Excerpt

Aston glanced over at Tamara and frowned. “We told her he had a girlfriend. Why is she still after him? She looks like an idiot.”

Ashley turned surprised eyes on Aston. “Easy. She’s just being Tamara. She’s always like that around new guys. Especially new guys who look like Sam. I mean, damn. The boy is gorgeous.”

And he was. Aston couldn’t deny it. She actually had a chance to look at him tonight, really look at him without being obvious. His dark wash jeans fit him just right. She could see how tight his ass was beneath them, and she couldn’t help wondering what it would feel like to reach out and pinch it. The fact that Sam was such a sweet guy made her want to do not-so sweet things to him.

Ugh! The temptation to think about him in ways she shouldn’t was overwhelming. Sam was working for her father.

He wasn’t from around here, which meant he’d eventually leave like all the summer people did. He was also, as she’d found out tonight, taken.

And so was she. And she couldn’t stand the guy! There were times when he acted like he could see straight through her, to parts of herself she kept locked away deep inside. And that drove her crazy in ways she’d never been driven.

So why did she melt a little inside when those tawny-colored eyes locked onto hers? And why did her stomach clench when he spoke her name with that adorable drawl of his? And why the hell did she have to cross her legs and clench her muscles on the rare occasions when he touched her?
