BLURB
Nothing more than a holiday fling…until
he moved in next door!
Staid
professor Lissy McIntyre believes that choosing a mate should be based on
common sense, not runaway passion. And Lissy would certainly never pick a
rolling stone like Nick Richards for long-term love. But a red-hot, tropical
romance? Oh, yeah. He’s got a body just made for sinning and his sizzling
kisses leave her senseless.
When
Nick blows into town, he’s stunned to discover that his no-nonsense new
neighbor and co-worker is the same sultry creature he seduced for one night of
forbidden island pleasure. He’s unaccustomed to staying in one place for long,
but he just can’t seem to keep his hands off the multi-faceted Lissy. Will Nick
break loyal Lissy’s heart or will she be the one woman he simply can’t walk
away from?
EXCERPT
“Hi,
Tom. Hi, Nicky. Hi, lucky ladies with Tom and Nicky,” a giggly champagne-fueled
hic-cough escaped her lips and Jenny dragged her into the rest room.
“Melissa!”
exclaimed Jenny. “The professor is a hunk. Tell me all…you called him by his
first name. Have you been out with him, or do you just know him from work?”
“Nuh,
juss from work,” slurred Lissy. “He’s a nightmare to work with, very full of
himself…not very nice at all.”
“What
about Tom? Are you still seeing him?”
“Huh—”
said Lissy “—thought he was different, but they are tarred with the same
hairbrush.”
Jenny
burst out laughing. “Oh, you are so funny with a few drinks under your belt.
You mean brush, not
hair
brush!”
Lissy
tried to be serious for a minute, and had to hang on tightly to the basin to
keep her balance. She squinted into the mirror and saw that her curls were out
of control.
“Woo…a
bit giddy,” she said. “And I’m hungry.”
Jenny
pulled a chair over and sat her down in front of the mirror. “Okay, let’s fix
you up.” She stood behind Lissy and tried to tame her curls down with her hand.
“Speaking of hairbrushes, did you bring yours, hon?”
Lissy
fumbled in her bag and tipped it out onto the bench. The contents of the bag
rolled around and fell over the edge, just as the two glamorous women who were
with Tom and Nick entered the restroom. She dived to the floor to catch
lipstick, brushes, keys, and coins as they hit the floor.
“Oh,
hello,” she said giggling. “Your legs match the rest of you.”
