EXCERPT
He shoved his
hands into his pockets and nodded across the street. “Want to stop off here?”
She barely glanced
at the coffee shop. “Sounds good.”
He found them a
table in the shade of a cottonwood and instead of sitting opposite her, sat
next to her. “We’re undercover, right?” he said, as he leaned in as though he
was about to kiss her.
Her stomach
fluttered, even though he was just doing it for show. “That’s right,” she
agreed.
“So, if I do
this…” He casually slid his arm around her shoulders. “You’re not going to knee
me in the balls, are you?”
She flattened her
sweaty palms on her thighs and refused to peek where his balls resided.
“Wouldn’t dream of it.” Shit, she sounded as though her throat was congested.
A waitress came to
their table and flipped open her notepad. “What can I get you?” Her gaze
drifted past Paris and settled on Cooper. Her perfunctory smile brightened by
about a hundred watts. Paris bit her lip to stop herself from giggling. Cooper
appeared unaware of the interest he’d stirred.
“What do you want,
babe?” He offered her a wicked grin, daring her to respond in kind. She wanted
to, but suppose the waitress recognized her voice? She slid the laminated menu
across the table and jabbed her finger at the iced chocolate.
Cooper gave their
order. “Want anything to nibble on?” His voice dripped with false innocence.
She shook her head and let out a relieved breath when the waitress finally
sauntered away.
“I don’t think we
raised any suspicions.” He wound a length of her wig around his finger. She
couldn’t feel a thing. Now, if only he was doing that to her real hair. She tried, without much
conviction, to shove that thought aside.
He’s only doing it for show. Right?
“She wasn’t
interested in me at all.” Since he was clearly comfortable with the whole
playacting aspect of their outing, she shifted closer to him on the bench until
their thighs touched. She’d have never guessed she was into masochism before,
but why else was she torturing herself this way? “She couldn’t take her eyes
off you, though.”
Was it her
imagination or did his hold around her shoulders tighten?
“Jealous, babe?”
She laughed, and
then slapped her hand across her mouth. Since nobody glanced their way, she
relaxed and patted his denim covered thigh in what she hoped was a
condescending manner. Was that even
possible?
“I don’t get
jealous, bunny.” God, his muscles were rock hard.
He tugged her
closer. That definitely wasn’t her imagination—and had she really left her hand
on his thigh? Her fingers twitched, but she still didn’t move her hand. It
wasn’t as though she was pushing boundaries. After all, her hand was nearer his
knee than his balls.

Synopsis
Every good girl loves a very bad boy...
Scarlett Ashford needs a date for her father's wedding. Only she doesn't just need a guy in a suit—she needs a bodyguard. The only problem is that Jackson Grayson is big and gorgeous and way too sexy. So much so that Scarlett's tempted to let this hot bad boy ruin her oh-so-good reputation...
Jackson doesn't do relationships and he certainly doesn't sleep with clients. Yet he can't fight their inconvenient attraction, or how badly he wants Scarlett's warm and wicked curves against his body. He wants her. Now. Even if it's just for one night, and even if walking away the next morning isn't as easy as he thought.
Besides, one hot and incredibly intense night between a bad boy and a pampered princess could never turn into something real...could it?
