How many times had she fantasised about kissing that mouth? Too many to count.
And there it was, right in front of her.
Her pulse kicked up another notch as the devil whispered, Kiss him, and she contemplated doing just that.
That would definitely wake him up.
But what if he rejected her advances? It would be embarrassing and awkward. For a very long time. It would probably even kill her. She’d probably die of mortification on the spot.
It would certainly be hard to come back from.
Another sinful whisper. But what if he doesn’t?
In a few short months Luke would be heading back to London, and the thought that she might never get another opportunity to show him how she felt suddenly scared her a hell of a lot more.
Screw it.
And the devil smiled.
The Heat of
the Night
Amy Andrews
When my editor approached me with the idea of doing a duet with Ally Blake last February my first reaction was, Hell, yeah! I adore Ally’s writing, and she’s just all-round fun to work with! Throw in some glorious Australian sunshine, a tropical resort and some bikinis and how could I resist? But let me tell you Ally got the raw end of the deal. I had a hectic schedule last year, and while she was planning her book for the duet—which is, OMG, knock-you-out-of-the-park fabulous!—I still had another three books to finish …
But her enthusiasm for the project and her love affair with Pinterest kept drawing me into the world of the Tropicana. When I’d finally cleared my decks I was all fired up to start.
I absolutely adored creating the world of the Tropicana Nights—an old-fashioned resort from yesteryear, when families holidayed together and entertainment was simple—with Ally. Creating Luke and Claudia was fabulous also. Two people who grew up together with the Tropicana as their playground, who both love the resort in their own ways but who clash over their polar opposite visions for its future.
I love the title of this book. THE HEAT OF THE NIGHT is very apt because—trust me—things soon get pretty fired up between these two childhood friends. They might not be able to agree on what’s good for the Tropicana, but their bodies are perilously in sync.
Ahh … those summer nights …
I hope you enjoy their tumultuous tumble into love. And if you haven’t read Ally Blake’s HER HOTTEST SUMMER YET then run out and get it! You won’t be sorry!
Love
Amy
Those Summer Nights In Crescent Cove find sun, sea and steamy nights …

AMY ANDREWS has always loved writing, and still can’t quite believe that she gets to do it for a living. Creating wonderful heroines and gorgeous heroes and telling their stories is an amazing way to pass the day. Sometimes they don’t always act as she’d like them to—but then neither do her kids, so she’s kind of used to it.
