How can she forgive him for what he didn't do?
Photographer Izzy Cooper feels as
frozen as her pictures. Trent Palmer might be the hottest firefighter in
Templeton Cove, but she can never face him again. Not after he failed to save
her brother. But when they're forced together by a calendar shoot, the sparks
between them are undeniable.
Izzy knows it's not fair to blame
Trent for the tragedy, but opening herself up to loss again isn't something
she's prepared to do, no matter how determined Trent is to show her that pain
is part of life and that love—their love—can make any suffering bearable.
Izzy concentrated on
selecting the appropriate lens, desperately trying to dispel the images of what
Trent was doing from running through her imagination. Each image was more
pornographic than the one before. Her heart skipped as the shower abruptly
stopped, followed by his footsteps as he re-entered the studio.
She raised her head. Oh, for the love of God…
His black firefighter-issue
trousers were tucked into steel-capped boots, red suspenders dangling, leaving
his torso and chest bare. His thick, glossy hair matched the dark line running
from his navel to the waistband of those stupidly, sexy trousers. Izzy licked
her lips as her body hummed with arousal.
Mr. April…
The idea to douse Trent
in an April shower had come to her in the middle of the night. A sexily
splendid idea. She’d battled with the decision to change the design over and
over––but had kept to her creative plan. How the hell was she to know how much
his glistening skin would turn her on?
“You want me on the
sheets, right?”
“We’ll start there,
yes.”
He grinned, his eyes
dancing in such a happy and sexy way, Izzy fought to maintain every ounce of
willpower not to jump him there and then. Instead, she stepped forward and put
her eye to the camera lens, taking in more of what her mind and body had
already been exposed. Her mouth drained dry. God, he was beautiful. The
golden-bronze sheen of his skin, the hardened ridge of his wide shoulders
leading down to arms, sinewy with muscle and tendons. A body like his wasn’t
something a woman saw on a daily basis.
She took a few shots,
before pulling back and meeting his cool, green gaze. “Step toward the back a
little. That’s it. I need a bit of breathing space.”
He smiled. “Got it.”
Biting back her smile,
Izzy returned to the camera, her heart beating out of control. His voice––and
smile––were torture as she continued with her plan of slow seduction. The plan
wasn’t working in quite the way she anticipated. Trent had the benefit of being
covered in water, whereas she was burning up…everywhere.
