Blurb
He
wants to protect her, but can she trust him with her secrets?
After
a terrifying encounter on the idyllic island of Capri, Lee Gallagher
has no option but to accept help from a handsome stranger in a
crimson Maserati. Sophisticated and drop-dead sexy, Rafe Sabbatini is
a knight in shining armour fit for the 21st century.
Lee’s
a loner, and fiercely independent. She came to Capri to paint. She’s
not looking for a relationship, and certainly not one that involves
finding herself tied to the bed of a sensual Latin lover.
But
Rafe proves hard to resist. He wants the shy English woman he found
by the roadside and he’s determined to have her. She’s been hurt.
She’s scared and alone but Rafe knows just how to get past her
fears to release the sensual woman beneath.
Rafe’s
practiced, knowing touch easily overcomes her defences and promises
to fulfil all Lee’s fantasies. But even as she surrenders to the
stern commands and dominant loving of this enigmatic stranger she has
secrets of her own, and a past which is fast catching up with her.
Can Rafe protect her when danger threatens their fragile
relationship?

Excerpt
“Tell
me what you would like, cara.”
“What?
I don’t know…”
“Yes,
you do. Or if not that, tell me what you are thinking of. Now. What
are you imagining I might do to you?”
“I…I…”
“If
you wish it to happen, you must say it. Ask me. Tell me.”
“I
want you to touch me.”
“Where
should I touch you?”
“B-between
my legs. Please.”
“You
can do better than that, cara.
English is not my first language, but I will understand if you tell
me to stroke your pussy. Or to slide my fingers inside you, inside
your hot, wet cunt and finger-fuck you. Do you want to say those
things to me, little one?”
Lee
closed her eyes, as though that might distance her from her words.
Rafe
was having none of that. “Eyes on me, Lee. Speak to me.”
Lee
returned her gaze to his and wondered how such darkness could be so
hot. His eyes burned her, demanded truth from her, would settle for
nothing less.
“I
want you to touch my pussy. And finger-fuck me, please.”
His
answering smile was dazzling. He leaned down, bracing himself on his
arms until his lips brushed hers. “Good girl,” he murmured, an
instant before his lips closed over hers.
Lee
spasmed. Helpless, restrained, she arched under him and rubbed her
erect nipples against his chest. Her inner walls convulsed and
quivered, clenching on emptiness, and she wondered if it was possible
to climax from words alone.
Mercifully,
she didn’t need to find out. Rafe propped himself on one elbow, and
his free hand slid through her folds, exploring, stroking, testing
her arousal.
“Ah,
so wet. Is this all for me, cara?”
“I…
I think it must be.”
“Are
you hot and tight, as well as wet?”
“I’m
not sure. Perhaps…”
“How
shall I discover the truth of the matter?”
Oh,
God. Does he actually mean for me to say it out loud?

What is it about those Italian men? ;^)
Sounds like another great book, Ashe.
Thank you for inviting me over to share my sexy Italian...
I think it's the opposites rule. As a very white woman, I find darker skinned men really sexy. Not Scotsmen, because my dad was from Glasgow! The accent alone makes me think of Dad, not sexy man! But if my heroine is a black or Latina woman, then the hero can be as white as my butt! LOL!
According to studies, we're actually programmed to seek out hormones of someone different from us...probably nature's way of ensuring we don't mate with our own family members.
Looks like a hot summer read!
