She’s rough, tough, and determined to go it alone, but Tommy knows that if he passes up this opportunity, he may regret it more than the loss of his fiancée . . .

But Tommy’s charm is seductive and she knows that she has to explore the attraction, even if it’s only for this one special night . . .

Excerpt

Tommy paused by the end of the boardwalk, staring toward the terrace where she stood with the women. As his gaze met hers, he grinned and marched right in her direction, his long legged stride eating up the distance between them.

Her stomach did a nervous flutter and she laid her hand there to calm it, but the flutter just dropped lower and added to the needy tension between her legs.

When he got to her side, he laid a hand on the small of her back, the touch somehow already familiar and incredibly possessive.

“I’m glad you stayed,” he whispered in her ear.

“Did you think I wouldn’t?” she challenged.

“I had doubts that my sexy charm had worked on you,” he confessed playfully.

She peered at him out of the corner of her eye and damn him but he was giving her that smile that did all kinds of things to her insides. His actions dragged a chuckle from her and she elbowed him sharply to keep him in line. “If you’re trying to get me to admit that you’re charming, you’re outta luck, de Salvo.”

“I’ll just have to try harder,” he whispered and in a louder voice said to the other couples around them, “We’re all at Table Number 2. We just have one more bridal duty to finish.”

He skimmed his hand up and down her back, sending a shiver through her. “I’ll see you there, right?”

Damn if even that simple touch didn’t have her running hot again and reminding her what it was like to be alive. Even with all the stories Jase had told her about him, she barely knew anything about Tommy. But she couldn’t ignore that he was making a very obvious play for her. It was both flattering and unnerving because she couldn’t remember the last time she’d had this kind of attention.

Maybe it was time to explore that attraction, even if it was only for this one special night.

“I’ll be there, de Salvo, but don’t think it’s just because of your sexy charm.”
