Her hands snaked up his chest, her nails making him shudder as they scraped the back of his neck then pushed through his hair. “I always wondered about this, how it would feel.”

Felt like fucking heaven to him. “And?”

“Very soft.” She arched her body tight against his. “Unlike the rest of you.”

If only she knew the truth of that statement.

Welcome, and thanks for stopping by. Today’s eight-sentence snippet is part of the Weekend Writing Warriors meme, and comes from the early pages of my May 1st release, BODY OF WORK.

The past couple weeks have been from Cassie’s POV, as she finishes her workout and drools over the handsome, ginger-haired personal trainer at the gym. (Click here for previous snippets.) In the following excerpt, we’re with the hero, Brian, later that same night.

Brian rolled to a stop on Sloane Street. He killed the engine and stared through the rain-covered window of his Jeep at the white bungalow. If he did this, if he knocked on Cassie’s door at quarter to one in the morning, there’d be no going back.

A man could only take so much. The petite brunette had caught his eye from day one. She’d been torturing him for months—chatting, teasing him with comments that made her blush, openly flirting with him while she exercised. He’d have made his move immediately if not for his stupid contract.

Which led him back to the decision at hand—to knock on her door or drive away?

Only a few more days until BODY OF WORK hits the virtual shelves! For now, you can read an excerpt or add it to Goodreads. (There’s already an ARC review up there, if you’re interested.)

This week’s snippet if from my upcoming release, BODY OF WORK, available May 1st!

Think the gym is strictly for exercising? Think again. 😉 Click here for last week’s snippet.

She grabbed the sanitizer and turned, shrieking when she face-planted into a wide expanse of chest. “Geez, you need bells on your shoes or something.” She looked up, then up some more until she got to his face. A tidy, super-short ginger beard and mustache framed sensual pink lips. Did the man ever not look delicious? Much more of this innocent contact and she might not make it out of the building before giving in to her body’s aching demands. A quickie in the ladies’ locker room—solo edition.

Blurb:

Cassie has fantasized about the ginger-haired personal trainer for months. Brian is friendly, but never more—until he appears on her doorstep and shows her how much her flirting has affected him. The more she’s with him, the more Cassie wants the fairytale, not just hot sex with the six-two hunk. She can give Brian full access to her body, but after her ex’s reaction to her explicit photography business, sharing her secrets, and her heart, isn’t an option.

Brian knows better than to break the rules. Don’t date gym members. Keep his inner beast on a leash during sex. Cassie tested his resolve on number one her first day in the gym. Shattered the second rule when he touched her. The petite pixie shares his preferences in the bedroom. She makes him laugh and love—but past mistakes haunt him, emotionally and tangibly. Cassie’s worth the price he’ll pay for breaking the rules. Now he must convince her to give him her heart.
