Enter her new vice president, hunky Keefe Donegan with his black hair and blue eyes, and she’s a goner.<\/span><\/p>\n

Marci wears business suits to work every day, yet has a weakness for sexy lingerie. She can’t resist buying several pieces of lingerie when she visit Lavender Lace, a store run by Celtic goddess Ashlyn. Ashlyn convinces Marci to be brave and buy something new, something a man wouldn’t be able to resist.<\/span><\/p>\n

Keefe falls for Marci, despite knowing she’s leery of a relationship with an employee. It’ll take time, but will be worth it to convince her pleasure always comes before business.<\/span><\/p>\n

Excerpt:<\/em><\/p>\n

Keefe leaned forward and rested his forearms on the table. “I think you’re the only woman I’ve ever known who said she isn’t worried about calories.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Marci laughed. “I don’t worry about them when it comes to my favorite dessert. After all this food tonight, I may never fit in this dress again.”<\/span><\/p>\n

“You fit in it perfectly.” His gaze dipped to her breasts a moment. “You’re a very lovely woman, Marci.”<\/span><\/p>\n

“Thank you.” she said softly.<\/span><\/p>\n

The space between them seemed to crackle with electricity. Anything to do with business disappeared with his compliment. They were no\u00a0<\/span><\/span>longer\u00a0employer and employee, but a woman and man.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Marci felt the fluttering low in her belly…that delicious build-up of desire. Keefe’s eyes flared with heat, as if he could\u00a0<\/span><\/span>sense her body’s reaction to him.<\/p>\n

Aaron’s arrival with their dessert and coffee broke the spell. She focused on the waiter’s hand while he poured her coffee. She didn’t look at Keefe, but knew he watched her.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

As soon as Aaron left, Marci lifted her dessert fork and cut a bite of cheesecake. Keefe’s fork came into her line of vision as he, too, cut a piece of the creamy dessert.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

“I agree with you,” he said.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

She braved a look at his face. “About what?”<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

“You can’t worry about calories when something is this good.”<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

His joke dissolved the tension between them. Marci relaxed and smiled at him. “That’s why it’s a special treat. If I ate it every day, the way I’d love to, I wouldn’t be able to fit through the front door.”<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Keefe dipped his fork again into their creamy dessert. “There are a lot of ways to work off calories.”<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Just like that, the electricity crackled again. It had been an innocent sentence, yet it sent images through Marci’s head of all the ways she and\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Keefe could work off calories–in bed, bent over a desk, on the loveseat in her office.<\/span><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
