Once you slap the hell out of the
light heavyweight champion of the world on the night of his first loss, how do
you convince him to give you an interview? That’s the dilemma Samantha
Wellington finds herself in after turning down the most desirable yet foul-mouthed
athlete she’s come across. Unfortunately for her, her job depends on getting
his interview and this boxer’s not talking.
When Trent “The Punisher” Page is
humiliated by the spunky reporter, then cornered for an interview, he does what
he does best: he plays dirty. He didn’t earn his nickname for being nice, after
all. If the little minx wants to know more about him, she’ll have to pay with
the one thing she’s not willing to give – herself.
Her elements of surprise meet
their match in his determination to succeed. With vastly different motivations,
can they break down the enemy without jeopardizing themselves?

As she
stopped to unlock the car, he came up behind her, standing so close he could
smell her shampoo.
“Dinner was good and all, but what else you got in store for me,
babe?” he whispered in her ear.
She turned slowly, teasing him with those lips that were inches
away from his. “You mean this wasn’t enough?”
He chuckled. “Not nearly.”
Her eyes twinkled up at him. “I figured as much, which is why part
two is coming in a week.”
“Part two?”
She nodded, giving him a mysterious smile.
“I don’t think I like the sound of that. If you’ll throw
chicken-fried steak at me next week, that’s not gonna get you any closer to the
interview.”
She threw back her head and laughed. It was one of the most
satisfying sounds he’d heard in a long time.
“I’m not arranging for another meal, Punisher. But my end of the
bargain comes in several parts, so you’ll just have to be patient.”
He brushed a strand of hair away from her face and grazed her
cheek with his thumb. “I hate being patient.”
“What a surprise,” she said, staring up at him.
He lowered his thumb and ran it over her bottom lip, relishing the
fact that he’d been right about how soft it would feel. Jesus, he was getting a
fucking hard-on from running a finger over her lips.
“Will part two be worth my time, then?”
Her lips parted, and for a second, he thought she’d lick his finger,
but instead she pulled her head away and nodded. “Every second of it.”
He inhaled deeply and let his disappointment flow out of him with
a loud sigh. “I hope so. This is dragging on for far too long.”
She walked around the car and opened her door. “All good things
come to those who wait, Page.”
“Those good things better include crotchless panties and high
heels,” he grunted, getting in.
She laughed again, dashing his hopes.
