What he’ll do for love
Siobhan Gray has had it with men who view her as a stepping stone to a career with her family’s successful home-safety company. Even when a sexy stranger sweeps her onto the dance floor at a gala awards event, the twice-burned PR director vows not to let down her guard. Siobhan doesn’t count on Justin Cartwright’s persistence as he dissolves her doubts and slowly wins her trust with a passion that tempts her to believe in love again.
Justin is a man with a plan: partner with Gray Home Safety to deliver his new cutting-edge product to the market. But the tall, sensual beauty is derailing all his best intentions. Then he discovers who she really is. Now he stands to lose everything...unless he can convince Siobhan that nothing matters more than their blossoming relationship—and the future they can build together.
“Dance with me,” Justin said when another ballad came on.
Siobhan followed him back out to the dance floor and wrapped her arms around his neck.
“I’m glad they’re playing a lot of slow songs, because I like holding you in my arms.”
“I like it, too.”
A slow grin curved Justin’s lips. “Then we’ll need to do it more often.” He touched his mouth to hers.
“Every chance we get,” he whispered.
They danced through every slow song that played, and by the time he took her home, her body and mind were in a jumble.
“Thank you, again, for coming to the party with me,” she said as they stood in her entryway.
“I enjoyed myself.”
She leaned up, intending to give him a quick kiss, but as soon as their lips touched and he swept his hot tongue into her mouth, all rational thoughts went out the window. Justin deepened the kiss, thoroughly exploring every inch of her mouth.
He broke it off and rested his forehead against hers. “I’d better leave while I still can.”
Siobhan nodded, though she wasn’t sure she really wanted him to leave. He kissed her once more and slipped out the door.
She closed her eyes and leaned against it, her breathing still ragged. She hadn’t planned on meeting a man like him and didn’t know how long she would be able to keep her guard up.
I’m excited to introduce you to The Grays of Los Angeles. Nolan and DeAnna Gray have worked hard to build a legacy for their children. But their most fervent desire is for each of them to experience the joy of an enduring love.
First is Siobhan Gray, the oldest of five, dynamic PR director and a certified control freak. Spontaneous isn’t in her vocabulary...until she meets Justin Cartwright. Justin is just the man to show her how to have a little fun because, frankly, he’s forgotten, too. I thoroughly enjoyed watching them learn to balance work, fun and falling in love. I hope you do, as well.
I appreciate your emails and messages. I love hearing from you!
Baby sister Morgan Gray takes center stage next, and I can’t wait for you to see what’s in store for her. Fast cars, football and, just maybe, love.
Much love,
Sheryl
