Blurb:
Undeniable lust and a fierce Miami storm
bring sexy strangers together at The Hotel Del Santos for a passion filled
night.
Stephanie, still reeling from a failed
marriage, needs a break from the past. She decides to take her friends' advice
and finds a perfect stranger for a night of no-strings-attached, smoking hot
sex.
Jason, a wealthy Seattle builder has the
worst luck with love. Swearing he would never allow another woman to get under
his skin, Jason decides a life of casual sex is just fine with him. While
watching Stephanie's sexy stilettos click across the lobby floor he zeros in on
his next conquest.
Cut off from the outside world, the lives
of these two strangers collide and burn with desire when stranded in the perfect
storm. Both are content with the idea of sharing a glorious one-night stand
together, that is, until they go their separate ways.
Excerpt:
Jason moved closer and spoke slowly in his silky voice. "I wonder if you might dance with me." She nodded and took his hand.
He led her to the dance floor illuminated only with candlelight and the occasional flash of lightning. Placing one hand in his and the other on his back, their bodies started out a respectable distance apart. Before long, Jason's warmth drew her in, and she couldn't ignore the electricity forming between them. Tentatively, she stepped closer and lightly rested her head against his neck. Jason took this as a cue to guide her hand up and over his shoulder. Suddenly, his strong hands urgently pulled her against his rock hard body. The force of his embrace awakened a passion that lay dormant inside her until now. Stephanie couldn't fight the fire building within her. She closed her eyes and breathed deeply, inhaling his musky scent while caressing his neck with her fingertips. Her face grazed up the side of his neck, stopping at his jawbone. Jason's touch seared her skin as his fingertips skimmed up her side to her neck and came to rest on her chin. With his thumb and finger, he guided her face upward and she opened her eyes. His smoldering gaze burned a trail down her body. Uncomfortable with the intensity of his stare, she looked away.
"Stephanie."
Her eyes shifted back to meet his gaze as he lowered his mouth and softly brushed his lips against hers, questioningly awaiting a response. Accepting his invitation, she parted her lips and moaned softly. His lips were soft and enticing. It had been a long time since she was kissed like this. She surrendered her tongue to his and felt desire fill her belly as an overwhelming passion grew by the moment. Breathlessly, she pulled away, embarrassed by her body's reaction to the kiss. She looked down and placed her forehead on his chin.
