ABOUT HOT WINTER NIGHTS (a standalone Heartbreaker Bay novel)
Who needs mistletoe?
Most people wouldn’t think of a bad Santa case as the perfect Christmas gift. Then again, Molly Malone, office manager at Hunt Investigations, isn’t most people, and she could really use a distraction from the fantasies she’s been having since spending the night with her very secret crush, Lucas Knight. Nothing happened, not that Lucas knows that—but Molly just wants to enjoy being a little naughty for once . . .
Whiskey and pain meds for almost-healed bullet wounds don’t mix. Lucas needs to remember that next time he’s shot on the job, which may be sooner rather than later if Molly’s brother, Joe, finds out about them. Lucas can’t believe he’s drawing a blank on his (supposedly) passionate tryst with Molly, who’s the hottest, smartest, strongest woman he’s ever known. Strong enough to kick his butt if she discovers he’s been assigned to babysit her on her first case. And hot enough to melt his cold heart this Christmas.
Excerpt:
It
took Lucas Knight longer than it should have to realize he had a woman in his
bed, but to be fair, he had a bitch of a hangover. Even worse than that, last
night was a blur, prompting him to take quick stock. One, there was a bundle of
sweet, soft curves against him. Two, his head was currently threatening to
secede from the United States Of Lucas. And three, his side hurt like … well,
like he’d been shot.
It’d been two weeks since he’d
gotten caught in some crossfire on the job and he hadn’t yet been cleared for
more than light duty – something he’d obviously managed to ignore last night
given that he was palming a nice, warm, feminine ass.
Think,
man.
Straining his brain, he remembered
taking a pain med before going to O’Riley’s Pub to meet up with some friends. A
client had been there, someone he’d recently helped save from a multi-million
dollar corporate espionage. The guy had ordered shots to toast to Lucas and …
shit. Knowing better than to mix pain meds and alcohol, he’d hesitated, but
everyone had been waiting on him, glasses hoisted in the air. Thinking just one
shot couldn’t hurt anything, he’d knocked back the drink.
Clearly, he’d been wrong and it’d
been enough to mess him up big time, something he hadn’t been in years, not
since his brother Josh had been killed. Shoving that away for another time – or
never -- Lucas cracked open one eye, but when his retina was stabbed by a
streak of sunlight glaring in through the window, he immediately slammed it
shut it again. Taking a deep breath, he told himself to suck it up and opened
both eyes this time, learning two additional facts.
He was naked and completely
uncovered.
And the woman snugged up at his side
was rolled up in his comforter like a burrito.
What. The. Hell.
