THE LOOK OF LOVE
Chloe Peterson is having a bad night. A really bad night. The large bruise on her cheek can attest to that. And when her car skids off the side of a wet country road straight into a ditch, she's convinced even the gorgeous guy who rescues her in the middle of the rain storm must be too good to be true. Or is he?
As a successful photographer who frequently travels around the world, Chase Sullivan has his pick of beautiful women, and whenever he's home in San Francisco, one of his seven siblings is usually up for causing a little fun trouble. Chase thinks his life is great just as it is--until the night he finds Chloe and her totaled car on the side of the road in Napa Valley. Not only has he never met anyone so lovely, both inside and out, but he quickly realizes she has much bigger problems than her damaged car. Soon, he is willing to move mountains to love--and protect--her, but will she let him?
FROM THIS MOMENT ON
For thirty-six years, Marcus Sullivan has been the responsible older brother, stepping in to take care of his seven siblings after their father died when they were children. But when the perfectly ordered future he's planned for himself turns out to be nothing but a lie, Marcus needs one reckless night to shake free from it all.
Nicola Harding is known throughout the world by only one name - Nico - for her catchy, sensual pop songs. Only, what no one knows about the twenty-five year old singer is that her sex-kitten image is totally false. After a terrible betrayal by a man who loved fame far more than he ever loved her, she vows not to let anyone else get close enough to find out who she really is...or hurt her again. Especially not the gorgeous stranger she meets at a nightclub, even though the hunger - and the sinful promises - in his dark eyes make her want to spill all her secrets.
CAN’T HELP FALLING IN LOVE
Gabe Sullivan risks his life every day as a firefighter in San Francisco. But after learning a brutal lesson about professional boundaries, he knows better than to risk his heart to his fire victims ever again. Especially the brave mother and daughter he saved from a deadly apartment fire...and can't stop thinking about.
Megan Harris knows she owes the heroic firefighter everything for running into a burning building to save her and her seven-year-old daughter. Everything except her heart. Because after losing her navy pilot husband five years ago, she has vowed to never suffer through loving - and losing - a man with a dangerous job again.
Marcus Sullivan was known for
his patience. After helping to raise his seven siblings, he’d learned to wait
out tantrums, fistfights, even tears.
But tonight, he was all out of
patience.
He’d come to the club tonight to
find a woman, to proposition her, to claim her for one no-holds-barred night,
but he’d been watching the dancers for long enough to know that he wasn’t going
to take a single one of them to bed. None of the women who’d walked in through
the thick red curtain in the past thirty minutes had been contenders, either.
Until, suddenly, the curtain
parted…and she walked in.
Marcus felt like a fist had
slammed straight into his gut.
The woman was young,
mid-twenties probably, and so beautiful it almost hurt to look at her. Her
black leather dress left nothing to his imagination, fitting her like a second
skin with wide cut-outs that ran down the side of her insane curves.
She was the one.
As she stood in the doorway and
slowly scanned the crowd, every eye in the room was on her. She was magnetic,
had that special something that made it impossible to pull your eyes away from
her.
And then her eyes met his,
illuminated by a beam of light in the dark room, and although Marcus hadn’t
drunk nearly enough at Chase’s engagement party to be unsteady on his feet, one
look at those clear blue eyes had him fighting for balance.
What was wrong with him?
He needed to remember, at all
times, what tonight was about. Pleasure. Not emotion. Not a relationship. It
was okay for certain parts of his body below the waist to react like a match
had been lit from nothing more than looking at the woman. Everything else was off-limits.
He wasn’t looking for a woman to respect.
And he definitely wasn’t going
to fall in love.
The dangerous curves began to
shift beneath the thin layer of leather as she moved straight toward him, never
once breaking stride, even in impossibly high heels. Marcus couldn’t miss the
challenge in her gaze, a look that asked if he was man enough to handle her.
He’d always liked his women tall
and slim, not barely coming up to his chest like this one. A voice in his head
told him she was way too young for him, young enough that if this were any
other night, he’d walk away from her now.
But he wasn’t planning on
walking away from whatever this woman offered. Not until first light.
And definitely not until he’d
had his fill of those curves.

