Help Falling in Love

The
staff of Cheryl Harper’s Elvis-themed Rock’n'Rolla Hotel are back
with a funny, fresh romance that goes undercover—under the covers!
As a
former Marine, hotel manager Tony Ortega has plenty of experience
assessing threats, and the hotel’s newest guest, Randa Whitmore, is
a code red. Tall, blonde, and with legs for miles, she may look like
his every fantasy, but he knows she’s not really visiting for the
famed Elvis Week. Though dangerously drawn to his new guest, Tony
will do anything to protect his job . . . especially if it means
sleeping with the enemy.
Business
strategist Randa Whitmore never meant to be undercover in Memphis. In
August. Sweating her expensive spa treatments away. But snagging
another perfect hotel location for her father’s empire means using
all the tricks in her designer arsenal. And even though the sexy,
tattooed manager seems oblivious to her charms, Randa’s prepared to
bring out the big guns—just so long as she can stay objective and
out of Tony’s muscled arms. After all, it’s just business, right?

Can’t Help Falling
In Love Excerpt: A Kiss Like This
Few things feel better
than a successful visit to a book store, am I right? When you walk
out with a stack of new books that are so good you can’t even
decide which one to read first…that’s a good feeling. And in
Can’t Help Falling In Love,
hotel heiress Randa Whitmore and tough-guy Tony Ortega are about to
share their first kiss. In front of a bookstore. Does it really get
any better than that?
His face was determined as he leaned
towards her, and she lost her breath because it looked like he was
going to kiss her.
Then he did, his lips a warm shock
against hers.
This kiss was a sweet hello. His lips
settled on hers in an easy slide. When she gripped his shoulders and
tried to pull him closer, he smiled against her lips and his tongue
was a quick tease over her bottom lip before he rested his forehead
against hers. Randa didn’t move. She was afraid to. He was going to
step back, and she didn’t want him to. She wanted to stay right
here with him. Finally he took a deep breath and leaned back just
enough to look her in the eyes. “There’s this one other thing
I’ve been dying to do.”
“Yes.” Randa nodded her head. She
had no idea what it was, but she was ready.
Tony squeezed his eyes shut for just a
second. The sound he made when he opened them again was somewhere
between a laugh and a moan. Maybe it was both. Randa understood
exactly what that felt like.
He pressed forward to kiss her again,
his hand a hot support against the back of her head and his lips
aggressively seductive. This time he coaxed her lips open and teased
her tongue with his. Each tentative touch sent a shiver of awareness
through her. She wanted to press her breasts against his chest, get
closer, so much closer, but the seat belt pinned her down. Her breath
was long gone when Tony ended the kiss, his breath coming in quiet
pants as he stared into her eyes, but when his hand rested on her
knee she tried to gasp. And when he touched her thigh, lightly
rubbing his hand on bare skin, she lost her mind.
She actually bit her lip to keep from
moaning like a porn star. Because a man touched her thigh. It was a
little like she was back in high school but so much hotter.
Seduced in front of a bookstore. Did it
get any better? More private, certainly. But better, no way. Tony’s
eyes were hot as he stared down at her.
Randa squeezed the hand on her thigh
and said, “Satisfied?”
The look in his eyes was predatory.
Tony shook his head. “No way. Not even close.”
Randa licked her lips. “Good. Me
either.”
