Blurb/Synopsis:
Even good girls make mistakes.
Kira was shocked to meet her
boss’s handsome, long-absent son and find him even more lethal in the flesh.
He’d always been just a face in a photo - and nothing had prepared her for the
way they clashed and burned when they finally met.
Blake Carter returned to America
for a reunion with a father he hadn’t seen since he was ten. But Blake had
never bargained for falling for his father’s sexy secretary, the beautiful and
impressionable Kira Taylor…
Blake caught one glimpse of the
gorgeous beauty from across the crowded room and felt the primal taste of
desire like he’d never known. The sparks were more antagonism than attraction
on her part as they collided over differences about the way he treated his
father. But Blake had very strong persuasive skills when it came to bringing
the vulnerable Kira to bend to his carnal passions…

Author Information
Dez Burke grew up in rural Alabama and spent most summers
reading worn copies of her Grandmother's Harlequin Romances. Even as a young
girl, she noticed the absence of African American characters. So today, she
writes hot, steamy romance books featuring black women and gorgeous men of all
races.
Excerpt 1:
His eyes narrowed, smile disappearing once again. “You’re
going to come out of the tub right now; unless you want me to help you out
myself?”
Glaring at him hatefully, Kira muttered feelingly, “Damn
you, Blake.” But he merely smiled. She knew he realized she had no choice but
to give in. And the water was starting to cool uncomfortably.
He straightened, holding up the towel patiently.
Taking a deep breath, Kira rose from the water, resisting
the urge to place her arms across her nudity. Even though she knew he was
looking at her unabashedly. He wrapped the towel securely around her streaming
body and waited until she’d stepped out onto the bathmat before surprising her
by swinging her easily off her feet and into his arms, carrying her back into
the bedroom.
“Really, Blake?” she muttered, instinctively wrapping her
arms around his neck and fighting the pounding in her chest at how easily he’d
lifted her, as if she weighed little more than a bag of feathers.
In the bedroom, he placed her gently down to stand on the
thick rug and Kira instantly curled her toes into the thickness underfoot. The
room was deliciously warm by now, a beautiful June night in London. What wasn’t
great though was Blake doing the unexpected and whipping the towel off her
slightly damp body. Kira gasped.
She felt too paralyzed with shock to move. What on earth…?
“Why would you wish to deny me the pleasure of seeing your
gorgeous body, Kira?” he asked softly, head cocked to one side. He held her
gaze with almost hypnotic intensity. “You’re unbelievably beautiful and now
you’re mine.”
Kira didn’t know what to say. She felt outraged, and…well, a
bit gooey in places as she let his words wash over her. She’d sworn to herself
he’d never again get a glimpse of her without her clothes on but she couldn’t
have foreseen this scenario.
