Excerpt
“Is everything all right here?”
Startled by the deep voice behind her, Samantha turned. Only a few feet away, clad in an elegant suit with arms crossed over his impressive chest stood a man, obviously riding to her rescue. He glared at Tommy over the top of her head, and she heard his feet shuffle, as if backing up a few steps.
“Nothing wrong here, bro,” Tommy insisted. “Just a little lovers’ spat.”
The man approached Samantha and reached out to touch her arm with gentle fingers. One look into his warm brown eyes, and her heart started to beat faster. Her entire body tingled at his touch.
“Are you okay?” he asked.
She nodded, tried to speak but discovered her voice had left her.
The stranger turned to Tommy. “You should go.”
“Gladly,” Tommy spat out.
The click of heels on pavement sounded in Samantha’s ears, and she spun around to find Lana watching them. Her gaze wandered over the man who stood in a protective stance in front of Samantha, something akin to interest sparkling in her overly made up eyes.
Tommy went to Lana’s side, grabbing her by the arm. He turned to glare one last time. “Let’s go, sexy.”
“Okay, baby,” Lana said in a simpering voice.
Anger bubbled inside Samantha as she watched the two of them walk away. It wasn’t that she wanted Tommy, but the idea of being made a fool of threatened to overtake her. Damn it, she never got angry, always kept herself under control in all situations. She prided herself on her control. But this time, this moment— “Fuck you, Tommy Lawrence and your cheap little slut!”
She stood rooted to the spot, shock paralyzing her. Tommy looked like he wanted to slap her, Lana only laughed, an ugly grating sound that made Sam wince.
“Did it feel good to get that out?” Amusement threaded the stranger’s deep voice, and she glanced up and saw the hint of sparkle in his brown eyes.
Just like that, all the anger she’d felt at finding Tommy cheating on her evaporated. All she could see, all she could think about was this handsome man, watching her with heated eyes, making her shiver with delight.
