hands. He was as beautiful as Jared told her he would be. Dark hair waving to his shoulders, his skin a
gorgeous golden-brown. And his eyes were green, darker than her own, a deep shade of moss. Electric. He
had his shirt off, and she could see that while he was more delicately built than Jared, he was still all
muscle, long and lean. And his chest was perfectly smooth, his skin sleek, his nipples dark. He was smiling
at them, his gaze assessing her.
Jared crossed the room in a few short strides, taking Leigh with him, her hand in his. He reached out
and pulled Matteo to his feet, his arm wrapping around his neck to pull him in close. The two men kissed,
and heat shot like lightning through Leigh s body.
Jesus.
There was something almost terrifyingly erotic about those two masculine mouths meeting. She d
never seen anything like it, this intimate caress of lips between men, not this close up. Not with Jared
holding onto her hand, as though she were a part of it.
They pulled apart, and Jared pulled Leigh closer.
This is Matteo.
Hi, Matteo. It s nice to meet you.
Matteo was smiling at her, his teeth a brilliant white in his wide, lush mouth. He really was beautiful.
He took her free hand in his, his long fingers wrapping around hers. His palm was warm, his fingertips
calloused from playing guitar. She couldn t help but imagine what those rough fingers would feel like on
her skin&
And you re Leigh. His accent was purely American, surprising her for some reason. Jared told me
his new neighbor was a beauty, but I had no idea& He turned to glance at Jared. I hope you weren t
planning on keeping her all to yourself.
That s entirely up to her.
Matteo s smile widened into a grin as he turned back to her, and she went hot all over as he gave her
hand a squeeze. I ll have to work hard to charm you then, Leigh.
She smiled back. He was charming enough already. And she understood fully that the invitation was
there, for them all to go to bed together. Would it be too much if she simply screamed yes?
Can I get you two anything? A beer?
We just came from dinner and a few margaritas. Have you eaten?
I stopped on my way from the airport. I didn t want to waste time eating once I got here. I have a
new piece I ve wanted to play for you. Do you mind, Leigh?
No, not at all. I d love to hear you play. Jared says you play beautifully.
I hope you like it. Come, sit next to me.
Matteo was still holding onto her hand. He pulled her down next to him on the dark leather sofa. Jared
sat on her other side.
Matteo began to play, his fingers fluttering over the guitar strings, making them sigh. The tempo built,
a lovely rhythm that was sensual, sexual somehow. He was watching them, Leigh and Jared both, his green
eyes gleaming, some sort of challenge in them. Or was she imagining that? He could certainly play. The
music was gorgeous, Spanish-style guitar mixed with a bit of Caribbean flavor. She turned to look at Jared,
and his gaze was on Matteo, but quickly flicked to her. He smiled, his dimple flickering in his cheek, and
he took her hand, stroking the back of it with his thumb as they listened. The music, Jared s touch, was
sending heat spiraling into her system. And Matteo s beautiful face, the intensity of his expression& What
sort of lover would he be?
When Matteo was done he set the guitar down on the floor carefully.
What do you think?
Brilliant, Jared answered.
You always say that.
It s always true.
And you, Leigh? Did you enjoy my playing?
Jared s right. That was brilliant. Gorgeous. So soulful.
Ah, I like this one, Jared, he said, lifting her hand to kiss it, his soft lips lingering.
Jared was still stroking her other hand, and he moved his palm up over her arm, stroking her shoulder.
She was shivering with need, with the sensation of the two men touching her at once. With the exquisite
anticipation of what might happen between them all.
Jared moved closer, his mouth next to her ear, until she could feel his warm breath on her cheek.
Leigh, tell me what you want.
It was a command, and yet she knew this was up to her. Knew she d be crazy to turn this opportunity
down.
I want you both.
She always got anything she wanted&

Playing with Fire, Book 3
A teenage crush on her big brother s boyfriend. It was one of the few times in her spoiled-little-sister

wedding brings Eric back into her life, as flirty and fun as ever. It never mattered to her that he s gay.
Attraction is attraction.
One illicit kiss, and their reconnection blows her mind and rekindles girlish hopes. Then he sets her
away from him and runs like hell.
Eric can t believe that a woman s touch arouses him. Not just any woman, but sweet Alexa, and he
can t help but want more. Desperate to come clean, he confesses all to his steady boyfriend, Brandon,
expecting anger. But Brandon s intrigued. He wants to meet the woman who s tied Eric up in knots. With
luck, maybe she ll relight the spark between them.
Alexa may have lost her chance with Eric, but the consolation prize a fling with him and Brandon, is
too tempting to resist. She never expected to love both men, or to secretly yearn to belong to the one who
commands her body like no other&
Enjoy the following excerpt for Scandalous:
Alexa went still at Brandon s seemingly innocent words. Well it was his tone that was innocent his
words were anything but.
Then what would you say if I told you that you could have sex with Eric, but I m part of the bargain.
Would you be interested?
