BLURB:
Pop star PJ Cantrell's life and career are threatened when an angry
blackmailer uncovers the truth about her hidden past. PJ knows it has to be someone
close, someone she trusts. She turns to long-time friend Gabe Sawyer for help,
but finds more than she bargained for. As she quickly discovers she wants more
from him than friendship and support, she has to wonder what he'll think of her
when he finally learns the truth.
Gabe Sawyer built a successful chain of luxury hotels by focusing on
one thing and one thing only - his work. And, he's now discovering, that just
isn't enough in life. He's loved PJ from afar, but he's never felt the time was
right for a deeper relationship. When he discovers a blackmailer is threatening
her life, everything changes as he struggles to keep her safe and end the
threat to her life and to the career she loves.

Excerpt One:
Gabe set the salad down and went about plating the burgers
and scooping heaps of mashed potatoes onto the plate. He looked down at the
heaping plate then up at PJ’s tiny frame.
“Oh, you probably can’t eat all this, can you?” he asked and
turned to scoop some of the potatoes back. He’d served her the kind of portion
he might hand to Jack or Andrew for a first round.
PJ stabbed at his hand with a fork. “Back off my potatoes,
mister,” she said and pulled the plate from his hands. “Mine,” she said,
twisting to guard the food with her body as she eyed him suspiciously. He
couldn’t help but laugh.
“Something to drink?” Gabe’s face heated. With her history
of alcohol addiction, he shouldn’t offer her anything alcoholic, he thought
quickly. Why hadn’t he considered that earlier? He had no idea how his
caretakers had stocked the fridge, and he hadn’t thought to ask for
nonalcoholic drinks. “Water? Coke? Um––” He looked toward the small fridge in
the outdoor kitchen, not sure what was there.
“Water’s great,” PJ said as she sat at one of the chairs.
She didn’t seem to notice his discomfort about what to offer her. Gabe grabbed
two bottles of water and shut the fridge with his foot. He retrieved his plate
from next to the grill and flicked a light switch with his elbow. Flames danced
to life as he lowered himself into the chair next to PJ’s.
PJ moaned again, her mouth filled with the bacon, blue
cheese concoction he’d cooked up for them and Gabe felt his whole body still.
If she didn’t knock off that adorable habit she had of moaning when something
good crossed those lips, he wouldn't make it through the week without a lot of
cold showers and hand lotion.
“It’s okay if you want to drink,” she said in between bites,
and Gabe’s first thoughts jumped to whiskey. Shots of whiskey might help him
get through this alive and moderately sane without too many fantasies…about
other ways he could make her moan, or what she might sound like when he took
her soft nipple into his mouth and made it peak under his tongue.
He shook his head instead, half in answer to her and half in
an attempt to banish thoughts of PJ’s breasts from his mind. “I’m good with
water. Burger okay?” he asked.
“More than okay. It’s amazing. Maybe that’s what you should
do now. Become a chef. Or open a chain of restaurants. World-class restaurants
with nothing but comfort food.”
Gabe laughed as PJ took another big bite and then followed
that with a forkful of mashed potatoes.
