Synopsis
One
taste is never enough…
Spencer Waller’s main purpose in life is to protect and serve.
After spending years in the military, he gets a coveted spot on the Secret
Service detail protecting the president. Spence doesn’t have time for women or
all the work having a relationship with one requires. But just because he isn’t
looking for a lady doesn’t mean he can’t appreciate a beautiful one when he
sees her.
And he makes it a point to see one in particular every single
day.
Elle Bond has literally chopped and fried her way to the top of
the food chain. Earning a coveted position in the White House as the
president’s personal chef, she figures her professional life can only get
better. Her personal life, on the other hand, could use a little bit of an
overhaul, and because of that, she tries to ignore the charm-dripping cookie
thief every time he comes into her kitchen. After all, she knows better than
anyone that just one taste of something good is never enough.
One night after work, Elle is assaulted, threatened, and given
an ultimatum. She can’t go to the police, and she sure as hell can’t do what
she was ordered.
But she has to. Or else.
Pale, shaken, and scared to death, Elle confides in Spence, and
his protective instincts take over. Together, Elle and Spencer have to uncover
a sinister plot and stop it before someone ends up dead.

Excerpt
From this close I
could see the scruff growing in on his jaw area; it was dark blond too and made
him look totally delicious.
Holding my shirt up
with one hand he reached out with the other, gliding his fingers across my
stomach, just below my ribcage. “Here?” he whispered, staring at the area.
I nodded, not
bothering to glance down. The skin stung lightly as he caressed it. I didn’t
care. Frankly, it could hurt like hell and I still would have let him touch it.
Desire suffused my limbs, making them heavy. I felt goose bumps break out over
my bare skin, and maybe I should have been embarrassed at my reaction because
really there wasn’t anything sexual to what he was doing but my body sure as
well acted like there was.
He frowned a little
when my muscled trembled beneath him and glanced up. “Does it hurt?”
I shook my head,
unable to speak.
“It’s just red. No
blisters,” he answered, not looking back down at the “burn” but not pulling his
fingers away either. Spencer watched me as he dragged the tops of his knuckles
down the curve of my waist and moved across my navel.
“You burned
anywhere else?” he rumbled in a low, throaty tone.
Man, I wish I was.
I wished I could point out a thousand injuries just to give him a reason to not
lift his hand.
“No,” I whispered.
He glided his hand
over my hip and curved his palm around the dip in my waist, tugging me just a
little bit closer. Just one step… that’s all I needed to take to bring my bare
waist up against his body.
I tilted my head
back when he bent, lowering his face toward mine. I anticipated his kiss, I
craved it… part of me thought I might need it.
He stopped just
inches away, his heavy lidded eyes spearing mine. “Nice drawers,” he whispered.
It took me a second
to realize what he said, I was too far under his spell.
But when his lips
turned up in an onery smirk his words penetrated my lust laden brain I gasped
and leaped back, pulling my shirt from his hand and yanking it down over my
“drawers”.
“Oh my God!” I
burst out. “You are such a pig!”
He laughed. “What?
I was paying you a compliment.”
I groaned, still
yanking at the hem of my shirt. “You’re making fun of me!” I challenged.
He laid a hand over
his heart and looked at me solemnly. “I do swear that no one wears polka dots
like you do.”
I. Was. Going. To.
Die. Of embarrassment.
