Friends with benefits…
The Deal: Elizabeth Anders and best friend Bradley Hunt made a pact—if they were both single at thirty, they would add a “naughty benefits” package to their friendship. Now it’s time to seal the deal…and it’s going to involve much more than just a kiss!
The Dilemma: Elizabeth is all about The Career. No relationships, no complications. Still, the chance to indulge in the barely controlled lust between her and Bradley is more than she can resist. But Bradley has an agenda of his own…
The moment they touch, years of longing explode into a tempest of desire. And if they’re not careful, this “benefits” package will be the ultimate deal-breaker.
“Is there a security camera in here?”
Elizabeth looked at Bradley with surprise. “No. Only the executives have a key to this elevator. Why? What are you doing?”
“Taking the kiss I really wanted.”
The last time he’d kissed her it had been earth-shaking, and even though she was prepared, there was an initial shock that sent waves of sensation down her body. She shut her eyes, but that only intensified the feel of his mouth on hers. He put his hands on her waist and pulled her closer. For once she just forgot everything and gave in….
His hands caressed her back and then slid lower. He drew her into his body and groaned deep in his throat.
Finally, she felt the rough exhalation of his breath against the side of her cheek as he pulled his mouth from hers.
She opened her eyes and looked up into the dark green gaze of the only man she’d never been able to fit into the “just friends” category. From the moment they’d met, she’d wanted more—that made him dangerous.
Danger at eighteen looked different at thirty, and she knew he still wasn’t a safe option, but she couldn’t walk away. This time, she would take what she wanted.
Happy holidays! I hope you are ready for my new series, Holiday Heat. I had so much fun writing about these couples and can’t wait for you to read their stories.
Elizabeth Anders is focused and driven. She has always put her career first, except for one night when she watched her younger sister getting married and felt a little sorry for herself and what she was missing out on. Her best friend, Bradley, was only too happy to give her a shoulder to lean on, a kiss and a promise that if they were both still single at thirty, they’d hook up and give a relationship a chance.
To be honest, Elizabeth never expected she’d still be single by then or that she’d start having red-hot fantasies about her best friend. Suddenly she’s thirty, and the idea of bringing those fantasies to life is more than she can resist. But she’s not sure she wants more than just hot nights in Bradley’s bed…. Still, it’s almost Thanksgiving, and she’s thinking a lot about what truly matters in life, and the way she feels in Bradley’s arms makes her think he might be the one.
Thanksgiving has always been my favorite holiday. I think I love it so much because everyone gets together and there’s no pressure to buy gifts. Though I do love Christmas, too. It’s just that at Thanksgiving I really have a chance to take time to remember all the things I’m grateful for—like my readers!
Happy Thanksgiving!

When I think of all the blessings in my life, it’s easy
for me to be grateful. I’m thankful for my wonderful

children, who remind me every day that being
a mom is truly the most rewarding thing a woman
can be, and my parents, who showed me by
example that family should always come first.
