Something to Lose

BLURB:
Everyone
has something to lose.
Camden
Piotrowski is justifiably upset to find her boyfriend in the arms of another
woman. But it’s not the end of her world and definitely not something that a
bubble bath, good wine, and cookie dough won’t help. Her pity party is
interrupted when handsome Seth Vendetti bursts into her bathroom. She soon
discovers that her world and those in it are not as they seem. Can she trust
Seth’s version of the truth and make him realize that even he has something to
lose?

Excerpt
His hands
form fists that rest on his hips. “Are you threatening an FBI agent?”
I hadn’t
really thought of it like that, but I’m not backing down. I put my hands on my
hips as well and stand on my tippy toes so that my face is close to his. I
could use those three-inch heels right about now, but I hold my ground. His
body is tight. I see his pulse beating in his neck.
“Call it what
you want. Just get out of my house.”
His hands
move behind my neck. He pulls me to him and before I even know what’s
happening, he’s kissing me and even more surprising, I’m kissing him, too. His
strong fingers move up and down my back as his lips work their magic on mine. I
thought I’d been kissed before, but never have I been kissed like this. I still
don’t see fireworks, instead I am the firework. Heat explodes from my lips down
my throat and to the rest of my body. This isn’t the warmth of fairy tales
where the prince and princess kiss their happily-ever-after. This is the battle
of the dragon and I don’t know what because my brain is no longer working.
His stubble
scratches my chin and the sensation kindles the fire even more. My stomach
lurches and I feel weightless, light as a feather now, falling from high in the
sky. His hands move to my hips and he pulls me to him tightly. He kisses my
chin and then my neck and down to the opening of my robe.
It’s like I
wake up from some out-of-body experience to find myself full of lust and
clinging to a complete stranger. His hand slips into my robe. I startle and
jump back, hugging myself with one hand, the other covering my mouth as my eyes
go wide in complete disbelief.
