Templeton Cove #6

Harlequin Superromance
How can
she forgive him for what he didn't do?
Photographer Izzy Cooper feels as frozen as her pictures. Trent Palmer might be the hottest firefighter in Templeton Cove, but she can never face him again. Not after he failed to save her brother. But when they're forced together by a calendar shoot, the sparks between them are undeniable.
Izzy knows it's not fair to blame Trent for the tragedy, but opening herself up to loss again isn't something she's prepared to do, no matter how determined Trent is to show her that pain is part of life and that love—their love—can make any suffering bearable.

Izzy concentrated on selecting the
appropriate lens, desperately trying to dispel the images of what Trent was
doing from running through her imagination. Each image was more pornographic
than the one before. Her heart skipped as the shower abruptly stopped, followed
by his footsteps as he re-entered the studio.
She raised her head. Oh, for the love of God…
His black firefighter-issue trousers
were tucked into steel-capped boots, red suspenders dangling, leaving his torso
and chest bare. His thick, glossy hair matched the dark line running from his
navel to the waistband of those stupidly, sexy trousers. Izzy licked her lips
as her body hummed with arousal.
Mr. April…
The idea to douse Trent in an April
shower had come to her in the middle of the night. A sexily splendid idea.
She’d battled with the decision to change the design over and over––but had
kept to her creative plan. How the hell was she to know how much his glistening
skin would turn her on?
“You want me on the sheets, right?”
“We’ll start there, yes.”
He grinned, his eyes dancing in such a
happy and sexy way, Izzy fought to maintain every ounce of willpower not to
jump him there and then. Instead, she stepped forward and put her eye to the
camera lens, taking in more of what her mind and body had already been exposed.
Her mouth drained dry. God, he was beautiful. The golden-bronze sheen of his
skin, the hardened ridge of his wide shoulders leading down to arms, sinewy
with muscle and tendons. A body like his wasn’t something a woman saw on a
daily basis.
She took a few shots, before pulling
back and meeting his cool, green gaze. “Step toward the back a little. That’s
it. I need a bit of breathing space.”
He smiled. “Got it.”
Biting back her smile, Izzy returned to
the camera, her heart beating out of control. His voice––and smile––were
torture as she continued with her plan of slow seduction. The plan wasn’t
working in quite the way she anticipated. Trent had the benefit of being
covered in water, whereas she was burning up…everywhere.
