By Lori Sizemore
Genre: Contemporary
Romance
Justine
Montgomery, daughter of a divorced beauty queen and TV magnate, is a tabloid
disaster after her infamous sex tape. She’s so desperate to help save her
family’s home she turns to her deal-making dad. Can she prove to him she’s cut
out for a career in television or will she lose it all?
Sawyer has his
own past and a successful career is his only goal. Seeing Justine fail would
mean the promotion of a lifetime, but things get complicated when he develops
feelings for her. Suddenly, the lines between work, life, sex, and love are
blurry.
They will have
to overcome the bitterness of a rejected ex, the controlling actions of her
father, and the half-truths they’re telling one another to forge a lasting
partnership both on the job and off the clock.
He considered
her for a moment, searching her face. “I want to get you out of those expensive
clothes.”
She froze and
took a jagged breath.
Sawyer slid a
hand behind her to pull her ponytail over her shoulder and run the curls
through his fingers. “I want to mess up your hair, fist it in my hands while I
kiss you until you can’t think.”
As he toyed with
her curls, Justine blanked. At that second, she’d have said yes to anything he
asked of her. She stood to open her door then turned back, unsure what would
come out. “I can’t think right now.”
With a tilt of
the head, he leaned in. “I’m going to kiss you anyway.”
A voice in the
back of her mind told her she was going to have to practice telling this man
no. He pressed her to the wall, sucked at her bottom lip, ran his tongue across
it. Heat blasted through her.
Sawyer tugged
her through the open doorway. He kicked the door shut and backed her against it
slowly. Pale streetlight from outside the window cast them in shadows. The
weight of how much she wanted him almost crushed her. They kissed and, despite
them both being fully clothed, she felt vulnerable. Naked.
His hands
pressed flat against the wall beside her, his breathing as uneven as her own.
“Say it.”
“Say what?”
“Tell me you
want me. That you think about me touching you, that it keeps you up at night.
Tell me it’s not just me.”
“I do.” Her
voice came out fluttery.
He ran a hand
through her hair, toying with the ends. “I wonder things, like how you sound
when you’re excited and…”
She put a finger
to his lips, still moist from their kisses. “Stop saying things like that. I
don’t want to know because then I won’t be able to stop thinking about you
thinking those things.” She tilted her head back against the wall and steadied
a hand on his chest. His muscles bunched beneath her fingers. She needed to
think. She needed to process all of this and…
He lifted her
hand, nuzzling the sensitive skin on her wrist, which sent a quiver down her
spine. When she couldn’t take any more, she withdrew it from his grasp. And
Sawyer was there, picking up where he left off, with a leisurely, complete,
thorough kiss. And, oh, she kissed him back. How could she not? His kiss, it
was everything. Like something in her, that had been off her whole life, snapped
into place.
Her heart
jittered in her chest and propelled her past the desire, past the panic gnawing
inside because she wanted more of him. She wanted to touch him and taste him
and be filled by him, but even more beyond that.
