Welcome Alannah Lynne to Romance Book Craze!
Crossing Lines Blurb
The world’s
best-stocked toy drawer can only take a gal so far. Bored with her current
assortment of vibrating, plastic pieces, Sam Wallace decides to add a new sex
toy to her collection: Kevin Mazze. The sexy Italian is more than happy to help
her live out her long-held sexual fantasies, and trusting him with her body is
easy. Trusting him with her heart, however, is not… especially when he commits
an unforgiveable sin.
Kevin Mazze
is one of the good guys. He’s spent his life always doing the right things and
making those around him happy. When he meets the woman of his dreams, at the
worst possible time, he finds himself making bad choices in the name of good
and crossing lines he never thought he would… while praying she never finds
out.
Please be
advised, “Crossing Lines” contains adult language and adult situations and is
not suitable for young readers.
Excerpt Day 2 (Continued from Harlie's Books)
A Miller Lite top peeking out of the
ice had her biting her lip, reconsidering. The water would be the smart choice,
but if she drank a beer, she’d have another excuse not to drive, at least for a
while. Better still, it might give her the courage she needed to make her move.
“Okay, you’ve convinced me,” she said,
pointing to the blue and gold cap. “I’ll take the Lite, instead.”
“Man,” Kevin said as he swiped the back
of his hand over his brow. “That was a tough sale.” He popped the top loose and
handed her the bottle. “I have plenty more in the house, so drink all you
like.”
She grinned and washed the ibuprofen
down with the beer. “This’ll do me. I’m a cheap drunk on a good day. Combined
with the drugs, if I have more than this, Michaela and I will have to crash on
your couch.”
He chewed the inside corner of his
mouth as his gaze crawled from her legs to her neck. After a quick shake of his
head and a long, long pull on his
beer, he swung his legs up on his chaise. He stretched one out in front and
bent the one closest to her to use as a prop for his forearm.
“I’ve been wondering about something.”
“My amazing athletic ability?”
His grin was quick and fleeting before
he sobered and shook his head. “Tell me about your boots.”
What?
My boobs?
What the hell was she supposed to say
about her boobs?
While she sputtered, looking for an
appropriate response, he said, “You’ve obviously had them for a while and
didn’t get them strictly for this job.”
Oh
my God. She burst into
laughter. And here she thought he’d be Mr. Smooth-moves. “That’s the most
original, and ludicrous, come-on I’ve ever heard.” She slipped her hands under
her larger-than-average boobs and gave the girls a proud little lift. “Nope, I
didn’t get them just for this job. I’ve had them since I was about eleven,
maybe twelve. I don’t remember exactly how old.”
Kevin’s mouth dropped open and his
eyebrows rose in surprised interest as his eyes followed the lift and bounce.
When the girls settled back into place, he shifted his gaze to hers with the
funniest what-the-fuck expression she’d ever seen. He blinked a few times
before his face lit up and he threw his head back, laughter pouring out of him.
After several moments of unsuccessfully trying to contain his amusement, he
took a few deep breaths and wiped his hand over his eyes.
“I think you misunderstood.”
He took another deep breath, followed
by a long draw on his bottle. After a slow exhale, he seemed satisfied he had
himself under control, so he tried again.
“Boots. B-O-O-T-S. Tell me about your
boots.”
Sam froze with her beer lodged against
her lips. “My boots?” Her high-pitched squeak echoed around the bottle as
flames licked at her neck and spread over her face.
Shit, he hadn’t been coming on to her
at all. He was talking about her work
boots. It was her gutterbrain that turned an innocent question into sexual
play. She squeezed her eyes shut and drained her beer.
“I don’t know what to say about my
boots any more than I did my boobs.” She laughed nervously. “Other than to
confirm, yes, I’ve had them for a while… although not quite as long as my
boobs. And no, I didn’t get them just for this job.”
