I think it is entertaining, sexy, and fun. Order your copy now.

I did provide a brief taste of it several weeks ago, but today I will share a bit more. Happy reading.
“BEDEVILED”
“This was great, Alex, I really enjoyed meeting everyone. Thank you so much for including me.”
“It was my pleasure,” he said, looking her full in the face for the first time in hours. Charlotte saw the heat flare in his eyes as they locked with hers. “Let’s get the hell out of here,” he suggested in a low, seductive voice.
They said quick goodnights. Charlotte thought they were rude, but Alex was almost dragging her out the door. He helped her into the car and sped down the driveway, tires screeching as he pulled onto the winding lakefront road heading back to the city.
They drove in silence for about a mile before Alex turned the wheel sharply left, driving into a small, public park that was deserted. He stopped the car with a jolt, spanning two parking spaces. Then, as if he hadn’t just driven like a maniac, he calmly suggested a short stroll before the drive back.
Helping Charlotte from the car, Alex kept hold of her hand as he moved, surefooted, along the beachfront path while she limped alongside in her boot. He stopped at the base of an old gnarled elm tree and pulled Charlotte toward him, holding her around the base of her spine so that she could feel the hard length of him against her.
“You look so beautiful,” he told her in a husky voice. “I have been wanting to do this all night.”
His head lowered to hers, pulling her close against him as he leaned back until all her weight was leaning on his and she had no choice but to twine her arms behind his head or the tree trunk. His lips captured her slowly, softly pressing against hers. One hand rested low, on the curve between her back and her behind. The other came up to tangle in her short hair, holding her head still as he deepened the kiss. His lips demanded response, plundering her mouth with his tongue. He tasted of expensive wine and Alex as his tongue explored the recesses of her mouth, hot and insistent. Her breasts were flattened against his rock-hard chest, her hips tight against his as he held her to him.
When he lifted his head, shadowed by moonlight behind him, Charlotte was unable to read his expression. Unsure and unsteady, she waited, catching her breath. Blood was coursing through her veins, hot and urgent. Her heart was pounding from just one kiss.
“God, I want you,” he rasped, the words torn from him, raw and insistent before he dipped his head to kiss her again. She returned the kiss, opening her lips to his insistent ones, entwining her tongue with his, increasing the pressure against his mouth as she ran her hands up into his hair. She held fast to him, feeling his hand move from her hair to the nape of her neck, down along her bare arms, tracing a pattern there with his fingers. The feel of his hands on her skin was warm, strong and sure. She had longed for his touch and now desired it everywhere.
Alex lifted his head reluctantly. “If we don’t get back in that car now,” he told her, his voice hoarse with longing, “I will not be responsible for my actions.”
He lifted her away from his body, steadied her and then hefted himself away from the tree and wrapped his arm around her shoulders to lead her back to the car. She felt bereft without the solid warmth of him hard against her. Neither of them said a word until he opened her car door and closed it again, without allowing her inside. Instead, he pushed her gently against it.
“Sorry, I can’t make it home without one more.” Alex took Charlotte’s mouth in a searing kiss that took her breath away, sucking her lower lip into his mouth then sliding his tongue over it and into the moistness of her mouth. He kissed her senseless until she would have happily made love there in the sand, and the world be damned. She wanted this man as she had never wanted anything before.
Charlotte kissed him passionately, running her hands up and down his muscular back as she tightened her hold on him, wanting to get closer, to feel his bare skin, until finally they mutually agreed to some restraint and dragged apart from one another. He kept his fingers touching her lightly until she got in the car and he closed the door behind her.
“Jeez,” he stated with a rough chuckle as he folded himself into the bucket seat, “I hope there are no cops out, cause I am planning to break speed records getting you home.
