Bedding the Bachelors #3
September 1st, 2014
Free-spirited Lucy Conrad enjoys her friends but keeps others at a distance, especially her affluent and judgmental family…and the billionaire she once dated, Jamie Whitcomb. Despite their explosive chemistry, experience has proven she’ll never fit into his world. Charismatic Jamie enjoys work, women, and wealth. When duty demands he take over running the family business, he jumps in full-throttle; his only regret is Lucy’s refusal to take the ride with him.
Then tragedy strikes and Lucy realizes that in order to gain custody of her orphaned niece, she must prove she can fit back into the high-society world she once rejected. The solution? Accept Jamie’s make-believe marriage proposal, and be seen as the type of mother her niece deserves. Respectable. Controlled. Willing to play the game.
With her faux-fiancĂ© by her side, Lucy exchanges dirty martinis and leather for champagne and silk. But when the passion between Lucy and Jamie only grows greater, they have to make a choice: back away from each other and not get hurt…or risk everything for the kind of love money can’t buy.

Excerpt
One night. No strings attached.”
Wait—what had he
just said? Was he seriously offering a one-night stand? Offering to give her
his entire body—complete with penetration—for a night, and one night only? But
he’d held off before, so why now? Had her actions on stage finally convinced
him that she’d never fit into his life? Could it have been that easy?
She stared at him in shock but before she could respond, the
house lights went out, plunging the theater into complete darkness, and it was
too late. Way too late.
The music started and strobe lights started flashing around
the space above the seats. Even with Jamie’s shocking words bouncing around in
her head, Lucy gasped at the spectacle happening around her. Smoke and mirrors,
she reminded herself. Magic was about illusion…misdirection…mystery. The
answers were there, just shrouded in optical illusions and brilliant tricks.
But she didn’t care about the logic of the moment. No…the magic was in the
mystery. Every time a strobe light went off, it illuminated a different woman,
suspended directly over the audience. Each woman was writhing, dancing,
seemingly flying without ropes or hoops or any other means of holding them in
the air.
And their bodies… The women appeared to be wearing nothing
but glimmering, shimmering paint in various sensual colors. Lucy gasped when a
strobe light illuminated a woman suspended directly in front of her and Jamie.
The light flashed again, and the woman maneuvered her body in a way that
brought her close enough that either Lucy or Jamie could have reached out and
touched her.
For several minutes, the female bodies above them twisted and
swayed in mind-boggling, breathtaking positions. At some point, Lucy realized
she was breathing hard and that she’d somehow put her hand on Jamie’s knee.
She automatically tried to jerk her hand away.
But before she could, Jamie covered her hand with his.
One night.
No strings attached.
His offer was a temptation she couldn’t put from her mind.
It felt so good to be touching him again. He was warm and
strong and God she was getting goose bumps all over just thinking about his
hand touching other parts of her body…
He rubbed small circles on the back of her hand with his
thumb, sending jolts of electricity all the way up her arm and down her spine.
The show was enthralling, but doubly so when combined with Jamie’s touch.
He turned his hand
over, so his palm was facing up, and before she knew what was happening, she
was caressing it with feather light touches of her thumb and fingers. She had
the overwhelming urge to pick up his hand and kiss it, to run her tongue along
his lifeline…
Instead, she caressed his hand the way she wanted to caress
the rest of him. His entire body tensed when she traced between his fingers and
she could tell by the way he shifted in his seat that he was as turned on as
she was.
She couldn’t stop her mind from replacing the acrobatics of
the dancers in the show with those of hers and Jamie’s bodies, bending and
twisting and writhing as they kissed and touched one another.
Her breaths quickened and she felt so hot she knew her whole
face had to be fire engine red. The more he stroked her palm, and the more
forcefully he did it, the hotter she got.
Lucy’s world became focused on Jamie. They were in public
but also very much alone.
In the dark.
Surrounded by eroticism. Artistry. Poetry.
Magic.
