HOT-WIRED
“You clean up nice, Ms Bridges.”
He leaned down and for one heart-stopping, pulse-pounding moment she was certain he was going to kiss her. There was a lambent sensuality in his eyes, in the way he bent his head. Her whole body tingled in anticipation. The air between them seemed to crackle.
He canted his head to the left, his dark hair teasing against her cheek, and sniffed delicately. She could almost feel the faint scrape of his five-o’clock shadow against her neck. She was on the verge of spontaneous combustion.
COMING ON STRONG
“I wasn’t the one who ran out on the wedding,” Mitch argued.
Belle frowned. “That’s your own damn fault,” she declared. “If you hadn’t put such an insane price on your body, we’d never have ended up in that mess.”
He was speechless. “My body?”
“I wanted sex,” Belle stated. “Simple, uncomplicated sex. But no, you had to turn it into something else. You ruined it.”
He clenched his jaw, struggling to find a response. In Belle, he thought he’d found the perfect woman. And she’d walked out on him. Well, he’d blown his chance once. He wasn’t stupid enough to blow it twice.
“You want sex?” he rasped, anger and lust deepening his voice. “Don’t worry, Belle. I’ll give you enough sex to last a lifetime…”

Thanks to Brenda Chin and Margaret Learn for helping me make this a better book.
And to Alison Kent, Julie Miller and Lori Borrill, all top-notch writers. It was great fun creating the world of Dahlia, Tennessee. Wish we could go for a visit.
And last but not least, to all the drag racers and their crews who devote endless hours to putting on a great show, especially the ORSCA folks.
Chapter 1
BEAU STILLWELL could kiss her ass. If she could ever find him, that was.
Her temper beginning to fray at the edges, Natalie Bridges silently huffed and carefully picked her way through yet another row of big pickup trucks, trailers, motor homes and some of the loudest, gaudiest souped-up cars she’d ever had the misfortune to see. Welcome to Dahlia Speedway, where big boys and their toys hurtled down a quarter-mile track to see who could go the fastest. Quite frankly, she didn’t get it.
What, or rather who, she needed to get, however, was Beauregard Stillwell. She’d called and left messages every day for two weeks with the secretary of Stillwell Construction. He’d summarily ignored them. She’d doggedly left messages on his cell and home phone. No call back.
She jumped as a car cranked next to her with a near deafening roar. Was there another wedding planner in Nashville, Tennessee, who’d go to these lengths to get the job done? Maybe, maybe not, but she was bound and determined that Caitlyn Stillwell and Cash Vickers would have the wedding of their dreams—if she could ever get Caitlyn’s brother, Beau, to cooperate.
Caitlyn and Cash had the most romantic story. Call it fate or destiny or karma, but fresh out of college with a degree in film and video, Caitlyn had lucked into shooting a music video for rising country music star Cash Vickers at an antebellum plantation outside Nashville. In a nutshell, they’d fallen in love with each other and the place during the filming. In a wildly romantic gesture, Cash had bought the plantation, Belle Terre, for him and Caitlyn. They both had their hearts set on getting married there. However, while a faintly neglected air worked for a video for “Homesick,” a song about finding where you belong and who you belonged there with, it didn’t work for a wedding. Caitlyn didn’t trust anyone with the renovations except her big brother, Beau.
Which was all good and fine, if Natalie could just get him to talk to her about the renovation schedule. In the two-week span of being СКАЧАТЬ
