Blurb
The door to the New York fashion world shut firmly in her face, Moriah Stanhope’s only option seems to be to return to her small-town home as a failure. At least, she would go home in disgrace, but her car was just repossessed. In front of the hottest guy she’s ever seen.
Travis Madera is supposed to hire an assistant. One with qualifications and experience. Someone who won’t be starstruck by the fact he’s a professional football player. But he never could resist a damsel in distress, especially one with all those curves.
Moriah’s been humiliated in front of guys like Travis before. But as his assistant, she has access to every moment of his day-to-day life, so surely she can stay ahead of any potential problems.
Until the past comes rushing into the present.
Excerpt
“Travis…” I whispered, half questioning-half pleading.
He jerked his hand away and sat up straight on the couch. “I’m sorry, Moriah. I didn’t even realize—”
I placed my fingers against his mouth, the heat of his breath rushing across the digits. My touch was so sudden, it surprised even me. His lips were warm and oh so kissable. My pulse hammered away against my ribs, desire blazing through me. I would have kissed him, but Travis was completely still, his face an unreadable mask.
When he didn’t react, I pulled away. I’d made a mistake, misread his touch, something. Panic turned to sheer horror. “Oh my God, I’m sorry.”
His hard exterior softened and he grabbed my hand. He sighed a bit, half-closed his eyes, then brushed his lips across the tips of my fingers in the softest kiss.
I relaxed a little.
“When you touch me, it makes me want things I can’t afford.” I offered weakly, not trusting myself to say much more.
From behind thick lashes, his eyes darkened; an intimate change of his features that spoke to me in a truly primal way. He kissed my fingertips, stroked his hand down my wrist and back up before rubbing small circles against the beat of my pulse.

Welcome to Beyond Romance, Candi! Very sensual excerpt!
I love men with tattoos. Great cover. Sounds like a book i have to read
Great sneak preview!
I have one tattoo, a Bengal tiger coming over my shoulder to a river with bamboo, always wanted another. I like well done tattoos on others & will admire them when I see them. Thanks for the great excerpt.

I've been getting inked for most of my life. I've got 12, and my oldest son asked me after the last one, "Mom, are you done mutilating yourself yet?" I snarkily informed him that I might be--or maybe not. Great excerpt. Hot men with ink are a weakness of mine. I'm not into football, but as long as the focus is on their relationship, and not on the game, I'm there!
Enjoy sports romances... I do not have any ink... too picky but have seen some gorgeous pieces on people.
Thank you all so much! Candi (Author with only a minimal number of tattoos)
Who doesn’t love an inked man? Love the cover, and the story sounds sexy as hell.
I do like sports reads.
