After their stolen kiss, Remy knows there's a sexy woman hiding under that school marm charm. When fate—aka his seven-year-old—keeps putting her in his path, he decides to take it as a sign. His daughter needs a mom, and the intriguing, beautiful Sasha is perfect for the role. Not to mention their chemistry is off the charts. Unfortunately, he's set his sights on the one woman in town who has no interest in falling for another man with a badge.
Excerpt:
“I thought maybe you’d
tracked me down.” He tilted his head
and studied her, his dark-eyed gaze roaming over her.
“Absolutely not. Why
would you think that?” Great. Squeaking was not the way to sound indifferent to
his looks or charm. Nor did it say she was the one in charge. And she was,
dammit, this was her meeting.
“You have to ask?” His
gaze landed on her mouth.
Hands
at your side. Do not touch your mouth. “That kiss was…was…”
“Electric?”
“I was going to say an
aberration.” There. That would put him in his place, and they could get back to
the matter at hand.
“Aberration? Oh, I’m
hoping that means what I think it does.” He winked.
Is
he for real? “Of course not. It means—”
His wicked laugh
interrupted her and confirmed he was teasing. And relishing every minute of her
discomfort. She fisted her hands. When had she lost control of her meeting? Honestly, Sasha, how about the moment he
walked into the room? “Look, we really shouldn’t be talking about that
kiss. We need to forget it.”
He gave her a side-eye
look. “And how’s that working for you, cher?”
It’s
not.
“It’s working great. I’d had too much to drink and my behavior was…was…”
He cocked his head. “An
aberration?”
The man was impossible.
Too handsome for his own good. And if he thought calling her cher in that low sexy tone was— Oh, who the heck am I kidding? Her
panties combusted a little each time he said it.
Determined to regain
control of the situation, she stepped back, turned on her heel, grabbed the
folder off her desk, and marched to the other side of the table she’d set up
for this meeting. Taking her seat, she pointed to the child-sized chair on the
other side of the table.
He looked from her to the
chair and back to her, quirking an eyebrow. She gave him the look she used on
unruly students, the look she’d perfected her first year in the classroom.
With a sigh, he settled
his large frame—he had to be at least two or three inches over six feet—into
the pint-size chair. Look at that, it
worked. She straightened the folder so it was parallel to the edge of the
table, then made sure the pencils and ruler resting next to it were straight.
Now she could conduct her meeting…as long as she didn’t look at his mouth. Or
think about that kiss. Or…
