Excerpt!
“No.” He shakes his head.
“Whew, good.” I playfully swipe the back of my hand against my forehead.
“Although, you did maul me. Of course, I didn’t mind that one bit.” He grins, his eyes lighting up as the heat rises in my cheeks.
“Oh, God,” I mutter, bringing my hands along with the smelly, dirty sandal up to cover my face.
When I peek at him over my fisted hands, Cooper smirks. “I have to get back to work,” I say, annoyed.
“So, we’re not going to talk about what happened?” he asks with amusement.
“No. I was drunk. It doesn’t count as anything. But thanks for helping me, and I hope your sister likes the necklace.”
His smile fades as he nods. “She will.”
He stares at me for an extra beat then turns and makes his way back to his bike. Instead of immediately going back inside, I stand there and watch him again because it’s just so damn easy to watch a hunky guy stride to his Harley like he has all the time in the world. He knows I’m watching him, too.
“And the answer is no!” he shouts as he turns around and puts on his sunglasses.
“No, what?” I shout in return.
“After you had your tongue down my throat and before you licked my ear, you asked if I had a tattoo on my ass.”
While, from behind me, I hear Lauren gasp, I’m mortified again, and he’s enjoying this.
Cooper swings a long, muscular leg over his bike and sits back into it like a seasoned pro. That confident posture is amplified with the Harley between his legs. He’s smiling and loving the fact that he’s shocked me.
“The answer is no,” he reiterates as he straps on his helmet.
I stand on the porch, mute and thankful he didn’t shout this in the diner or in some other crowded venue.
“And, Imogene,” he says. “I enjoyed it.”
A bombshell waitress who wants more. A former FBI agent who wants less … except for her.
Imogene Walsh has always been unapologetically confident and ruthlessly opinionated with people, particularly men. No one is spared from her unfiltered mouth, but it hasn’t seemed to deter Cooper MacKenzie. Although he is not the clean-cut, businessman type she’s always thought she should pursue, Imogene is drawn to the sexy outsider who is the hottest topic in town gossip, the fantasy heartthrob women love to speculate about.
She has spent most of her life in the little town of Hera, NY, putting her numerous forgettable relationships behind her and floundering in both her professional and personal life. Work and men—neither have gone well for her. Now it’s reached the point where she wants to stop playing it safe.
It may be time to live up to her tough reputation and take a chance on Cooper, the only man who isn’t intimidated by Imogene’s brash personality. However, it could be a thrilling ride that doesn't end well.
