BLURB
He could be her best worst decision…
With a glass of wine in hand, Jane Keegan’s
finger is poised to delete the account her pushy BFF created for her on “The
Cowboys” escort service website. Sure, she’s lonely, but not desperate. Then an
image of sky-blue eyes and warm, tanned muscles jumps off the screen. And she
finds herself hitting the “Book Now” button.
After all, why not? She’s a free, divorced
woman on business in San Antonio. There’s nothing to lose…except her nerve.
Especially when Mr. Tall Dark And Incredibly Sexy meets her at a River Walk
bar—and his only-for-you smile turns her insides into a quivering mass of
second thoughts.
Ryan Zeigler is enduring one last escort
assignment as a favor before hanging up his Cowboys hat to run his own
restaurant. Yet there’s something about the pretty New Yorker’s vulnerable grin
and I’ve-got-baggage eyes that halts his usual dating M.O. in its tracks.
When Ryan sweetens the deal—no strings, no
payment expected—Jane the good girl takes the bold step of letting her vixen
out to play. But when it’s time to go home, her heart is at a crossroads. Is
Ryan the real deal? Or is she letting yet another man take her heart for a
ride?

The air slipped from Jane's lungs. She
searched his face, wondering if he meant the words as a joke. She tried to look
away, but his body was so close to hers that he dominated her field of vision,
from the white shirt stretched over his broad shoulder, with a smattering of
dark hair peeking from his unbuttoned collar, to his stubbled jaw and his full
lips.
God, those lips.
She needed him to kiss her more than
she needed to draw a fresh breath of air into her lungs. But what if she wasn't
good at it? She hadn't kissed any man other than Nick in … how long? Almost
twenty years?
"Querida." He hooked his
thumb under her chin, challenging her to meet his gaze.
"I love when you say that,"
she whispered.
"Querida," he repeated
slower and trailed his fingers up her cheek and threaded them through her hair
to the nape of her neck, pulling her closer.
She froze.
"What’s wrong?" he asked,
capturing her stare.
“It's just…" Truth seemed to be
her only option. "This is embarrassing to admit, but I haven't kissed
anyone else in a very long time."
"It's just like riding a
bicycle."
"That's easy for you to
say."
"And it'll be easy for you to do,
especially with those lips." The palm of his free hand cupped her face,
and he traced her bottom lip with his thumb. "Like I said, I've wanted to
kiss you all night. Actually, all day and all night."
Everything became dark as Ryan leaned
in closer. His intoxicating scent overpowered Jane's senses as his lips brushed
hers, feather-soft, as if he was testing her. She opened her mouth just a
little as a slow heat blanketed her body.
"Just like a bicycle," he
repeated and reclaimed her lips.
As if they knew exactly where to go,
her hands snaked around his back, locking her body into his embrace. She
whimpered into his mouth as his tongue began a leisurely exploration of her
mouth.
Holy crap. Not only had it been a long
time since she kissed someone else, it had been a very long time, maybe never,
since someone had kissed her like that.
After a minute, Ryan pulled away but
kept his hand on her chin. "Well, was it?" he murmured.
Jane's eyes were still closed as she
savored the kiss. "Was it what?" she asked, wishing time would stop
so that they could remain leaning against his car on this quiet street forever.
"Was it just like riding a
bike?"
She smiled. "I'm not sure. I
think you'd better try it again so I can take off the training wheels."
