Book 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
Streams of sunlight poured through the windows,
warming and waking me up earlier than I would have on my usual sleep schedule.
Before looking, I sensed I was alone. When I turned, I squinted at the clock on
the nightstand next to where Hudson should have been sleeping.
Nine-twenty-seven.
I blinked several times, adjusting my eyes, while I considered whether I wanted to get up and search for my lover or roll over and go back to sleep. I still hadn’t made a decision when the doors opened to the bedroom and Hudson appeared wearing nothing but black silk pajama bottoms and carrying a breakfast tray.
“Good, you’re awake,” he said as I sat up, the smell of coffee luring me further out of sleep. “I’m showing my family what an awesome boyfriend I am by bringing you breakfast in bed. Omelets. Sans mushrooms, of course. No cherry-flavored blow pops.” He winked as he set the tray on the table in the sitting area.
“This is one of those inappropriate moments for a blow pop anyway. And you should have said amazingly awesome boyfriend. Breakfast in bed is the best.” Though the thing making my mouth water was the never tiresome sight of Hudson barefoot and shirtless.
“I’m not that awesome.” He left the tray and untied the string of his PJs, letting them fall to the ground, exposing his beautifully erect penis. He slid under the covers and climbed over me. “I’m going to make you eat it cold.”
Before his kiss prevented me from speech or thought I mumbled, “Cold breakfast sounds perfect.”

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.
