Jake
Lilliard has always been a gambling man. So far, all the risks he’s taken —
like moving to San Francisco and joining Riley O’Brien & Co. — have paid
off. Now he’s ready to take the biggest risk of all: acting on his feelings for
Kyla Andrews. As a trainee in his department, she’s off limits. But as soon as
Kyla moves on to another job, he is going to make her his. He’s waited long
enough…
When
tragedy struck Kyla’s family years ago, she started playing it safe. She
doesn’t take risks with her job or her heart, and she refuses to be a cliché –
the foolish woman who falls for her sexy boss. Yet Jake is everything she has
ever wanted, and it’s impossible to resist him and his enticing kisses.
Just when it seems that the
gamble they took will pay off, Jake’s past threatens his future with Kyla. He
knows lady luck is fickle, but she’s always had a soft spot for him. He’s
hoping she won’t turn her back on him when he needs her the most…

A
Kick in the Pants
Metal
wall sconces illuminated the corridor, throwing pools of golden light
on the dark wood plank floors. A door opened a few feet ahead of her,
and Jake emerged from it. He froze when he saw her, his eyes widening
before he ambled toward her.
The
narrow corridor made her even more aware of his height and muscular
physique, and her body reacted the way it always did when got close.
Her heart began to pound, and her breathing grew shallow. Suddenly,
her throat was dry, and she swallowed thickly.
Stopping
right in front of her, he looked down into her face. His eyes caught
the light from the sconces, glimmering with a million shades of green
and gold. They dropped to her mouth before jumping back to hers.
“You’ve
got sugar on your lips,” he notified her, his voice low and
gravelly.
Without
thinking, she licked her upper lip. He moved closer, the front of his
long-sleeved dress shirt brushing against her chest. She nervously
stepped back, afraid that she might throw herself at him. He followed
until her back was against the wall. She sucked in a shaky breath,
trying not to let him see how much his nearness affected her.
“Not
there.” He touched his thumb to her lower lip, toward the corner.
“Here.”
Dropping
his head, he licked the spot where his thumb had been. She gasped,
certain that she was having yet another X-rated dream starring Jake.
When his tongue flicked along the outer edge of her upper lip, she
realized it wasn’t a dream.
“And
you’ve got some here,” he murmured, tracing her lower lip with
his tongue.
She
gripped his upper arms, his biceps rock hard under her fingers. “What
are you doing?” she breathed against his mouth.
He
drew back to stare into her eyes. “I’m not your boss anymore,
Kyla. I’m just a guy who works for the same company you do, and
lucky for me, that company doesn’t have any rules against
co-workers dating, even if they’re in the same department.”
She
barely heard a word he said because her ears were roaring with her
pulse. “What?”
He
smiled slowly, and she couldn’t tear her eyes from his mouth. She
clutched his arms tighter, wanting those lips on every part of her
body.
“I’m
not your boss anymore,” he repeated. “I have been counting the
days until … until I could …”
“Until
you could what?” she whispered.
“Until
I could be with you,” he answered hoarsely. “That’s all I want
… a chance to be with you.”
