Chrissie wins an interview with a
prestigious advertising agency. Fate conspires to make the day difficult. The
only bright spot, her meeting with the gorgeous Dylan Cross, but who is he, and
will their steamy attraction to each other prevent her from having the job she
so covets?
Chrissie’s
claustrophobia kicked in the second the doors closed. She shifted uneasily from
foot to foot. She hadn’t looked at the man who’d entered the elevator with her
at the last minute, but now she glanced at him. Chrissie took in the delicious
sight to her right. Tall, very dark hair, well cut, well dressed, jacket that
fit on his shoulders so that you knew he was muscled. Even in profile, his
eyelashes were long, dark fringes, and his angular jaw the stuff of romance
novels. Chrissie stared at him. Wow, he’s
gorgeous.
The elevator
stopped. Chrissie’s stomach dropped a little as it glided the last few inches
and the door slid open. The dishy guy had taken her mind off the confined
space. She smiled as she walked down the corridor to the designated office. At
the door, she realized the man was still with her. Is he having an interview too? His presence gave her a rapid
heartbeat. Shyness flooded her, as he leaned around, and opened the door. He
stood so close she felt his breath on her ear, a gentle tease. Her thighs
clenched as he turned his head to speak, his face close to hers. Dark blue eyes
held a kind expression. Kissable lips moved.
“Hi,
Chrissie Forbes, isn’t it? I’m Dylan Cross. I’m on the interview panel today.
Go ahead.”
Chrissie
could hardly breathe her reaction to this man was so strong. She opted to nod
her agreement about her identity, and accepted the invitation to go into the
room ahead of him. He’s on the panel. How
am I not going stare at him or even speak coherently? Pull yourself together.
He’s not that great. He is that great, but you’re a professional, an
independent woman. Do you want this job or not?
