Will the CEO be able to resist when she lays her passion on the boardroom table? Find out in this steamy office romance from Emmy Grayson.
He’s utterly off-limits…
and the only man she’s ever wanted!
Temporary assistant Evolet Grey has precisely the skills and experience to help Damon Bradford win the biggest contract in his company’s history. But she’s also maddeningly attractive and testing the iron grip the Manhattan CEO always has on his self-control…
Putting her needs first has never come easily to innocent Evolet. But she can barely think straight in her new boss’s presence! She’d be putting everything on the line by revealing the powerful attraction Damon has awoken, but would walking away from it be the biggest risk of all?
From Harlequin Presents: Escape to exotic locations where passion knows no bounds.
“Are you walking all the way home?”
“No.” She said the word slowly, as if she couldn’t believe his stupidity. “That would take me hours. I’m walking to the 68th St. station. I decided I wanted to walk through Central Park because it’s nice outside, the park looked beautiful and, oh yeah, because I wanted to.” One hand stayed clenched around the handle of her case, the other landing on her hip as her eyes narrowed. “Why a man I just met and shared one dance with needs to know all that, I have no idea. But now that you do, are you satisfied?”
Her last word rippled across his skin, rekindled the arousal she had stirred in the ballroom, then again on the sidewalk. How holding her in his arms, feeling her body lean into his with complete trust, had made him want to peel away that bulky black dress and trace his fingers over her naked skin. He had always left his previous lovers satisfied.
But with this woman, it wasn’t just courtesy mixed with male pride that had him wanting to see her lips parted on a moan of pleasure, her eyes glazed as he stroked and kissed and savored. No, it was something more primal. Not just a want, but a need.
No, he thought, I am nowhere near satisfied.
“I don’t like you walking through the park alone at night.”
“You don’t have to. Good night.”
And then she turned and walked away.
Damon stared after her, barely keeping his mouth from dropping open in surprise. No one walked away from him. Ever.
