Thank

to Wish with you.

What happens when you
dare to wish?
In
an effort to regain her independence and break out of her shell, shy Eve Ward
writes a daring wish list of all the things she wants to do before her
thirtieth birthday. It’s a good thing the list is for her eyes only, because
some of the items are pretty risqué.
Adrenaline
junkie Lucas Riley becomes Eve’s “victim” in a kiss-a-stranger dare, and she
thinks he’s perfect for her one-night-with-a-stranger wish.
With
Eve, Lucas thinks he’s found the distraction he needs before he has to say
goodbye to his bad boy image. When he finds Eve’s sexy wish list, he can’t keep
himself from giving into temptation and sneaking a peek, and wish number eight
is impossible for him to resist. Being good can wait.
Eve
is thrilled when, out of the blue, Lucas offers to take her skydiving. Her sexy
stranger has helped her tick so many wishes off her secret list. Her confidence
has grown and now she’s having fun both in
and out of the bedroom. It seems too
good to be true...is it? She can’t shake the niggling suspicion that something’s
not quite right.

Excerpt
“Wait.”
Eve froze mid-turn, halted by his husky command
and the tingle radiating from his hand lightly grasping her wrist. She met his
gaze and realized how wrong she’d been. He was a million miles away from being
uncomplicated. The startling blue of his eyes revealed depths Eve could only
imagine drowning in.
“Did you say…nice?”
He leaned closer. “I would say that was a lot better than nice. I’m sure if we tried again we could
manage spectacular. Don’t you agree?” he drawled.
Maybe nice had been the wrong word to choose Eve
relented as she noted his husky tone. It was
infinitely better than nice. Try amazing!
Her breath hitched as she thought of his kiss again. Knowing he enjoyed it
too sent a surge of pleasure through her that settled deep within her belly.
Obviously she could do some things right.
If she intended to fulfill her wishes she was
going to have to find some confidence from somewhere—and fast! At the moment
her confidence seemed to be firmly in the area of her knickers.
Running and hiding now seemed out of the
question. Maybe confidence practice would be the lesser of two evils? She
paused before turning to face Mr. Hotness for confidence lesson one.
“Hmm...” She pretended to consider. “Maybe
you’re right. However, as this was a dare I’m afraid it was a one time
opportunity,” she added with mock apology. “So I guess we’ll never know.”
“You kissed me for a dare?” His brow arched.
Eve nodded. “Uh-huh. My dare was to kiss a
stranger.”
“A dare, huh? I feel so…so violated.” He
clutched his free hand to his chest in feigned hurt, although his eyes brimmed
with humor and a smile tugged at the corner of his delicious mouth.
“Don’t be offended. I did actually choose you,”
she blurted before forgetting her cool, calm, and confident aim.
“So you really thought you could violate me then
run?”
“That was my plan, yes,” she said with a
confidence she didn’t quite feel, especially as she was distracted by the thumb
lightly stroking her wrist.
“And I didn’t even try to play hard to get.
Guess you got lucky.”
“Or maybe you did,” she countered without
thought, mortified as a blush warmed her cheeks at his responding grin.
He grinned, releasing her hand. “Tell me. Do you
like to be dared?”
Her eyes widened at the loaded question. “I…I
find a challenge hard to resist.”
“Damn good thing I’m a challenge.”
Author Bio
A devourer of books from an early age, I spent much
of my childhood stepping into wardrobes, searching for that magical snowy world
where conversing with animals would be expected. When I wasn't searching for
those worlds, I wrote about them instead. My first step into the world of
romance was when I stole sneak peeks into my nana's books. I'm still in that
world and refuse to leave.
I live in Staffordshire, UK, with my husband and
three wonderful children. An avid reader and writer of romance, I strongly believe
that words make the world go around.
