Mark Cutter has it all: a lucrative baseball career, fast cars, and faster women—and all thanks to his priceless good luck charm. At least, that's what he thinks before Lorelei Littleton shows up. Next thing he knows, he's waking up alone, the sexy brunette has vanished, and his good luck charm is gone. More than a little curious about the wicked-hot cat burglar and determined to get his property back, Mark's going to track down the thief and make her pay—big time.
Maybe Lorelei feels a tiny bit guilty for stealing Mark's good luck charm, but when it's worth $100,000 and the money could save her niece's life? She's not losing sleep over it . . . but him? Lorelei can't get the ballplayer with the bad attitude out of her head. And now he's come after her with more than just revenge in his eyes. Lorelei has a choice: turn over the charm and lose the money, or keep it and risk losing everything . . . including her heart.
******** EXCERPT ********
Mark Cutter’s smile was lightning quick, twice as wicked, and
she felt those darned butterflies in her stomach again.
“Wow. I thought only guys had cheesy pickup lines like that.
Does that one ever work for you?”
They were cheesy lines, for sure.
Velveeta-style, smooth and creamy. “You’ll have to
let me know in the morning.”
His eyebrow lifted and he took a step closer to her. The
butterflies turned into grasshoppers on crack and Lorelei had to fight the urge
to scramble backwards.
A big, warm hand cupped her chin and he said, “Is that
so?”
A tremble vibrated down her spine at his touch, but she stood
her ground. “By the way, I take my coffee with sugar.” Not that she had any
intention of being there in the morning, but that one was
true.
Heck no, she planned on being on her way home to Loveland
with the money she was going to earn tonight. And she was earning it. It
wasn’t so easy playing the tramp.
Mark tilted his head to the side and laughed
as he studied her. “Okay, Ms. Rodeo. What’s your
name?”
Lorelei took a deep breath. “I’m Fonda.”
“Fonda what?”
She looked him square in the eye and lied. “Fonda
Peters.”
His hand dropped and so did his jaw. “You’ve got to be
kidding me. You’re Fonda Peters?”
How she found the audacity to wink at him, she’d never know.
“I am tonight.”
Mark shook his head and grinned as he took a step back. His
voice sounded both exasperated and intrigued, if that was possible. “You’re too
much. Alright, you win. Get in the car, Fonda Peters. I’m taking you home
with me.”
She shot him smile and released a tiny squeal
of delight.“Oh, goodie.” Actually, she was. Such a perfect
opportunity. And it was so much better than breaking and entering—even if
she did have a key. A little more law abiding. Now all she had
to do was figure out how to swipe his good luck charm without actually sleeping
with him.
********* GUEST POST ********
What wouldn’t you do for someone you love? That’s the
question at the heart of STEALING HOME, the first in my Diamonds and Dugouts
series from Avon. Lorelei Littleton is faced with a choice that forces her to
question her moral fortitude: do something really bad to save the life
of a beloved child. What
to do? And, if she does
commit an act that’s morally wrong, does that make her a bad person—or
desperate?
You
decide.
