Working for a celebrated photographer of lush nudes, many with BDSM themes, isn’t easy for Jodi. She’s full-figured, wholesome and longing for Mac, her bad boy boss. His shaggy hair, wicked tat and total hotness make her dream of ditching her work as his assistant to get down on her knees as his eager sub. If he’d only notice her.
Who says he hasn’t? As laid-back as they come, Mac can’t get over
how uptight Jodi is around him…like he might bite her. Not what he has in mind.
Her guileless nature and voluptuous figure do dangerous things to his
self-control.
Lucky for him a client’s request has Jodi finally yielding to her
sensual nature, because Mac’s fully prepared to dominate, demanding her
submission, delivering punishment. In other words, an erotic takeover.
True
to his word, Mac didn’t touch her in any inappropriate places while he strolled
the aisles, pulling boxes and cans off the shelves, reading the ingredients as
if he’d never done anything like this before.
Jodi
suspected he hadn’t, finding her life an adventure he’d never had to face. For
someone like him, it was a fun challenge to budget money, clip coupons, search
for all the specials. At least until it became a bore, which would happen
eventually.
Her
heart cramped at the thought that this would be their first and last grocery
trip together. Never had she wanted him more. He was so damn hot and adorable.
Like a little boy with his first puzzle, trying to put all the pieces together.
Bent
at the waist, Mac studied the store labels beneath the spaghetti sauces. Each
showed the cost-per-ounce comparison between the brands.
Two
middle-aged women reached past him for their choices. He apparently didn’t
notice.
They
stared at his luscious profile then gave Jodi the once over, dismissing her as
though she had nothing to do with him. She could read their thoughts in their
expressions—a hottie like him surely wouldn’t be with someone like
her.
Sighing,
Jodi checked the time. They’d been here forty minutes already. Mac looked as
though he could go all night at this.
“This
one,” he said, tapping the bottle of Prego. “It’s three cents cheaper than the
other—wait, I think we have a coupon.” He checked his iPhone and beamed as if
he’d just inherited Garner’s. “Fifty cents off. Awesome. I’m adding it to your
shopping cart.” He put the Prego in her basket. “Where’s the cheap wine?”
“Why?”
“We
can’t have spaghetti without booze. What kind of cook are you?”
Jodi
lifted her shoulders, her mind stuck on how he’d said “we”, as though they were
a couple…or maybe just friends. That had to be it. Mac had fun when he was with
her, just as he would with a guy, with the added bonus of sex.
“You
can’t cook?” he finally said then sighed. “Looks as if tonight’s on my
shoulders.”
“You’re
going to make a meal for us?”
“Sure.
How hard can it be? If I hit a problem, I’ll Google it on my phone or call
Joe.”
She
frowned. “Who’s Joe?”
“The
chef at Garner’s. Great guy. He can talk me through anything.”
Jodi
laughed. “You do know there are cooking instructions on the packages.”
Mac
picked up the box of spaghetti. His eyebrows lifted as he read the directions.
God,
he was beautiful when he was clueless. “Do you eat out for every meal?”
“Nope.”
He tossed the box back in her cart. “I get delivery or takeout sometimes.”
“You
don’t even have coffee at your place?”
“There’s
a Starbucks less than a mile away.” He leaned into her and murmured, “That’s
why God made them, for guys like me.”
Wow,
he really was a virgin at this. Tonight was going to be something.
BIO:
I’m an award-winning, bestselling
novelist in erotic, paranormal, contemporary and historical romance for Kensington,
Samhain Publishing, Ellora’s Cave, Siren Publishing, Booktrope, and indie. Yay! Booklist, Publisher’s Weekly, Romantic
Times and numerous online sites have praised my work, and trust me, I’m
forever grateful for that. I’ve had my books reach finals in the EPIC
competition, one title was named Book of the Year at a review site, and others
have won awards in RWA-sponsored contests. I’m actually featured in the 2012
Novel & Short Story Writer’s Market. Talk about feeling like a freaking star.
Before my writing career, I was the editor of an award–winning Midwestern
newspaper and worked in Story Direction for a Hollywood production company.
Outside of being an admitted and unrepentant chocoholic, I’ve flown a
single-engine plane (scary stuff), rewired an old house using an electricity
for dummies book, and have been known to moan like Meg Ryan in When Harry Met Sally whenever I’m eating
anything Mexican or Italian. Yeah, I like to eat (burp).

am everywhere! :-)
