Subject:
Navy SEAL Petty Officer
Brody Lane
Current Status: On leave
Obstacle: The one girl who was off-limits...
Genna’s entire life has been orchestrated by her
family.
The right job. The right friends. Enough! Brody’s return offers the
promise of lust-filled pleasures. Of flesh teased and tasted. She’s not
expecting to find a soldier with distant eyes who has secluded himself from the
world. But this good girl knows exactly how to bring a bad boy back to life....
Uniformly
Hot!
The Few. The Proud. The Sexy as Hell.
Excerpt:
Brody?
She blinked, moved closer to the window in case
the porch light was casting illusions, then looked again.
Tall, sexy and gorgeous. Yep, that was Brody all right.
She scowled. What did he want?
She debated for all of three seconds before checking
to see that the lock was engaged, then jaw set, took the cream cheese back to
the mixer. When the knock came again, she flipped the mixer on high to drown it
out.
“It’s usually better to hide in another room if
you’re pretending not to be there when someone knocks.”
Genna jumped, but managed to contain her scream.
She was so proud, she gave herself a couple seconds for her heart to slow again
before turning off the mixer. Had he learned lock-picking in SEAL school? Or
was that a leftover from his badass days? Pasting on her most distant
expression, she tossed a cool expression over her shoulder.
“It’s usually better to take the hint. When
someone doesn’t answer the door it means they don’t want to see you.”
“I’ve never been good with subtleties.”
No question about that. Brody and subtle didn’t
even belong in the same sentence. Genna pulled her gaze back to the creamy
mixture in her bowl, wishing he didn’t look so good. A quick glance told her he’d
lost some of that pallor, the crisp evening air and scent of the outdoors
adding to the healthy impression.
Too bad.
She’d been imagining him wasting away with guilt,
miserable over having rejected her and pining away to nothing.
“Saw your old man tonight,” he said, letting the
door slam shut behind him. “So what’s the deal? You tell your daddy I’m being
mean to you?”
“Wow, not subtle or polite,” she said, pretending
to measure the vanilla instead of just pouring it into the bowl to give her
face time to cool off. Damn her father.
“Genna?”
Pressing her lips together, she finally turned
to him. And immediately crossed her arms
over her chest. Both to keep her hands to herself, and to hide the instant
evidence of her body’s reaction.
He was so damned sexy.
His leather jacket did nothing to disguise the
breadth of his shoulders, and instead of sweats he was in jeans tonight. Jeans
that molded nicely to his hard thighs. Whew, it was hot in here.
“Well?”
Well, what? Did he want her to say it out loud? That
he was gorgeous or that she went into instant meltdown just being in the same
room as him.
Then she replayed the conversation and grimaced.
“I didn’t say anything to my father. He was at the
meeting when the mayor asked if I’d contacted you again. I said no, my father
said never, I walked out. End of story.”
Brows furrowed, Brody stared long enough to make
her want to squirm. Then he nodded and looked around the room. His eyes got
wider as they passed from counter to tabletop to counter.
He gave a baffled shake of his head. “Do you run
your own bakery? Or are you supplying treats for the Fifth Fleet?”
Starting to get a baking complex and wondering if
she should look into a twelve-step program, Genna followed his gaze and sighed.
Then, not willing to relax her guard since the
minute she did all those schoolgirl dreams would come floating right back,
Genna gave him an arch look.
“Why are you here?”
All the way in the room now, he was peering from
tray to plate, then chose a butter pecan cookie and popped it into his mouth.
“I told you,” he said around the cookie. “Your
father came to see me.”
“And told you I said you were mean?”
“Actually he warned me to stay the hell away from
you.”
Genna closed her eyes against the humiliation. She
was twenty-seven and her father warned away guys he didn’t like. Her mother
called her three times a day and sicced emergency personnel on her if she didn’t
respond. Could her life be any more pathetic?
Forcing herself to meet his gaze again, she
offered a stiff smile and a shrug.
“Okay. So he warned you. That shouldn’t be a big
deal since according to you, you don’t want to be anywhere near me anyhow.” She
waited, but his expression didn’t change. “So I’ll ask again. Why are you here?”
“I told you. Because your father told me to stay
away.”
“Seriously? You’re here to defy my father?”
“Sure.” He shrugged. “Why not?”
Genna was pretty certain she wouldn’t have been more
shocked if he’d stripped naked and asked her to eat cookies off his body.
