One treasure
map; a pair of priceless emeralds; two very keen hunters — only one can win,
but who says that competition can’t be a little fun?
When sweet,
pretty Ariana Noonan knocks out treasure hunter Luke Donahue with a champagne
bottle and steals his treasure map, he vows to get his map back, find the
missing priceless emeralds…and exact a fitting revenge.
When Luke
finally discovers Ariana in a dingy hotel on a remote tropical island, she’s in
desperate straits and he finally gains the upper hand. Of course he will rescue
her. His price? They act on the attraction that’s been simmering between them
from the very beginning.
But all is not
as it seems, and Luke’s sexy bargain turns up not only an unbelievable secret,
but Ariana’s reasons for wanting the emerald. Suddenly, nothing is clear-cut
anymore, and map or no map, Luke and Ariana are sailing into uncharted
territory.
Okay,
let’s see where you want to take this. Luke smiled at her again, raised an
enquiring eyebrow and waited.
‘Um,
this is a lovely place,’ she said.
‘Yes,’
he agreed, gravely, ‘it is.’
‘But
a little crowded, don’t you think?’ she purred. Luke leaned down, catching a
faint wisp of her flowery perfume as he tried to hear her words over the
squeals of the girls behind them. Then she — what did she say her name was?
Ariana, a pretty name — gave him a smile that left him in no doubt about what
she wanted. Sex and his map, which was currently resting in his coat pocket.
Well, little Ariana, that’s a big yes to the sex, but good luck with the map.
‘Definitely
too crowded. And that champagne is very ordinary. I have a nice bottle in my
room, if you’d care to share it with me.’ Always have a good bottle of
champagne in your hotel-room fridge. You never knew when it might come in
handy. That policy had served him well for many years.
Lovely
Ariana smiled the dazzling smile that had probably ripped off half a dozen men,
and put her glass down on the table. Luke placed his hand under her elbow and
guided her toward the lifts. Her skin was soft but firm. His cock was harder
than steel. He’d been treasure hunting for so long now, it had been a while
since he’d been with a woman. The added allure of payback made the idea of sex
with this cute little blonde doubly inviting.
As
they rode up to his penthouse room, Ariana’s feminine perfume filled the small
space. They stood, side by side, staring at the lift doors in silence. He had
no doubt she was thinking through her game plan, the same as he was.
Let
the games begin.
V.K. Black is from
Queensland, Australia. She loves tropical islands, snorkelling on the Barrier
Reef, good wine and hot spicy food. Amazingly, all of these appear in
Unexpected Places (published by Escape Publishing). Sadly, treasure maps and
priceless emeralds have been in short supply in her real life, so she has
written a story about them.
As well as her
action/adventure contemporary, Unexpected Places, V.K. Black has written an
erotic fantasy/sci fi called Heavenly Revenge (published by Secret Cravings)
and a World War Two historical called Lies and Seduction (published by
Cobblestone Press.) There is a unifying theme. They are all fun sexy romances,
with a handsome hero and a lovely heroine.
