Grooming Mr. Right Now

Joni Montgomery needs a guy to pretend to be her boyfriend long enough to persuade certain family members to let up on the marriage thing. Her last hope is a blind date. Carter Sullivan is tall, gorgeous and agreeable to her scheme. Perfect! He's also too tempting for Joni to resist. But a little between-the-sheets time will just make their brief charade more believable, right?

Carter believes in love at first sight. And when he meets the beautiful, sexy Joni, he falls hard and fast. Too bad she's insisting this relationship is temporary. After some steamy embraces, he's convinced she feels the same way about him . . . even if she won't admit it. Fine. He'll just tantalize her senses until she says she wants him, too!

Excerpt

It would be so easy to lean down and kiss Joni . . .

    But Carter needed answers first. "Do I make you tremble, Joni?"
    She drew in a ragged breath, but didn't answer him.
    He slid both of his hands up her arms to her shoulders, kneading away the tension there. "Because you sure as hell shake up my world."
    This time he didn't stop himself. When she turned her head away, he leaned in and kissed her neck, his lips resting against her skin as he spoke. "You've got me thinking about things . . . wanting things . . . I haven't dared think about before."
    He moved up, feathering kisses along her jaw, until he was hovering over her mouth. He pulled her closer, crushing her to him. He kissed the side of her mouth, and then her lips, nipping, licking, suckling, lavishing, attention on her sensitive mouth. "I want you," he whispered. "And I'm not going to let you pretend anymore that you don't want me."
    She let out a gasp. "Yes," she whispered.
    "Yes, what?"
    "Yes, I want you!"
