Description:
Stalking and restraining orders are
a thing of Alayna Pierce’s past. With her MBA newly in hand, she has her future
figured out – move up at the nightclub she works at and marry the manager,
David. He’s perfect for her because, although he’s attractive, he doesn’t get
her all turned inside out and upside down like some other men have. It’s a safe
plan, one that assures she’ll remain in control of her obsessive love disorder.
But
what Alayna didn’t figure on is Hudson Pierce, the new owner of the nightclub.
He’s smart, rich, and gorgeous – the kind of guy Alayna knows to stay away from
if she wants to keep her past tendencies in check. Except, Hudson’s fixed his
sights on her. He wants her in his bed and makes no secret of his plans to
seduce her. Avoiding him becomes impossible after he offers a business
proposition Alayna can’t turn down and she’s drawn further into his universe,
unable to resist his gravitational pull.
Soon
Alayna’s charmed by Hudson in every way possible and the control over her old
behaviors slip. When she learns Hudson has a dark history of his own, she
realizes too late that she’s fallen for the worst man she could possibly get
involved with. Or maybe their less than ideal pasts give them an opportunity to
heal each other and finally find the love their lives have been missing.
Excerpt:
I
moved to the door and placed my hand on the knob. But Hudson’s palm pressed on
the top of the door, holding it closed and trapping me between him and the
wall.
He
lowered his head to my ear. “Wait, Alayna.” His breath tickled and burned
simultaneously. I closed my eyes, taking it in, bearing it. “I apologize for
overwhelming you. That wasn’t my intent. But I want you to know that whether or
not you decide to help with my situation, I will continue to seduce you. I’m a
man who gets what he wants. And I want you.”
Um, holy wow.
Turned
on did not begin to describe how his statement made me feel.
Then
his mouth was on me, nibbling at my earlobe. I drew in a sharp breath.
Involuntarily, I let my head roll to the side, granting him better access.
And,
man, did he take what I gave, nipping a trail down my neck, sending ripples of
desire through my belly. I moved my hand off the doorknob and grabbed his arm
to steady myself. He curled his other arm around me, his hand settling on my
breast. I gasped at the contact, leaning in to his touch.
He
kneaded my breast as he nuzzled his face in my hair. “I should have told you
earlier,” he said softly. “You look absolutely beautiful tonight. I can’t keep
my eyes off you. Serious and sexy wrapped into one package.” He pressed against
me and I could feel his erection at my lower back. “Kiss me, Alayna.”
It
was so hot how he used my name freely. As if it was his to use. And in many
ways it was. Almost no one called me anything but Laynie. He’d claimed my name
when he claimed me.
All
that was left was for me to accept it.
About the author:
Laurelin Paige is a sucker for a good
romance and gets giddy anytime there’s kissing, much to the embarrassment of
her three daughters. Her husband doesn’t seem to complain, however. When she
isn’t reading or writing sexy stories, she’s probably singing, watching Mad Men
and the Walking Dead, or dreaming of Adam Levine. She is represented by Bob
Diforio of D4EO Literary Agency.
