BLURB:
Beautiful, vivacious Emma Prescott has a
love-'em-and-leave-'em reputation. Fact
is, Emma's holding off for a hero. When
she moves to a cabin at wilderness Loon Lake and meets her one neighbor biology
professor Frasier MacKenzie, he's still just another guy, even with his killer
blue eyes and body that just won't quit...until he rescues her and her Pug from
one danger after another. Then he
definitely falls into hero territory.
But the professor has no intention of filling the role of white knight
in Emma's life. All he wants is to be
rid of her and her annoying little dog so he can get on with his research. In
fact, he's ordered to get rid of them whether he wants to or not. Looks like Emma may have to go on holding off
for a hero...
Excerpt :
She floored the gas, and they took
off with a squealing of tires.
“Hey, hey!” he yelled. “Slow down! The speed
limit is 100 km. You’re heading to 130!”
“Look, I told you, I’m in a hurry!”
she exploded.
“I’ve got a ton of things to do back
at the cabin. You see,” she continued, quieting and sounding sly, “I’m having a
party tonight. I have to get ready.”
“A party? You’re having a party? At
the lake?”
Ah, man, that just about tears it.
“Actually, a bachelorette bash. One
of my teacher friends is getting married next week, and a
bunch of us decided we’d give her a
real whing-ding of a sendoff…up at my cabin where there’ll be no witnesses.
Teachers and the likes of myself have reputations to think of, you realize.”
She cast him a wicked glance.
“So there’ll be music and a lot of
noise and…”
The Professor’s blood pressure would
skyrocket when he gave him this information.
“Oh, y-e-a-h.” She dragged out the
last word.
“Couldn’t you have it somewhere
else? Like a male strip joint in town?”
“Didn’t you hear what I just said
about teachers and others of that ilk? We can’t be seen parading into one of
those places. Our superintendent would suspend every last one of us. Anyway…”
She looked over at him. “I don’t see why it should be such a big deal for you.
You don’t have to keep banker’s hours. If the noise bothers you, stay up, watch
a video, and sleep in on Sunday morning.”
“Okay, okay, but will you please
keep your eyes on the road? And slow down! There’s a speed trap somewhere
along…”
Behind them a siren wailed.
“Quick!” she ordered, pulling over
as the police cruiser rolled alongside. “Hunch over and clutch
your chest!”
