Ranger Erik Grady lives for the job. So when his chief at the Boston Fire
Department offers him two choices—mandated therapy for supposed PTSD or a
permanent desk job at the station, he reluctantly agrees to see a shrink. Only
this doctor is unlike anything he expected. Female and curved in all the right
places? Check. Hotter than a four-alarm fire? Check. The kind of woman that can
heat his blood in and out of bed? Check, check. And oh, yeah, he just happens
to have firsthand experience...
Of all the
men to walk into psychologist Olivia Jones' office, why did it have to be him?
Her one-night stand isn't playing by the rules of just. One. Night. She’s had
her heart broken in the past, and no way is she going there again. And now he's
blackmailing her into three dates? Well, if that's what it takes to make him
see a different therapist, fine. She can handle it. So what if the chemistry
between them is combustible? She's a professional, damn it. She'll date Mr. I'm
Too Sexy For My Bunker Pants. But it won’t end in the fun he expects.
Shit, how
much time had passed? A cursory glance at his watch told him it was now fifteen
minutes past. Gritting his teeth, Erik gave the area a wide sweep of his gaze,
searching for a stunning blonde with the face of an angel and a body made for
sin…and came up empty.
Goddamn it,
he swore that if she wasn’t here in the next—
“Looks like
you’ve been waiting a while. Did she stand you up?”
The feminine
voice came from behind and a little to the left and held a distinct amused
lilt. Relief flooded his system faster than a dose of adrenaline shot straight
into the bloodstream. Erik cracked a smile then did his best to school his
features with the help of dragging a hand over his afternoon stubble. Without
turning around or looking back at her he said, “Yeah, it’s starting to look
that way. Probably just as well, though.”
“Oh?” He felt
her take a step toward him, stopping behind his left shoulder. “Why do you say
that?”
“I think she
was only using me for my body.” She gasped dramatically, and he barely
contained his laughter. “I know,” he continued, “it shocked me, too. I thought
she liked me for the important things.”
He’d never
seen her playful side—didn’t even know she had one—and that she showed it to
him now felt like a huge fucking win. Unable to resist any longer, he turned to
face her and take her in.
“And what are
the important things?”
Erik stepped
into her until she had to lift her face to maintain eye contact with him. Then
he used a sex-roughened voice to say, “You know, like my collection of
pre-Civil War coins and freakishly extensive knowledge of Sumatran orangutans.”
Amusement
danced in her eyes, and in order to prevent breaking character, she bit the
center of her full lower lip. An act he very much wanted to do for her. “What a
coincidence,” she said, her tone a mix of seduction and innocence that had him
harder than a Halligan. “Those are two of my favorite subjects. It’s been such
a long time since anyone’s showered me with”—she peered up at him through thick
lashes — “Sumatran orangutan facts.”
Christ, even
her playful side liked to kill him. “Sweetheart, I’ll shower you with whatever
facts you want,” he said with a wink, “as long as I get to use my hands while
doing it.” Erik watched as her pupils dilated in response, filling him with
satisfaction. “You’re late.”
