#PREORDER: B&N | iTunes

Synopsis: Gabby Morgan isnโ€™t looking for love. Not even a little romance. Following a rocky past that sheโ€™d just as soon forget, sheโ€™s determined to focus on the future. One that most certainly doesnโ€™t involve the tough-as-nails, short-on-words, hot-as-hell bikerโ€ฆor his kid.

Blake Mahone may not be done with women, but heโ€™s finished with relationships. Then Gabby Morgan enters the picture. Sheโ€™s flawless, refined, and as his kidโ€™s teacher, way out of his league. She acts like she hates him, but her eyes tell a different story. Before he knows it, Blake finds himself hot for teacher, and heโ€™s more than ready to learn all her secrets. Now all he has to do is convince her to give him a shotโ€ฆwithout getting them both killed in the process.

EXCERPT

โ€œWhat are you doing?โ€ she asked, her eyes wide on his.

โ€œGetting comfortable. Now, what did you want to talk about?โ€

โ€œWeโ€™re getting into this already?โ€

โ€œI like to have things out on the table. It makes moving forward a helluva lot easier. So do you want to start, or should I?โ€

Well, with him looming over her like he was, she was disinclined to say much of anything really. Her stomach was twisting with so many nerves, she was lightheaded. The last time anyone had made her feel anything like it, she was in the tenth grade and facing down a yearlong crush.

That was a tickle compared to what Blake made her feel.

Taking her silence as answer, Blake jumped right in. โ€œOkay, my reason for being here then.โ€ He turned to face her, his jacket creaking as he stretched his arm across the back of the sofa. โ€œI did some thinking, and I was wrong. I like having a woman in my bed more than a night. Hell, I like having a woman in my bed, period. And itโ€™s been a while since that happened.โ€

A thrill bubbled in her chest as Gabby took this in. โ€œAre you saying you changed your mind?โ€

โ€œAbout you being in my bed? Absolutely.โ€

โ€œI donโ€™t know what to say. What changed your mind?โ€

A dark smile played about his lips and his hand came up to play with her hair. โ€œThat kiss. I havenโ€™t gotten a single good nightโ€™s sleep since. Itโ€™s all I think about.โ€

โ€œMe too,โ€ she confessed.

โ€œGood, then weโ€™re in agreement?โ€

โ€œAhโ€ฆabout what, exactly.โ€

โ€œAbout you being in my bed. Not every night of course. And when I say youโ€™re in my bed, I mean my bed, Gabby, no one elseโ€™s. I donโ€™t share.โ€

โ€œOf course not,โ€ she said automatically, then frowned. โ€œI havenโ€™t even agreed to anything yet, and youโ€™re talking like itโ€™s a done deal.โ€

Moving closer, Blake slipped his fingers into her hair, cupping the back of her head and demanding her undivided attention. โ€œYouโ€™ve been thinking about me. About our kiss.โ€

Her tongue dragged over her bottom lip in answer, and his gaze latched onto the movement.

โ€œI assume you want more?โ€

She nodded, her answer coming in the form of a rapidly increasing heart rate and the inability to breathe without opening her mouth. Which only invited his delectable mouth closer.

โ€œBecause I want more, and, Gabby?โ€

โ€œHmmm?โ€

He leaned in, his mouth hovering over hers. โ€œI get what I want. Always.โ€

An invitation to his bed and an excuse to touch and be touched by him any time she wanted? Who was she to argue?
