Blurb
Injured Parole Officer Jeremiah “Jim” Borden never expected Calista Barlow, the sassy blonde waitress he’s craved for months, to ring his doorbell. She slips into his heart—and his bed—but he’s obsessed with a gangland investigation that threatens his career and maybe even his life.
Calista doesn’t trust easily, not with a daughter to protect and the stalker who keeps calling her. After her violent ex-boyfriend returns, she finds solace in Jim’s arms.
Jim may have to forego his need for answers to protect the ready-made family he adores, but how will he and Calista escape an unseen enemy that is always one step ahead of them?
Tagline – When threats escalate, will Jim and Calista succumb, or fight for a love they can’t deny?
Excerpt
Calista entered her bedroom and her mouth dropped open. Oh, God.
Her date reclined on her bed as though he starred in a photo shoot. Candlelight flickered across him. The sultry gleam in his eyes arrested her, holding her captive. His sexy smile weakened her knees. None of her past lovers rocked a pair of classic black slacks and a crisp white dress shirt like he did. His chest hair, a few shades darker than the locks on his head, poked from the parted fabric and teased her.
How would that thick hair feel against her skin? Soft? Coarse? Just right?
Jim was spread out for her pleasure like a Christmas present. She wanted to unwrap him, layer by layer. Maybe he should unwrap himself, so she could enjoy the show.
She let her gaze travel the length of his body to the bulge pressed against his zipper. Perfect. He was hard already. She licked her suddenly dry lips.
“Stare all you want, but it’s more fun to touch.” He patted his thigh, the invitation clear.
“I’m tempted.” She cocked her hip. “I guess the blueberry clafoutis can wait, but you’re a little presumptuous to think this is how the night would end.”
Then again, she did mention having breakfast together. What did she expect him to think?
“End? Honey, we’re just getting started.”
She laughed, grasped the hem of her blouse, and pulled it over her head. Her favorite perfume scented the room, and she picked up the bottle. “You like?”
“Hell, yeah. A lot.”
She sprayed a few drops on her fingers, caressed the pulse at the base of her throat, and dragged her touch down between her breasts. His guttural growl teased across her nerve endings, shooting rockets through her belly. She shimmied her skirt down her hips and kicked aside her heels. A red-satin bra-and-panty set sheathed her body. She locked her hands together behind her back before involuntarily covering her breasts and stomach.
“Damn, look at you. Come here, Calista.”

What a tease, Amber! You’re definitely ramping up the heat here.
LOL! I tease to please. 🙂
Nice! I like the way she teases him with perfume.
So do I. Jim’s love of her perfume is one of my favorite parts of the story.
Love the teasing banter between the two. Wonderful snippet, Amber.
Thanks! They sexy-banter a lot. 😉
Jim is not shy. He goes for what he wants and gets it. 🙂
Not shy at all. 🙂 No, ma’am.
Ah, the strip and the tease. No better way to prime the fire and set the stage for some action!
Oh, somebody’s primed all right… *wink wink*
Love the description of him on her bed. Delicious.
Thank you! The original draft was a little dirtier, but this clean-up version is still sexy. lol
Very nice! He might have been presumptuous, but not incorrectly!
