The first in a brand new contemporary romance series starring the men and women who are determined to keep the billion-dollar denim dynasty, Riley O’Brien & Co, on top, but aren’t about to let success stand in the way of love…
Amelia
Winger is a small-town girl with big dreams of becoming a successful
designer. So when she gets a gig designing accessories for denim
empire Riley O’Brien & Co., it’s a dream come true. Amelia
can handle the demanding job, but she isn’t quite prepared for sexy
CEO Quinn O’Brien. She’s doing her best to keep things
professional, but the attraction sparking between them makes it
personal. And so does the secret project she's working on behind his
back...
Quinn’s
not interested in the new accessories, but he is interested in the
woman designing them. Amelia is smart, sexy, and talented, and he
hasn’t been able to stop thinking about her since they met. Mixing
business and pleasure isn’t wise, but that doesn’t stop him from
coming up with excuses to spend time with her. He thinks he
understands the risk he’s taking when he gets involved with Amelia.
But he doesn’t know he’s risking a lot more than his heart.
Excerpt
Derrière.
Ass. Back porch. Badonkadonk. Rump. No matter what you called it, the
butt was Quinn O’Brien’s favorite part of the human body.
Yes,
he had the typical male appreciation for the female form, but truly,
most of his interest was professional. In fact, some would say it was
part of his DNA. He was the fifth generation of O’Brien to be
involved in the family business, Riley O’Brien & Co., proud
designers and manufacturers of blue jeans since 1845.
“Pay
attention to how our jeans conform to the wearer’s body, especially
the butt,” his father had schooled him and his younger brother when
they were kids. At the time, Quinn hadn’t realized scoping out
every backside within sight might cause problems, especially when he
stared just a bit too long at a crooked seam on a stranger’s rear.
And
right now, that’s exactly what he was doing—staring at a
stranger’s ass hard enough to make his eyes cross. Who could blame
him, though, since it was right at eye level above him on the
escalator? And oh, what an ass it was—high and tight, yet still
nicely rounded.
He
sighed. The woman in front of him might have a great ass, but she
wasn’t wearing Rileys. That was a big mark against her in his book.
Shifting
his gaze from her curvy backside, he reviewed the brown leather belt
encircling her slender waist. Embellished with beads and intricate
stitching, it was eye-catching, not gaudy at all.
But
it wasn’t nearly as eye-catching as the red corkscrews of hair that
fell down her back almost to her waist. They glinted with gold and
amber from the early morning sun shining through the skyscraper’s
windows. Her hair was so curly it kinked in some places, creating
sharp angles that made him want to pull on a strand just to see how
quickly it would recoil.
The
woman stepped off the escalator into the reception area of Riley
O’Brien & Co.’s global headquarters, cutting his perusal
short. Unlike most high-rises in downtown San Francisco, Riley
Plaza’s first floor was filled with retail space, including the
requisite Starbucks and a small shop that sold Riley merchandise.
From the first floor, an escalator brought visitors and employees to
the mezzanine level, where they checked in with reception or headed
to their offices.
He
pulled his gaze from the woman in just enough time to avoid tripping
over the escalator lip and crashing onto the floor. Yeah, ogling
asses could be hazardous.
As
the redhead made her way to the reception desk, Quinn held up a hand
and called out a greeting to the security guard posted by the double
doors that led to the executive offices.
“Hey,
Frank, did you see the new commercial last night?”
Riley
O’Brien & Co. had recently launched a new advertising campaign
featuring several well-known male athletes. The first commercial
highlighting Quinn’s best friend, Nick Priest, had debuted last
night during Sunday night football.
Priest
and Quinn had played football together at the University of Southern
California. While Quinn’s football career had ended when he
graduated from USC, Priest had gone pro. He was one of the best wide
receivers in the NFL, and his talent transformed every team he
joined.
“Yeah,
I saw it,” Frank answered. “If you wanted to make women all over
America lust after Priest even more than they do now, you succeeded.”
Quinn
laughed. “So, you thought Priest looked hot?”
“Hell,
no,” Frank barked. “But the wife couldn’t take her eyes off the
TV while he was on-screen.”
“Who
can blame her? She’s had to look at your ugly face for more than
thirty years. She needs a break.”
Frank
grinned and shot him the bird. “Get to work, son.”
