FORBIDDEN KISSES
Blushing Bay #1
Annie Rains
Releasing April 11th, 2017
Loveswept
For years, Jack Sawyer’s family has been running their upscale seafood business like a finely tuned machine. But every machine breaks down eventually, and suddenly Jack needs a new office manager, a new kayak launch, and a new lease on life. Then Grace Donner shows up again. She’s smart, motivated, and perfect for the manager position, but if she’s anything like her mom, she can’t be trusted. And Jack has never been able to trust himself around Grace.
Grace
hasn’t seen her former stepbrothers since their parents’ messy divorce, but she
never forgot them—especially Jack. She misses being part of the big
rambunctious Sawyer clan, and if there’s an opportunity to set things right,
she means to do it. But she can’t ignore Jack’s irresistibly kissable lips, or
the searing way he looks at her when he thinks she’s not looking. Their
chemistry is more explosive than ever. And if the Sawyers can forgive and
forget, anything is possible.
Jack reached for a folded blanket beside the cooler and laid it down on the open floor of the boat. “I know it’s not the most comfortable surface for lying back, but I thought we could look at the stars. It’s a favorite pastime of fishermen, you know.”
“Oh yeah?”
He reached
for her hand to help her lower to the floor. She held on to his tightly,
surprised at how off balanced she felt. Then they lay back together, close
enough that they touched. The soft hair on Jack’s arm resting against hers
aroused her senses.
Were they
really just going to look at the stars?
Yes, it was
all very romantic, but so was doing other things under the stars. Things she’d
been thinking about since stepping aboard.
Jack
pointed up at the sky and started to speak. Grace was tired of talking, though.
Tired of resisting what she wanted, and right now all she wanted was Jack.
Unable to
help herself, uninhibited by the wine and the romantic environment, she rolled
on top of him and crushed her mouth over his.
Judging by
the stiff protrusion that met her inner thigh, he wanted her just as much.
“Well,
hello there,” he said, smiling against her mouth.
“I’m
sorry,” she said, even though she didn’t mean it.
His hand
slid down her back and settled on her bottom, pulling her snug against him.
“I’m not. I’d decided tonight was for romance only, but I can’t think of
anything more romantic than making love to you on this boat.”
White-hot
heat tore through her. She was so hot that maybe it was time to start
stripping.
As if
reading her mind, Jack tugged the hem of her shirt up on her back and then over
her head. The rest of her clothes fell away in the wake of his needy hands
until she was tipsy and naked on the floor of his pontoon boat—on a boat ride
to nowhere in particular, except his body was promising to shoot her to the
low-hanging full moon.
