Geneva
Powers had experienced one of the worst days of her career.
She
played the corporate game every day for the past ten years and
enjoyed the life she’d built. Straddling two worlds was never easy,
but she’d done just that for many years. During the day, she was a
mild-mannered financial guru in a world of suits. But in her free
time, away from the clean-cut world of numbers, she was a Lady
Guardian. Riding her bike in the open air with the hum of the engine
underneath her, was the only time she felt free to be herself. Due to
some underhanded dealings at her office, her two worlds were about to
collide in a most glorious way.
Jamison
Reed just wanted a good burger and a cold beer.
He
was a war veteran, a businessman, and a biker all rolled into one.
The night he caught sight of the beautiful woman walking into his
favorite bar, all those labels fell to the side. At that moment, he
was simply a man. A man who wanted to claim the woman who had a body
made for loving. It was only supposed to be one night. Just enough to
get her out of his system. That small taste of her wasn’t enough
and now he wants more. When danger comes to her doorstep, he knows
there’s no one else better to protect Geneva. His need to protect
her was too great and he would let nothing come between him and his
woman.

Geneva was in awe of the man
standing in front of her. He was rough around the edges, but polished and kind all at
the same time. He had an air about him that told the story of things better
left unsaid, but he also had this kindness to him that he couldn’t fully hide.
And the way he looked at her, as if she
were the only thing that existed in the world for him, did funny things inside
her body.
She lay on the bed
naked, her clothes thrown to the side haphazardly. He, on the other hand, had
taken the time to fold his clothes neatly and methodically before setting them
on the chair. On the outside, they seemed so opposite, but she had an inkling
they were more alike than they knew. That he hadn’t batted an eye when he saw
her climb on her bike at the bar told her that her world wasn’t foreign to him.
Or maybe he just wanted to take a walk on the wild side.
“You’re so fucking
beautiful,” his whispered words broke through her solitary thoughts.
“Thank you. So are
you.” She saw the scars on his body, but that only made him that much more
attractive to her. Her gut told her he got them honestly, so she wasn’t
concerned about that. It gave him character and added to the sexiness standing
before her.
He hesitated, “No.
I’m not.” She noticed one of his hands touch a scar that crossed over his
ribcage. Noticing her gaze, gave a derisive smile, “US Army, Afghanistan.”
“And that, Reed
‘No Last Name Given,’ is why you’re beautiful.” If she hadn’t been staring at
him so closely, she would have missed the slight wince that came over his
features.
“Damn, woman, you
know exactly what I needed to hear.” He leaned down over her, pressing his bare
chest against her softer mounds. His lips touched hers and it quickly escalated
into something hot, wet and erotic. Hard to believe this was their first kiss.
Then again, it was absolutely perfect, because it was exactly what they each
needed.
