Who
needs safe and boring when you can play with a pirate on the French
Riviera?
The answer to this curious enigma lies within the
pages of French Kiss Naughty Ladies of Nice Book 4.
Dr. Henri Bernier is an analytical man with a quiet life and
a job he loves. The last thing he expects to find when he anchors his treasured
fishing boat in the sheltered harbor of a small island is an accidental mermaid
washed ashore. He soon learns his perfect life leaves much to be desired.
Will desire save them or drown them in a perfect storm from
their pasts?
EXCERPT
Warm tingles started low in her belly and zinged straight to
her clit. A sensation she’d long missed but not forgotten. His lips were
strong, supple, and teasing her own apart. Rachel opened her mouth and glided her
tongue along his lips, loving the salty taste. The rasp of his beard on her
tender cheek shot a jolt of electricity to the tips of her pebbled nipples. Her
muscles tightened as moisture filled her panties. She was alive and wanted
more. Somehow she found the energy to lace an arm around the broad shoulders
leaning over her and curl her fingers in his long silky hair.
Her nipples puckered more with each stroke as he glided his
hand along her spine, continuing lower over the curve of her ass to her thigh.
Wet sand greeted her when he smoothly rolled them over. With little effort her
legs parted, welcoming her secret pirate.
Nope, make that swashbuckler. More romantic.
Shivers raced through her and he held her closer. His body
heat, a beautiful thing, shrouded them. Her breasts grew heavier, straining
against her wet shirt, as his solid erection pressed into her belly. She
wiggled closer, wanting—no, needing—to feel him inside her.
Indistinguishable sounds filled her ears. Forgotten lyrics
from an old, sweet love song? She wanted to remember, but not enough to give up
her fantasy man and the erotic glow of mystery sex.
“Mademoiselle,
s'il vous plaît. Où est la blessure? Je suis médecin et peux vous aider.”
His foreign words and rich baritone were sexy music against
her lips. He wanted her. His tender touch proved he did. Her eyelids fluttered
as he spoke.
“Mademoiselle? Mademoiselle.”
A sting smarted against her cheek.
“Oh no, Sweet Lips, I don’t do rough.” Her words came out slurred
and incoherent. “Doesn’t matter how sexy you are. Now stop hitting me before I
return the favor with my fist.”
“Wake up, mademoiselle.” He tapped her
again, more lovingly. “I asked where you are injured. I am a doctor and will
help you."
What a great dream.
Her fantasy lover had the perfect voice and was a doctor to
boot. Mom would be ecstatic. She wrinkled her nose. He could have at least
showered before his seductive appearance. Sweet Lips smelled like a cesspit.
“Dammit, Sweet Lips, this is my dream. We’re doing this my
way.” She reached for him, but before she made contact he pried open her
eyelid. “Look, man, you are not playing by fantasy rules. I get to make up the
seduction. You just do as told. Got it?”
“Mademoiselle, this is the reality. You
are très hurt and in need of immediate medical attention.
Now, s'il vous plaît, stop your prattle and answer my
questions.”
Rachel’s other eye sprang open. Her swashbuckler was
squatted and rocking back on his heels. His five o’clock was nearing ten and
his soaked clothes weren’t in much better shape than hers. No way in hell was
this mangy guy a doctor.
Her heart stopped. Literally froze in her body.
Gagnon’s man.
She inhaled deeply to slow her banging heart and edged
farther away from him toward safety. He reached for her, his expression grim.
Without thought, she pushed off with her left hand.
“Son of a bitch.” A kaleidoscope of stars
exploded before her eyes, followed by another whitecap of nausea.
“It does not appear to be broken. At the least, you have a
severe sprain.”
She sucked in a sharp breath, refusing to show weakness. “Ya
think?”
He cocked an eyebrow. Warm chocolate eyes stared straight
into hers. “Did you know, mademoiselle, some believe
sarcasm is the lowest form of humor but the highest mark of intelligence?”
“Then you’re pretty intelligent too.”
He laughed, a warm hearty sound that wrapped around her,
undermining her resolve.
“So if you’re a doctor, where’s your little black bag?”
A smile to melt an iceberg split his face. He reached behind
him, and then brought forward a worn satchel.
“Well, I’ll be dipped.” She really had to curb her
suspicions.
“ Excusez-moi, but you already were.” His full lips twitched
at the corners.
Good sense of humor.
He shrugged out of his rain slicker.
And muscular.
He draped the yellow, rubberized fabric around her
shoulders. Instant warmth.
