Excerpt:
Marz was playing with fire. He damn well knew he was. But
that didn’t make him want to pull away.
He just wanted more of the heat.
Marz nuzzled the side of Emilie’s face with his nose, his
lips. She turned her face toward him and offered her lips. He couldn’t refuse.
Capturing her mouth on a tortured groan, Marz poured every
ounce of his longing and confusion and desire into the kiss. They grasped at
each other and Emilie turned in his arms. He pinned her against the railing and
planted his hands in her hair. She opened to him and accepted his tongue,
sucking him in until Marz’s blood ran hot and his hard-on ached. He ground
himself against her and devoured every little moan and whimper and gasp she
spilled.
Trailing kisses from her mouth to her jaw to her ear, Marz
dragged a hand down her body and grasped her breast in his palm. She cried out
and her head dropped back, drawing his mouth to her neck, where he licked and
sucked and nipped as he kneaded her soft flesh. “You are so damn sexy.”
Her hand flew to his hair and grasped the back of his head.
“Touch me,” she said. “Don’t stop touching me.”
Marz pulled away long enough to do a three-sixty scan. The
lighthouse cast a dark shadow over them, and the pier was otherwise empty. His
heart raced and his pulse hammered. He dove back in, trailing kisses down her
neck to her collarbone, which he traced with his tongue. Her nails scratched
deliciously at his scalp and her grip urged him down.
Through the thin material of her blouse and bra, he mouthed
and flicked at her nipple. He shifted the deep vee of the neckline to reveal a
lacy royal blue bra. He tongued her through the lace until she was panting and
moaning and writhing against the railing.
“Oh, my God,” she rasped as he shifted her shirt and moved
to her other breast. This time, he tugged the lace down to bare the deep pink
of her nipple. She tasted and smelled like something fruity and sweet, and it
made Marz hunger for more. “Derek,” she gasped. “Yes, yes, yes.”
Her palm cupped and squeezed the bulge of his erection
through his jeans. His hips jerked into the touch, craving more of her, all of
her. He groaned and it seemed to egg her on, because she pressed and rubbed her
hand against his trapped cock until he was panting and imagining taking her
down to the ground.
“Jesus, Emilie, you’re driving me fucking crazy,” he said as
he worked kisses back up her body to her mouth.
“I know just what you mean,” she said. Her molten hot gaze
met his. Eyes hooded, lips shiny and swollen, cheeks flushed, she was a
freaking goddess standing under the moonlit sky. He felt the force of her
beauty every bit as much in his chest as in his cock.
“You sure about that, babe?” he asked as he took her mouth
in a deep, wet kiss. “Because my imagination has me stripping you of those
fuck-hot jeans.”
“Yeah?” She rubbed his cock in a long stroke with the heel
of her hand. “Mine has us getting a room at the hotel back there. So I’m sure,”
she said with a smile.
Marz’s heart hammered against his breastbone and his cock
jerked, clearly liking her idea, too. Except, if he took her up on it, he was
going to end up buried inside her for as long as she’d have him. And so long as
this clusterfuck of a situation defined their relationship, he couldn’t take
things that far. Could he?
About HARD TO COME BY:

loyalty...
Derek DiMarzio would do anything for the members of his

with a covert operation to restore their honor, and even go behind enemy
lines. He just never expected to want the beautiful woman he found there.
When a sexy stranger asks questions about her brother,
Emilie Garza is torn between loyalty to the brother she once idolized and
fear of the war-changed man he's become. Derek's easy smile and quiet
strength tempt Emilie to open up, igniting the desire between them and leading
Derek to crave a woman he shouldn't trust.
As the team's investigation reveals how powerful their
enemies are, Derek and Emilie must prove where their loyalties lie before
hearts are broken and lives are lost. Because love is too hard to come by
to let slip away...
