About RAZED:
Tattoo artist Keelie Jessup can handle that someone else
has claimed the man of her dreams. She’s just not pleased with her remaining
options…
Keelie doesn’t believe in
the “perfect man.” But the men who are worth the trouble are usually taken—like
her business partner Zach Barnes. After a string of bad luck and the lost
chance with Zach, Keelie decides that maybe flying solo—and living with
suppressed desires—is the key to happiness.
As a photographer, Zane
Barnes has an eye for the human form, and his eyes can’t get enough of Keelie’s
curves. Unfortunately, Keelie is like most women—always fawning over his little
brother, Zach. Zane is about ready to give up, but then a few stolen moments at
his brother's wedding have him thinking maybe there's a chance there after all.
Now he just has to prove that the perfect man does exist...for her.
Excerpt:
Humiliation burned in her.
Rejection turned her blood
to ice while her skin shrank down about two sizes too small.
She wanted to sink into the
floorboards, turn into something thin and vaporous so she could just disappear.
Pushing against his chest,
she focused on the navy blue polo. “Then
how about you let me go, huh? My
mistake.”
The hand on her throat
didn’t move.
It should have felt
threatening.
But the feel of him
touching her just made her melt that much more…and it was now a heavy ache
inside because he—
His lips brushed her ear.
“You want to know what I
want from you?” he asked, the words velvet, stroking over her like a caress.
Keelie closed her hands
into fists to keep from reaching for him. He was messing with her. It pissed her off—and, to her disgust, it
hurt. It almost felt like a betrayal,
too, because she hadn’t expected to see this in Zane.
“Back off,” she warned,
putting an edge into her voice and preparing herself to make him back off. So what
if he had some moves on him? He hadn’t
seen her moves yet. Not really.
“I want…” He slid his hand
down from her throat, to rest on her chest, fingers spread wide where it rested
above her heart. “This.”
The simplicity of the
gesture stunned her into passivity.
She held still as he lifted
his head and stared down at her.
She blinked, not moving, as
he continued to stand there, his hand on her chest. “I want five minutes of your time…over a cup
of coffee. An hour for lunch. I want you to pick up the phone when I call,
talk with me for a while,” he said, staring into her eyes while the blue-green
of his gaze cut into her.
Then he leaned in and
pressed a hot, open-mouthed kiss to her chest, just above the neckline of her
sweater. “I want to peel your clothes
away, learn each and every one of these insanely sexy tattoos…each tattoo, and
the reason behind them. I want to know
what makes you laugh, and I want to know what makes you mad. I want to know what sort of book you’re
reading whenever I’m in the office—I’ve asked, but you always toss it down when
I walk by and you never answer me.”
His breath was a caress on
her flesh and she broke out into goosebumps.
Her heart raced in her
chest and she couldn’t even begin to understand why there was a knot in her
chest.
