Come and Get Me

 

 

 

Excerpt

Come and Get Me What would you do if an irresistibly desirable but utterly untouchable woman whispered to you, If you want me, you'll have to come and get me?

That's exactly the dilemma that Elliott Foster, CEO of Foster MacKenzie, faces when she meets the alluring Lauren Collier, Chief Legal Counsel of a Fortune 500 company.  Elliott never has a shortage of attractive women willing to share her bed, and she doesn't care if they are interested in her or just her money.  By her rules, if two women are attracted to each other there's no reason why two women with a mutual agenda for pleasure shouldn't spend the night together—or in some cases, the afternoon.  No strings, no complications—until Lauren, who is intriguing but decidedly off-limits.  Lauren doesn't fit the pattern of casual liaisons and Elliot knows she should walk away.  Instead she finds herself in the unusual position of pursuing a woman, and even more disconcertingly...on Lauren's terms.  Suddenly Elliott finds herself on a rollercoaster ride of passion and discovery that promises to be the ride of her life.

Heartland Two strangers collide on an empty country road…accident or fate?

 

Political strategist Rachel Stanton, jaded and disillusioned by the scratching, clawing, and mudslinging of the campaign trail, books a week at the Springdale Ranch for a much-needed vacation. Springdale sounds like just the place to exorcise unhappy childhood memories and straighten out her head. Shivley McCoy has spent the last four years casting out her own painful past, working and sweating to make her ranch a successful business venture. She has nothing in common with fast-living Rachel Stanton, and after their inauspicious first meeting, is quite certain she’ll never see her again.   

 

Shivley is thrown when she comes face-to-face with Rachel among her group of new arrivals, and sparks of a most unexpected sort ignite.  

 

"We have to stop meeting like this. People might talk."

"And what would they say?"

"That we're madly in love and can't bear to be apart."
