Pro
football publicist Martha Blue has something to prove. To protect the
image of the Las Vegas Slayers—and stay employed—she has to shed
her party-girl reputation. Fast!
So no more mistakes. No further scandals. And absolutely no
falling for the one man who can give her everything she wants…and
nothing of what she needs.
Danger
and desire never mixed well for undefeated prizefighter Joaquin
Ryder. A friend of the Blue family, he's a man who knows his
boundaries…boundaries he has secretly crossed only once before. Now
that he's back in Sin City to train for the biggest fight of his
career, he can't afford to let a sexy distraction like Martha put him
against the ropes. Revisiting their sizzling past is something he
isn't willing to risk—until a steamy Yuletide encounter, where for
just one night, they'll surrender completely….

Excerpt
Joaquin’s
heart staggered, bearing the impact when he saw Martha waltz into the
study a few steps ahead of her mother.
Some
women had butts, others had asses. Martha had an ass, and it shone
under the metallic gold-green fabric that fondled her slender body as
she moved.
She
was all bronze and shimmer and curves and long limbs, scarcely
contained in a gown held together by strands of jewels.
A
meaningful, appreciative glance passed between the attorneys, and
Joaquin eyed them coldly.
Martha
arrived at the desk, set down a shopping bag. “Merry Christmas,
Pop.” She wiggled a sprig of something woven into her shiny,
slicked hair.
Mistletoe.
She’d tied mistletoe in her hair.
“Careful
of my makeup,” she warned, offering her cheek for a kiss. To the
rest of them, she said, “Excuse me, fellas, but my father insists
that I knock, so—” She rapped on his desk obnoxiously.
“All
right. All right.” Marshall’s smile appeared painful, but it was
genuine. “Go, men. Enjoy the party.”
As
the attorneys left, accepting drinks from the server waiting at his
post, Joaquin approached Martha. She stood between her parents now, a
treasure dangling out of his reach, a beauty out of his realm.
“Merry
Christmas,” Joaquin said to her, presenting the oversize candy
cane.
At
the exact moment she ventured forward, suddenly near enough to taste.
Grab
her face, lick into her mouth. Pull her close, drink her moans.
Rather
than do it and have Tem threaten castration or Marshall call him out
for a street fight, he laid the cane in her hand and murmured against
her hair, “So you won’t steal mine the next time you’re in my
ride.”
A
snort of wry laughter or a smartass remark was expected. Not
crystalline tears.
“I
need to speak with my parents.” Taking the candy, she added in the
silkiest whisper, “Tonight, if you want me, Joaquin, find me.”
It
was the sexiest proposition he’d ever heard, or the most baffling.
Either way, he left the office dazed, hard and confused.

Info
Lisa
Marie Perry encounters difficult fictional men and women on a daily
basis. She writes contemporary romance fiction with plenty of sizzle,
energy and depth. Flawed, problematic, damaged characters are
welcome. Her tales feature exciting multicultural mash-ups, sexy
guy-next-door heroes and powerful larger-than-life alphas who are
brought to their knees by the love of complicated women.
According
to Lisa Marie, an imagination is a terrible thing to ignore. So is a
good cappuccino. After years of college, customer service gigs and a
career in caregiving, she at last gave in to buying an espresso
machine and writing to her imagination’s desire. She lives in
America’s heartland and she has every intention of making the
Colorado Mountains her new stomping grounds. She drives a truck,
enjoys indie rock, collects Medieval literature, watches too many
comedies, has a not-so-secret love for lace and adores rugged men
with a little bit of nerd.
