BLURB
Desperate to escape the promise
of backwater living, Piper ditched her Alabama hometown and never looked back.
That was almost two years ago. Now that she is out of a job and her bank
account is running on fumes, she’s desperate to find a job, fast. She finds the
break she is searching for when she lands a position at Bookish Temptations. A
little dancing and a lot of drinks with the girls seem the perfect way to
celebrate. After a brief but explosive encounter with a man she was never
supposed to see again turns out to be the same man she will be bending over
backwards to please, her every instinct tells her to run. But when running
means leaving the life she has struggled so hard to create, Piper decides her
only option is to continue working for the devastatingly sexy Tate Larson…even
if it kills her.
Unable to deny their growing
attraction, they struggle to keep their distance in a relationship that
requires anything but.

EXCERPT
Skin flushed and blood pumping hard,
Piper soaked in the delicious feeling of a carefree night. Her head felt light
and a little swimmy, her mood elevated—she was on top of the world. When the
hard body mashed into her from behind, Piper went with it, grinding her ass
against the hard ridge pressing against her backside.
Strong hands enveloped her waist,
pulling her firmly against a broad chest. Body heat seared her back, sending shivers
of excitement shooting through her. Her lungs constricted as her breaths grew
shallow. She couldn’t see who she was dancing with, but she didn’t care. She
was lost to the feel of the male body wrapped around her, to the heavy beat of
the music vibrating in her chest, the way his hands and hips guided hers into a
smooth, sensual rhythm. Leaning her head back, Piper closed her eyes and let
the feeling of his arms around her and the constant pulse of the music lure her
toward a state of bliss.
Existing in their own little world,
the song playing overhead about an electric touch was the only thing that
penetrated. Piper concentrated on the fiery sensation of strong hands drifting
over the curves of her body, the spicy scent of liquor on his breath as it left
his lips to caress her ear and neck. The gentle scrape of stubble against the
curve of her shoulder teased her sensitive skin, and when one hand left her hip
and pressed into her belly, forcing her hips to fit tighter against his, all
rational thought fled from her mind.
His breathing grew heavier as Piper
swirled her hips, rubbing him in all the right places. She let out a startled
yelp when his teeth nipped the side of her neck, and when he followed the
playful bite with a swipe of his tongue, her legs trembled. His throaty laugh
did inexplicable things to her insides, and she couldn’t resist reaching back
to grab his firm ass and hold him to her.
This man, whoever he was, was driving
her crazy. In a brief moment of clarity, Piper realized that if she didn’t
break their connection soon, she may never be able to.
When the upbeat music switched to
something slower and more sinful—what Lynn referred to as baby making
music—half the dance floor emptied out. Piper straightened, preparing to break
the connection, thank her partner and head back to the table, when she was
abruptly spun around. Gasping, Piper found herself face-to-face with the hottie
with the body.
Up close, he was even better than she
had envisioned for the last hour. Wild dirty blond hair, crisp blue eyes, a
wide jaw and a straight nose made him the perfect male specimen. And when he
smiled, hot damn! The man had two perfect dimples that she had the urge to
lick. She didn’t, of course, because that would be creepy, but she could do
whatever she wanted in her mind, and she was licking his face like it was the
last Creamsicle on the planet.
He pulled her into his chest and
wrapped his arms securely around her waist, and as he looked down at her with
those piercing blue eyes, she was powerless to stop him. Draping her arms over
his shoulders, they started dancing. While she didn’t recognize the song
playing, it was the perfect setup to a night of drunken debauchery, and judging
by the heated look in his eyes, he was thinking the same.
Wedging his knee between her thighs,
Piper felt an immediate burst of heat flood through her as the denim rubbed
against her exactly where she needed it to. Before she knew what she was doing,
Piper was grinding against his leg and working herself into a fervor rivaling a
dog in heat. Had she thought for one second that he wasn’t enjoying the
spectacle she was making of herself, it was instantly dispelled by the rigid
bulge riding the inside of her thigh. Like her, he was breathing heavily, and
when she tipped her head back, the wild, hungry look in his eyes told her she
wasn’t alone.
Stepping away from her, he took her by
the hand and led her off the dance floor and down the hall toward the
bathrooms.#THATFIRSTKISS
