Sacking Austin by Lori Beth Johnson
Tara Lee
had only been looking for new brushes when she visits the art supply shop, but
when she runs into the tall, dark, and delicious football star she can't deny
the immediate attraction. Sparks fly over small talk, and she knows she's in
trouble. When a one-night stand turns into so much more, Tara is torn. If
Austin knew the truth about who she is, he'd never want her. Should she deny
her feelings and walk away, or take the chance and risk her heart?"
Excerpt:
“I had a
good time tonight,” Austin said as they walked to her building. She maintained
a two-story town home in an older neighborhood that attracted an eclectic group
of residents. Artists, musicians, and writers were everywhere, but also many
young urban executives had moved into the area.
She
leaned back against the front of her door. “You wanna come in?” Her eyes
flashed. “For coffee?”
One side
of his mouth raised and he inched toward her placing his hands on either side
of her head, resting them flat against the wood. “Coffee, huh?”
“You like
it hot, don’t you?"
Even
though he had been on the sidelines, Austin still understood how to play this
game. “Girl,” he said, his southern drawl more pronounced as he moved even
closer. “You are driving me crazy.”
She let
out a moan as he pressed against her, the large expanse of his upper abs
skimming against her breasts. She snaked a hand onto his neck. “You aren’t my
type,” she whispered as his lips neared hers.
“You
aren’t mine, either.” Before Austin could seal the kiss, Tara had turned and
slid the key into the doorknob.
“Come
on,” she said, taking his hand. “Get in here.”
