But nothing prepared Six for his new client: an innocent woman on a mission to improve thousands of lives. . . unless someone takes hers first.
CAN SHE HANDLE THE FLAMES?
Dr. Louisa North knows time is against her as she tries to create a “miracle” medical treatment for a disease with no known cure, until she creates a sample so powerful that the wrong people want to use it as a chemical weapon. At first, Six is unwilling to accept Louisa as his client. But soon he realizes that the danger is real and that there’s much more to this plain-Jane scientist…including a burning passion between them that neither of them can resist. And now that an enemy is on Louisa’s trail, Six will do whatever it takes to protect her?or die trying.

Excerpt:
Six looked tortured.
Common sense was telling her that it was best to just go back to her room and
let him work through it, which totally lined up with her usual MO of avoiding,
well, life. But for once she held her ground. “Okay, first please quit the martyr
act. We are grown-ups who had consensual sex. I’m sure you’ve done that before,
so don’t start getting weird just because it was me. Second, I’ll look at you
any way I damn well please. You didn’t care how I looked at you when I was
riding . . . well . . . you know,” she said, gesturing toward his shorts.
“Third. If the only difference between you tugging at the corner of this towel
to do something . . . urgh . . .
hot, or sexual, or something and you walking out of the bathroom without
kissing me good morning is the fact that I gave your company a check, I’ll
cancel it. I’d rather pay you to help me, but I’m sure I can find somebody else
if it’s the difference between us doing this or not.” Her knees were shaking
and her voice was loud enough that she suddenly realized if any of Six’s team
were still in the house, they’d likely heard her stumbled words. She felt pink
spread to her cheeks.
She stepped toward the
bathroom door, feeling like she was going to pass out before she made it to her
own room. Her heart was pounding, and her head was spinning.
“Lou,” Six said quietly,
his hand looping her wrist. “You like your lists? Fine. I’ll give you mine.
First, I’m not being a martyr. We can’t build a reputation as a professional
firm if I hook up with one of our first clients. Professionally, you must see
how weird that looks, no matter how badly I want to. And what kind of message
does it send to the guys who work for me? And yes. I have had sex before, lots
of it, but what we did was much more than that. So please, for both our sakes,
don’t minimize it. Just because I shouldn’t have done it doesn’t mean it wasn’t
perfect. And for the record, how you looked riding my cock—and yes, you can say
that word because, as you mentioned, we’re both grown-ups—was burned into my
memory. And third, if it was as simple as just giving into this, you’d have
been out of that towel and up on the counter with my face between your legs
before you could cry out my name. It’s just . . . Shit, Lou. I’m trying to
figure out what the right thing to do here is, and my duty wins out every
time.”

About Scarlett Cole
The tattoo across my
right hip says it all really. A Life Less Ordinary. Inked by the amazingly
talented Luke Wessman at the Wooster Street Social Club (a.k.a. New York Ink).
Why is it important? Well, it sums up my view on life. That we should all
aspire to live a life that is less boring, less predictable. Be bold, and do something
amazing. I’ve made some crazy choices. I’ve been a car maker, a consultant, and
even a senior executive at a large retailer running strategy. Born in England,
spent time in the U.S. and Japan, before ending up in Canada were I met my own,
personal hero – all six and a half feet of him. Both of us are scorpios! Yeah,
I know! Should have checked the astrological signs earlier, but somehow it
works for us. We have two amazing kids, who I either could never part with or
could easily be convinced to sell on e-bay.
I’ve wanted to be a
writer for a really long time. Check through my office cupboards or my computer
and you’ll find half written stories and character descriptions everywhere. Now
I'm getting the chance to follow that dream.
