Someone’s
trying to kill Deanna, but is it the ghosts she doesn’t believe in, the rich
socialite who might be a murderess, or someone else with a beef against The
Gilroy Hotel and Resort that Deanna has just been hired to manage? The Gilroy’s owners want the ghosts, or
whoever is causing the trouble at the hotel eliminated, and they are pressuring
Deanna to do the job as quickly as possible. Harry DeVeaux, paranormal
investigator comes highly recommended to do the job and against Deanna’s better
judgment, she hires him.
Although
Deanna thinks Harry’s crazy for believing in ghosts and Harry thinks Deanna has
a closed mind to the possibilities of ghosts and they highly annoy each other,
sparks fly. Deanna can’t help but fantasize about Harry and inspired by a
romance convention visiting her hotel, writes her fantasies in a private blog
that Harry finds, hacks, and reads. Ooh la la!
Read an excerpt:
A pregnant pause rent the air as she
veiled her eyes from his view. Finally, she smoothed her skirt against her legs
and admitted, “Yes. I have very mixed feelings about you. You make me crazy the
way we argue, the way you believe in ghosts, and yet I find myself thinking
about you, fantasizing about you.”
Taking heart in the last part even if he
wasn’t sure he liked the first, he said with a lopsided grin, “You fantasize
about me much?”
As if she suddenly got bold, she sidled
up to him with a mischievous twinkle in her eyes and ran the tip of her finger
down his chest. “Aren’t my blogs proof? The question is, do you fantasize about
me?”
He wanted to scoop her into his arms and
haul her into that king size bed right now and have his wicked way. The sooner
they lost every stitch of their clothing, the better. Luckily, he’d started
packing protection since reading her blogs as he’d been thinking about
ravishing her, not that he thought he’d ever get the chance. I am right now.”
He lowered his chin, smiled lasciviously, and crooked his finger at her. “Come
here, baby.”
“I can’t believe this is real,” she said
huskily. Yet she started to move toward him.
She glided so seamlessly she seemed to
float. When she was within touching distance, he drew her into the circle of
his arms, bent his mouth and captured her lips. He teased her with his tongue,
seeking entrance to her mouth. He rocked against her, molding her curvy body to
his. She was so warm, so soft, he wanted to lose himself in her. Against her
lips he murmured, “I’m usually the one you accuse of believing in fantasy. Are
we switching places?”
“Um. Maybe. Crazy isn’t it?” She kissed
him back languidly at first, then with more fervor. She curled her arms around
his neck and let her fingers play in the hair at the nape of his neck.
While her hands went north, his traveled
south. His palms slipped from her waist to her buttocks, cupping them. Then he
crushed her to him, yearning to be one with her. “Absolutely insane.”
“We shouldn’t be doing this.” But she
didn’t try to draw away, didn’t stop rubbing against him, inciting him.
“Yes we should.” Her nipples budded
against him and she quaked. Her flesh was heated and she couldn’t stop kissing
him. If those weren’t signs she wanted him, nothing was.
He returned her kisses and let his hands
roam her body. Eager to feel her naked flesh against his, he pulled her uniform
top out of her skirt. When she didn’t protest, he lifted it over her head and
tossed it onto the chair. Her breasts were barely contained in her wispy, lacy
red bra, the large milky mounds trying to spill out.
Unable to help himself, he bent his head
and buried his face in her cleavage. He shoved one side off her aureole and
laved her burgeoning nipple with his tongue. When she moaned and craned back
her head to give him better access, he reached around and unsnapped her bra and
whisked it away across the room. She writhed against him and he cupped her
other breast in his hand.
Breathlessly, she asked, “What did you
think of my fantasy?”
“It made me really hot. I say on your next day
off we go to Miami to that nude beach and make out.”
