Excerpt:

Markos’ hand left her chin and came to rest on her lower back, pulling her closer. Reflexively, Trish placed her hands on his chest and reveled at the silky hardness of his pecs. “You saved my life.” He cocked his head as if he was sizing her up. “You didn’t stop to think of the implications. You jumped right in.” His large hands—even the one attached to the bad arm—gripped her shoulders hard. “You could have been gravely injured.”

His face and eyes were now hard, almost scary. He tightened his grip and shook her once. “In fact, what is a foreign girl doing alone on an island halfway around the world, working the night shift and then jumping thugs? Are you that imprudent? You could have been killed!”

Trish didn’t know about killed but buzzkilled she was.

With a snappy, outward move of her hands, she extricated herself from his hold, schooling her features not to wince at the acute pain on her chest.

“Imprudent? Who did you learn your English from? Your grandmother?” she said and took a step closer. “And what would you call getting plastered—or foxed if you may—and bringing your defenses down when you clearly have unfinished business with the mob? Prudent?”

Markos scowled. “How do you know anything about my business?” His brows bunched. “And what’s foxed?”

“Hammered, plastered, wasted… how’s that for a thesaurus?”

He closed the space between them.

“What I do on my island is my own business.”

She drew herself up, bringing her nose close to his. “Whereas a foreigner, much less a foreign girl, has no such right, right?

Markos’ jaw was so clenched she thought it would shatter, but his eyes told a different story.

Now. He’ll kiss me now.

“Are you two stepping in to be treated or not?”

Two heads whipped around. The coast guard officer’s dark form cast a long shadow over the health center’s threshold.

Markos jerked his head. “Go ahead.”

She crossed her arms over her chest. “Age before beauty,” she said, smiling sweetly.

Markos eyed her for a moment and then turned and strode toward his friend.

But not before she saw the corners of his mouth go up.

That Sexy Moment in the Library #MySexySaturday #Saturday7 #MSS138

My Sexy Saturday bannerThis week’s theme for #MySexySaturday is That Sexy Moment, and it’s in the Library in this excerpt from Worth The Risk by Lyn O’Farrell.

Worth The Risk coverThis contemporary romantic comedy features Mitch Delaney, an ex-race car driver and Amanda Lloyd, a children’s librarian. In this scene, they meet in the children’s room right after Amanda has let slip with a “damn” after bumping her head while picking puzzle pieces off the floor.

Amanda Lloyd stared into a pair of roguish blue eyes and groaned silently. “I don’t usually swear in the library,” she said defensively.

“I didn’t know librarians swore at all.”

“Don’t tell anyone, but we’re not as stuffy as most people think.”

“Your secret’s safe with me.” He raised an eyebrow and grinned at her, revealing a devastating dimple.

She made a quick involuntary appraisal of the man in front of her. He was on the tall side of six feet, with a muscular chest and forearms. His black hair gleamed in the light, and his eyes were a brilliant shade of blue. Even the tiny scar between his dark brows couldn’t detract from his rugged good looks. His short-sleeved blue knit shirt stretched taut across his powerful shoulders, and his stonewashed blue jeans fit perfectly.

She had seen attractive men before, had even been engaged to one, but this one was a potent blend of detached amusement and raw sensuality. What in the world was he doing here? He looked as out of place in the children’s room as a panther in a playground, and just as dangerous. It was as if one of the stuffed animals sitting around the room had suddenly come to life and was on the prowl.

Amanda was jolted back to the present as the armload of puzzle pieces slipped out of her grasp and thudded to the floor. How much more ridiculous could she look? She knelt down and started collecting the traitorous pieces.
