelly, seductive, and she floated toward his command like a moth to a flame.
She'd come anywhere, and anytime, with him. Bad porn music started to play in
her head. Bom chica wow wow.
She squeezed her eyes
shut. Good God, she would be in the middle of a messy divorce soon, what the
hell was wrong with her?
"You'll want to put
it in here." He pointed to a part of the engine that looked like a square
plastic container.
Her head was swimming;
lack of oxygen most likely. Her blood had rushed south to her naughty regions.
"Okay." Her
voice squeaked, and she cleared her throat.
"You don't want to
fill it to the top, her unit can't take that. Just put it to here."
Oh, come on! The double
entendres were killing her.
She couldn't help but
notice his long, strong fingers. Long fingers might mean a long…
"Uh-huh,
great." She bit into her top lip until it stung.
"So, that should be
it." He dropped the hood and brushed his hands together. "Do you need
anything else, Mrs. Shultzer?" It was an open-ended question on his part
that left Jamie with way too many answers.