The Look of Love Excerpt
Enjoy the
following excerpt from THE LOOK OF LOVE...
Chase almost missed the flickering
light off on the right side of the two-lane country road. In the past thirty
minutes, he hadn’t passed a single car, because on a night like this, most sane
Californians—who didn’t know the first thing about driving safely in inclement
weather—stayed home.
Knowing better than to slam on the
brakes—he wouldn’t be able to help whomever was stranded on the side of the
road if he ended up stuck in the muddy ditch right next to them—Chase slowed
down enough to see that there was definitely a vehicle stuck in the ditch.
He turned his brights on to see
better in the pouring rain and realized there was a person walking along the
edge of the road about a hundred yards up ahead. Obviously hearing his car
approach, she turned to face him and he could see her long wet hair whipping
around her shoulders in his headlights.
Wondering why she wasn’t just
sitting in her car, dry and warm, calling Triple A and waiting for them to come
save her, he pulled over to the edge of his lane and got out to try and help
her. She was shivering as she watched him approach.
"Are you hurt?"
She covered her cheek with one
hand, but shook her head. "No."
He had to move closer to hear her
over the sound of the water hitting the pavement in what were rapidly becoming
hailstones. Even though he’d turned his headlights off, as his eyes quickly
adjusted to the darkness, he was able to get a better look at her face.
Something inside of Chase’s chest
clenched tight.
Despite the long, dark hair
plastered to her head and chest, regardless of the fact that looking like a drowned rat wasn’t too
far off the descriptive mark, her beauty stunned him.
In an instant, his photographer’s
eye cataloged her features. Her mouth was a little too big, her eyes a little
too wide-set on her face. She wasn’t even close to model thin, but given the
way her T-shirt and jeans stuck to her skin, he could see that she wore her lush
curves well. In the dark he couldn’t judge the exact color of her hair, but it
looked like silk, perfectly smooth and straight where it lay over her breasts.
It wasn’t until Chase heard her
say, "My car is definitely hurt, though," that he realized he had
completely lost the thread of what he’d come out here to do.
Knowing he’d been drinking her in
like he was dying of thirst, he worked to recover his balance. He could already
see he’d been right about her car. It didn’t take a mechanic like his brother,
Zach, who owned an auto shop—more like forty, but Chase had stopped counting
years ago—to see that her shitty hatchback was borderline totaled. Even if the
front bumper wasn’t half smashed to pieces by the white farm fence she’d slid
into, her bald tires weren’t going to get any traction on the mud. Not tonight,
anyway.
If her car had been in a less
precarious situation, he probably would have sent her to hang out in her car while he took care of getting it
unstuck. But one of her back tires was hanging precariously over the edge of
the ditch.
He jerked his thumb over his
shoulder. "Get in my car. We can wait there for a tow truck." He was
vaguely aware of his words coming out like an order, but the hail was starting
to sting, damn it. Both of them needed to get out of the rain before they
froze.
But the woman didn’t move. Instead,
she gave him a look that said he was a complete and utter nut-job.
"I’m not getting into your
car."
Realizing just how frightening it
must be for a lone woman to end up stuck and alone in the middle of a dark
road, Chase took a step back from her. He had to speak loudly enough for her to
hear him over the hail.
"I’m not going to attack you.
I swear I won’t do anything to hurt you."
She all but flinched at the word attack and Chase’s radar started
buzzing. He’d never been a magnet for troubled women, wasn’t the kind of guy
who thrived on fixing wounded birds. But living with two sisters for so many
years meant he could always tell when something was up.
And something was definitely up
with this woman, beyond the fact that her car was half-stuck in a muddy ditch.
Wanting to make her feel safe, he
held his hands up. "I swear on my father’s grave, I’m not going to hurt
you. It’s okay to get into my car." When she didn’t immediately say no
again, he pressed his advantage with, "I just want to help you." And
he did. More than it made sense to want to help a stranger. "Please,"
he said. "Let me help you."
She stared at him for a long
moment, hail hammering between them, around them, onto them. Chase found
himself holding his breath, waiting for her decision. It shouldn’t matter to
him what she decided.
But, for some strange reason, it
did.
