BLURB
Burned,
Felix Sinclair has all but vowed never to get seriously involved with another
woman as long as he lives. After a long day's work, Felix Sinclair is looking
forward to getting back to his luxury apartment in the city. When he detours
onto a road less traveled in order to shave off some travel time, the last
thing he expects is to wind up stranded in a roadside ditch in the middle of a
downpour--or to fall into the arms of a beautiful woman.
Recently
divorced, jobless, friendless and utterly alone, Poppy Montgomery is struggling
to convince herself that single life is what she wants--needs. Then a handsome
stranger staggers into her life and sparks fly. Riding out the storm together
is bound to stir up heat, but once it passes, will they be able to walk away?
AUTHOR’S
NOTE: STRANDED is the first in an
interconnected series of erotic romance. Each book can be read as a stand
alone, but you will find that each new character has been previously introduced
in some way. As an introduction to the series, STRANDED is
a novella, but rest assured each new addition will be a full length novel worth
sinking your teeth into.

As he rocked against
her, she could feel his length probing her entrance, and she lifted her hips,
eager to take him in.
Felix laughed and
pulled his hips back. Poppy groaned her displeasure. “So impatient.” He kissed
her forehead and smoothed her hair away from her face as he gazed down at her.
“Not yet, kitten. First things first. Do you have any condoms in here?”
Startled, Poppy shook
her head. She didn’t think she would ever find herself in this situation again,
so she never thought to keep any on hand. Sex hadn’t been the farthest thing
from her mind, exactly, but having it with a man certainly had been. She had
even stopped taking her birth control. And here she was, preparing to let some
guy she’d known for two minutes plunge himself into her, and she hadn’t even
thought about protection of any kind. She wanted to slap herself for being so
stupid.
“That’s okay,” Felix
assured her. “I have a couple in my wallet. I just have to go and get them.” He
pushed himself off her and Poppy squirmed from the loss. “I’ll be right back.”
She watched as he
walked away, completely naked and not caring in the least. He looked almost as
good walking away, she thought, smirking to herself. Lying in complete silence
made the time stretch on forever. Bo shifted in the corner and huffed loudly,
and Poppy’s head snapped up. He was staring at her in that way that animals
sometimes do that makes you feel completely exposed and a little shameful.
“What?” Poppy asked, refusing
to feel guilty. “I’m not doing anything wrong.” Bo tilted his big head and
looked at her quizzically. “Don’t look at me like that. When you go without sex
for as long as I have, then we can talk. Besides, he seems like a perfectly
nice guy, and I don’t see you kicking up a fuss.”
Felix strode into the
room then and looked at her strangely. “Who are you talking to?”
Propped on her
forearms, Poppy smiled shyly. “Just Bo.”
“Ah.” He glanced back
at Bo. “I don’t think he likes me.”
Poppy waved him off.
“If he didn’t like you, I think you’d be missing a limb right now. Bo is very
protective of me, and the fact that he hasn’t tried to kill you for touching me
yet is pretty telling.”
“Yet being the
operative word,” Felix muttered as he climbed onto the bed and settled himself
between her legs again. He held up a foil packet. “I wonder how old Bo is going
to react when his master is screaming to the heavens.” He wagged his eyebrows
at her and tore the foil open with his teeth.
“I—Ah!”
As he rocked against
her, she could feel his length probing her entrance, and she lifted her hips,
eager to take him in.
Felix laughed and
pulled his hips back. Poppy groaned her displeasure. “So impatient.” He kissed
her forehead and smoothed her hair away from her face as he gazed down at her.

at her and tore the foil open with his teeth.
“Screaming, huh?”
Poppy’s belly clenched with anticipation. She watched as he rolled the condom
down his erection.
“Oh yes,” he assured
her with a wicked smile.
When he positioned
himself at her opening, Poppy drew back slightly. “I thought you said we were
taking things slow?”
Dropping down onto his
forearm, Felix kissed her lips lightly and pushed the tip of his erection into
her. Poppy sucked in a breath. “I did say that, but then I came back to find
you all spread out, waiting for me, and I changed my mind. I won’t lie, this time
will be fast. But after that, I’m going to take all the time in the world to
get to know this body.”
“I—Ah!”
Felix shoved his way
into her body and Poppy nearly came undone. He was bigger than she was used to
and he stretched her, touching every inch of her and creating a delicious
friction that threatened to push her over the edge. He was right. This would be
fast.
