Privileged
and ambitious attorney Teague Elliott is on the fast-track to getting
everything he wants. All he has to do is stay on the straight and narrow and a
high-profile political career is his for the taking. Until he wakes up naked
with a Vegas showgirl…
Risa
Clay has worked hard to put her showgirl past behind her and start fresh. But
she owes ten grand to the wrong people, and to pay off her debt, she agrees to
betray a stranger. . .but she ends up with a husband and guilty conscience.
Savvy
and determined, she double-crosses the mob, goes on the run, and turns up on
Teague’s doorstep armed with a dangerous secret, a marriage license, and the
power to ruin his well-planed future. She thought using Teague again would be
easy, but the passion that exploded between them in Vegas didn’t stay in Sin
City and betrayal is the last thing on her mind.
Now
Teague has to choose between the future he’s planned for all his life, or the
one with Risa that he can’t turn away from.

was their new “auto-buy author”, writes sizzling hot contemporary and
paranormal romance.
A
Night of Southern Comfort, her best-selling debut novel was nominated for the
RT Book Reviewers Choice Awards for Small Press and was touted by RT Book
Reviews as bringing a “fresh, modern feel to the genre while still sticking to
the things that get our adrenaline pumping — sex and danger”. When she’s not
exploring the theme of fooling around and falling in love, she’s collecting
tasty man candy, indulging in a little comic book geek love, and stalking Joe
Manganiello.

Excerpt:
“What do you want, Teague?” Risa
leaned in, brushing her lips against his with the weight of a whisper, and he
knew that in spite of his grip on her, she was the one who was in control.
“Throw out all your plans. Live in the moment, and tell me what you want. Not
for your family or the firm, but you.”
Her tongue was wet and warm against
his lips, pressing lightly until he allowed her to enter for a slow, sweet kiss
that promised him all he desired if he would just say the word. “Tell me what
you want.”
For one more night—fuck the plan.
Teague took her mouth wanting,
needing, to make her stop talking. She opened to his tongue as he swept inside
her, tasting and devouring her breath with every press of their lips. Her hair
was like a silken cord wrapped tightly around his fingers and he couldn’t tell
if he held her or if she’d captured him. Her moan, deep and low, tore him open
like an explosive blast, unleashing everything he’d kept bottled up inside him.
“You make me so goddamn crazy.” He
panted against her skin, tasting her sweet desire, soaking in her surrender.
“You live so freely, but I know you’re holding things back, pushing me away.”
He caught her lips in another kiss, swallowing her cry of passion. “But I can’t
seem to shake you loose.”
“What do you want, Teague?” She
wouldn’t let it go. Risa tracked her hands down his chest, across his stomach,
until her fingers curled around the waistband of his sweatpants. Her skin
against his belly made him gasp with its heat and electricity. His body was on
autopilot, his hips bucking forward until she responded to his silent request
with the press of her palm against the hard, aching length of him. “I’ll leave
soon and this will be over, but I’m here now. All you have to do is ask and you
can have it. Anything you want.”
“I want—” He swallowed hard,
the images of what was to come making it difficult to speak with his heart
clamoring in his chest. “I want your mouth on me.”
