Blurb:
Lia
Risso walked in on her fiancé and three other women on Valentine’s Day. Two
celibate years later, her roommate creates a profile for Lia on a dating
website—without her knowledge—and sets up a date. On Valentine’s Day.
Ryan
Walsh, a self-made millionaire and libertine, refuses to commit to any one
woman. Tossed from foster home to foster home as a child, Ryan is on guard
against becoming vulnerable ever again.
One
dinner…one night of dancing and flirting with the attraction between them, puts
both Lia and Ryan in danger of heart break.
They
have a choice—open themselves to the possibility of hurt or walk away, never
knowing what might have been.
A wee tease...
A wee tease...
My
nerve endings stirred as the subtle scent of sandalwood wafted across the table
time and again. What man used sandalwood-scented soap anymore? By the cut of
his suit and the Rolex on his wrist, Ryan Walsh had money. And plenty of it.
Why no expensive cologne? The chick-lure nectar of the gods his type bathed in?
He
grinned again, and heat filled the empty place only Mr. Pink had seen or
stroked in two years. Ryan’s attention drifted to my lips and lingered as our
waiter took his time pouring our wine.
I
forced myself to breathe as my treasonous nipples pebbled, begging for
attention.
Damnation. I do not want this.
He
was too friggin’ sexy for his own good. And by his suggestive grin and the
twinkle in his eyes, he knew it too.
“Are you ready to order, Lia?”
Ryan asked, his focus staying on my face instead of dipping downward like most
men’s did.
Praying
my voice didn’t betray my arousal, I turned my attention the waiter. “I’ll have
the shrimp Fra Diavlo.”
“And for you, sir?”
Ryan
spouted off a few words in Italian, never once breaking eye contact with me.
My
lips twitched. Papa would be impressed.
When
the waiter ambled away, a smile—a real smile, not the cocky,
you-know-you-want-me ones he had offered until then—revealed straight, white
teeth. “So.”
His
low voice caressed my ears, and I pressed my thighs together. Thank God I hadn’t shaved. No doubt he had
little trouble getting women into his bed. Or their bed. Or against a wall.
Holy shit.
Here's Ryan's favorite songs...
I’m shipping up to Boston, Drop Kick
Murphys – This band is from Boston, and the song has been a favorite since I
first heard it in The Departed. It’s been sung on various parades, and overall
has been pretty much claimed as Boston’s song.
Sweet Caroline by Neil Diamond – if you’ve
ever been to Fenway Park and enjoyed the 7th inning stretch, you
know why.
Hate me by Blue October – First time I
heard this haunting song, I thought of the addict parents who ditched me and my
kid sister when we were little.
Dirty Water by The Standells – Because I
found my home in Boston.
Aerosmith hails from Boston, and pretty much
all their music kicks ass. If I had to choose just one song, it’d be Dream On.
Who doesn’t love to sing along at the top of their lungs?
