Excerpt!
She moved to the range again, and his thoughts jumped to her parading back and forth in front of the bed, in a sexy dress and high heels, a come-hither look on her beautiful face.
Pressure built inside him and his jeans grew tighter in the fly, but he stifled his thoughts and continued slicing the pepper.
She had a skillet nice and hot. When she used tongs to place beef tenderloins into the searing hot pan, the delicious scents had his stomach rolling with hunger pangs.
“What are we making again?” He took the chance while her back was turned to mentally strip her. The dip of her waist and flare of her hips leading to the round curves of her ass in the leggings she’d changed into after school had his cock pushing hard at his zipper, but so did her being bare naked in his imagination.
He nearly cut off a fingertip when she suddenly turned.
“We’re making sear-roasted beef tenderloin with peppercorn cream sauce and roasted vegetables. Were you just looking at my ass?” Her lips were so damn plump, her breasts soft mounds underneath the oversized T-shirt and just waiting for his hands.
He set aside his knife. Unabashedly, he drawled, “Uh-huh.”
A flush climbed her neck and face, and her eyes grew brighter.
“You know we aren’t making it to the car to go on that drive, Arielle. If we even get through dinner without me ripping off your clothes and setting you on this counter so I can eat your pussy, it’ll be a miracle.”
A high squeaking noise came from her throat.
Yeah, that was all the invitation he needed.
Arielle Jackman grew up as an Army brat—and then she became an Army wife. Now she’s widowed and looking for something she’s never had… roots. Back in her favorite Texas town, she’s teaching middle-schoolers, and since she and her husband never had any, she considers them all her kids. But the evenings are lonely, and Arielle’s wondering if she should get out and make some friends. Then friendship finds her again, in the form of an old childhood acquaintance, Cavanagh Wraggs.
Known as a weapon of mass destruction for the Ranger Ops team, Cav is always neck-deep in danger. He hates admitting that he’s struggling to deal with the stresses of the position, especially after a strike goes sideways—and he’s responsible. As a way to take his mind off things, he volunteers at a park cleanup program, but finds another distraction in a very sexy Ms. Jackman as she bends over to pick up trash. Talk about hot for teacher. Then he recognizes the big soft brown eyes of the girl he once knew and is instantly hooked.
As things heat up and Arielle begins to let go of her past, she’s smacked in the face to learn the sweet-talkin’ muscled man is part of a special ops team. Her heart can’t take the military life a second time around, especially knowing how it could end. Now Cav is facing some harsh choices—lose the job and team he loves or the woman who makes him happier than he’s ever imagined. Maybe, just maybe, he can find a way to keep it all.
