She wants to save the
Knights…
When
Miranda Callahan’s father, principle owner and hands-on dictator of the Georgia
Knights, has a heart attack, the responsibility to make the team an independent
success becomes solely hers. Though everyone expects her to fail in her new
role, Miranda is determined to take her team to the top and earn her father's
love and respect on the way. The only other obstacle is the League's consultant
– a secret crush from her past – the man trying to take over the team, and the
one person who can save them all.
He wants
revenge…
Lucas
Wainright is a turnaround consultant, hired by the League to save the Knights
and so many other teams – only this time it’s personal; before being ousted by
Seamus Callahan, Lucas' family had been the owners of the team. Now, he has the
perfect opportunity to regain his rightful position with the Knights, if he’s
willing to suppress his scruples and his attraction to Miranda Callahan.
Can
Miranda and Lucas let go of old grudges and hold on to their new love?
"Really? So you
think that I'll be here, ready to kiss you whenever you want?"
The smile that
crossed his face was one of pure male arrogance, confident in his own sex
appeal. "Oh yeah. No obligation here."
He stood and stalked
around the desk. Too late she realized that she'd poked the tiger and he was
deadly serious about his intentions. He swiveled her chair so she faced him,
her chair bracketed between his knees. He braced his hands on the arms,
trapping her neatly so she couldn't escape. Only she had no intention of trying
to get away. That kiss had replayed in her mind several times in the few days
since the event and she wanted to see if it was exhaustion that had made it so
great, or something else.
She tilted her head
to the side and relaxed her body, allowing a small smile to spread across her
lips. "So now you're going to prove it was a good kiss? Give it your best
shot, lover boy. Let's see what you got."
He leaned forward and
gently brushed his lips across her, lightly, as if drawing a feather across her
skin. She shivered and he chuckled, a low male sound deep in his throat. His
lips skimmed her jaw line, brief, barely whispers of a touch, designed to
tease, to taunt, to increase her desire. She moaned and went to reach for him.
"Oh no. Stay
still for this." He grabbed her hands with his, and placed them on the
arms of the chair, imprisoning them with his own.
He nudged her face up
with his nose then rewarded her with a deep kiss, soul stirring yet innocent.
After a moment, his tongue slid along the crease of her lips and she opened
them, welcoming him in. The kiss quickly turned deeper, hotter, their tongues
entwining and exploring. His mouth tasted of coffee and sweetness, like the
butter-cream frosting of cake, and she couldn't get enough of it.
Slowly, chest heaving
with exertion, he pulled back, resting his forehead on hers while they both
caught their breath.
"Still think it
was obligation?"
