Synopsis:
Savannah Deason made her workaholic status a life choice, opting out of anything resembling a relationship. Aside from the occasional bed warmer, the feisty, sarcastic executive enjoys her Gucci dreams with a champagne chaser. Until a night out on the town lands her hung over in bed with a tattooed, biker god of sin or so she labels him, anyway. But a twist of fate introduces Savannah to an ‘oh my’ god faster than her nail polish can dry.
Hexon James Montgomery is anything but normal—sexy with just enough lickable qualities to beg a saint to riot. As the third generation CEO of MK Steel, he has everything, including a piss-poor attitude upon women. Love ’em--enjoy ‘em—and then walk. Having been burned by his ex-fiancé, Hex isn’t looking for a repeat performance. Yet, Savannah aka his sarcasm princess, obliterates his single life credo until trust burns on the edge of sanity.
Excerpt:
“You
know,” he whispered, “had I known last night what I know now, I could have
persuaded you to stay this morning.”
She drew
a sharp breath, thrown off-balance by his closeness and his sexy male scent
filling more than the office. “Um…excuse me?”
He
chuckled, his hand reaching out to smooth over her hip. “You heard me,
princess--nothing like schmoozing the boss lady to get ahead...or at least a
late slip excusing my tardiness.”
Savannah
turned her dark eyes on him, attempting her death glare, but only succeeded in
drowning in his playful blue eyes. The warmth of his hand on her body made her
heart skip, traitor. “I know you did not just go there. You must either be
incredibly arrogant or completely stupid, Mr. James. Besides, last night was a
mistake, plain and simple. It’s best left forgotten, know what I
mean?”
She
heard herself say the words, but somehow her body wasn’t listening to the facts.
Her pulse leaped through her chest and up her into throat until her parched
mouth felt dryer than the Sahara Desert. Worse still, her two-timing body wanted
to jump into his arms. The verdict was in…she was definitely a hussy where he
was concerned.
He
stood, towering over her, his hand sliding around her waist, hauling her up
against his body.
Again…she
fit perfectly.
He
leaned his head just inches from her lips. “Tell me something, princess, if I
make a liar out of you…will you forgive me?”
About the Author:
My roots are in Florida, born and raised and I’m as American as the apple pie I learned to make about ten years ago. At thirteen, my family moved to Alabama and as the years turned into several, I traveled to many countries around the world, including the Middle East.
I fell 'in love' with love at a young age and continue to believe that love really does conquer all…or at least leave me blessedly happy by the end of a book. I adore alpha males…the my-way-or-the-highway-take-no-prisoners kind of heroes, especially when they screw up and land themselves in ‘hot water’ with the heroines. It’s what makes me read another romance. It’s the moment when the Hero comes to save the damsel in distress by assessing, fighting, and then saving. Tilting the romantic ink is my passion and sharing it, my desire.
