Excerpt
Parker didn2527t care about Glenn2527s speech, not when he needed to find
Claire and make sure she was safe. Police sirens wailed in the distance—someone
probably called them before the tiger
prowled free which is how they arrived so soon—and he finally spotted his
wayward date. Claire climbed up on the cab of Glenn2527s truck as though for a
better vantage point and waved her arms in the air. He forced his way to her,
relief flooded through his veins like a drug, and he reached up to help her down.

“Stuff like this doesn2527t happen often, Parker. It2527s just a crazy night.”
She braced her hands on his shoulders as she slid down the length of his
body. People shoved past them in an attempt to flee before the police arrived
or to escape a freed tiger out for blood, and Parker tightened his arms around
her before she had the chance to fly the coop. Claire gripped the lapels of his
jacket with her fists, a strange gleam lit her eyes like blue fire, and she
kissed him as though her life depended on it. His head swayed from the fevered
onslaught of her lips and her body pressed against his, but he couldn2527t savor
the moment.

Red and blue lights flashed down the street and headed right toward them.
Sexy Excerpt
Parker kissed her once more and pulled out to collapse beside her. Claire
snuggled on his chest as he opened his arms to hold her close. His heart beat
strong under her ear and she breathed in his scent.

“I swear, Claire, you2527re never gonna leave this bed. That was awesome.”
Her pride swelled. “Good to hear, but I plan to tie you to the headboard

“I2527m down with that. Scarves, belts or ties, it2527s your choice.”
“Hmm? I might take you up on that next time.” A squeal almost strangled
her as Parker pushed her back on the mattress and seized her mouth. Stars
danced in her vision and the storm in her blood fired up again. He leaned up,

“I love your flirty giggle. Do you know how sexy it is?”
Claire nodded, not in the least modest, and relaxed on the pillows. “Has
anyone ever told you you2527re a great kisser?”
