Doctorate in hand, Jane Ann
Summers is ready to return to the South Seas
paradise of her youth, when the director of the institute—her mother—drops a
bomb. She cannot return until she experiences more of life...a social life
Determined to waste no time,
Jane searches for a shortcut and discovers the 1Night Stand dating service. A
single night with a Dr. Gerard, geologist…and she can go home and get on with
her fascinating study of world weather trends. The only question is whether to
have sex with him…after all, it would be her first and maybe only time.
Dr. Lukas Gerard’s own field
of study has shown him some alarming trends. He believes a killer earthquake
may rattle the Western half of the United States
Maybe there is more to life
than science…for both of them.
Excerpt:
“I need to ask you something first.”
His brow furrowed, but he shrugged. “Okay.”
“Does Madame Eve know the location of your secret place?” Out there
in the dark, with the sprinkle of stars to light the black velvet night, the
reality of proceeding blindfolded into the desert with a stranger, no matter
how attractive, seemed dangerous. If the answer was no, she would ask him to
turn the car around and hope she wasn’t already too late.
“Yes,” he said, in a low voice. “She insisted.” When she still
clutched his arm, he smiled. “I understand caution, let me show you something.”
Lukas reached over her to the center console. So close, his warmth and the
clean scent of soap went to her head. Hang
on, Jane. Even if he is the cutest guy you’ve ever met, and smells so good.
He retrieved his cell phone and clicked to a text message. “Look at
this.”
I have confirmed the
location of your date and we can schedule your evening. I hope you understand
the safety of my clients is paramount, yours as well as Ms. Summers. Thank you
for your cooperation. M.E.
Reassured, Jane faced away from him. “Do it, then.” She closed her
eyes and tried not to flinch as the soft cloth covered her face. It tightened
and then his hands dropped to her shoulders.
“Okay?” His fingers rested on her collarbones, inches from her
breasts. Her eyes strained, but the several folds prevented the least bit of
starlight from entering.
“I can’t see a thing.” But she could still feel his touch moving down her arms,
past her short sleeves, and onto bare skin. The desert wind soughed; her heart
thumped in her ears. Hyperaware of the man behind her, she waited to see what
he would do next.
